Skeena Gold & Silver Secures the BC Mines Act Permit Following the Receipt of the Environmental Assessment Certificate for Eskay Creek
Skeena Resources Limited (TSX: SKE) (NYSE: SKE) is pleased to announce the receipt of its British Columbia Mines Act Permit for the Company’s 100%-owned Eskay Creek Gold-Silver Project located in Northwestern B.C., Canada. The receipt of the MA builds upon B.C.’s first Section 7 Declaration Act agreement, entered into jointly with the Tahltan Central Government.
The B.C. Major Mines Act permit forms part of a joint permitting application under the British Columbia Mines Act and Environmental Management Act. The application under the Environmental Management Act is currently under review, and, upon issuance, these permits will constitute the final key regulatory approvals required for the commercial development and operation of Eskay Creek. The Company anticipates receipt of the final EMA permit in February of this year, enabling initial production at Eskay Creek in the second quarter of 2027.
