Water Quality Handout

Page 1

Water Quality Management Project Overview Skeena Gold + Silver is working to reopen the historic Eskay Creek underground mine as a conventional truck and shovel open-pit operation that will produce a gold-silver concentrate. Once in production, the concentrate from Eskay Creek will produce an average of between 200,000 and 250,000 ounces of gold annually and between 5.5 and 7 million ounces of silver annually over the Project’s estimated 18 year lifespan. The site has significant existing infrastructure already in place, including: +

Permitted Tom MacKay Storage Facility

+

Camps

+

Offices

+

All-weather access roads into site

Skeena remains committed to environmental responsibility and reconciliation. Our site will be powered by clean energy, accessed through Coast Mountain Hydroelectric Facilities, partly owned by the Tahltan Nation.
