• Discovery of a new precious metal rich VMS system, 31.16 gpt Au eq over 1.95m, at the C-10 prospect

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 15, 2022 / Eskay Mining Corp. (“Eskay” or the “Company”) (TSXV:ESK)(OTCQX:ESKYF)(Frankfurt:KN7) (WKN:A0YDPM) is pleased to announce all remaining assay results from its Summer, 2021 diamond drill campaign at its 100% controlled Consolidated Eskay precious metal rich volcanogenic massive sulfide (“VMS”) project, British Columbia. A total of ninety-eight holes were drilled as part of this program. In addition to new strong results from the TV and Jeff deposits, Eskay has confirmed discovery of similar precious metal rich VMS mineralization at the C-10 prospect located approximately 8km south-southeast from TV.

“We are delighted with the long list of strong assay results from our 2021 drill program,” commented Dr. Quinton Hennigh, technical advisor and director of Eskay Mining. “At TV, we see further high-grade assays including 24.69 gpt Au eq (2.96 gpt Au and 1,695 gpt Ag) over 1.99m and 29.02 gpt Au eq (1.20 gpt Au and 2,170 gpt Ag) over 0.72m within 7.39 gpt Au eq (0.77 gpt Au 516.30 gpt Ag) over 13.38m within 2.64 gpt Au eq (0.59 gpt Au and 160.26 gpt Ag) over 53.86m. Jeff also delivered high-grade including 17.83 gpt Au eq (17.56 gpt Au and 20.81 gpt Ag) over 3.88m and another interval of 5.26 gpt Au eq (4.94 gpt Au and 24.81 gpt Ag) over 4.94m within 2.26 gpt Au eq (1.91 gpt Au and 27.55 gpt Ag) over 26.42m. We are also pleased to announce discovery of high-grade VMS mineralization at C-10 with an intercept of 31.16 gpt Au eq (31.10 gpt Au and 4.97 gpt Ag) over 1.95m. With all 2021 drill data now in hand, we eagerly approach the 2022 drill season with the goal of expanding both TV and Jeff, following up on our new high-grade VMS discovery at C-10, and testing numerous new targets across our district scale land package. Drill planning is currently underway in preparation for our aggressive 35,000m program beginning in early June.”

“The 2021 exploration program has shown that TV and Jeff are components of a larger precious metal endowed VMS system,” commented Dr. John DeDecker, Eskay Mining’s VP of Exploration. “Importantly mineralization at TV and Jeff is shallow or outcropping on the surface, and remains open along strike, down-dip, and up stratigraphic section. Drilling at C10 and Vermillion shows that VMS hydrothermal activity extended well to the south of Eskay Creek, and occurred much earlier in time than previously thought. This opens up the potential for discovering an entire Au-Ag VMS district on our property.”

Highlights of most recent TV drill results and interpretation:

• 24.69 gpt Au eq (2.96 gpt Au and 1,695 gpt Ag) over 1.99m and 29.02 gpt Au eq (1.20 gpt Au and 2,170 gpt Ag) over 0.72m within 7.39 gpt Au eq (0.77 gpt Au 516.30 gpt Ag) over 13.38m within 2.64 gpt Au eq (0.59 gpt Au and 160.26 gpt Ag) over 53.86m in hole TV21-70
• 3.19 gpt Au eq (1.86 gpt Au and 103.80 gpt Ag) over 5.00m within 1.76 gpt Au eq (1.06 gpt Au and 54.24 gpt Ag) over 28.50m in hole TV21-83
• 9.22 gpt Au eq (0.86 gpt Au and 652.00 gpt Ag) over 2.00m within 3.14 gpt Au eq (0.84 gpt Au and 200.64 gpt Ag) over 9.12m in hole TV21-80
• 2.91 gpt Au eq (0.36 gpt Au and 199.40 gpt Ag) over 3.57m within 1.33 gpt Au eq (0.61 gpt Au and 55.88 gpt Ag) over 48.23m in hole TV21-64
• As of the end of the 2021 drill program, the TV deposit, including the upper and lower zones, has been drilled approximately 225m along strike from north to south and down dip to approximately 130m (Figures 1 and 2). The TV deposit remains open along strike to the north and south and down dip.
• Given that TV is hosted by the Betty Creek Formation, situated low in the prospective stratigraphy of this region, Eskay thinks there is good potential for discovery of additional precious metal rich VMS deposit in prospective stratigraphic units above TV. Potential exists down deeper in the stratigraphy as well.
• TV is notably elevated in silver with many reportable equivalent intercepts displaying predominant silver value contribution. Bonanza silver grades are seen in some intercepts at the top of the main stockwork zone.
• Mineralization at TV appears to be closely associated with domes of dacite lava the extent of which is unknown but appears expansive.
• Several SkyTEM conductive anomalies interpreted as potential sulfide deposits lie in close proximity to TV and will be drill tested during the 2022 drill season. Drilling was cut short in 2021 due to an early heavy snow event in September.
• Locally, there exist late crosscutting gabbro intrusive dikes at TV, but volumetrically, these appear to be small with no significant displacement of adjacent mineralization.
• One hole, TV21-81, collared approximately 350m northeast of TV, encountered considerable stockwork pyrite veining containing anomalous gold and silver values as well as very strong pathfinder elements including arsenic (100-1,100 ppm), antimony (20-113 ppm) and mercury (1-6 ppm) from 298-344m. Eskay’s geologic team interprets this to be VMS stockwork mineralization peripheral to a precious metal rich feeder. Hole TV21-60 was terminated in a gabbro dike and hole TV21-76 did not encounter any significant mineralized intervals.
• Now that all 2021 drill results have returned, geologic modeling of the TV system is being undertaken to plan Eskay’s 2022 diamond drilling program. The Company will employ its in-house alteration index modeling, a geochemical technique utilized by the Colorado School of Mines, to vector in on promising extensions of the TV deposit. This year, Eskay expects to drill approximately 18,000 m more diamond drill core at TV to expand the deposit along strike and down dip as well as test stratigraphy above the current deposit.

Highlights of most recent Jeff drill results and interpretation:

• 34.23 gpt Au eq (33.86 gpt Au and 28.74 gpt Ag) over 1.93m within 17.83 gpt Au eq (17.56 gpt Au and 20.81 gpt Ag) over 3.88m in hole J21-57

• As of the end of the 2021 drill program, the Jeff deposit, including the upper and lower zones, has been drilled approximately 625 m along strike from north to south and down dip to approximately 190 m (Figures 3 and 4). The Jeff deposit remains open along strike to the north and south and down dip.
• Jeff occurs lower in the Betty Creek Formation than the TV deposit. Therefore, Eskay thinks there is good potential for discovery of additional precious metal rich VMS deposit in prospective stratigraphic units above Jeff, especially at the same level at which TV occurs.
• Like TV, mineralization at Jeff appears to be closely associated by domes of dacite lava, the extent of which is unknown but appears expansive.
• Jeff locally displays bonanza gold grades, all occurring in stockwork feeder mineralization. Eskay thinks this bodes well for future discovery of gold-rich massive sulfide style mineralization in the area.
• Multiple SkyTEM conductive anomalies interpreted as potential sulfide deposits lie to the north of Jeff as well as to the south between Jeff and TV. These will be drill tested during the 2022 drill season.
• Like TV, geologic modeling of the Jeff system is being undertaken before planning Eskay’s 2022 diamond drilling program. Use of alteration index modeling will be critical to vector in on promising extensions of the Jeff deposit. In 2022, Eskay anticipates drilling approximately 5000 m more diamond drill core at Jeff and surrounding targets.

Holes in italics previously announce in Company news releases dated December 8, 2021 and January 19, 2022.

Au eq and Ag eq values have all been adjusted to the silver-to-gold ratio of 78:1 for this news release.

Holes J21-40, -47, -49, -51, -56, -60, -61, -65, -69, -70, -72, -73, -74, -78, -84, -85, -87 and -88 do not have reportable Au and/or Ag values.

Hole J21-60 was not drilled.

Highlights of C-10 drill results and interpretation:

• 31.16 gpt Au eq (31.10 gpt Au and 4.97 gpt Ag) over 1.95m in hole C21-1
• In 2021, Eskay completed seven diamond drill holes from three drill pads at the C-10 target (Fig. 9), located approximately 8km south of TV. This is the first drilling undertaken in this region in over fifteen years.
• Hole C21-1 encountered 31.16 gpt Au eq (31.10 gpt Au and 4.97 gpt Ag) over 1.95m in what is interpreted by Eskay as metamorphosed VMS mineralization consisting of disseminated sulfides, chlorite, and silica in a meta-dacite breccia like that at TV.
• Because this intercept occurs as a discrete horizon without an associated stockwork feeder, it is interpreted to be peripheral to a larger system, one that may be high-grade given the high gold value of this interval.
• Notable low grade, but highly significant mineralized intercepts, some remarkably long, were encountered near the tops of holes C21-1 through -4. This mineralization is interpreted by Eskay to be related to a feeder system for a VMS deposit nearby the drill pad from which these holes were drilled. Notable anomalous mineralized intercepts include:
• 46.5m grading 0.15 gpt Au and 1.94 gpt Ag (46.5m grading 0.17 gpt Au eq making this a 8 gpt-m intercept) and a lower interval of 4.1m grading 0.24 gpt Au and 1.09 gpt Ag in hole C21-1
• 19.5m grading 0.18 gpt Au and 2.40 gpt Ag and a lower interval of 66.4m grading 0.23 gpt Au and 2.71 gpt Ag (66.4m grading 0.26 gpt Au eq making this a 17 gpt-m intercept) in hole C21-2
• 144.0m grading 0.14 gpt Au and 1.48 gpt Ag (144.0m grading 0.16 gpt Au eq making this a 23 gpt-m intercept) in hole C21-3
• 8.5m grading 0.24 gpt Au and 1.21 gpt Ag and a lower interval of 8.0m grading 0.23 gpt Au and 1.13 gpt Ag and an even lower interval of 6.0m grading 0.41 gpt Au and 1.01 gpt Ag in hole C21-4
• Eskay Mining is very excited by the discovery of high-grade VMS and peripheral low grade stockwork mineralization at C-10 and plans follow up geologic mapping and sampling in the immediate area to further refine this drill target as soon as the snow melts.

Highlights of Vermillion drill results and interpretation:

• 1.10 gpt Au eq (1.09 gpt Au and 0.51 gpt Ag) over 6.92m in hole V21-1
• 4.03 gpt Au eq (3.80 gpt Au and 18.05 gpt Ag) over 0.9m in hole V21-3
• Just four diamond drill holes from two drill pads were completed at the newly identified Vermillion target (Fig. 9), located approximately 2 km east of C-10, before early snow terminated the drilling program.
• Highly significant mineralized intervals were encountered in holes V21-1, 1.10 gpt Au eq (1.09 gpt Au and 0.51 gpt Ag) over 6.92m, and V21-3, 4.03 gpt Au eq (3.80 gpt Au and 18.05 gpt Ag) over 0.9m. Like at C-10, multiple low grade but significant mineralized intercepts, some long, were encountered in holes V21-1 through -3, all drilled from the same pad, suggesting proximity to a nearby VMS system. Notable anomalous mineralized intercepts include:
• 36.6m grading 0.09 gpt Au and 3.73 gpt Ag (36.6m grading 0.14 gpt Au eq making this a 5 gpt-m intercept) and a lower interval of 40.7m grading 0.24 gpt Au and 0.14 gpt Ag (40.7m grading 0.24 gpt Au eq making this a 10 gpt-m intercept) including 6.92m grading 1.09 gpt Au and 0.51 gpt Ag in hole V21-1
• 3.6m grading 0.20 gpt Au and 0.84 gpt Ag and a lower interval of 20.7m grading 0.10 gpt Au and 0.48 gpt Ag in hole V21-2
• 9.4m grading 0.16 gpt Au and 2.35 gpt Ag and a lower interval of 0.9m grading 3.80 gpt Au and 18.05 gpt Ag in hole V21-3
• 1.1m grading 1.46 gpt Au and 15.00 gpt Ag and a lower interval of 16.2m grading 0.18 gpt Au and 0.17 gpt Ag in hole V21-4
• Although no potentially economic intercepts were encountered in these first four holes at Vermillion, Eskay considers them important, because they provide clear evidence of VMS mineralization being present in this new target area. Further geologic mapping and sampling will be undertaken to better refine drill targets at Vermillion prior to follow up drilling.

Au eq and Ag eq Calculations and True Width:

Note on use of Au eq (Au eq=Au+Ag/78) and Ag eq (Ag eq=Au*78+Ag): Mineralization at the TV and Jeff deposits displays similar characteristics and mineralogy to the Eskay Creek deposit and therefore for Au eq, and Au:Ag, a ratio of 78:1 is used and Au eq and Ag eq values are deemed to be reasonable based on assumed gold recovery (84.2%) and silver recovery (87.3%) as reported in the Eskay Creek Project NI 43-101 Technical Report and Prefeasibility Study, British Columbia, Canada, Effective Date: 22 July, 2021, Prepared for: Skeena Resources Ltd., Prepared by: Absence Engineering Canada Inc.

True widths of reported intercepts are not fully understood at this time, but given the moderately dipping tabular nature of these deposits and the steep angle of drilling, Eskay geologists estimate true widths represent approximately 70-90% of the reported drill intercept lengths.

QA/QC, Methodology Statement:

Halved HQ drill core samples are submitted to ALS Geochemistry in Terrace, British Columbia for preparation and analysis. ALS is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for gold assays. All analytical methods include quality control standards inserted at set frequencies. The entire sample interval is crushed and homogenized, 250 g of the homogenized sample is pulped. All samples were analyzed for gold, silver, mercury, and a suite of 48 major and trace elements. Analysis for gold is by fire assay fusion followed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) on 30 g of pulp. Analysis for silver is by fire assay and gravimetric analysis on 30 g of pulp. Mercury is analyzed using the trace Hg Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS) method. All other major and trace elements are analyzed by four-acid digestion followed by ICP-MS.

Dr. Quinton Hennigh, P. Geo., a Director of the Company and its technical adviser, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical contents of this news release.
