Gross profit margin from mining operations came in at 44.1%, up from 21.5% last quarter but down from 46.2% last year.

The firm relayed that the Fenix portal has reached Level 2 and 3 at the Cordero deposit, from which the first ore was processed in August 2021. “As a result, Q3 production and financial results compare favourably to the previous quarter as some of the initial development ore from Cordero was brought to the mill,” explained Soma Gold’s CEO Javier Cordova.
The mining company is still setting its target to achieve full production of approximately 600 tonnes per day at an average grade of 6.5 g/t in Q2 2022. The firm points this as a precursor to start its second mill, el Limon.
Soma Gold last traded at $0.39 on the TSX Venture.
