Responsible Mining Project Overview Skeena Gold + Silver (“Skeena”) is proposing to develop and operate the Eskay Creek Revitalization Project (“the Project”), an open pit gold and silver mine at the past-producing Eskay Creek Mine site. The Project is located within the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine in the Golden Triangle region of northwestern British Columbia, 83 kilometres northwest of Stewart, and within Tahltan Territory1. Concentrate produced by the Project will be hauled along a southern portion of Highway 37 toward Meziadin Junction then westward along Highway 37A to Stewart. This transportation route passes through the Nass Area and Nass Wildlife Areas as per the Nisga’a Final Agreement, Gitanyow Nation Territory, and lands used by Métis Nation British Columbia (MNBC). During peak years of Operations, it is expected that ten concentrate shipments will be made to Stewart daily. The Process Plant will process up to 3.6 million tonnes of ore annually to produce a gold-silver concentrate. These production rates will produce an average of between 0.20 and 0.25 million ounces of gold annually and between 5.5 and 7.0 million ounces of silver annually over the Project’s approximate 13 years of operations.
Environmental Stewardship At Skeena, environmental stewardship is built into our business model, with responsible waste management being one of our top priorities. We are committed to carefully managing our activities so that we prevent or minimize any environmental effects. Through collaboration with the Tahltan Central Government, local Indigenous groups, communities, and project regulators, Skeena has developed and implemented comprehensive waste management strategies to protect the health and well-being of local communities and align with the Tahltan Sustainability Principles.
For the purposes of this document, “territory” is defined as the established or asserted traditional territories of Indigenous Nations, except in relation to the Nisga’a Nation, which refers to Nisga’a Lands, the Nass Area, and the Nass Wildlife Area as per the Nisga’a Final Agreement
