Sailfish Royalty: Spring Valley Gold Mine Approved for Production

Tortola, British Virgin Islands--(Newsfile Corp. - July 16, 2025) - Sailfish Royalty Corp. (TSXV: FISH) (OTCQX: SROYF) (the "Company" or "Sailfish") is pleased to announce that on July 15, 2025, the United States Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") approved Solidus Resources, LLC's (the "Operator") Spring Valley Gold Mine Project ("Spring Valley") located in Pershing County, Nevada. The Operator is approved to construct, operate and maintain an open-pit gold mine, three waste rock facilities, and a heap leach facility.

Spring Valley will employ a contractor workforce of approximately 130 employees during the initial two-year construction and approximately 250 full-time employees for the operations period. The total life of the project would be 21 years, including two years of construction, 11 years of mining, three additional years of ore processing, and five years of reclamation and closure activities.

Paolo Lostritto, CEO, stated, "The record of decision providing final approval for construction and eventual operations at Spring Valley is a major milestone for Sailfish as the expected cash flow from this asset should be a material step change from our current base of operations. This approval grants the Operator the ability to start construction on Spring Valley immediately with a view to generating the first gold production within the next two to three years. Sailfish has an up-to 3% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") on Spring Valley. We continue to believe that Spring Valley will need to be optimized for the current gold price environment which is substantially more than the US$1,800/oz gold used in the 2025 feasibility study. A project optimization should result in more gold being produced over the life of mine. The plan of operations approved in this final permit provides approximately 33% more throughput than what was highlighted in the 2025 feasibility study. In addition, it is important to highlight that several benchmark transactions have occurred in the royalty space over the past three months that occurred at substantial premiums to their underlying net asset value."

The Company's current royalty portfolio on Spring Valley covers 100% of the open pit as outlined in the plan of operations, with the majority of the acres included in the proposed open pit covered by a 3% NSR at prevailing gold prices. See Figure 1 below.

Sailfish holds the following Spring Valley royalty assets:
