Cesar Gonzalez, Chief Executive Officer of Sailfish states that, "We are extremely pleased with the ongoing drilling campaign at Las Conchitas which continues to yield impressive results. We are also impressed with Mako's commitment to continued drilling at Las Conchitas while advancing San Albino into production. This provides significant value to Sailfish as we hold the gold stream equivalent to a 3% NSR on the San Albino gold project and a 2% NSR on the rest of the area surrounding San Albino, including Las Conchitas."
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 (Las Conchitas area) are cornerstone assets of the Company and that upcoming project development and exploration updates provided by Mako should be monitored with increased interest.
