Highlights

Soma Gold Corp has commenced a diamond drilling program at the El Limon Mine in Colombia to explore high-grade gold intercepts.
The 2024 drilling will investigate the potential extension of veins between historical intercepts in the mine's hanging wall and footwall.
Ongoing exploration efforts also include the La Aurora and Cordero mines, as well as the Machuca area.

Exploration Overview

Soma Gold Corp (OTC:SMAGF) has initiated a diamond drilling program at its El Limon Mine in Colombia, spurred by a review of historical data that highlighted significant high-grade gold intercepts. This 2024 drilling campaign aims to determine the continuity of gold-bearing veins between previous intercepts in the mine's hanging wall and footwall.

Chris Buchanan, Vice President of Exploration at Soma Gold, remarked, “El Limon is a well-known historical mine in Colombia.” He expressed enthusiasm about the exploration team's findings, particularly the potential for parallel veins near the current underground workings.

Significant historical drilling results underscore the mine's potential. Notably, drill hole SDH-01-2017 revealed an intercept of 1.0 meter at 3.4 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, which included a high-grade interval of 0.15 meters at 22.9 g/t Au. Additionally, LDDH-21-004 produced impressive results, including 1.0 meter at 30.2 g/t Au and a sub-interval of 0.6 meters at 50.4 g/t Au. Another section of LDDH-21-004 showed 1.0 meter at 6.9 g/t Au, with a portion yielding 0.3 meters at 23.0 g/t Au.

The El Limon Mine is located within a brittle-ductile shear zone associated with the Otú Fault, known for its gold-bearing quartz veins. The current drilling efforts will not only focus on infill drilling but will also assess a potential parallel vein identified between existing drill holes.

In addition to the drilling program, Soma Gold is dewatering deeper levels of the mine to enable geological mapping, sampling, and evaluations of historical pillars for any remaining gold deposits.

Beyond the El Limon Mine, the company continues its exploration activities at the La Aurora and Cordero mines, as well as in the Machuca area, signaling a robust commitment to expanding its gold resource portfolio.
