Press Releases

Mako Mining Corp. (TSX-V: MKO; OTCQX: MAKOF) (“Mako” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with Sailfish Royalty Corp. ("Sailfish") whereby the remaining seven payments of the outstanding gold-linked loan entered into on August 27, 2021 (“Gold Loan”) will be made in physical silver.

Akiba Leisman, CEO of Mako states, “the Gold Loan was a flexible form of financing for Mako, and we are happy to reciprocate that flexibility by repaying the remaining 7 payments due to Sailfish with physical silver, which we currently mine as a byproduct at San Albino.”

The outstanding Gold Loan entitled Sailfish to receive cash compensation based on the prevailing price of gold. So far, Mako has made 17 payments out of a total of 24 monthly cash payments to Sailfish equal to the cash equivalent of 205 ounces of gold multiplied by the preceding month’s average gold price with a floor of US$1,750/oz and a ceiling of US$2,000/oz pursuant to the terms of the Gold Loan. The remaining seven payments owed to Sailfish will be based on the same formula, but will be paid in physical silver in lieu of cash.

On behalf of the Board,

Akiba Leisman
Chief Executive Officer
