Here is the latest news out of Skeena Resources. As stated in the release the Company is continuing to focus on its major assets, the Snip and Eskay Creek projects. By offloading the Porter Idaho property in British Columbia the Company will have some more cash in the bank (C$1,750,000) and retain a 1% NSR on the property.

Remember Skeena currently has its phase 2 drill program underway at the Snip property that has very much an exploration focus. These results will be highly anticipated by the market.

I will be having Walter Coles, Skeena President and CEO on the show in the coming days. Please send me you questions to Fleck@kereport.com.
