Eskay Mining announced further diamond drill results from its 2022 exploration program at its 100% controlled Consolidated Eskay Property in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia. "Results from our 2022 exploration season demonstrate Eskay’s team has made considerable progress toward unraveling the district-scale potential of VMS mineralization surrounding the Eskay Creek deposit," commented Dr. John DeDecker, VP of Exploration for Eskay Mining Corp. "Achievements of the 2022 exploration program include defining a new trend of VMS mineralization along the Scarlet-Tarn corridor parallel to and approximately seven kilometers east of the Eskay anticline. Tarn Lake and Scarlet Knob are situated along an east-west trending VMS feeder structure hosted by Eskay rhyolite like that seen in the footwall of the Eskay Creek deposit. Mapping and prospecting define a westward stratigraphic younging direction suggesting that stockwork and replacement-style mineralization at Tarn Lake may represent feeders to seafloor-hosted mineralization up-section towards the important Contact Mudstone horizon, host to high-grade mineralization at Eskay Creek. This recognition is a significant step towards meeting our goal of discovering new Eskay Creek-like high-grade VMS systems. Drilling at TV now shows that Au- and Ag-bearing massive sulfide extends 100 m along strike and overlies an even more extensive zone of stockwork mineralization. We are eager to follow up on all of these encouraging results in 2023." TV Extensional Drilling: Highlight results: 4.61 gpt Au and 22.17 gpt Ag over 6.28m within 2.84 gpt Au and 22.17 gpt Ag over 16.36m in hole TV22-105; 2.66 gpt Au and 30.45 gpt Ag over 10.56m within 1.51 gpt Au and 25.39 gpt Ag over 43.09m in hole TV22-120; 3.36 gpt Au and 109.50 gpt Ag over 2.00m within 1.14 gpt Au and 30.40 gpt Ag over 30.56m in hole TV22-97; 6.88 gpt Au and 21.00 gpt Ag over 1.10m within 1.28 gpt Au and 87.92 gpt Ag over 14.95m in hole TV22-109.
