Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Mako Mining Corp. reports that on March 23, 2026 it completed the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of Mt. Hamilton LLC, owner of the Mt. Hamilton gold project in Nevada, through its subsidiary Mako US Corp., from Sailfish Royalty Corp.

The US$40 million purchase price will be paid via a gold stream under an amended and restated gold purchase agreement. For the first 60 months, Sailfish will buy about 341.7 troy ounces of gold per month at 20% of the London Bullion Market Association PM Fix price, with a floor of US$2,700 and a cap of US$3,700 per ounce. For the following 72 months, Sailfish will buy about 100 troy ounces per month at 20% of the same benchmark price.

The stream is secured by first-ranking security interests over Mako’s current and future assets tied to the Mt. Hamilton project. Because both Mako and Sailfish are controlled by Wexford Capital LP, the deal is a related party transaction under MI 61-101, but Mako relied on exemptions from formal valuation and minority approval as the fair market value is below 25% of its market capitalization.

Insights

Mako adds a Nevada project via a US$40M related-party gold stream.

Mako Mining has acquired the Mt. Hamilton project in Nevada from Sailfish Royalty using a US$40 million gold stream instead of cash. The structure commits future gold production at discounted pricing in exchange for immediate ownership of the project.

The stream terms are front-loaded: about 341.7 ounces per month for 60 months with a floor price of US$2,700 and cap of US$3,700, then 100 ounces per month for 72 months at 20% of the benchmark price. First-ranking security over project-linked assets strengthens Sailfish’s position if delivery issues arise.

Because both parties are controlled by Wexford Capital, the transaction is a related party deal under MI 61-101. Mako relied on exemptions since the fair market value is below 25% of its market capitalization. Investors may focus on future disclosures around Mt. Hamilton’s development, production profile, and the stream’s impact on long-term cash flows.

Material Change Report regulatory
"Form 51-102F3 Material Change Report Section 7.1 of National Instrument 51-102"
A material change report is a public notice that a company must file and share whenever new information or an event is significant enough to likely influence an investor’s decision. Think of it like an urgent update board that tells shareholders about big shifts—such as major deals, leadership changes, sudden losses, or legal issues—so investors can reassess risk and value with the same facts everyone else has.
gold stream financial
"Mako will satisfy the US$40 million purchase price for the Acquisition through the grant to Sailfish of the following steam as consideration"
A gold stream is a contract where an investor or firm pays cash up front to a mining company in exchange for the right to buy a portion of that mine’s future gold at a set, usually below-market, price or to receive a fixed share of production. It matters to investors because it provides miners with immediate funding without issuing traditional debt or equity, while the streamer gains long-term exposure to gold at a predictable cost — a trade-off between lower purchase price and limited upside if gold prices rise sharply.

Multilateral Instrument 61-101 is a securities regulation that sets rules for certain corporate deals—like mergers, asset sales, or related-party transactions—to protect minority shareholders by requiring extra disclosure, independent valuation and, in many cases, formal shareholder approval. Think of it as an impartial referee and checklist that forces companies to show the full playbook and get a vote or an independent price opinion, so investors can judge whether a proposed deal is fair and avoid being overridden by insiders.

Item 5 Full Description of Material Change

5.1 Full Description of Material Change

On March 23, 2026, further to obtaining the approval of the shareholders of Mako on March 3, 2026, Mako completed the Acquisition of the Mt. Hamilton Project from Sailfish. The Acquisition was completed pursuant to the terms of an amended and restated purchase and sale agreement dated February 14, 2026, among Mako, Mako US Corp. and Sailfish, and an amended and restated gold purchase agreement dated February 14, 2026 (the "A&R Gold Purchase Agreement") between Mako and Sailfish (collectively, the "Transaction Agreements").

Pursuant to the terms of the A&R Gold Purchase Agreement, Mako will satisfy the US$40 million purchase price for the Acquisition through the grant to Sailfish of the following steam as consideration:

 during the initial 60 months of the stream, Sailfish will purchase from Mako approximately 341.7 troy ounces of gold per month at a price equal to 20% of the London Bullion Market Association PM Fix price, subject to a floor of US$2,700 per ounce and a cap of US$3,700 per ounce; and

 during the final 72 months of the stream, Sailfish will purchase from Mako approximately 100 troy ounces of gold per month at a price equal to 20% of the London Bullion Market Association PM Fix price.


Mako's obligations under the A&R Gold Purchase Agreement will be secured in favour of Sailfish by first-ranking security interests over all current and future assets of Mako and certain of its subsidiaries that hold a direct or indirect interest in the Mt. Hamilton Project.

Please refer to Mako's news release dated February 18, 2026, as well as the management information circular dated December 23, 2025 (the "Circular"), as supplemented by the circular supplement dated February 14, 2026 (the "Supplement") for further details of the Acquisition and the Transaction Agreements. The Transaction Agreements, the Circular and the Supplement are each available for review under Mako's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

Related Party Transaction

As both Mako and Sailfish are controlled by Wexford Capital LP, or private investment funds controlled by Wexford, Sailfish is considered to be a related party of Mako, and each of Mako and Sailfish are considered to be related parties of Wexford. As a result, the Acquisition constituted a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Pursuant to Section 5.5(a) and 5.7(1) of MI 61-101, Mako was exempt from securities law requirements to obtain a formal valuation and minority approval of its shareholders for the related party transaction under the requirements of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the transaction is below 25% of Mako's market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.
