Tortola, British Virgin Islands--(Newsfile Corp. - January 19, 2023) - Sailfish Royalty Corp. (TSXV: FISH) (OTCQX: SROYF) (the "Company" or "Sailfish") is pleased to report that Mako Mining Corp. (TSXV: MKO) (OTCQX: MKOF) ("Mako") has announced in its press release dated January 18, 2023 record gold sales of 9,956 ounces and record silver recovered of 16,268 ounces in the fourth quarter of 2022.
As a reminder to shareholders, Sailfish holds an effective gold stream equivalent to a 3% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") on the 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") which is located approximately 2.5 kilometers south of San Albino. In addition to the above, Sailfish owns a 100% interest in the Gavilanes Silver Project located in Durango State, Mexico, and holds up to a 3% NSR on the multi-million-ounce Spring Valley project located in Nevada.
Potential Strategic Update
After receiving feedback from shareholders, Sailfish is exploring a potential structure that would contemplate separating the Spring Valley royalties from the Nicaraguan and Mexican assets. Over the next few months, the Company will be investigating this proposed structure. Separately, and as part of the Company's existing strategy, Sailfish will seek to complete highly accretive transactions, with the aim of significantly expanding its silver exposure while maintain or growing its industry leading dividend.
To date, Sailfish has returned over US$14 million to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.
