Mako Mining Corp. (TSX-V: MKO) (OTCQX: MAKOF) recently intersected high concentrations of gold mineralization during its latest expansion drilling program in Nicaragua.
On Tuesday, the Vancouver gold company announced finding 33.91 g/t Au over 1.7 metres.
The drilling program also yielded additional high-grade gold results and 3,792 g/t of silver over 1 metre at the Las Conchitas area of the company’s San Albino-Murra property.
We started building the highest-grade open-pit mine in the world during a pandemic. Get to know the people who made it happen, the history of the San Albino Mine, and how mining impacts local communities in this 4-part video series.

The Las Conchitas area of the company’s wholly-owned property is located directly south of the San Albino Mine, currently in the midst of commercial production. Mako says that San Albino is one of the highest-grade open-pit gold mine’s on earth.
Additional gold and silver intercepts from the recent drilling program include the following:
- 16.56 g/t Au and 38.8 g/t Ag over 1.80 metres Estimated True Width (ETW)
- 24.10 g/t Au and 44.8 g/t Ag over 0.90 metres (0.8m ETW)
- 22.60 g/t Au and 21.4 g/t Ag over 0.70 metres (0.6m ETW)
- 33.91 g/t Au and 30.0 g/t Ag over 2.00 metres (1.7m ETW)
- 12.73 g/t Au and 24.7 g/t Ag over 6.00 metres (4.2m ETW)
“Las Conchitas continues to yield high-grade, near-surface intercepts. 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,” said Akiba Leisman, CEO of Mako Mining.
“We will continue to investigate the significance of these silver results, which may have a positive impact on the economics of the mine.”
