(\"Eskay\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:ESK)(OTCQX:ESKYF)(FSE:KN7)(WKN:A0YDPM) is pleased to announce the first assay results from its 2021 diamond drill campaign at its 100% controlled Consolidated Eskay precious metal rich volcanogenic massive sulfide (\"VMS\") project, British Columbia.Drill Highlights:26.0m grading 1.9 gpt Au and 367.7 gpt Ag (6.8 gpt Au eq) within 47.77m grading 1.3 gpt Au and 287.4 gpt Ag (5.2 gpt Au eq) within 140.28m grading 0.9 gpt Au and 123.2 gpt Ag (2.6 gpt Au eq) in hole TV21-63.24.09m grading 2.2 gpt Au and 374.0 gpt Ag (7.2 gpt Au eq) within 44.41m grading 1.5 gpt Au and 236.0 gpt Ag (4.7 gpt Au eq) within 92.3m grading 1.1 gpt Au and 124.0 gpt Ag (2.7 gpt Au eq) in hole TV21-54.14.17m grading 3.3 gpt Au and 37.2 gpt Ag (3.8 gpt Au eq) within 30.41m grading 2.1 gpt Au and 25.9 gpt Ag (4.7 gpt Au eq) in hole TV21-47.8.70m grading 3.4 gpt Au and 115.4 gpt Ag (5.0 gpt Au eq) in hole TV21-52.Eskay Mining's 2021 drill program picked up where diamond drill results from its 2020 program at the TV deposit, located approximately 13 km south of Skeena's Eskay Creek mine, left off. These five holes (results presented in the table below), suggest the presence of an extensive VMS feeder zone at TV. Mineralization remains open along strike to the north and south and down dip to the east (Figures 1, 2 and 3).Notably, these results are exclusively from stockwork feeder mineralization and do not include intercepts through the upper and lower massive sulfide horizons discussed in a Company news release dated October 13, 2021. As discussed in that release, Eskay Mining believes the TV deposit is comprised of a stacked VMS system, and therefore, these intercepts are interpreted to be from the stockwork feeder system that fed the upper massive sulfide deposit discovered in drilling late in the season. Assays from massive sulfide mineralization are awaited.Drill holes TV21-47, TV21-48, TV21-52, and TV21-54 all intercept stratigraphy approximately perpendicular to bedding, so down hole thicknesses are approximately true. ...
