(1) Based on information in the technical report of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. ("Santacruz") entitled "2013 Mineral Resource Estimate, Gavilanes Project, Durango, Mexico", prepared by Fletcher Bourke, M.Sc., P.Geo., Hans Smit, B.Sc., P.Geo., Gary H. Giroux, M.A.Sc., P.Eng., with an effective date of November 13, 2013 and a signature date of January 20, 2014, prepared pursuant to NI 43-101 (the "Gavilanes Technical Report") and in such other documents as may be referenced on Sailfish's financials statements, website and marketing materials. The Gavilanes Technical Report is posted under Santacruz's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
The equation to establish AgEq is: (Cu% x 71.65) + (Pb% x 21.38) + (Auppm x 42.37) + (Agppm x 0.69) + (Zn% x 19.18) / 0.69. 100% recovery has been assumed for all metals in this silver equivalent estimate. At this stage of the project no metallurgy has been completed and the reader is cautioned that 100% recoveries are never achieved. The resource estimate was calculated based on 9,623.9 meters of HQ diamond drilling in 47 drill holes over approximately 750 meters of strike length and a total of 3,362 assays. The resources were defined to a maximum depth of approximately 300 meters below surface with a total of 198 down hole surveys utilized for control. Joe Hinzer, P.Geo., the President and Director of Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limited is independent of Sailfish and a "Qualified Person" under NI 43-101 has reviewed and approved the written scientific and technical disclosure contained in this news release.
Sailfish is treating this estimate as an historical estimate, not a current mineral resource or mineral reserve, as a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify it as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Sailfish considers this historical estimate to be relevant and reliable, although the estimate may no longer be current given the date of the Gavilanes Technical Report.
