Soma Gold ( (TSE:SOMA) ) has shared an announcement.

Soma Gold has signed a definitive agreement to purchase and install a US$2.2 million sensor-based sorting facility at its flagship El Bagre operation in Colombia, with commissioning targeted for the first half of 2026, following encouraging bench-scale test results on lower-grade feed from the Cordero Mine. Test work on nearly one tonne of material showed high mass rejection rates of up to 55%, metallurgical recoveries as high as 97%, and a 62.5% upgrade in gold grade in the sorted product, indicating that sensor-based sorting can effectively treat a range of ore grades. Management expects the technology to enable higher gold production without expanding plant capacity by upgrading run-of-mine material and making previously sub-cutoff mineralized material economically processable, while also providing a pilot platform to evaluate various feed sources and fine-tune sorting parameters, potentially improving overall operational efficiency and resource utilization at Soma’s Colombian operations.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:SOMA) stock is a Hold with a C$2.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Soma Gold stock, see the TSE:SOMA Stock Forecast page.
