Soma Gold temporarily suspends mining operations at El Bagre due to 'civil unrest'

- Soma Gold announced yesterday that mining and processing operations at its El Bagre gold mining complex in Colombia have been temporarily suspended due to civil unrest in the region.

"The general strike and protests are not aimed at legal underground operations, such as Soma's mine and mill. Still, the company has decided to suspend operations in the interest of their workers' safety," Soma said in a statement."The Government is actively working to resolve the conflict with an expectation of a quick resolution of the issues."

"At this point, the anticipated suspension will not affect the company's production guidance for 2023," Soma said.
