Happy New Year to all Mako shareholders.

We end 2021 with our plant at >500tpd.

The goals for 2022 are:

Resource at Las Conchitas so we can begin mining LC in late Q4.

DISCOVERY at one or more of our regional targets.

Rapid debt repayment.

Exciting year ahead! $mko.v

You can see we’re into the graphitic part of the deposit, ~marking the transition between oxide and fresh rock.

We haven’t seen ANY diminution to recoveries. Biggest challenge is this material turns into little balls that gum up our stock tank, but easily manageable. Image

Mako Mining Announces Drilling Permits for La Segoviana and Corporate Update makominingcorp.com/news/index.php… $mko.v

We received drilling permits at La Segoviana (a few weeks ahead of schedule).

We also began the process of acquiring the most prospective areas of surface rights. I’ve mentioned this publicly before — I think Segoviana will be a mine w/in 3 years.

Happy New Year to all Mako shareholders.

We end 2020 with our mine ready to be turned on in the New Year.

The goals for 2021 are:

Commercial Production in Q2

Resource delineation drilling at Las Conchitas

1st ever regional drilling program

Exciting year ahead! Image $mko.v

Mining back in action!

Still only mined 2.5 benches of HG as we focus on stripping at about 20% of full capacity (to save $ pre-prod).

First 2 benches > 0.5 Oz/t!

Last 1/2 bench was caught in the great fire assay backlog of 2020. Should get those back next week. Image

$mko.v 1/8 OK Sharkheads.

Today’s thread is about sampling and dilution (key risk #3 of my pinned tweet). I have real time mining pictures below.

Punchline is tolerances are tight and dilution has been ~10%.

But data coming from just 1 or 2 benches ain’t worth schist. $mko.v 2/8 Recap of what we’re doing.

6-8m blast holes, taking 1-1.5m samples along the way. With BH data, open up 3m half mining benches. Geologist mark contact with FW/HW with blue paint. With excavator, remove the waste up to paint. Then remove “ore” to the FW contact.

$mko.v Happy New Year to all Mako shareholders.

We end 2019 with our infill drilling at San Albino complete, and the plant approximately 40% done.

The crusher has been delivered (top right of the photo).

Mill has been purchased and both mill & lab equip are en route Image $mko.v you can see that construction and civil works are rapidly advancing at our San Albino mine. This picture from yesterday. Image

1/ Crib Notes for those that are new to Mako Mining

3 projects:
1. Building 500tpd mine; one of the highest grade open-pit mines globally
2. Near mine exploration — goal of doubling production by 2022
3. Regional exploration to prove that this is an orogenic camp 2/ Key Risks

1. We’re in Nicaragua (lovely and SAFE country, BTW)
2. Developing mine on basis of PEA
3. Shallow dipping structures may lead to mining dilution
4. Grade variability
