TORTOLA, British Virgin Islands, Oct. 25, 2022 /CNW/ - Sailfish Royalty Corp. (TSXV: FISH) (OTCQX: SROYF) (the "Company" or "Sailfish") is pleased to report that Mako Mining Corp. ("Mako") has announced additional results from its recent definition and expansion drilling program at the Las Conchitas area of its wholly-owned San Albino-Murra property located in northern Nicaragua. The Las Conchitas area is located immediately south of the producing San Albino gold mine ("San Albino"), which is currently in commercial production.
As a reminder to shareholders, Sailfish currently holds a gold stream equivalent to a 3% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") on San Albino and a 2% NSR on the Las Conchitas area which consists of Las Conchitas North, Las Conchitas Central and Las Conchitas South (collectively, "Las Conchitas").
Paolo Lostritto, Chief Executive Officer of Sailfish states that, "Recent drill results by Mako at their Las Conchitas area continues to demonstrate an expanded mineralized footprint along with gold grades which are above what is currently being mined at their nearby San Albino pit. Mako currently has seven drill rigs working in Nicaragua as part of their US$17.2 million exploration program announced earlier this year; five of which are dedicated to the Los Conchitas area. Year-to-date, Mako has completed 208 drill holes (30,558 metres) with the objective of updating the Company's mineral resources. Given that Sailfish holds a 2% NSR on the entire Las Conchitas region, we look forward to the maiden Las Conchitas resource which is expected in 2023."
