Commercial Production Declared at San Albino Gold Mine

TORTOLA, British Virgin Islands, July 14, 2021 /CNW/ - Sailfish Royalty Corp. (TSXV: FISH) (OTCQX: SROYF) (the "Company" or "Sailfish") is pleased to announce that Mako Mining Corp. ("Mako") has declared commercial production at its San Albino gold mine ("San Albino"), located in northern Nicaragua, effective July 1, 2021.  Sailfish holds a gold stream equivalent to a 3% NSR on San Albino (~3.5 sq. km) and a 2% NSR on the rest of the area (~134.5 sq. km) surrounding San Albino.

Highlights (from Mako's July 13, 2021 news release)

• All components of the 500 tonne per day gravity and carbon-in-leach ("CIL") processing plant have been fully operational since the beginning of May 2021.  Since May 12^th, when the processing of high-grade mineralization began, the plant has been averaging 456 tonnes per day ("tpd") at 71% availability.  Since this time, the plant has been exclusively processing high-grade diluted vein material with an average grade of 12.52 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold and recovering an average of 96.3%.
  
  
• Since May 12^th, an average of 596 tpd of diluted vein, historical dump material and other mineralized material above cutoff grade have been mined, with a strip ratio of 14.9.  The stockpile is now approximately 116,748 tonnes and is comprised of 10,354 tonnes of diluted vein material at 11.41 g/t gold and 106,394 tonnes of historical dump and other mineralized material at 2.49 g/t gold for a total of 12,327 ounces of gold.
  
  
• These levels of plant and mine throughputs are above the thresholds required by Mako to declare commercial production and after averaging these levels for 50 days, Mako has declared commercial production effective July 1, 2021.
  
  
• Looking forward, mining of the Porcelana Zone has commenced and Mako expects to begin blending the diluted vein material with historical dump material and other mineralized material above cutoff grade towards the end of the month.  The Porcelana Zone has the highest grade-thickness profile encountered at San Albino.

Cesar Gonzalez, Chief Executive Officer of Sailfish states that, "reaching commercial production at a gold mine is a major milestone.  Yesterday's announcement is even more special considering that San Albino was built and commissioned during a global pandemic and after two major hurricanes.  Sailfish has been receiving cash flow from its gold stream on San Albino since May. With commencement of mining at the Porcelana Zone, we are excited to see that cash flow grow."
