ESKAY MINING CORP. ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF ITS 2026 DRILLING AND GEOLOGICAL MAPPING PROGRAM

Eskay Mining Corp. has successfully completed of its 2026 exploration program on its Corey-Eskay property in British Columbia's Golden Triangle.

Between the start of drilling on July 20 and demobilization of the drill on Sept. 16, the company drilled 10 diamond holes for a total of 4,344 metres in the C-10, Vermillion, TM, Big Red and Sultan target areas, conducted 45 days of geological mapping within those areas, and analyzed 553 core samples in its uncertified PortablePPB laboratory in Stewart.

All diamond core was cut at Eskay's core processing facility in Stewart yielding a total of 1,509 samples, 553 of which were analyzed in Stewart, with the balance going to the ALS certified laboratory in Vancouver. Depending on the analytical results reported in Stewart, certain samples were sent for repeat analysis by ALS. For most of the drilling program, the company sent every second sample from drill core for analysis by ALS.

Geological mapping included the collection of 159 surface rock samples and 346 georeferenced photographs. All surface rock samples have been sent to ALS for analysis.

Eskay will report on the results of its drilling and surface mapping once certified assays, expected over the next few months, are received from ALS.

Mac Balkam, president and chief executive officer, commented: "I am very pleased the Eskay team completed our plan as set out in the spring to extensively drill at Vermillion and provide surface exploration and mapping throughout the target area. We were also able to initiate drilling and mapping at the 2025 Sultan discovery. Two thousand twenty-six has seen us open the book on the very exciting southern part of the massive Eskay property."
