Soma's Executive Chairman, Geoff Hampson, states, "It's gratifying to see the Cordero Mine in production and the grade higher than expected. The underground mining equipment acquired by Soma, which will be delivered this Summer, will ensure that production continues to ramp up. AuEq production is expected to further increase by the end of the year as more tons are mined. Once total mine production exceeds 600 tpd, we will restart the el Limon mill, and monthly gold production will increase commensurately." Hampson further states, "At the current level of production of approximately 2,500 ounces per month at current market prices, the mine generates an estimated US $2 million in EBITDA per month. We expect EBITDA to further grow with the expected increase in production."
