Skeena Resources Limited (SKE) is a junior Canadian mining exploration company dedicated to the discovery and development of prospective base and precious metal properties in the Golden Triangle region of northern British Columbia, Canada. The company focuses primarily on the evaluation and development of the Eskay Creek and Snip projects, both of which are past-producing mines.
Skeena's flagship project, Eskay Creek, acquired from Barrick Gold, is undergoing extensive exploration and development activities. The company recently released a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for Eskay Creek in November 2023, which highlights an after-tax NPV5% of C$2.0 billion, 43% IRR, and a 1.2-year payback at gold and silver prices of US$1,800/oz and US$23/oz, respectively. The DFS indicates robust project economics, supporting the potential for Eskay Creek to become a Tier 1 gold mining operation.
Besides Eskay Creek, Skeena is also advancing the Snip Project, another past-producing gold mine. The company is committed to sustainable development, maintaining strong relationships with First Nations, neighboring communities, and other stakeholders. Skeena prioritizes environmental, health, safety, and social responsibilities in all its operations.
Recently, Skeena successfully closed a C$81 million financing package with Franco-Nevada Corporation, which includes the sale of a 1.0% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty on Eskay Creek and a C$25 million unsecured convertible debenture. This strategic financing aims to further advance the Eskay Creek project towards production.
Furthermore, Skeena continues to make significant strides in its exploration programs. The 2023 drilling results at Eskay Creek revealed high-grade gold-silver mineralization, which, although not expected to materially affect existing open-pit resources and reserves, underscores the potential for further discoveries. The company has also outlined ambitious plans for 2024, including a seismic survey and additional exploratory drilling to refine the understanding of the Eskay Creek rift model.
Skeena Resources' commitment to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles is evident in its 2023 report, showcasing significant contributions across economic, environmental, social, and governance areas. The company’s proactive approach in these areas is designed to create value for shareholders, stakeholders, and First Nation partners.
