Corporate presentation summary
3 Apr, 2026Project overview and development status
Eskay Creek is advancing as a large-scale, high-grade gold and silver mine with robust cash flow and profitability projections, targeting 450,000 gold equivalent ounces annually in years 1-5 and a projected after-tax free cash flow of C$1.5 billion per year in that period.
Construction is 49% complete as of February 2026, with initial production scheduled for Q2 2027 and commercial production by Q3 2027.
The project is fully permitted, with all major environmental and mining permits secured after extensive engagement with the Tahltan Nation and regulatory authorities.
The mine benefits from existing infrastructure, including all-weather road access, proximity to clean hydropower, and a permitted tailings facility.
Financials and economics
Projected all-in sustaining costs (AISC) are US$538/oz in years 1-5, placing it at the bottom of the industry cost curve.
At spot prices ($4,500/oz Au, $70/oz Ag), the project delivers an NPV (5%) of C$2.6 billion, IRR of 138%, and payback in less than 8 months.
Updated 2026 project capex is US$659 million, with US$305 million incurred by end of 2025 and US$354 million remaining.
A US$750 million senior secured notes offering will refinance existing debt and buy back 66.7% of the gold stream, improving financial flexibility and exposure to gold prices.
Resource and production profile
Proven and probable reserves total 4.6 Moz gold equivalent, with measured and indicated resources at 5.5 Moz gold equivalent.
Eskay Creek is among the highest-grade open-pit gold mines globally, with grades more than triple the global average in years 1-5.
The mine is also Canada’s largest silver mine, producing an average of 9.5 Moz silver annually in years 1-5, and ranks in the top quartile of global primary silver producers.
