The latest update is out from Skeena Resources ( (TSE:SKE) ).

On March 31, 2026, Skeena Gold & Silver announced plans to issue US$750 million of senior secured notes due 2031, guaranteed by subsidiaries tied to the Eskay Creek project and secured by first-priority liens on key assets and accounts. The notes are to be privately placed to qualified institutional buyers in the United States and to investors in Canada under prospectus exemptions.

Skeena plans to allocate about US$184 million of the proceeds to partially buy back its existing US$200 million gold stream, cutting the stream percentage on Eskay Creek production by two-thirds, and around US$100 million to an interest reserve covering the first three semi-annual coupon payments. Remaining funds will advance Eskay Creek, cover transaction costs and bolster liquidity, while the company concurrently cancels an undrawn US$350 million term loan and cost over-run facility, moves that are intended to improve future operating margins, increase leverage to gold prices and enhance project economics for stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:SKE) stock is a Sell with a C$35.00 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.
