Eskay Mining Concludes Drill Program at Its Consolidated Eskay Precious Metal-Rich VMS Project: Discovers Massive Sulfide Atop the TV Deposit - Seite 2

"Eskay's exploration team led by Dr. John DeDecker has accomplished a long list of goals this season," commented Quinton Hennigh, director and technical advisor to the Company. "Discovery of massive sulfide mineralization atop the TV VMS system and sulfide mineralization in between TV and Jeff are a great way to end the drill season. On top of this, recent drilling has confirmed that Upper Hazelton Group stratigraphy, like that at the Eskay Creek deposit nearly 20 km to the north, is in close proximity to the C10 VMS deposit. Drilling also demonstrates that the newly discovered Vermillion deposit constitutes a major new VMS discovery for Eskay Mining. Last but not least, reconnaissance ground work confirms that Scarlet Ridge hosts an extensive VMS mineralization system associated with rhyolite intrusions over a strike length of at least 1.5 km. We are delighted with this season's accomplishments and look forward to seeing assays from drilling, rock chip sampling and soils programs."
