A Precious Metal Rich VMS Camp | 11 |
Eskay Mining controls approximtely 85% of the local terrane considered prospective for Eskay Creek type precious metal rich VMS deposits
The SIB/Lulu prospect is located in the northern half of Eskay Mining's tenements along geologic strike from the Eskay Creek deposit. Historic drilling encountered precious metal rich VMS footwall stringer style mineralization. High-grade stratiform potential has yet to be tested.
Recent reinterpretation of 25 year old diamond drill data from TV/Jeff indicates both these propsects belong to a much larger scale VMS system in that area. Historic intercepts include assays over 1 opt Au.
Prospects in the southern region appear to include both VMS and porphyry Cu-Au systems. The TET prospect appears to host footwall stringer mineralization yielding several historic assays of over 1% Ag.

SIB/Lulu Prospect - Historic Drilling | 12 |
Past drill programs indicated that the Lulu Zone likely holds a VMS-style deposit
Highly encouraging historic drill results:
- 14.4 g/t Au and 1,060 g/t Ag over 14.3m
- 10.8 g/t Au and 766 g/t Ag over 24.8m
- 2.13 g/t Au and 4.0 g/t Ag over 25.2m
Hole EK18-160 returned the highest gold assays on the property outside of the Lulu Zone, grading 61.9 g/t over 1.0 m.

Recent review of historic data indicates presence of a wedge fault at Lulu
Strata under the wedge block has yet to be tested
There is good evidence of prospective lower mudstone below wedge fault

SIB/Lulu Prospect - New Targeting Strategy | 15 |
Stratiform Au mineralization |
Previous drilling was terminated above the wedge block, therefore the VMS potential has not fully been tested.
New strategy considers the alteration associated with and morphology of VMS systems to re-focus targeting
Three-dimensional modeling of geology has led to better understanding of local structural geology, eg., the wedge fault

TV/Jeff Emerged as a Priority 2020 Drill Target 16
TV and Jeff
Part of the ESK/KL JV
Historic diamond drill core from TV/Jeff was mischaracterized. Recent re-examination confirms that these prospects are both unequivocally VMS systems.
Both occur at the important rhyolite/mudstone stratigraphic contact. At least two significant mineralized sulfide intervals have been identified.
2020 Skytem and IP work has identified multiple shallow conductive bodies, possibly massive sulfides, in close proximity to areas of historic drilling.

TV and Jeff
Sulphide mineralization in all holes at TV is hosted by a sequence of mudstones and felsic breccia. A similar sequence of host rocks reported by Skeena Resources in recent deep holes.
This discovery confirms the presence of new Eskay Creek like massive sulphide deposits within the highly prospective Eskay graben, or geologic trough, that extends southward from the Eskay Creek deposit. Approximately 85% of this belt occurs within Eskay Mining's tenure.

Q3 Drilling Encountered VMS Mineralization 20
TV and Jeff
In Q3 2020, Eskay completed a first phase drilling campaign at TV and Jeff prospects
A total of 4,355.55 m were drilled in 20 holes at the VMS target
Nearly all drill holes encountered VMS mineralization including bedded massive sulphide, stockwork feeder and/or sub- seafloor sulphide mineralization.
Importantly, some holes encountered silver-bearing sulphide minerals such as pyrargyrite and a natural gold-silver alloy called electrum, a promising indication of potential for appreciable precious metals in some mineralized intercepts.
Pyrargyrite (red) and unknown silver mineral (gray)
Electrum

Other Prospects Confirmed as VMS | 23 |
Spearhead
Like TV/Jeff, historic work in other areas at Corey mischaracterized mineralization as non-VMS. In fact, it is clearly VMS in nature.
Hosted by mudstone at base of upper Hazelton Group felsic and rhyolitic rocks (i.e. Lower Mudstone-type mineralization)
Given the broad extent of VMS mineralization across 20 km strike southward from Eskay Creek on both the east and west limb of the Eskay anticline
Eskay Mining has the view that there is strong potential for a significant discovery of precious metal rich VMS deposits throughout the land holding.
