Skeena Raises US$750 Million to Refinance Eskay Creek and Cut Gold Stream Burden

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An announcement from Skeena Resources ( (TSE:SKE) ) is now available.

Skeena Resources has priced a US$750 million offering of 8.500% senior secured notes due 2031, guaranteed by subsidiaries linked to its Eskay Creek project and secured by first-priority liens on related assets. The financing is aimed at restructuring its capital stack while supporting ongoing development of Eskay Creek.

Approximately US$184 million of the proceeds will fund a buy-down of Skeena’s existing US$200 million gold stream, cutting the stream percentage from Eskay Creek production by two-thirds and increasing the company’s future exposure to gold prices. The balance will fund an interest reserve, project advancement and general corporate purposes, while the firm also plans to cancel an undrawn US$350 million term loan and overrun facility, a move expected to improve margins and project economics for stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:SKE) stock is a Sell with a C$39.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Skeena Resources stock, see the TSE:SKE Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on SKE Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, SKE is a Neutral.

The score is primarily constrained by weak financial performance (pre-revenue profile, ongoing losses, and sustained cash burn with higher 2025 free-cash-flow pressure). Technicals add further downside bias (below key short-term averages with negative MACD), while valuation is also penalized by negative earnings and no dividend support.
