ESKAY MINING CORP. DEPLOYS AI-POWERED INVESTOR RELATIONS AGENT TO DELIVER UNPRECEDENTED TRANSPARENCY

Eskay Mining Corp. has deployed the Versance.ai IR (investor relations) agent and research agent on its corporate website, making Eskay Mining one of the first junior exploration companies in Canada to offer investors an always-on, artificial-intelligence-powered investor relations experience.

The Versance.ai IR agent is embedded directly on the Eskay Mining website, enabling retail and institutional investors to receive instant, verified answers to questions about the company's exploration activities, financial history, technical reports and corporate developments, in real time, in over 80 languages. Versance's platform is a compliance-grade reasoning system built specifically for public markets. The system draws exclusively from Eskay Mining's verified knowledge base, including over six years of SEDAR+ filings, news releases, National Instrument 43-101 technical reports and corporate presentations. As well investors using AI-powered tools can search, compare and analyze Eskay's filings.

The Versance.ai research agent provides a real-time feed of company filings and news, with AI tools that allow Eskay Mining to rapidly summarize, compare and interpret key developments -- streamlining the preparation of investor communications, presentations and social media content. The platform achieves 99-per-cent answer appropriateness in independent accuracy testing.

"Transparency is everything for a junior exploration company," said Mac Balkam, chief executive officer and president of Eskay Mining. "Over the past 15 years we have invested more than $40-million in building one of the most data-rich exploration packages over 130,000 acres in the heart of the Golden Triangle. Investors deserve to be able to dig into Eskay's story on their own terms, without having to call us."

"Eskay Mining is exactly the kind of company our platform was designed for," said George Fleming, chief executive officer of Versance.ai. "Junior exploration companies carry some of the most complex stories in public markets with multiple prospects, years of technical data and geology that most investors don't have the background to interpret on their own. AI is already in every investor's workflow. Versance turns Eskay Mining's official record into verifiable, 24/seven intelligence that is always cited, always accurate, always compliant."

Eskay announced in its press release dated Feb. 26, 2026, its exploration plans for 2026 to expand its Vermillion, TM and Big Red targets with an extensive drill program. The company's geological team led by Clinton Smyth is currently preparing borehole targets and the logistics for an aggressive exploration season.
