Insights

This C$70.5 million bought deal financing represents a strategic capital raise for Skeena Resources, structured with sophisticated optionality that could increase proceeds to C$78 million. The deal's structure reveals several key insights:

The flow-through share mechanism at C$17.93 per share represents a 22% premium to the base offering price of C$14.70, indicating strong demand from tax-sensitive Canadian investors. Flow-through shares allow investors to claim exploration expenses as tax deductions, making them particularly attractive in the current high-tax environment.

The involvement of BMO Capital Markets as lead underwriter is significant, as tier-one investment banks typically only lead deals they're confident will succeed. The bought deal structure, where underwriters assume the full risk of placement, demonstrates strong institutional confidence in Skeena's fundamentals.

The dual-listing approach on both TSX and NYSE provides access to a broader investor base and enhanced liquidity. The international offering structure, including U.S. registration, suggests a strategic move to diversify the shareholder base and increase market visibility.

While the financing will result in approximately 4.2% dilution (excluding options), the premium pricing and strong institutional backing indicate the market views this capital raise positively. The timing aligns with the broader precious metals sector momentum, potentially positioning Skeena to accelerate its development plans during favorable market conditions.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 21, 2025 / Skeena Resources Limited (TSX:SKE)(NYSE:SKE) ("Skeena Gold & Silver", "Skeena" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed a final prospectus supplement and entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with a syndicate of underwriters led by BMO Capital Markets (collectively, the "Underwriters") in respect of its previously announced bought deal offering of 4,800,000 common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares"), at a price of C$14.70 per Common Share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$70.5 million (the "Offering").
