We are especially excited with the announcement of a gold discovery at Las Conchitas North, only 750 m from the producing San Albino gold mine. In addition to the cash flow currently being generated from the gold stream on the San Albino gold mine, we look forward to future production and cash flow from our 2% NSR on Las Conchitas. We are also pleased to report that we have declared our fourth consecutive quarterly dividend of US$0.0125 per share, which will be payable on July 15, 2022 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 30, 2022."

Highlights (from Mako's June 1, 2022 news release)

Initial drilling in 2018 targeted a mineralized structure exposed in the historic San Pablo working where seven drill holes, totaling 260.30 m were drilled. No additional drilling had been completed in the area until this year, which has resulted in the discovery of two veins, the Mina Francisco and the Tirado vein.

Highlights of the recent drilling:

• Mina Francisco
• 51.80 g/t Au and 29.8 g/t Ag over 0.90 m (ETW)
• San Pablo
• 27.60 g/t of Au and 17.1 g/t of Ag over 0.50 m (ETW)
• Tirado
• 39.30 g/t Au and 49.0 g/t Ag over 0.50m (0.4 m ETW)
• Tirado
• 10.97 g/t Au and 23.2 g/t Ag over 3.50 m (3.30 m ETW)

* ETWs are estimated true width measured from interpreted sections.

To date, a total of 4,670 m in the 2022 drilling campaign have been completed in 35 drill holes at Las Conchitas North resulting in the discovery of the Mina Francisco and Tirado veins as well as further delineation of the San Pablo vein. The three mineralized structures are located at the northern portion of the Las Conchitas area in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua which is interpreted to be a new emerging orogenic gold camp with over 28 kilometers of relatively unexplored strike length.
