Akiba Leisman, President and CEO of Mako Mining (TSX.V:MKO – OTCQX:MAKOF), joins me to unpack a few recent news releases on the key takeaways from the Q2 2024 operations at the San Albino Mine in Nicaragua, a recap of recent exploration results from Las Conchitas, the approval of their Environmental  Impact Assessment in Nicaragua, and the completion of the acquisition of Goldsource Mines in Guyana.

We start off with the key takeaways from the Q2 operations update, with another record quarter from its San Albino Gold Mine, which is the 3rd year of production results since declaring commercial production on July 1st, 2021.

 Q2 2024 Operational Highlights:

• Record 59,549 tonnes mined containing 14,855 ounces of gold ("oz Au") at an average grade of 7.76 grams per tonne gold ("g/t Au") and 20,970 ounces of silver ("oz Ag") of 10.95 grams per tonne silver ("g/t Ag")

Then we get an update on this year’s ongoing exploration strategy at San Albino, Las Conchitas, and other regional targets.  We noted a recent new release from July 10th highlighting the recent exploration results from the ongoing reverse circulation (RC) expansion drill program, from 3 of the 4 principal zones within the southern portion of Las Conchitas: El Limon, Mango and Las Dolores.

Las Dolores Highlights:

• 37.80 g/t Au and 50.0 g/t Ag over 3.0m - (2.8m Estimated True Width -ETW)

El Limon and Mango Highlights:

• 11.25 g/t Au and 18.3 g/t Ag over 3.0m - (3.0m ETW)

We wrap up reviewing that the Las Conchitas EIA was recently approved and certified, although the Company continued to operate as usual with the bulk sample permit obtained last year. Exploration has ramped up at site, as noted by these first results, but there will be many more expansion drill results that get released to the market as the assays come in over the next 2 months.  Cash is building on the balance sheet as the company prepare to begin advancing the newly acquired Eagle Mountain Gold Project in Guyana.
