Mako Mining Corp. 6-K filed 2026-09-10

Mako Mining Corp., a Vancouver-based gold company listed on Nasdaq as MAKO and on the TSX-V as MKO, filed a Form 6-K with the SEC on 2026-09-10. A 6-K is the report a foreign private issuer files to furnish material information; Mako indicates on the cover that it files annual reports under Form 40-F. The single exhibit, 99.1, is a press release announcing that Mako has signed a mineral agreement with the Cooperative Republic of Guyana and the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission covering the Eagle Mountain Gold Project. The substance for an analyst is the stability framework. The agreement, made under Guyana's Mining Act, covers Mako and its 100%-owned subsidiary Stronghold Guyana Inc., and fixes legal, fiscal and operating conditions for mining licences, prospecting licences and authorizations for 10 years, subject to specific environmental provisions. After that initial term the parties may negotiate modifications in good faith or renew on the same terms. The filing states that royalty, tax, protection, government undertaking and training and local-content terms are consistent with current standard terms established in prior mineral agreements in Guyana, but the specific royalty and tax rates are not in the filing. The agreement also carries spending commitments whose timing is defined but whose amounts are not disclosed here. Annual funding for environmental, community development and social programs begins no later than 24 months from the grant of the mining licence or 12 months from the start of production, whichever comes first, and Mako will make an annual contribution to the Ministry of Natural Resources' Training Centre. The dollar value of either commitment is not in the filing. Permitting remains the open item. Mako submitted the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment to the Guyana Environmental Protection Agency in March 2026, the public comment period was completed in June 2026, and the company anticipates filing the final ESIA during the fourth quarter of 2026, with a permitting decision from the agency thereafter. Eagle Mountain is described as PEA-stage and 100% held, alongside the San Albino mine in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua, the Moss Mine in Arizona and the Mt. Hamilton Project in Nevada. President Steve Parsons frames the signing as advancing and de-risking the project. No resource figures, capital cost estimates or financial statements appear in this excerpt.
