Soma Gold Corp. announced that increased production at the Cordero Mine will now support the restart of operations at the el Limon mill, which has been under "care and maintenance" since 2019. The mill restart process is scheduled to commence in early January, with an estimated completion time of 3-4 months.

The decision to restart the el Limon mill, rather than relocating it to the el Bagre Gold Complex, was influenced by the close proximity of the el Limon mill to the recently acquired Aurora Mine on the OTU Centro concessions. The Company anticipates resuming mine production at the historically producing and fully permitted Aurora Mine by the end of 2024. Currently, Cordero mine's production surpasses the capacity of the el Bagre mill, allowing for the building of a stockpile.

Once operational, the el Limon mill will process material from Cordero, Aurora and formalized small miners.
