Press Releases

Mako Mining Corp. (TSX-V: MKO; OTCQB: MAKOF) (“Mako” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned Nicaraguan subsidiary, Nicoz Resources, S.A., has been granted a new concession by Nicaraguan Ministry of Mines and Energy (“MEM”).  The new concession, called La Segoviana, covers an area of 3,845.80 hectares (approximately 38.5 square kilometers) and is contiguous to the north and northwest of the Company’s San Albino-Murra concession in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua (see attached map).

The La Segoviana concession allows for both exploration and exploitation and is valid for a period of 25 years, until March 12, 2045.

The Company now holds 100% of four mineral concessions in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua for a total land package of approximately 18,817 hectares (188 square kilometers).

Akiba Leisman, Chief Executive Officer of Mako states, “in a time of severe operational stress across our entire industry due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, being granted this additional concession demonstrates Mako’s commitment to Nicaragua for many years to come.  Our first objective is to use the remaining financial resources we currently have to finish construction of San Albino and to continue a targeted exploration campaign at Las Conchitas to the south.  However, once cash flow from the mine begins, we aim to aggressively explore our now 188 square kilometer land package.”

La Segoviana History

The area covering the La Segoviana concession has a long history of mining with many workings dating back to the pre-Columbian and Spanish colonial times.  Historical mining and production occurred in this area in the mid 1800’s to early 1900’s.  Some of the veins outcropping on the concession were developed by artisanal miners (mostly underground), however there is no evidence of large-scale mining activities or underground workings. 

During preliminary due diligence of the La Segoviana concession, the Company's geologists outlined 16 prospects clustered around four historical workings (Mina San Cristobal, Los Encinos, Mina America and Mina Plata).

The Company intends to immediately dispatch an exploration crew to La Segoviana, to carry out both a reconnaissance examination of this newly acquired exploration area and to conduct a preliminary sampling of mineral prospects in order to define areas suitable for further exploration.

On behalf of the Board,

Akiba Leisman
Chief Executive Officer
