Gold Equivalent (AuEq) calculated via the formula: Au (g/t) + [Ag (g/t) / 75]. Reported core lengths represent 80-100% of true widths and are supported by well-defined mineralization geometries derived from historical drilling. Grade capping of individual assays has not been applied to the Au and Ag assays informing the length weighted AuEq composites. Processing recoveries have not been applied to the AuEq calculation and are disclosed at 100%. Samples below detection limit are nulled to a value of zero.

2020 Drilling Demonstrates Continuity in 21B Zone

The 2020 Phase I infill program at Eskay Creek continues to demonstrate the excellent continuity of the current resource model which is derived largely from historical drilling. Phase I infill drilling within the 21B and 21C Zones, which are situated in the deeper portions and later phases of the planned open-pit mining sequence, have correlated extremely well with the historical drilling with respect to grades, widths and spatial distribution.

Skeena Intersects 14.73 g/t AuEq over 36.85 m at Eskay Creek

Vancouver, BC (January 14, 2020) Skeena Resources Limited (TSX.V: SKE, OTCQX: SKREF) (“Skeena” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce additional gold-silver drill results from the 2019 Phase I surface drilling program at the Eskay Creek Project (“Eskay Creek”) located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. Four surface drill rigs were utilized for the 2019 Phase I program in the 21A, 21E and HW Zones to infill and upgrade areas of inferred resources to the indicated classification. Drill hole results reported in this release are from the 21A, 21E and HW Zones. Reference images are presented at the end of this release as well as on the Company’s website.

Phase I Eskay Creek Drilling Highlights:

10.14 g/t Au, 345 g/t Ag (14.73 g/t AuEq) over 36.85 m 21A (SK-19-170)
2.90 g/t Au, 278 g/t Ag (6.60 g/t AuEq) over 57.90 m 21A (SK-19-153)
4.14 g/t Au, 151 g/t Ag (6.15 g/t AuEq) over 61.50 m 21A (SK-19-151)
7.01 g/t Au, 114 g/t Ag (8.53 g/t AuEq) over 37.89 m 21A (SK-19-160)
4.09 g/t Au, 52 g/t Ag (4.78 g/t AuEq) over 59.00 m 21A (SK-19-148)
6.34 g/t Au, 42 g/t Ag (6.91 g/t AuEq) over 34.00 m 21A (SK-19-167)
8.33 g/t Au, 51 g/t Ag (9.02 g/t AuEq) over 18.45 m 21A (SK-19-164)

21A Zone Continues to Demonstrate Increased Grades and Widths

2019 Phase I drilling within the 21A Zone continues to return both higher Au-Ag grades and thicknesses than expected. The newest infill hole SK-19-170 intersected 10.14 g/t Au, 345 g/t Ag (14.73 g/t AuEq) over 36.85 m (refer to attached section). This drill hole was originally designed to add confidence to the inferred resources; however, the intersection has established both higher grades and greater widths than the surrounding historical drill holes. For comparison, the nearest historical drill hole CA89-078 only intersected 7.16 g/t AuEq over 16.71 m.

It is also important to note that this high-grade mineralization occurs not only in the mudstone but also stratigraphically below the mudstone within intensely sheared, brecciated and hydrothermally altered rhyolites. This potentially indicates the uppermost expression of a previously unidentified synvolcanic feeder structure, which could lead to additional exploration targets.

“The ongoing 2019 Phase I drilling program has been and continues to be very successful in that the Company’s drill intercepts continue to predictably validate the geometries and grades defined by the historical drilling”, comments Paul Geddes, the Company’s Vice President of Exploration and Resource Development. “We are also quite encouraged by the improved mineralization widths and gold-silver grades as we infill and upgrade the inferred resources. The 2020 mandate to organically grow the current resource base at Eskay Creek will involve the allocation of approximately 30% of the current drill budget to exploratory step out drilling”.

Skeena Delivers Robust Project Economics for Eskay Creek: After-Tax NPV5% of C$638M, 51% IRR and 1.2 Year Payback

Vancouver, BC (November 07, 2019) Skeena Resources Limited (TSX.V: SKE, OTCQX: SKREF) (“Skeena” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the initial Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) completed by Ausenco Engineering Canada Inc. (“Ausenco”), supported by SRK Consulting (Canada), and AGP Mining Consultants, for the Eskay Creek gold-silver project (“Eskay Creek” or the “Project”) located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.
Eskay Creek 2019 PEA Highlights:

- High-grade open-pit averaging 3.23 g/t Au, 78 g/t Ag (4.17 g/t AuEq) (diluted)
- After-tax NPV5% of C$638M (US$491M) and 51% IRR at US$1,325/oz Au and US$16/oz Ag
- After-tax payback period of 1.2 years
- Pre-production capital expenditures (CAPEX) of C$303M (US$233M)
- After-tax NPV:CAPEX Ratio of 2.1:1
- Life of mine (“LOM”) average annual production of 236,000 oz Au, 5,812,000 oz Ag (306,000 oz AuEq)
- LOM all-in sustaining costs (AISC) of C$983/oz (US$757/oz) AuEq recovered
- LOM cash costs of C$949/oz (US$731/oz) AuEq recovered
- 6,850 tonne per day (TPD) mill and flotation plant producing saleable concentrate

Skeena’s CEO, Walter Coles commented, “Eskay Creek was a remarkable discovery that became an extraordinary underground mine in 1994 and produced until 2008. This PEA demonstrates that Eskay Creek still has a bright future ahead, revitalized as an open-pit gold and silver mine, with the additional possibility for underground mining. The Project has the potential to produce an average of 306,000 gold-equivalent ounces per year with a diluted mill feed grade of 4.17 grams per tonne gold-equivalent. Also, as a brownfield site, Eskay Creek benefits from tremendous infrastructure installed by the previous operators. Finally, by creating a gold concentrate rather than doré, we are able to keep initial capital costs very low, at US$233 million, relative to the amount of precious metals produced; this also simplifies and reduces technical risks for the Project.”

Skeena Intersects 18.13 g/t AuEq over 22.65 metres in New High-Grade Vent at Eskay Creek


Vancouver, BC (September 9, 2019) Skeena Resources Limited (TSX.V: SKE, OTCQX: SKREF) (“Skeena” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the first gold-silver drill results from the recently initiated Phase I surface drilling program at the Eskay Creek Project (“Eskay Creek”) located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. The 2019 Phase I program is being performed with two surface drill rigs in the 21A, 21E and 22 Zones to infill and upgrade areas of inferred resources to the indicated category. Drillhole results reported in this release are from the 21A Zone. Reference images are presented at the end of this release as well as on the Company’s website.

Phase I Eskay Creek 21A Zone Drilling Highlights

SK-19-052: 16.52 G/T AU, 73 G/T AG, (17.49 G/T AUEQ) OVER 7.54 METRES
SK-19-055: 28.38 G/T AU, 1 G/T AG, (28.39 G/T AUEQ) OVER 5.83 METRES

SK-19-058: 17.93 G/T AU, 15 G/T AG, (18.13 G/T AUEQ) OVER 22.65 METRES

Gold Equivalent (AuEQ) calculated via the formula: Au (g/t) + [Ag (g/t) / 75]. Reported core lengths represent 80-100% of true widths and are supported by well-defined mineralization geometries derived from historical drilling. Grade capping of individual assays has not been applied to the Au and Ag assays informing the length weighted AuEQ composites. Processing recoveries have not been applied to the AuEQ calculation and are disclosed at 100%. Samples below detection limit were nulled to a value of zero.

New High-Grade Vent Discovered in 21A Zone

Prior to the 2019 infill drilling program, the western lobe of the 21A Zone mineralization was interpreted to be exclusively hosted in the tabular contact mudstone which ranges from 1 to 10 metres true vertical thickness. However, recently completed 2019 drillholes SK-19-057 and SK-19-058 have now discovered a previously unidentified hydrothermal vent in this location having intersected significantly larger intervals grading 17.38 g/t Au, 113 g/t Ag, (18.88 g/t AuEq) over 18.50 metres and 17.93 g/t Au, 15 g/t Ag, (18.13 g/t AuEq) over 22.65 metres respectively.

The discovery of this new high-grade vent clearly demonstrates that additional resource tonnage can be realized through infill drilling. The widely spaced drilling of inferred resources throughout the Eskay Creek deposits are defined by drill spacings in excess of 25 metres and as such provide excellent potential to discover additional vents throughout the Eskay deposits as the 2019 infill program continues. The original drillhole spacing in the western lobe of the 21A Zone was in excess of 25 metres between holes and will be infill drilled to 15 metre spacings to achieve indicated resources.

Skeena Initiates Metallurgical Optimizations and Preliminary Economic Assessment for Eskay Creek

Vancouver, BC (March 26, 2019) Skeena Resources Limited (TSX.V: SKE, OTCQX: SKREF) (“Skeena” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that metallurgical optimizations as well as a Preliminary Economic Assessment, for the Eskay Creek Project (“Eskay Creek”) have been initiated. The Company also welcomes Stacy Freudigmann, P.Eng., to the Skeena team as Project Manager for the aforementioned studies. Eskay Creek is endowed with excellent infrastructure including road access, proximity to recently commissioned 195MW run-of-river hydroelectric facilities, tailings storage capacity and historical underground development situated less than 100 metres from existing mineral resources.

Phase I Metallurgical Optimizations

Demonstrated metallurgy from the past producing Eskay Creek mine involved a 350 TPD flotation plant with average gold and silver recoveries of 80% and 92% respectively. Gravity separation of gold accounted for 10-30% of preliminary separation. Sulphide concentrates were subsequently transported via truck to either the Port of Stewart for further smelting in Japan or trucked to Kitwanga for loading onto rail cars and transported to a smelter in Quebec.

Notwithstanding the proven historical process associated with flotation, the Company will be investigating the amenability of the Eskay Creek blended mineralization to leaching.

The Phase I metallurgical testing is proceeding on schedule with results anticipated in Q2 2019.

Ausenco Engineering Canada Inc. (“Ausenco”) has been engaged to perform a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for Eskay Creek. The PEA will contemplate an open pit mining scenario with a small up-front contribution of underground resources. Dependent on the results of the metallurgical optimizations, subsequent trade-off analyses will contemplate either the leaching or flotation processes. The Eskay Creek PEA is scheduled for completion in Q3 2019.

Skeena Options Snip and Receives Investment from Hochschild


Vancouver, BC (September 19, 2018) Skeena Resources Limited (TSX.V: SKE, OTCQX: SKREF) (“Skeena†or the “Company†) will issue 7,519,331 flow-through common shares of the Company at a price of C$0.90 per share, which will generate aggregate net proceeds to Skeena of C$6,767,398 (the “Offering†). The Offering price represents a premium of 80% over Skeena’s closing share price on September 19, 2018. Hochschild Mining Holdings Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Hochschild Mining plc) (“Hochschild†) will acquire the shares and, after closing will own 8.3% of Skeena’s total issued and outstanding shares. In addition, Hochschild will have the right to participate in future offerings to maintain its percentage interest in Skeena.

In connection with the Offering, Skeena shall grant Hochschild an option (the “Hochschild Option†) to earn a 60% undivided interest in the Company’s Snip Gold Project (“Snip†or the “Project†) located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia by spending twice the amount Skeena has spent since it originally optioned Snip from Barrick.

Skeena’s CEO, Walter Coles Jr. commented, “We are extremely pleased to have Hochschild as a partner. We consider them one of the best underground mining companies in the world and their interest in Snip should serve as validation of the potential for the Project.â€

The Company and Hochschild have entered into a heads of agreement (the “HOA†), which sets out the terms of the Hochschild Option. Under the HOA, Hochschild shall have three years from the closing to provide notice to Skeena that it wishes to exercise its option (the “Option Notice†). Once exercised, Hochschild shall have three years (the “Option Period†) to:

incur expenditures on Snip that are no less than twice the amount of such expenditures incurred by Skeena from March 23, 2016 up until the time of exercise of the Option by Hochschild. (As of June 30 2018, Skeena had incurred C$16.9 million of expenditures at Snip);
incur no less than C$7.5 million in exploration or development expenditures on Snip in each 12-month period of the Option Period; and
provide 60% of the financial assurance required by governmental authorities for the Snip mining properties.

After completing a minimum spend of C$22,500,000, Hochschild may extend the Option Period by a further period of 12 months by making a cash payment to Skeena of C$1.0 million.

The closing of the Offering and the Hochschild Option agreement is anticipated to occur on or around September 27, 2018 (the “Closing Date†) and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. All shares issued under the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period in Canada expiring four months and one day from the Closing Date. Hochschild will be able to nominate one representative to Skeena’s board of directors so long as it holds at least 5% of the total issued and outstanding common shares of Skeena.

Skeena Announces Maiden Resource Estimate for Eskay Creek

Vancouver, BC (September 17, 2018) Skeena Resources Limited (TSX.V: SKE, OTCQX: SKREF) (“Skeena” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), for the Eskay Creek Project, which has been reviewed and validated by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. This MRE was derived from 7,583 historical surface and underground diamond drill holes totalling 651,332 metres. Drilling data from the Company’s recently initiated and ongoing Phase I metallurgical and infill drilling program is not included in this MRE. The effective date of this MRE is September 18, 2018 and a technical report will be filed on the Company’s website and SEDAR within 45 days of this disclosure. For additional Eskay Creek maps & figures please view the Company’s website.

Pit

The pit constrained Indicated resource includes 207,000 gold equivalent ounces within 1.09 million tonnes at an average gold equivalent grade of 5.9 g/t. The pit constrained Inferred resource includes 589,000 ounces within 4.26 million tonnes at an average gold equivalent grade of 4.3 g/t.

Underground Resources

The underground Indicated resource estimate includes 814,000 gold equivalent ounces within 2.51 million tonnes at an average gold equivalent grade of 10.1 g/t. The underground Inferred resource estimate includes 261,000 ounces within 0.81 million tonnes at an average gold equivalent grade of 10.0 g/t.


Walter Coles, Skeena’s President and CEO commented, “This initial resource estimate validates our thesis that there are substantial amounts of potentially economic mineralization left at Eskay Creek below the cut-off grades used by historical operators of the mine. As this resource estimate has been optimized for gold and silver, future resource estimates will also include base metal credits. In addition, we believe the property has exciting exploration upside for both precious and base metals at depth.”

Hi

This stock board has been dead for a while. Just watched a video of their 2018 presentation at the Metals Investor Forum prior to PDAC. Not sure if I was interested because of the presenter or the fact that they are reopening one or more old mines in the BC Golden Triangle. The mines that were closed 20-30 years ago were not economic then but have a lot of economic deposits at $1300/oz and now have cheap ($0.04/kwh) electric power instead of diesel power and roads instead of wilderness.
