Resources, LLC's Letter of Interest for up to
US$835 Million in Financing from Export-
Import Bank of the United States for the Spring
Valley Gold Project
Tortola, British Virgin Islands--(Newsfile Corp. - May 14, 2025) - Sailfish Royalty Corp. (TSXV: FISH)
(OTCQX: SROYF) (the "
Company
" or "
Sailfish
") is pleased to report that on May 13, 2025, Solidus
Resources, LLC ("
Solidus
") announced the receipt of a Letter of Interest from the Export-Import Bank of
the United States ("
EXIM
") regarding the potential financing of up to US$835 million for the Spring Valley
Gold Project ("
Spring Valley
") located in Nevada. The funding for Spring Valley is being considered
under EXIM's Make More in America initiative and its China and Transformational Exports Program.
Paolo Lostritto, CEO stated, "The Letter of Interest from the Export-Import Bank for a total of US$835
million is a strong endorsement for the Spring Valley gold project and is a further benefit of gold being
classified as a critical mineral in the March 20
th
, 2025 White House Executive order
1
. In addition, this
announcement further supports the guidance provided by the Bureau of Land management for a Record
of Decision and full construction permits by Aug of 2025
2
. Consequently, the operator expects first gold
production in 2028. Under this scenario, Sailfish shareholders are expected to be exposed to a material
improvement in cash flow as the majority of the Spring Valley gold deposit is on ground where Sailfish
has a royalty claim. These developments compare favourably to the metrics of the recent Triple Flag
Precious Metals Corp. purchase of a 1% NSR on Silicon-Merlin for US$248 million.
