(TSXV: SOMA) (WKN: A2P4DU) (OTC: SMAGF) (the "Company" or "Soma") is pleased to announce drill results targeting the "Atenas" Zone of the Cordero Mine on the Bagre Project in central Colombia (Figure 1). Thirty-eight diamond drill holes from underground and surface drill stations have been completed, totaling 6,737 m. The drill program was designed to provide infill drilling to support mining operations and test the dip and strike extent of the Atenas Zone (see Figures 2 and 3). The drilling results outlined in this press release extend the veins 60 m along strike and 160 m down dip. The Cordero Deposit is hosted in the El Carmen stock and consists of coarse-grained tonalite, diorite, and gabbroic phases. The quartz veins form as laminated fault-filled veins within a sinistral brittle-ductile shear zone. They are interpreted as conjugate shears within a steeply dipping, north-striking regional shear zone. The controlling shear zone also hosts the Los Mangos Deposit, located 2.8 kilometres to the north. The quartz veins in the Cordero Deposit form a series of en echelon segments that consistently step to the right along strike. The veins have been repeatedly reactivated and exhibit three distinct phases of development: early barren quartz veins, sphalerite + galena + pyrite + gold mineralization controlled by microfractures, and brittle fracturing along the margins of the veins filled with quartz + pyrite + tellurides + gold. Gold mineralization occurs during the latter two phases of vein development. The final stage of brittle fracturing and micro-breccia is commonly associated with high gold grades. Subsequently, the veins are crosscut by aphanitic mafic dykes and numerous brittle faults. The brittle faults are generally dextral and offset the quartz veins from 1.0 m to tens of metres. The late brittle faults commonly dismember the mineralized veins into short strike-length segments, the continuity of which is difficult to discern from drill data. The Cordero Deposit is informally divided into five main zones: Atenas, Cordero, Venus, Venus Gap, and Victoria Ramp zones. Soma's Vice President of Exploration, Chris Buchanan, stated, "The Atenas Zone, located at the southern end of the Cordero Deposit, has been a key focus of our drilling efforts to support mining operations by increasing contained gold ounces and improving confidence in the resource. The current drill results have exceeded our expectations for the zone and returned some of the highest-grade assays in the deposit. We're excited to continue exploring the high-grade shoot that is developing in the upper portions of the vein set." Table 1 presents the composited assay results from thirty-six completed drill holes at the Atenas Zone. Assay results are pending for four of the recently completed drill holes. Assays range from below detection to a maximum grade of 315.7 g/t Au. Twenty of the samples returned high-grade gold values greater than 20 g/t. The drilling currently covers approximately 425 m of strike length between the southernmost drill intercept (BASDDH-23-031) and the northernmost intercept (ATEDDH-25-005). These drill holes extend the strike length of the Atenas zone by 60 m. LATDDH-25-001 and LCRDDH-25-010 extend the known dip of the vein system 85 m down dip from Level 4.5, the current mining level. The dip extent was also extended 75 m up dip, for a total increase of 160 m along the dip of the zone. Table 1: Composites from the Atenas Zone of the Cordero Deposit Hole ID From (m) To (m) W
