Mako Mining Corp. announced that it has received approval to begin processing material from Las Conchitas, located immediately to the south of the company's San Albino gold mine which is currently in commercial production. Material extracted from Las Conchitas will be processed at the Company's San Albino plant.

The approval allows for the extraction from six areas of interest (San Pablo, Mina Francisco, El Limon, Mango, Bayacun and Las Dolores). The intent of this approval will allow the Company to confirm metallurgical test results at a commercial scale while awaiting for full mining permits by the end of this year. Diluted vein material from Las Conchitas is expected to be delivered to the plant in July.
