Skeena Resources Limited reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, keeping its Eskay Creek project on track to achieve initial production and cash flow in the second quarter of 2027.

The past-producing asset, located in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, is fully permitted and under construction. Skeena plans construction activities for the remainder of 2026, including the completion and energization of key infrastructure and the commencement of ore mining and ore stockpiling.

The advancement of the development pipeline occurs against a backdrop of rising precious metals prices, with gold trading at US$4,350.30 per ounce, up 7.37% over the 30-day period ended August 13, 2026. Once operational, Eskay Creek is projected to operate as an open-pit precious metals mine supported by substantial silver by-product output.
