Eskay Mining – Following up on the high grade gold drill results released yesterday
Quinton Hennigh, Technical Advisor of Eskay Mining (TSX.V:ESK – OTCQX:ESKYF) joins me to recap the high grade gold results from the SIB Property, next door to the Eskay Creek Mine held by Skeena Resources. The drill results were form the TV and Jeff Targets and totaled 22 holes, most of which hit high grade gold mineralization. We also look ahead to the minimum 30,000meter drill program that is planned for the summer.
Please email me with any follow up questions regarding Eskay Mining. I will get those answered for you and possibly record an interview on the back of the questions. My email is Fleck@kereport.com.

HI Both..
Thank you for the interview, exciting stuff! I generally stick to the GDXJ to avoid stress.
However my father has been raving about this and NFG so need to do my homework. As NFG has been picked up by the GDXJ and Sprott`s involved i`m not so worried about that. I can see the vast potential here but it does seem a bit more risky!
I was just wondering if there was a reason the Lulu zone was not drilled this season? For an amateur like myself it would seem the most obviously exciting, as next to Skeena and a continuation from Eskay Creek.
Is it the case that these other options were more compelling. Just wondering if we could have a compare and contrast between the benefits of drilling the Lulu region and the rest of the property?
Also is Eric Sprott involved with this, I realise he`s been quiet recently but he is usually all over big discoveries.
Thanks Again Both, really exciting stuff!
Yours Sincerely
Mark Williams
Mark,

Mark,
SIB and Lulu have been the obvious choice for decades, and as such have had the bulknof drilling on Eskay’s property. However, the structural geology and multiple mineralized horizons (e.g. Lower mudstone, ELM zone etc…) were not understood previously. Work at SIB in 2020 consisted of relogging historic drill core and testing our hypothesis that the Coulter Creek thrust fault is west dipping. The results of the 2020 work have shown our new geologic interpretation to be correct. With our proper understanding of the CCTF, the intense hydrothermal alteration, and stratiform nature of Au mineralization we can now conduct a proper drill program at SIB for 2021. Our work at TV and Jeff shows that the west limb of the Eskay anticline isn’t the only game in town, it a rather small component of a much larger district. Drilling in 2021 aims to show this.
Thanks, Cory. Please ask QH in what order he would rank NSRPF, Lion One, Irving, New Found Gold, Eskay, Nulegacy, Eloro, Goliath, Tristar, Cabral, and Condor. I know he likes them all, but in what order? Thanks.
