Corporate presentation summary
23 Mar, 2026Project overview and development status
Eskay Creek is advancing as a large-scale, high-grade gold and silver mine with major construction underway and nearly 50% completion as of Q4 2025.
Initial production is scheduled for Q2 2027, with commercial production expected in Q3 2027.
The project has completed a rigorous permitting process, including environmental assessment and major mine permits, with strong collaboration from the Tahltan Nation.
Full-scale construction is supported by a secured financing commitment of US$750M and all necessary permits.
The project is located in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, a leading mining jurisdiction with robust infrastructure and access to clean hydropower.
Production profile and economics
Projected annual production of 450,000 gold equivalent ounces in years 1-5, with a gold grade of 5.5 gpt, triple the global open-pit average.
All-in sustaining costs (AISC) are estimated at US$538/oz in years 1-5, placing the project at the bottom of the industry cost curve.
Annual after-tax free cash flow is projected at C$1.8 billion in years 1-5, with a payback period of 1.2 years at spot prices.
Net present value (NPV) at a 5% discount rate is estimated at up to C$14.9 billion at spot prices, with an internal rate of return (IRR) of up to 138%.
Elevated production in early years is driven by high-grade ore, with opportunities to backfill production from satellite deposits.
Resource and reserve highlights
Proven and probable open-pit reserves total 4.6 Moz gold equivalent, with measured and indicated resources of 5.5 Moz gold equivalent.
Eskay Creek ranks among the world’s highest-grade open-pit gold mines, with grades more than triple the global average in early years.
The mine is also Canada’s largest silver producer, with an average of 9.5 Moz silver produced annually in years 1-5.
Silver reserves are in the top decile globally, and silver grades are in the top 25% of open-pit precious metals mines.
Underground resources add further upside, with 1.8 Mt at 4.7 gpt Au and 95.6 gpt Ag in measured and indicated categories.
