Financial and Operating Highlights for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

Geoff Hampson , Soma's President and CEO, states, "The results for the quarter were below expectations due to the strike by the Company's unionized employees, which resulted in the loss of 22 working days. The interruption reduced gold production and revenue by approximately 1,500 ounces, or $7.7 million , and lowered EBITDA by approximately $3.1 million ." Hampson further states, "We are focused on completing the required repairs to the thickener and leach tanks, where damage occurred due to the prolonged inactivity. While these repairs are underway, we are operating at approximately 75% of full throughput and expect to return to full capacity by mid-December. I am pleased to have our team back at work and am confident we can quickly restore the strong working relationships that have long been a hallmark of our operations."

He adds: "Our expansion plan remains firmly on track. We expect higher production levels next year as additional mining areas at Aurora and Escondida come online and as we advance the formalization of the Diamantina, Lemoncito Norte, and other small mines on our property. With the labor dispute now behind us, we are moving forward with renewed focus and a commitment to applying the lessons learned to strengthen our operations. Ultimately, it is clear that no one benefits from a strike, and we remain dedicated to building a stable, productive, and collaborative working environment for all." 

The Company further announces the grant of 250,000 stock options to an officer of the Company pursuant to its equity incentive plan. The stock options vest over three years, have an exercise price of $1.61 per share, and expire five years from the date of grant.
