Sokoman Minerals Provides Update at Moosehead Gold Project, Central Newfoundland
St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador--(Newsfile Corp. - May 2, 2025) - Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) ("Sokoman" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following update from the 100%-owned Moosehead Gold Project in central Newfoundland. Activities at Moosehead are focused on the first of two bulk samples proposed for 2025, which is tentatively scheduled for a late May or early June extraction date. The exact timing could vary depending on contractor availability or other as yet unforeseen factors.
The first sample is a conventional bulk sample on the Western Trend using drill and blast methods (see Plan Map 1 for proposed locations). The proposed sample will consist of approximately 1,000 cubic metres of mineralized rock consisting of both high-grade quartz veining plus lower-grade wall rock that detailed channel sampling in late 2024 indicated a weighted-average gold grade of 5.78 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au). The Company has contracted P&E Mining Consultants to provide a proposed pit shell (see Plan Map 2) with a cross-sectional view and drill pattern (pending) to facilitate the sample extraction.
Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO, states, "The time is drawing near for our first bulk sample and the pieces are coming together. This pivotal step will yield critical insights into the metallurgy and gold recoveries at Moosehead, marking a significant milestone in our project's development."
The Company is still in active discussions with several third parties with regards to the conventional sample processing and will provide an update when the location and operator has been chosen. In the meantime, the Company is also expecting a formal contract from Novamera Inc. with regards to the second (surgical) sample which is expected to be extracted from the Footwall Splay Zone in the fourth quarter of 2025. This will also be an approximately 1,000 cubic metre sample. Novamera is finalizing the hole locations, and 3-4 geotechnical holes will be drilled prior to setting up the large diameter drill.
Novamera Inc. has also informed the Company that the drill is in transit from Europe where it has been undergoing a refit and maintenance work. The rig will first be deployed to a property owned by Great Atlantic Resources, 50 km to the west of Moosehead, to collect a similar sized bulk sample prior to becoming available for Sokoman.

Santacruz Silver Reports First Quarter 2025 Results
VANCOUVER, BC, June 12, 2025 /CNW/ - Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (TSXV:SCZ) (OTCQB:SCZMF) (FSE:1SZ) ("Santacruz" or the "Company") reports its financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 ("Q1 2025"). The full version of the Q1 2025 financial statements ("Financial Statements") and accompanying Management's Discussion and Analysis (the "MD&A") can be viewed on the Company's website at or on SEDAR+ at All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated. Q1 2025 Highlights Revenues of $70.3 million, a 34% increase year-over-year. Gross Profit of $27.9 million, a 6882% increase year-over-year. Net Income of $9.5 million, a 93% decrease year-over-year1. Adjusted EBITDA of $27.5 million, a 2202% increase year-over-year. Cash and cash equivalents of $32.5 million, a 706% increase year-over-year. Working Capital of $51.7 million, a 7530% increase year-over-year. Cash cost per silver equivalent ounce sold ($/oz) of $17.84, a 16% decrease year-over-year. AISC per silver equivalent ounce sold of $22.34, a 8% decrease year-over-year. Silver Equivalent Ounces produced of 3,688,129, a 5% decrease year-over-year2. ___________________________ 1. The decrease in Net Income is related to an extraordinary gain recorded in Q1 2024 from the adjustment to the consideration payable. Please refer to Note 10 of the financial statements for further details. 2. The Full Q1 2025 production results were released in a news release dated June 9, 2025. Arturo Préstamo, Executive Chairman and CEO of Santacruz, commented: "Q1 2025 represents a strong beginning to the year, reflecting our continued emphasis on operational efficiency and financial discipline. We achieved a notable year-over-year improvement in profitability and cash generation, with gross profit, and adjusted EBITDA all registering substantial growth. These results underscore the strength, flexibility, and scalability of Santacruz's business model. We remain firmly focused on driving long-term value through disciplined capital allocation and a commitment to safety and operational excellence." Mr. Préstamo continued, "We maintained a strong liquidity position at quarter-end, closing with $33 million in cash and cash equivalents. This was achieved despite a $10 million payment under the voluntary acceleration plan and the settlement of more than $19 million of 2024 current income tax. These outcomes reflect the strength of our underlying cash flows and our prudent approach to financial management, which continue to support our strategic priorities as we strengthen our balance sheet integrity. Backed by a seasoned team in Mexico, Bolivia, and Canada, along with a flexible and efficient operating model and a strong track record of execution, we are well-positioned to take advantage of today´s metal prices and keep delivering sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders." Selected consolidated financial and operating information for Q1 2025 and Q1 2024 and Q4 2024 are presented below. All financial information is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), and all dollar amounts are expressed in thousands of US dollars, except per unit amounts, unless otherwise noted. Production In Q1 2025, the Company processed 471,773 tonnes of ore, producing 3,688,129 silver equivalent ounces. This total includes 1,590,063 ounces of silver and 20,719 tonnes of zinc. Q1 2025 vs Q4 2024 In Q1 2025, ore processed was slightly lower than in Q4 2024, reflecting the typical seasonal slowdown, particularly across Bolivian operations, as well as scheduled mine sequencing and temporary constraints that modestly impacted throughput. Notably, Zimapán had a 3% increase in processed mineralized material, supported by sustained operational efficiency and continuous optimization efforts. Silver equivalent production was 10% lower, primarily due to reduced head grades and throughput. Silver output declined by 10%, while zinc production was 11% lower, consistent with the expected mine plan for the quarter. Despite these lower volumes, the Company remained focused on maximizing margins by prioritizing higher-silver-content zones. With temporary constraints now resolved and silver prices trending favorably, operations are well-positioned to deliver strong cash flow generation throughout the year. Q1 2025 vs Q1 2024 In Q1 2025, consolidated operational performance remained stable year-over-year, with total tonnes processed virtually unchanged compared to Q1 2024. Silver equivalent production was 5% lower, reflecting the impact of temporary operational constraints and expected ore body variability at certain Bolivian operations. Despite these factors, silver output remained flat, supported by higher silver head grades at key operations and improved metallurgical recoveries, particularly at the Caballo Blanco Group. Zinc production decreased by 9%, primarily due to lower throughput and head grades at Porco and Caballo Blanco, partially offset by strong results at Zimapán, where zinc output rose 23% year-over-year. Zimapán also led overall growth, increasing material processed by 9% and silver equivalent production by 14%, highlighting its operational improvements, as we develop and prepare level 960 now with all required underground equipment at site. The strategic reorganization of the Caballo Blanco and San Lucas, particularly the reallocation of Reserva mine's output, also contributed to improved metallurgical efficiency and stable margins. These results highlight the flexibility provided by the Company's diversified asset base and its focus on maximizing recoveries. Cash Cost and All-in Sustaining Cost per Silver Equivalent Ounce Sold Starting January 1, 2025, Bolivian operations adopted a new exchange rate methodology supported by IAS 21, replacing the fixed official rate (6.96 BOB/USD) with a market-based spot rate (average 12.20 BOB/USD) obtained from banks. Under IAS 21, entities should estimate a spot rate at which an orderly exchange transaction would take place between market participants under prevailing economic conditions. Recording BOB denominated transactions in USD using the market-based rate, provides a more accurate representation of the economic reality of the underlying transactions. Q1 2025 vs Q4 2024 Costs improved notably in Q1 2025 when compared to Q4 2024, with consolidated cash cost and AISC per silver equivalent ounce sold decreasing to $17.84 and $22.34, respectively, from $22.38 and $27.83. This improvement was mainly driven by the Bolivian operations (Bolívar, Porco, Caballo Blanco, and San Lucas) which reported significant reductions across all cost metrics. Caballo Blanco Group saw the most considerable improvements. In contrast, Zimapan's AISC increased from $27.13 to $34.32/oz, as a significant portion of its annual capital budget was deployed during Q1 to accelerate key investments aimed at increasing future production at Carrizal mine level 960. Q1 2025 vs Q1 2024 Compared to Q1 2024, there were substantial cost improvements during Q1 2025. Consolidated cash cost decreased from $21.19 to $17.84/oz, and AISC from $24.27 to $22.34/oz. The most notable improvements came from Caballo Blanco, where AISC dropped significantly due to better metallurgical performance as a consequence of achieving improvements and efficiencies at underground and milling operations. Zimapán, however, recorded an increase in AISC to $34.32/oz (from $22.59), as a substantial portion of its budgeted CAPEX was executed in Q1 to bring forward investments that support higher production in upcoming quarters at Carrizal mine at level 960.

Investors and shareholders are invited to participate in the webinar.
