Eskay Mining Corp Announces 2026 Exploration Program at Consolidated Eskay Project

Toronto, ON – February 26 , 2026 – Eskay Mining Corp. (TSXV: ESK; OTC Pink: ESKYF; Frankfurt: KN7; WKN: A0YDPM) confirmed its exploration strategy for the year 2026 at its Consolidated Eskay Project in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. The company will conduct drilling targeting copper‑gold porphyry and stacked gold vein deposits, with a focus on the Vermillion, TM, Big Red, and newly identified Sultan targets.

Key Components of the 2026 Plan

  • Targeted Drill Program

  • Primary focus on the Vermillion and TM targets, drilling to depths of up to 350 m.

  • Potential extension to Big Red and Sultan depending on surface work outcomes.

  • Data Integration and AI Preparation

  • Historical geochemical data and proprietary geological maps are being transferred to the Rogue Geoscience Mantle Database System and QGIS.

  • Geophysics surveys are being processed into Mira Geoscience’s Geoscience Analyst System by in3D Geoscience.

  • The integration of these datasets will enable AI‑based analysis for target identification.

  • Satellite Imaging Analysis

  • Worldview‑3 hyperspectral imagery of the eastern property has revealed alteration patterns not visible in standard satellite images.

  • These patterns will guide surface sampling during the 2026 field season.

  • Field Operations

  • Camp facilities, helicopter services, and drilling capacity are secured.

  • APEX Geosciences Ltd. will assemble a field team of geologists experienced in the Vermillion‑TM trend and the Sultan area.

Strategic Context

The 2026 program marks a strategic shift from the company’s earlier focus on VMS (volcanogenic massive sulfide) targets to porphyry and vein gold exploration. This transition aligns with the company’s goal of monetizing its highly mineralized land mass. The program is designed to leverage over 50,000 m of drilling, extensive geophysics, and focused sampling to isolate new discoveries that could be advanced to development in future years.
