Tortola, British Virgin Islands--(Newsfile Corp. - August 3, 2023) - Sailfish Royalty Corp. (TSXV: FISH) (OTCQX: SROYF) (the "Company" or "Sailfish") is pleased to report that Mako Mining Corp. ("Mako") has announced the completion of a 230 drill hole, 9,000-meter ("m") infill reverse circulation ("RC") drill campaign at the Las Conchitas area of its wholly-owned San Albino-Murra property located in northern Nicaragua.

- 21.47 g/t Au and 17.1 g/t Ag over 2.0 m (ETW)
As a reminder to shareholders, Sailfish currently holds a gold stream equivalent to a 3% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") on San Albino and a 2% NSR on the Las Conchitas area which consists of Las Conchitas North, Las Conchitas Central and Las Conchitas South (collectively, "Las Conchitas").
Paolo Lostritto, Chief Executive Officer of Sailfish states that, "This recent drilling at Las Conchitas reinforces the near mine discovery potential on ground where Sailfish shareholders benefit from a stream/royalty agreement. This is exciting news as Sailfish holds a 2% NSR on the entire Las Conchitas area. We look forward to a maiden resource at Las Conchitas and cash flow from this region as Mako intends to start mining and processing mineralized material as a part of a metallurgical program later this quarter. Cash flow coming from the stream/royalties is expected to buttress our industry leading dividend of US$0.05/share and to aggressively purchase our shares through the Company's 3.5 million share normal course issuer bid as we believe our current share price is well below fair value given the recent news at Spring Valley."
