Soma Gold Reports Initial Channel Sample Results at Colossa Mine in Antioquia

Soma Gold Corp. (TSXV: SOMA) has announced preliminary exploration results from its Colossa Mine, located within the Machuca Project in Antioquia, Colombia. Sampling across multiple mine levels yielded gold assays, with a notable high of 1.0m @ 29.83 g/t Au, including 0.45m @ 66.28 g/t Au.

The Colossa Mine, a small-scale artisanal operation previously exploited in the 1800s, lies within a mineralized trend along the Otú Fault, covering multiple historical mines across a 1.8 km corridor. Soma says that its ongoing exploration indicates high-potential gold zones, further evidenced by stream sediment results and recent channel samples.

The Colossa Mine’s quartz veins, positioned in a unique orientation relative to the Otú Fault, resemble the configuration of veins at Aris Mining’s El Silencio mine in Segovia, raising expectations of further vein extensions. Soma Gold has scheduled an initial 500-meter diamond drill program in late 2024 to further explore these zones.

Since 2023, all Soma exploration samples have been processed by ALS Lima for standardized fire-assay and ICP-MS analysis due to lab improvements at Soma’s Operadora mine lab. Soma’s properties in Antioquia now cover over 56 km of the Otú Fault, including other significant mines along the district’s mineralized trend.

Soma Gold Corp. holds mining interests in Antioquia, Colombia, and Para State, Brazil. The company’s El Bagre Mill is currently operational, with funds from production directed toward regional exploration efforts.
