Paolo Lostritto, Chief Executive Officer of Sailfish states that, "During Q2 2023, Sailfish received and sold 628 ounces of gold from the gold stream equivalent to a 3% NSR on the San Albino gold mine. In addition to the gold ounces received from the gold stream, the Company received and sold 68,240 ounces of silver from its loan receivable for proceeds of approximately $1.6M which represented 57% of the Company's cash inflow for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Based on the Silver Purchase Agreement secured during the first half of the year, we expect increased leverage to the price of silver during the second half of 2023.
