Sailfish Royalty Provides Update on San Albino Gold Stream Following Mako's Recent Announcements
TORTOLA, Sept. 17, 2020 - Sailfish Royalty Corp. (TSXV: FISH) (the "Company" or "Sailfish") is pleased to announce significant updates on the Company's San Albino gold stream equivalent to a 3% NSR. On September 17, 2020, Mako Mining Corp. ("Mako") publicly announced grade and tonnage results from mining of the first full bench containing the San Albino vein at its San Albino gold project located in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua ("San Albino"). The bench mined consisted of two separate three-meter half benches between 616 and 610 meters above sea level and contained 1,002 ounces Au and 1,511 ounces Ag within 2,654 tonnes of diluted vein material grading 11.74 g/t Au and 17.7 g/t Ag.
On August 24, 2020, Mako publicly announced that the Ministry of Environmental and Natural Resources of Nicaragua has amended the environmental permit granted to Mako in 2017 (see Mako press release dated September 12, 2017) to allow for the processing of up to 1,000 tonnes per day at San Albino, which is twice the original permitted rate of 500 tonnes per day.
Akiba Leisman, Chief Executive Officer of Sailfish states that, "the recent announcements by Mako highlight San Albino as one of the highest-grade open pit projects globally with a well-defined path toward expansion. We congratulate the whole team at Mako and look forward to additional updates as San Albino nears production and drilling continues throughout the district-scale land package."
Sailfish would like to remind its shareholders that the gold stream on San Albino and royalty on the surrounding district-scale land package are cornerstone assets of the Company and that upcoming project development and exploration updates provided by Mako should be monitored with increased interest.
