Sailfish Provides Update on San Albino Gold Stream Following Mako's Recent Announcement
TORTOLA, British Virgin Islands, March 17, 2021 - Sailfish Royalty Corp. (TSXV: FISH) (OTCQX: SROYF) (the "Company" or "Sailfish") is pleased to announce significant updates on the Company's gold stream equivalent to a 3% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") on the fully permitted San Albino gold project located in northern Nicaragua ("San Albino").
On March 16, 2021, Mako Mining Corp. ("Mako") publicly announced positive drill results from expansion drilling at San Albino. The objective of Mako's drill program was to target the SW Zone at San Albino, where very limited mineral resources (approximately 0.4%) were estimated by Mine Development Associates ("MDA"), a division of RESPEC, out of Reno, Nevada. A technical report for the updated mineral resource estimate (the "MDA Resource") was filed in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") under Mako's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com and is available on Mako's website at www.makominingcorp.com (see Mako's press release dated October 19, 2020).
Highlights (from Mako's March 16, 2021 news release)
- Intersected shallow high-grade mineralization outside of the MDA Resource
-
- 62.04 g/t Au and 28.55 g/t Ag over 2 meters ("m") (1.5 m estimated true width) interval comprising quartz vein with visible gold in drill hole SA20-443 approximately 15 m from surface
- Potential for another near surface vein with a strike extent of at least 120 m
-
- 29.4 g/t Au and 28.0 g/t Ag over 0.70 m in trench SA20-TR2-51 approximately 2 m from surface in a shallowly dipping quartz vein
Cesar Gonzalez, Chief Executive Officer of Sailfish states that, "it is encouraging to see positive drilling results at San Albino's SW Zone where MDA estimated very limited mineral resources. These drilling results confirm the existence of near surface high-grade gold, which Mako anticipates converting to mineral resources as the drilling program advances. This in turn bodes well for the longer-term prospects of the gold stream we have on San Albino."
