TORTOLA, British Virgin Islands, June 1, 2022
/CNW/ - Sailfish Royalty Corp. (TSXV: FISH) (OTCQX: SROYF) (the
"Company" or "Sailfish") is pleased to report that
Mako Mining Corp. ("Mako") has announced a discovery of new
gold bearing veins at Las Conchitas North, including an intercept
of 51.80 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold and 29.8 g/t silver
over 0.90 meters ("m") (estimated true width), which is
located approximately 750 m south of
the San Albino gold mine.
As a reminder to shareholders, Sailfish currently holds a gold
stream equivalent to a 3% net smelter return royalty ("NSR")
on the producing San Albino gold mine located in northern
Nicaragua ("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").
Cesar Gonzalez, Chief Executive
Officer of Sailfish states that, "We continue to be impressed with
the Mako exploration team as they execute on their US$17.2 million and 110,080 m exploration campaign announced on
March 9, 2022. We are especially
excited with the announcement of a gold discovery at Las Conchitas
North, only 750 m from the producing
San Albino gold mine. In addition to the cash flow currently being
generated from the gold stream on the San Albino gold mine, we look
forward to future production and cash flow from our 2% NSR on Las
Conchitas. We are also pleased to report that we have declared our
fourth consecutive quarterly dividend of US$0.0125 per share, which will be payable on
July 15, 2022 to shareholders of
record as of the close of business on June
30, 2022."
Highlights (from Mako's June 1,
2022 news release)
Initial drilling in 2018 targeted a mineralized structure
exposed in the historic San Pablo working where seven drill holes,
totaling 260.30 m were drilled. No
additional drilling had been completed in the area until this year,
which has resulted in the discovery of two veins, the Mina
Francisco and the Tirado vein.
Highlights of the recent drilling:
- Mina Francisco
-
- 51.80 g/t Au and 29.8 g/t Ag over 0.90 m (ETW)
- San Pablo
-
- 27.60 g/t of Au and 17.1 g/t of Ag over 0.50 m (ETW)
- Tirado
-
- 39.30 g/t Au and 49.0 g/t Ag over 0.50m (0.4 m
ETW)
- Tirado
-
- 10.97 g/t Au and 23.2 g/t Ag over 3.50 m (3.30 m
ETW)
* ETWs are estimated true width measured from
interpreted sections.
To date, a total of 4,670 m in
the 2022 drilling campaign have been completed in 35 drill holes at
Las Conchitas North resulting in the discovery of the Mina
Francisco and Tirado veins as well as further delineation of the
San Pablo vein. The three mineralized structures are located at the
northern portion of the Las Conchitas area in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua which is interpreted to be a new
emerging orogenic gold camp with over 28 kilometers of relatively
unexplored strike length.
