Financial and Operating Highlights for the Three and Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

Financial Summary Year-end December 31, 2025 (CNW Group/Soma Gold Corp.)

Geoff Hampson, Soma's President and CEO, states, "2025 was a challenging year for Soma as the impact of the two-month work stoppage continued to affect the operations at the El Bagre Mill for several months after its resolution. When the strike was called, the union did not allow Soma to implement normal shutdown and care-and-maintenance protocols, which caused damage to critical equipment. The resulting mechanical issues prevented the El Bagre Mill from resuming full operating capacity until Q1 2026." Hampson further states, "The operating plan for Q1 2026 has been negatively affected by the slow production recovery, unusually low grades in the stopes being mined, and difficulties in receiving feed from both the formalized and company-owned small mines on the property. Some of these issues have been resolved, and the others are in process. The Company expects production to increase to the planned rate by the end of H1 2026. Forecasts for H2 2026, FY 2027 and FY 2028 remain strong and unchanged."

The Company also announces that Greg Hayes has resigned as Chief Financial Officer to pursue other interests. The Board of Directors and management wish to thank Mr. Hayes for his significant contributions to Soma during his tenure and wish him well in his future endeavours. The Company is conducting a search for a new CFO, and Mr. Hayes has agreed to assist Soma during the transition period. A further update will be provided in due course.
