Mako Mining Intersects 33.91g/t Gold over 1.7m Estimated True Width (ETW) at Las
Conchitas Central, 12.73 g/t Au over 4.2m ETW at Las Conchitas South and Multiple High
Grade Silver Intercepts up to 3,792.0 g/t Silver over 1.0m across Las Conchitas
Mako Mining Corp. (TSX-V: MKO; OTCQX: MAKOF) (“Mako” or the “Company”) has received additional
high-grade results from its recent definition and expansion drilling program at the Las Conchitas area on
its wholly owned San Albino-Murra property. The Las Conchitas area is located immediately south of the
San Albino Mine which is currently in commercial production. The geology at Las Conchitas is very similar
to San Albino consisting of gently dipping, stacked, 1 -3 meter (m) wide, high grade gold quartz veins
interpreted to be part of a larger orogenic system.
At the Las Conchitas area, which is located between the San Albino Mine and the historical El Golfo Mine
on the Company’s El Jicaro Concession, the Company has completed 718 drill holes to-date totaling
78,641m, of which 51% were drilled in 2022. Las Conchitas comprises an area of approximately 3.75 km2
and is subdivided into three primary areas: Las Conchitas North (“LC-N”), Las Conchitas Central (“LC-C”)
and Las Conchitas South (“LC -S”). The objective of the drilling at the Las Conchitas area is to test the
strike and dip extension of gold mineralizati on amenable to both open pit and underground mining
methods, and to provide sufficient information for a mineral resource estimate.
Highlights of the recent drilling at Las Conchitas:
Las Conchitas - North
o Mina Francisco (“MF”)
▪ 16.56 g/t Au and 38.8 g/t Ag over 1.80m Estimated True Width (“ETW”)
▪ 24.10 g/t Au and 44.8 g/t Ag over 0.90m (0.8m ETW)
o Crucita (“Cc”)
▪ 22.60 g/t Au and 21.4 g/t Ag over 0.70m (0.6m ETW)
Las Conchitas - Central
o Cruz Grande (“CG”)
▪ 33.91 g/t Au and 30.0 g/t Ag over 2.00m (1.7m ETW)
Las Conchitas - South
o Bayacun (“BA”)
▪ 12.73 g/t Au and 24.7 g/t Ag over 6.00m (4.2m ETW); including:
▪ 18.50 g/t Au and 32.5 g/t Ag over 3.00m (2.1m ETW)
High-grade Silver (HGS)
▪ 3,792.0 g/t Ag and 0.03 g/t Au over 1.00m*
Note: ETW is estimated true width measured from interpreted sections
* Interval represents down hole length.
Akiba Leisman, CEO of Mako states that “Las Conchitas continues to yield high grade, near surface
intercepts across LC -N, LC -C and LC -S. Additionally, we intersected a completely different style of
mineralization, containing high grade silver across all areas of Las Conchitas, with grades up to 3,792 g/t
Ag over 1.0m. We will continue to investigate the significance of these silver results, which may have a
positive impact on the economics of the mine.”
Las Conchitas – North
In 2022, the Company completed an aggressive drilling campaign within the LC -N area, resulting in the
new discoveries of the Mina Francisco and Crucita zones (see press releases dated June 1, 2022 and July
28, 2022). To date, a total of 27,295m in the 2022 drilling campaign have been completed in 202 drill holes
at the LC-N area.
Drill hole LC22-560 intersected an interval of 16.56 g/t Au and 38.8 g/t Ag over 1.80m (ETW), 22m from
the surface (see attached drill plan and table below). This intercept represents a 38m strike extension
south of the high-grade interval 20.30 g/t Au and 55.8 g/t Ag over 2.00m (1.9m ETW), 5m from surface,
intersected by drill hole LC22-558 (see press release October 24, 2022).
LC22-739 intersected multiple mineralized zones (see Table 1 below), including 24.10 g/t Au and 44.8 g/t
Ag over 0.90m (0.8m ETW), at vertical depth of 124.3m. This interval extends the Mina Francisco
mineralization 46m down dip from drill hole LC22-517 which intersected 26.50 g/t Au and 34.2 g/t Ag over
0.60m (0.5m ETW).
Drilling in the Intermediate zone intersected 22.60 g/t Au and 21.4 g/t Ag over 0.70m (0.6m ETW), in hole
LC22-919, at a vertical distance from surface of 91.8m. This interval is interpreted as the Crucita vein
which projects 103.5m up dip to surface where a historical tunnel is located.
Las Conchitas – Central
At LC-C, drill hole LC22-825 intersected a 2.00m (1.9m ETW) interval of 33.91 g/t Au and 30.0 g/t Ag. This
interval, 115m vertically from surface, confirmed an 89.0m down dip extension of a 7.20m wide mineralized
interval (6.7m ETW), of 15.36 g/t Au and 16.0 g/t Ag, 69.2m below surface , in drill hole LC22-818 (see
press release on September 08, 2022).
Las Conchitas – South
LC-S is the most advance d area in terms of drilling, where 416 drill holes, totaling 38,739m, have been
completed. This area is comprised of four principal mineralized zones. The recent drilling by the Company
focused on three of these zones: Bayacun, El Limon and Mango.
Drill hole LC22-490, designed to test the extension of the Bayacun zone, intersected a 6.00m wide interval
(4.2m ETW), grading 12.73 g/t Au and 24.7 g/t Ag, including 18.50 g/t Au and 32.5 g/t Ag over 3.00m (2.1m
ETW) at 37.5m below surface (see cross section). This mineralized interval represents a 26.8m west-
southwest strike extension of drill hole LC20-216, which graded 21.00 g/t Au and 28.3 g/t Ag over 1.20m,
(see press release on June 20, 2020).

High Grade Silver
In addition to the typical vein hosted gold/silver zones discussed above, 32 drill holes at Las Conchitas
(see Table 2 and drill plan below) intersected a completely different style of mineralization, characterized
by high grade silver and relatively no gold. This style of mineralization is typically associated with 1 -3m
wide broken/fractured zones often at similar depths below surface , with no clear association with quartz
veining or alteration. The geochemistry of these zones consists of high silver assays (see Table 2 below),
anomalous tungsten ( W >100 ppm) and elevated nickel and copper grades, associated with potassium

Drill hole LC21-419 positively tested and confirmed the typical gold/silver mineralization of the Mango zone
(LC-S). This drill hole intersected an interval of 31.00 g/t Au and 14.9 g/t Ag over 1.00m (0.8m ETW), 25m
from surface (see press release on March 17, 2022). The same drill hole intersected an interval, 123m
below surface, of 3,792 g/t Ag over 1.0m. Besides being the highest individual silver value reported at Las
Conchitas, this interval contains high copper (Cu >10,000ppm or >1%) and nickel (1,268ppm) grades. The
same type of mineralization was intersected by drill hole LC21-408, which reports 2,418.0 g/t Ag, located
approximately 122m to the south.
The same style of mineralization was intersected by several drill holes close to the surface (see Table 2
and drill plan), including drill hole LC19 -94 which intersected a 3m wide interval grading 1,214.5 g/t Ag ,
28.5m below surface.
In total, 34 drill holes intersected the same style of mineralization above an internal cutoff grade (80.0 g/t
Ag), including 14 drill holes collared at Las Conchitas North.

Sampling, Assaying, QA/QC and Data Verification
Drill core was continuously sampled from inception to termination of the entire drill hole. Sample intervals
were typically one meter with a minimum sample width of 50 cm . Drill core diameter was HQ (6.35
centimeters). Geologic and geotechnical data was captured into a digital database, core was
photographed, then one-half split of the core was collected for analysis and one -half was retained in the
core library.
Samples were kept in a secured logging and storage facility until such time that they were delivered to the
Managua facilities of Bureau Veritas and pulps were sent to the Bureau Veritas laboratory in Vancouver
for analysis. Gold was analyzed by standard fire assay fusion, 30 -gram aliquot, AAS finish. Samples
returning over 10.0 g/t gold and 100 g/t silver are analyzed utilizing standard Fire Assay -Gravimetric
method. The Company follows industry standards in its QA&QC procedures. Control samples consisting
of duplicates, standards, and bla nks were inserted into the sample stream at a ratio of 1 control sample
per every 10 samples. Analytical results of control samples confirmed reliability of the assay data. No top
cut has been applied to the reported assay results.
