Eskay Mining contracts Brett Davis to advance Golden Triangle targets

Eskay Mining (ESKYF) has contracted the services of Brett Davis, a structural geologist, to provide expert analysis and interpretation of the complex structural geology elements on its 459 square kilometer land package in British Columbia’s prolifically mineralised Golden Triangle. Dr. Davis, known for his ability to use multi-scale structural geological analysis to bridge the gap between ground-level data capture and 3D structural modeling, will play a pivotal role in refining exploration targets across the Company’s large property. The Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia is a region with a protracted tectonic-intrusive-mineralization history. Eskay’s property is characterized by intense Cretaceous-aged compression that created complex structural regimes, including northerly trending components like the Eskay anticline. The importance of high-level structural analysis in this area is demonstrated by Eskay’s neighboring mineral deposits. The KSM deposits, located just east of Eskay’s property, are super-giant copper/gold porphyry systems whose geometries were profoundly influenced by faulting. At the Mitchell deposit, structural modification during Cretaceous transpression resulted in significant offsets, such as the Mitchell thrust fault, which displaced mineralization by approximately 1,600 meters. Further afield, Goliath Gold’s structurally complex Surebet layered gold veins discovery in the south of the Golden Triangle provides an exploration model for gold in our Vermillion target area where one vein sample in 2025 yielded 217 g/t Au and 0.44% Cu.Emulating Goliath’s reliance on detailed mapping to track known mineralisation, Eskay will apply Dr. Davis’s skills to review the potential occurrence of Surebet-style structural controls and shear zone geometries that may exist at Vermillion. Along with broadening its focus to include porphyry, epithermal and layered gold-bearing vein deposits, Eskay continues to explore its property for high-grade Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide deposits.
