# Untitled mining news story Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/mining-news--4eadb14b-a937-432b-b369-a64da503e87f Original source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1713748/000155837025004177/ske-20241231xex99d2.htm Publisher: research Original announcement: Unknown date Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-11-04T18:28:56.387Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-11-04T18:28:56.387Z - Company: Unavailable - Ticker: SKE - Exchange: TSX - Region: British Columbia - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver, Copper - Document categories: Other, Resource update, Metallurgy, Drill results - Extracted: 2026-11-04 18:28:56 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.20 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary This is Skeena’s 2024 year-end MD&A, so the main event is corporate and financial reporting rather than a standalone technical release. It also restates Eskay Creek resource and reserve tables, summarizes 2023 DFS metallurgy, and notes development progress, permitting, and project financing. The document includes some 2024 exploration highlights at KSP/Hoodoo in narrative form, but most of the technical figures are contextual or historical rather than newly issued assays. Reasoning: This is primarily a year-end management discussion and analysis for a development-stage gold-silver company, with substantial but secondary resource, reserve and metallurgy content plus financing and permitting updates. - Positive factor: Annual MD&A includes an updated Eskay Creek reserve/resource discussion and 2023 DFS operating updates - Positive factor: Project financing package and permitting progress support development-stage advancement - Positive factor: Metallurgical test work improved concentrate quality and reduced mass pull - Negative factor: Much of the document is a broad annual report rather than a single fresh technical release - Negative factor: Several resource and metallurgical items are historical restatements of prior studies - Negative factor: Some drill results are described narratively without full collar/table detail in this document Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source. Facts used in scoring: 36 ## Classification and evidence **NI 43-101 Compliant** Polarity: positive Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard. Why it applies: The MD&A states the technical information was reviewed by a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101 and the resource/reserve tables are presented in that reporting framework. Evidence · text > qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience. Why it applies: Paul Geddes, P.Geo., is named as the qualified person reviewing the technical information. Evidence · text > reviewed by Paul Geddes, P.Geo, the Company’s Senior Vice President of Exploration & Resource Development **Cut-off Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison. Why it applies: The resource table states both pit and underground cut-off grades. Evidence · table > Table 4: Eskay Creek consolidated pit constrained resources \(0.7 g/t AuEq cut-off grade\) and underground resources \(3.2 g/t AuEq cut-off grade\). Context: Table 4 **Cut-off Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison. Why it applies: The reserve table is explicitly headed as Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves for Eskay Creek, but the excerpt does not print a separate cut-off within the table body. Evidence · table > Table 3: Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves \(Eskay Creek\) Context: Table 3 **High Recovery** Polarity: positive Definition: Recovery at or above the exceptional band for the commodity and processing route. Why it applies: The DFS metallurgical summary says gold recovery was 83% and silver recovery 91%, which is strong for the stated flotation route. Evidence · text > Recoveries for gold were largely unchanged at 83% **High Recovery** Polarity: positive Definition: Recovery at or above the exceptional band for the commodity and processing route. Why it applies: Silver recovery is stated at 91% in the DFS metallurgical summary. Evidence · text > silver recoveries increased from 88% to 91% **Recovery Improving** Polarity: positive Definition: Recovery improved versus a like-for-like prior test program on the same domain and route. Why it applies: Silver recovery improved from 88% to 91% versus the 2022-FS, and the comparison is like-for-like in the DFS summary. Evidence · text > silver recoveries increased from 88% to 91% **Mill Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\). Why it applies: The document describes flotation plant testwork with rougher flotation and regrinding. Evidence · text > prior to rougher flotation **Heap Leach Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Processing via heap leach — lower CAPEX and OPEX, lower recovery expected. Why it applies: Not applicable; included only if route comparison is needed, but the release is flotation-based. Evidence · text > flotation plant **Refractory Ore** Polarity: negative Definition: Ore requires oxidation/pressure treatment before recovery — a processing and recovery risk. Why it applies: The document notes that some penalty elements were neutralized and discusses potentially acid-generating rock, but it does not state refractory ore for the metallurgical work; this is only a broad project context signal. Evidence · text > potentially acid generating rock \(“PAG”\) **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The MD&A states that drilling sampling and assay data are monitored through a QA-QC program designed to follow industry best practice. Evidence · text > quality assurance – quality control \(“QA-QC”\) program designed to follow industry best practice **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Story-specific tag Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The 2019 phase I program is described as infill and expansion drilling to increase drill density and confidence in the resource. Evidence · text > The goal of the 2019 Phase I program was to increase drill density **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The 2024 KSP drilling expanded known occurrences and traced new mineralization along strike for about 1,000 m. Evidence · text > This initial phase of widely spaced exploratory drilling has traced the new mineralization along a strike length of approximately 1,000 meters **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Story-specific tag Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: Several drill intercepts are given as downhole lengths in narrative form without true width or orientation, so apparent width may overstate thickness. Evidence · text > 381.47 metres averaging 0.71 gpt Au **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Story-specific tag Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The KSP and Hoodoo work is framed by proximity to known deposits and regional prospectivity within the Golden Triangle. Evidence · text > very high prospectivity for alkalic porphyry deposits **Single Domain Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Testing limited to one composite or domain — representativeness not established. Why it applies: only one composite was tested ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 36.

Grade: 82 - Conc. Grade Unit: g/t - Mass Pull: 3.9 % #### Reagents - Reagent Notes: The new testwork program evaluated a range of primary grinds and determined that 40 microns was optimal prior to rougher flotation. Following rougher flotation, regrinding rougher concentrate to approximately 10 µm was determined to provide the best flotation results. #### Review - Needs Review: No - Historical: No Reasoning: Gold flotation testwork for Eskay Creek supports a simplified flowsheet and higher-grade concentrate with lower mass pull. - Positive factor: Detailed metallurgical testing was completed for the DFS - Positive factor: Concentrate grade improved versus the prior feasibility study - Positive factor: Mass yield to concentrate fell to 3.9% - Negative factor: This is a restated programme summary within an MD&A, not a standalone test release - Negative factor: Recovery is only described as largely unchanged and slightly conservative #### Tags used in scoring **Mill Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\). Why it applies: processing\_route matches the flotation signal ### flotation [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/mining-news--4eadb14b-a937-432b-b369-a64da503e87f#fact-metallurgical-facts-29) Eskay Creek · silver #### Identity - Project: Eskay Creek - Commodity: silver - Region: canada\_bc - Reported Region: British Columbia - Ticker: SKE #### Test Work - Program Status: detailed - Test Type: flotation - Processing Route: flotation - Sample: Eskay Creek composite samples representing 15-35% Mudstone with the balance as Rhyolite - Grind P80: 40 µm #### Recovery - Recovery: 91 % - Recovery Basis: actual\_test - Conc.
