(\"Eskay\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:ESK) (OTCQX:ESKYF) (Frankfurt:KN7)(WKN:A0YDPM) is pleased to announce further encouraging diamond drill results from its 2022 exploration program at its 100% controlled Consolidated Eskay Property in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia.\"Results from our 2022 exploration season demonstrate Eskay's team has made considerable progress toward unraveling the district-scale potential of VMS mineralization surrounding the Eskay Creek deposit,\" commented Dr. John DeDecker, VP of Exploration for Eskay Mining Corp. \"Achievements of the 2022 exploration program include defining a new trend of VMS mineralization along the Scarlet-Tarn corridor parallel to and approximately seven kilometers east of the Eskay anticline. Tarn Lake and Scarlet Knob are situated along an east-west trending VMS feeder structure hosted by Eskay rhyolite like that seen in the footwall of the Eskay Creek deposit. Mapping and prospecting define a westward stratigraphic younging direction suggesting that stockwork and replacement-style mineralization at Tarn Lake may represent feeders to seafloor-hosted mineralization up-section towards the important Contact Mudstone horizon, host to high-grade mineralization at Eskay Creek. This recognition is a significant step towards meeting our goal of discovering new Eskay Creek-like high-grade VMS systems. Drilling at TV now shows that Au- and Ag-bearing massive sulfide extends 100 m along strike and overlies an even more extensive zone of stockwork mineralization. We are eager to follow up on all of these encouraging results in 2023.\"TV Extensional DrillingHighlight results:4.61 gpt Au and 22.17 gpt Ag (4.89 gpt Au Eq) over 6.28m within 2.84 gpt Au and 22.17 gpt Ag (3.13 gpt Au Eq) over 16.36m in hole TV22-1052.66 gpt Au and 30.45 gpt Ag (3.05 gpt Au Eq) over 10.56m within 1.51 gpt Au and 25.39 gpt Ag (1.83 gpt Au Eq) over 43.09m in hole TV22-1203.36 gpt Au and 109.50 gpt Ag (4.76 gpt Au Eq) over 2.00m within 1.14 gpt Au and 30.40 gpt Ag (1.53 gpt Au Eq) over 30.56m in hole TV22-976.88 gpt Au and 21.00 gpt Ag (7.15 gpt Au Eq)...
