This filing marks a critical de-risking milestone for Skeena Resources, confirming the successful completion of its US$750 million Senior Secured Notes offering. The proceeds are anticipated to fully fund the Eskay Creek Project through to commercial production in Q2 2027. Concurrently, the company announced the issuance of all major provincial and federal permits for the project, removing significant regulatory hurdles. While Q1 2026 saw an increased net loss, this was primarily driven by non-cash revaluation of a derivative liability and an impairment charge related to a terminated loan facility, rather than operational issues. The secured financing and permits provide a clear path forward for the flagship project.
