Eskay Expands High-Grade Vein-Hosted Gold-Silver Mineralization at its 100% Controlled and Consolidated Eskay Project in the Golden Triangle

ESK · Price

Executive Summary

  • Eskay Mining released initial assay results from its 2025 prospecting and sampling program at the 100%‑owned Consolidated Eskay Project, revealing multiple high‑grade gold–silver veins across a ~2 km strike length.
  • Highlight assays include 246 g/t Au (22.8 g/t Ag), 150 g/t Au (76 g/t Ag), and a 21.8 g/t Au channel sample over 1 m, indicating a potentially large, high‑grade vein system comparable to other Golden Triangle discoveries.
  • The company plans continued surface sampling, channel work, high‑resolution satellite imaging, and hyperspectral analysis to advance targets toward drill‑ready status.

Key Details

  • Assay Summary (298 rock samples): 10 samples >20 g/t Au, 20 samples >10 g/t Au, 37 samples >5 g/t Au, 68 samples >1 g/t Au.
  • Top Spot Rock Chip Results:
  • 246 g/t Au, 22.8 g/t Ag, 0.25% Cu (TM zone)
  • 150 g/t Au, 76 g/t Ag, 1.57% Cu (TM zone)
  • 86.2 g/t Au, 180 g/t Ag, 2.63% Cu (TM zone)
  • 71.4 g/t Au, 15.8 g/t Ag, 0.66% Cu (Vermillion)
  • 33.7 g/t Au, 257 g/t Ag, 2.7% Cu (Vermillion)
  • 28.8 g/t Au, 363 g/t Ag, 0.49% Cu (Vermillion)
  • Channel Sampling: 41.77 m total; notable result – Channel V1 (Vermillion) assayed 21.8 g/t Au, 19.9 g/t Ag, 0.69% Cu over 1 m. Other channels returned modest grades (0.07–1.02 g/t Au).
  • Zone Coverage: Sampling conducted in Vermillion, TM, Red Lightning, and Big Red zones; vein systems extend >2 km strike with visible gold in quartz‑sulphide veins.
  • Geological Context: Veins associated with a biotite‑hornblende quartz monzonite intrusion (Eocene) within Jurassic Hazelton Group metavolcanics; mineralization shows RIRGS characteristics and includes Cu, Ag, Au, Bismuth, occasional W.
  • Big Red Zone Findings: 61 rock samples show low Au‑Ag but elevated Cu‑Mo‑W; MPIx values suggest proximity to porphyry‑type mineralization. Representative assays: 0.67% Cu & 5.3 ppm Mo; 0.31% Cu & 521 ppm Mo.
  • Exploration Program (2025): 298 rock samples, 29 channel samples received; additional sampling ongoing in Vermillion, TM, and Big Red zones. Worldview‑3 satellite imagery collected; hyperspectral imaging and orthophotos to support target definition across the 200 km² project area.
  • Qualified Person: Dr. Quinton Hennigh, P.Geo., Director & Technical Advisor (NI 43‑101 qualified).

Notable Quotes

“With these initial assays, we can now see that there is a wide distribution of veins… across an area at least 2 km wide… defining a new high‑grade gold‑silver vein system akin to those seen at Goliath Resources and Juggernaut Resources.” – Quinton Hennigh, Director & Technical Advisor.
