Full Year 2023 Outlook

Expand exploration of the expanded property package along the Otu fault to continue to build total Resources and to identify the next mine on the Antioquia property, extending the 'Life of Mine'.

Continue the process of formalizing the small miners working on the Company's concessions to result in 10% of the ounces produced be from these small miners.

Determine whether to restart the el Limon Mill where it is or to move the mill to the El Bagre Gold Complex. This decision will be driven by a combination of initial capital cost and long-term operating costs.

Review additional strategic additions to the Company's concession package, targeting the trends identified by the exploration program.

Drill the Cordero deposit at depth with the new underground drills purchased by the Company to confirm the deposit continues at depth, increasing the Cordero resource.

Based on H1 production and H2 outlook, the el Bagre Operations are expected to produce between 35,000 and 36,000 ounces at an AISC of between $1,050 and $1,100 per ounce during 2023.

Drill the Aurora Mine to establish a mining plan that will bring the fully permitted mine into production in 2024.

Javier Cordova, Soma's President and CEO, states, 'Our team has delivered another strong quarter, and we continue to perform in line with our 2023 plan and guidance. We anticipate a strong finish to the year as we continue to ramp up production to meet our aggressive growth objectives for the year. Our plan to expand milling capacity by re-starting the el Limon Mill will position us to meet the growth plan for 2024 and beyond.'
