TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 9, 2022 / Eskay Mining Corp. ("Eskay" or the "Company") (TSXV:ESK)(OTCQX:ESKYF)(Frankfurt:KN7) (WKN:A0YDPM) is pleased to announce discovery of a new volcanogenic massive sulfide ("VMS") center at Jeff North as well as recent drill intercepts of polymetallic mineralization in two areas along the TV-Jeff corridor, part of its 100% controlled Consolidated Eskay project, British Columbia. As of this release, over 13,000m of diamond drilling has been undertaken in numerous drill holes along 3.7km of strike at TV-Jeff. Diamond drilling also continues at the Scarlet Ridge area, subject of a Company news release dated July 27, 2022. To date, the Company has completed approximately 15,600m of diamond core drilling, approximately 52% of the 30,000m planned to be completed in 2022. Drill production remains on target to reach this aggressive goal with four drills fully operational.
"As with the Scarlet Ridge-Tarn Lake VMS corridor, the TV-Jeff VMS corridor is proving itself to be another large VMS complex with sulfide mineralization focused along multiple syn-volcanic fault structures each closely associated with intense hydrothermal alteration of volcanic rocks", commented Dr. John DeDecker, Eskay Mining's VP of Exploration. "The discovery of Jeff North now extends the strike length of the known TV-Jeff VMS corridor to 3.7km. Importantly, recent drill holes completed in two areas have yielded intercepts of polymetallic sulfide mineralization with abundant chalcopyrite and sphalerite. Spot XRF readings taken from core indicates promising pathfinder element support including silver from this style of mineralization. Also encouraging, anomalous geochemical results recently received from soil samples collected at the very start of the 2022 exploration season indicate mineralization potentially extends another 2 km further north from Jeff North. We are optimistic that multiple other VMS targets we have recently identified along the TV-Jeff trend will prove mineralized, and we continue to grow confident about the potential for the Consolidated Eskay project to host an entire VMS district."
Jeff North
Drilling at Jeff North targeted a large conductive SkyTEM anomaly coincident with a ridge of silicified peperitic basalt displaying strong Ag-in-soil anomalies from samples collected during the 2021 program. Strong VMS stockwork mineralization encountered in recent drilling at Jeff North lies 600m north of Jeff and extends at least 700m northwards along strike remaining open to the north. Some stockwork intervals are distinctly polymetallic displaying abundant sphalerite and chalcopyrite in addition to the ubiquitous pyrite. This mineralogy coupled with the presence of strong pathfinder elements including Ag, As, Sb, Cu, Zn, and Pb as detected by handheld XRF provide encouragement for presence of Au and Ag, both of which must be assayed for accurate measurement.Core is being logged, split and sampled in preparation for submittal for assaying.
Jeff North Drilling Highlights
- At present, drilling at Jeff North has ceased and the focus has moved onto TV, the area between TV and Jeff (Figures 1 and 2), and Scarlet Ridge. This said, Eskay is prepared to follow up with drilling at Jeff North late-season should assays confirm this to be a significant new discovery.
- Jeff North represents a new VMS discovery beginning 600m north of Jeff and extending at least 700m northwards. Sulfide mineralization is hosted by intensely silicified peperitic basalt and andesite flows (Figures 3 and 4). Mineralization remains open to the north as well as down-dip.
- J22-118 intercepted a 12.7m interval of polymetallic sulfide mineralization hosted within a silica-rich hydrothermal breccia and surrounding silicified mudstone (Figures 5 and 6). Sulfide mineralization includes abundant chalcopyrite and sphalerite. The presence of chalcopyrite with intense silicification suggests the proximity to a higher temperature VMS feeder zone than those encountered at TV and Jeff.
- Handheld XRF analyses of sulfide mineralization in several drill holes from Jeff North show high concentrations of the pathfinder elements Ag, As, Sb, Cu, Zn, and Pb.
- Early results from the 2022 soil sampling program show Ag and Hg anomalism extends 2km further north than hole J22-99 (Figure 9), the northernmost drill hole completed at Jeff North. Given that the Jeff North target was recognized as a SkyTEM conductivity high with an accompanying soil geochemical anomaly, Eskay's exploration team is optimistic that the Jeff North VMS system extends further northward. Soil sampling over a large SkyTEM conductive high approximately 1.8km north of Jeff North is currently underway.
- J22-122 intercepted a 9.0 m interval of polymetallic sulfide mineralization hosted by intensely silicified andesitic peperite and associated mudstone (Figures 7 and 8). Polymetallic mineralization in both J22-118 and J22-122 occur at an equivalent horizon to the lower stockwork zone at Jeff 125 m south of J22-122.
Commencement of Drilling at TV
- Drilling has commenced at TV focusing on expanding upon the core body of mineralization identified in 2021 drilling. Planned drill holes will test extensions of TV mineralization further down-dip, along strike to the north and south, and up stratigraphic section.
- Testing of nearby IP-resistivity and SkyTEM targets is also scheduled. Based on past success of targeting VMS mineralization using SkyTEM and soil data at Jeff North, Jeff, and TV, the Eskay team is optimistic that a cluster of SkyTEM conductivity highs surrounding TV will lead to discovery of additional VMS mineralization.
- The first 2022 drill hole at TV, TV22-84, intercepted approximately 40m of stockwork sulfide mineralization 65m down-dip from TV21-54, a very promising indication the system remains open in this direction (Figures 10 and 11).
To date, Eskay Mining has completed approximately 15,600m of diamond core drilling, approximately 52% of the 30,000m planned for 2022. Thus far, drilling has occurred around the area called Jeff North, Scarlet Ridge and now, at TV. At present, four drills are fully operational and drill production is on track to reach Eskay's aggressive goal of 30,000 m.
Dr. Quinton Hennigh, P. Geo., a Director of the Company and its technical adviser, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical contents of this news release.

多倫多，on/ACCESSWIRE/2022年8月9日/Eskay礦業公司(“Eskay”或“公司”)(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼：ESKYF)(法蘭克福股票代碼：KN7)(WKN：A0YDPM)我們很高興地宣佈在Jeff North發現了一個新的火山成因塊狀硫化物(“VMS”)中心，以及最近在TV-Jeff走廊沿線的兩個區域截獲的多金屬礦化，這是其在不列顛哥倫比亞省100%控制的綜合Eskay項目的一部分。截至此次發佈，TV-Jeff已在3.7公里的多個鑽孔中進行了超過13,000米的鑽石鑽探。鑽石鑽探還在Scarlet Ridge地區繼續進行，該地區是公司於2022年7月27日發佈的新聞稿的主題。到目前為止，該公司已完成約15,600米的鑽石巖心鑽探，約佔計劃於2022年完成的30,000米鑽探工作的52%。隨着四個鑽探全面投入使用，鑽探生產仍在按目標進行，以實現這一積極目標。
"As with the Scarlet Ridge-Tarn Lake VMS corridor, the TV-Jeff VMS corridor is proving itself to be another large VMS complex with sulfide mineralization focused along multiple syn-volcanic fault structures each closely associated with intense hydrothermal alteration of volcanic rocks", commented Dr. John DeDecker, Eskay Mining's VP of Exploration.

Eskay礦業勘探副總裁John DeDecker博士評論説：“與Scarlet Ridge-Tarn Lake VMS走廊一樣，TV-Jeff VMS走廊正在證明自己是另一個大型VMS複合體，硫化物礦化集中在多個同火山斷裂構造上，每個斷裂構造都與火山巖的強烈熱液蝕變密切相關。傑夫·諾斯的發現現在將已知的TV-Jeff VMS走廊的走向長度延長到3.7公里。重要的是，最近在兩個地區完成的鑽探已經截獲了多金屬硫化物礦化，其中含有豐富的黃銅礦和閃鋅礦。從巖心獲得的點狀XRF讀數表明，包括這種礦化風格的銀在內的有前景的探索者元素支持。同樣令人鼓舞的是，最近從2022年勘探季節開始時收集的土壤樣本中獲得的異常地球化學結果表明，礦化可能從傑夫·諾斯再向北延伸2公里。我們樂觀地認為，我們最近沿着TV-Jeff趨勢確定的多個其他VMS目標將被證明是礦化的，我們繼續對聯合Eskay項目容納整個VMS區的潛力充滿信心。“
Drilling at Jeff North targeted a large conductive SkyTEM anomaly coincident with a ridge of silicified peperitic basalt displaying strong Ag-in-soil anomalies from samples collected during the 2021 program. Strong VMS stockwork mineralization encountered in recent drilling at Jeff North lies 600m north of Jeff and extends at least 700m northwards along strike remaining open to the north. Some stockwork intervals are distinctly polymetallic displaying abundant sphalerite and chalcopyrite in addition to the ubiquitous pyrite. This mineralogy coupled with the presence of strong pathfinder elements including Ag, As, Sb, Cu, Zn, and Pb as detected by handheld XRF provide encouragement for presence of Au and Ag, both of which must be assayed for accurate measurement.Core is being logged, split and sampled in preparation for submittal for assaying.
Jeff North的鑽探目標是一個大型的導電SkyTEM異常，與硅化珠光玄武巖的山脊重合，從2021年計劃期間收集的樣本中顯示出強烈的土壤銀異常。最近在Jeff North鑽探中遇到的強烈VMS網狀礦化位於Jeff以北600米處，並沿着走向向北延伸至少700米，繼續向北開放。一些網狀層段具有明顯的多金屬特徵，除了普遍存在的黃鐵礦外，還顯示了豐富的閃鋅礦和黃銅礦。這種礦物學，再加上手持XRF檢測到的銀、砷、銻、銅、鋅和鉛等強指示元素的存在，為Au和Ag的存在提供了鼓勵，這兩種元素都必須進行分析才能進行準確的測量。巖芯正在進行記錄、裂解和取樣，為提交分析做準備。
Jeff North Drilling Highlights
- At present, drilling at Jeff North has ceased and the focus has moved onto TV, the area between TV and Jeff (Figures 1 and 2), and Scarlet Ridge. This said, Eskay is prepared to follow up with drilling at Jeff North late-season should assays confirm this to be a significant new discovery.
- Jeff North represents a new VMS discovery beginning 600m north of Jeff and extending at least 700m northwards. Sulfide mineralization is hosted by intensely silicified peperitic basalt and andesite flows (Figures 3 and 4). Mineralization remains open to the north as well as down-dip.
- J22-118 intercepted a 12.7m interval of polymetallic sulfide mineralization hosted within a silica-rich hydrothermal breccia and surrounding silicified mudstone (Figures 5 and 6). Sulfide mineralization includes abundant chalcopyrite and sphalerite. The presence of chalcopyrite with intense silicification suggests the proximity to a higher temperature VMS feeder zone than those encountered at TV and Jeff.
- Handheld XRF analyses of sulfide mineralization in several drill holes from Jeff North show high concentrations of the pathfinder elements Ag, As, Sb, Cu, Zn, and Pb.
- Early results from the 2022 soil sampling program show Ag and Hg anomalism extends 2km further north than hole J22-99 (Figure 9), the northernmost drill hole completed at Jeff North. Given that the Jeff North target was recognized as a SkyTEM conductivity high with an accompanying soil geochemical anomaly, Eskay's exploration team is optimistic that the Jeff North VMS system extends further northward. Soil sampling over a large SkyTEM conductive high approximately 1.8km north of Jeff North is currently underway.
- J22-122 intercepted a 9.0 m interval of polymetallic sulfide mineralization hosted by intensely silicified andesitic peperite and associated mudstone (Figures 7 and 8). Polymetallic mineralization in both J22-118 and J22-122 occur at an equivalent horizon to the lower stockwork zone at Jeff 125 m south of J22-122.
- 目前，傑夫·諾斯的鑽探已經停止，焦點已經轉移到電視上，電視和傑夫之間的區域(圖1和圖2)，以及血色山脊。這就是説，Eskay準備在季末在Jeff North鑽探，如果分析確認這是一個重要的新發現的話。
- 傑夫·諾斯代表了一個新的VMS發現，從傑夫以北600米開始，向北延伸至少700米。硫化物礦化賦存於強烈硅化的珍珠巖玄武巖和安山巖流中(圖3和圖4)。礦化仍向北敞開，並向下傾斜。
- J22-118截獲了賦存於富硅熱液角礫巖及其周圍硅化泥巖中的12.7米多金屬硫化物礦化(圖5和6)。硫化物礦化包括豐富的黃銅礦和閃鋅礦。具有強烈硅化作用的黃銅礦的存在表明，與TV和Jeff遇到的相比，接近更高温度的VMS喂料區。
- 傑夫·諾斯的幾個鑽孔中的硫化物礦化的手持XRF分析表明，銀、砷、銻、銅、鋅和鉛等引路元素含量很高。
- 2022年土壤採樣計劃的早期結果顯示，銀和汞異常比J22-99孔(圖9)向北延伸2公里，J22-99孔最北的鑽孔在Jeff North完成。鑑於傑夫·諾斯的目標被認為是高電導率的SkyTEM，並伴隨着土壤地球化學異常，埃斯凱的勘探團隊樂觀地認為，傑夫·諾斯的VMS系統將進一步向北延伸。在傑夫·諾斯以北約1.8公里處的一個大型SkyTEM導電高地上的土壤採樣目前正在進行中。
- J22-122截獲了一段9.0米的多金屬硫化物礦化，賦存於強烈硅化的安山質珍珠巖及其伴生泥巖中(圖7和8)。J22-118和J22-122中的多金屬礦化都發生在與J22-122以南125米的Jeff網狀帶相當的水平上。
Commencement of Drilling at TV
- Drilling has commenced at TV focusing on expanding upon the core body of mineralization identified in 2021 drilling. Planned drill holes will test extensions of TV mineralization further down-dip, along strike to the north and south, and up stratigraphic section.
- Testing of nearby IP-resistivity and SkyTEM targets is also scheduled. Based on past success of targeting VMS mineralization using SkyTEM and soil data at Jeff North, Jeff, and TV, the Eskay team is optimistic that a cluster of SkyTEM conductivity highs surrounding TV will lead to discovery of additional VMS mineralization.
- The first 2022 drill hole at TV, TV22-84, intercepted approximately 40m of stockwork sulfide mineralization 65m down-dip from TV21-54, a very promising indication the system remains open in this direction (Figures 10 and 11).
- TV已開始鑽探，重點是擴大2021年鑽探確定的礦化核心體。計劃中的鑽孔將測試TV礦化的延伸，進一步向下傾斜，沿走向向北和向南，並向上地層段。
- 還計劃對附近的IP-電阻率和SkyTEM目標進行測試。基於過去使用SkyTEM以及Jeff North、Jeff和TV的土壤數據鎖定VMS礦化的成功經驗，Eskay團隊樂觀地認為，TV周圍的SkyTEM電導率高羣將導致發現更多的VMS礦化。
- TV的第一個2022年鑽孔，TV22-84，從TV21-54向下傾斜65米處截獲了大約40米的網狀硫化物礦化，這是一個非常有希望的跡象，表明該系統仍在這個方向上開放(圖10和圖11)。
To date, Eskay Mining has completed approximately 15,600m of diamond core drilling, approximately 52% of the 30,000m planned for 2022. Thus far, drilling has occurred around the area called Jeff North, Scarlet Ridge and now, at TV. At present, four drills are fully operational and drill production is on track to reach Eskay's aggressive goal of 30,000 m.
到目前為止，Eskay Mining已完成約15,600米的鑽石巖芯鑽探，約佔2022年計劃鑽探30,000米的52%。到目前為止，鑽探已經在名為傑夫·諾斯、斯卡利特里奇和現在的TV地區進行。目前，四個鑽探已全面投入使用，鑽探生產有望達到Eskay提出的3萬米的積極目標。

A 50 m thick cross-section along line 6266900 N showing the extent of stockwork sulfide mineralization intercepted by TV22-84 from 274-213 m, Au assay results from 2020-2021 drilling are shown. The sulfide mineralization intercepted by TV22-84 is a 50 m down-dip extension of the stockwork mineralization intercepted by TV20-40, TV21-54, and TV21-59.)(Figure 11: Representative mineralized intercepts from TV22-84 showing stockwork sulfide mineralization associated with hydrothermal silica and hosted by an altered dacite breccia. The sulfide intercepts in this drill hole confirm the presence of VMS sulfide mineralization similar to and 60 m down-dip from that intercepted by TV21-54.)
