Sailfish Royalty Corp. Provides Update on San Albino Gold Stream Following Mako's Recent Announcements
TORTOLA, Nov. 30, 2020 - Sailfish Royalty Corp. (TSX-V: FISH) (OTCQX: SROYF) (the "Company" or "Sailfish") is pleased to announce significant updates on the Company's San Albino gold stream equivalent to a 3% NSR. On November 10, 2020, Mako Mining Corp. ("Mako") publicly announced grade and tonnage results from mining of the second 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 610 and 604 meters above sea level ("Bench 604") and contained 1,532 ounces Au and 2,569 ounces Ag within 2,467 tonnes of diluted vein material grading 19.32 g/t Au and 32.4 g/t Ag.
The 2,467 tonnes of diluted vein material are now sitting in a high-grade stockpile awaiting processing in addition to the 2,654 tonnes from the first full bench. An additional 12,840 tonnes of historical dump material grading 2.35 g/t Au was also mined from Bench 604. This stockpiled historical dump material is expected to be used as initial mill feed during the ramp up to commercial production, which is expected from January 2021 to early Q2 2021.
Below is a table included by Mako in the November 10, 2020 press release summarizing the vein material mined at San Albino from the first two benches that is now sitting in stockpile.

Cesar Gonzalez, Chief Executive Officer of Sailfish states that, "the grades being mined and stockpiled by Mako at San Albino are truly remarkable, especially for an open pit project. We look forward to the commencement of production at San Albino and, most importantly, the corresponding growth in cash flow at Sailfish from the gold stream on the project."
Sailfish would like to remind its shareholders that the gold stream equivalent to a 3% NSR on San Albino and 2% NSR 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.
