Akiba Leisman, President and CEO of Mako Mining (TSX.V:MKO – OTCQX:MAKOF), joins me to review the news release today, on September 30th, announcing that the Company has entered into of a binding term sheet with Sailfish Royalty Corp. to acquire the Mt. Hamilton Gold-Silver Project located in White Pine County, Nevada, USA, through the acquisition of 100% of Mt. Hamilton LLC, the direct owner of the Mt. Hamilton Project, through a series of transactions. Sailfish will acquire MH LLC on an arm's length basis from Mt. Hamilton Holdings LLC, and subsequently transfer the interests to Mako in consideration for a corporate gold stream, and a 2% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on the Mt. Hamilton Project from Mako. Neither Mako nor Sailfish will issue any equity to complete these transactions.
The Mt. Hamilton Project has all major state and federal permits to allow construction of an open pit, heap leach gold-silver project, and has a current mineral resource estimate with an effective date of September 23, 2025 (the "Mt. Hamilton MRE") that was prepared by James N. Gray, P.Geo., of Advantage Geoservices Ltd., out of Vancouver, British Columbia.
Additionally, we discussed the 2nd layer of mineralization and value proposition of the Mt Hamilton Project, because it also hosts a tungsten/copper/molybdenum target, located below and independent of the gold and silver Mt. Hamilton MRE. This tungsten target has been defined by over 100,000 ft of historical exploration drilling. In a report by the Department of the Interior, dated August 25, 2025, tungsten (W) was named as one of the top 10 critical metals listed by their estimated probability-weighted impact of supply disruptions on the U.S. economy. There is the potential to seek government funds allocated for the development of critical minerals for this portion of the deposit down the road as another potential opportunity.
We also unpack the anticipated mining to begin in Q4 at the Moss Mine, and what to anticipate for the several months of ramp up of increased production. Additionally, we delve into the next key steps for permitting and development work at the Eagle Mountain Gold Project in Guyana; set to be in construction in late 2026 and production by H2 of 2027. This is a longer-format interview where we get into many nuances of operations and coming catalysts in all 4 jurisdictions.
