Geoff Hampson, Soma's President and CEO, states, "The first half of 2025 delivered strong results, achieving 91.6% of plan. The second quarter's production numbers were below target due to a combination of lower average-grade ore and mechanical issues at the el Bagre Mill. These issues have now been resolved and are not expected to reoccur, as construction of the new 20X20 leach tank has been completed. The resulting excess capacity will allow the maintenance team to take individual leach tanks offline for preventative maintenance without reducing throughput. This additional capacity is expected to ultimately increase gold production as metallurgical analysis indicates recovery could improve to approximately 90% due to the increased residence time provided by the new tank." Mr. Hampson adds, "The el Limon Mill is now operational and will be ramping up production over the coming months. Ball Mill #1 is currently processing ore and is expected to reach 100 TPD within the next two months. The bull gear for Ball Mill #2 will be installed in October and, once completed, production throughput at the mill will increase to 200 TPD by year-end. Once the el Limon Mill is fully operational and processing higher-grade ore from the recently announced Escondida acquisition, total annual production from both mills is expected to increase to between 9,000 and 12,000 ounces per year."
