The Fort Worth Press - Eskay Mining Corp. Contracts Apex Geoscience Ltd. For Its Summer Exploration Program Within the British Columbia Golden Triangle

Under the terms of the agreement, APEX will provide a team of professional geologists and support staff to carry out field operations, as well as core-processing and analytical activities to be based in Stewart, B.C. Given the importance of structural controls on mineralisation in the Golden Triangle, particular attention will be paid by Eskay and APEX to core orientation. Based in Edmonton with offices in Vancouver, Perth and Reno, APEX is a premier international geological consulting firm with extensive experience in exploration management and project implementation, having operated in over 35 countries, with a strong focus on North American projects.

The summer program will leverage APEX's expertise in geological services to advance exploration across Eskay Mining's 459 square kilometer land package. This vast holding in British Columbia's Golden Triangle is highly prospective for Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide deposits (exemplified by the neighbouring Eskay Creek deposit), Porphyry Copper/Gold deposits (exemplified by the neighbouring KSM deposits) and Epi- Meso-thermal Gold deposits (as exemplified by the neighbouring Brucejack deposit).

Eskay Mining also confirms that the diamond drilling component of the summer exploration program will be conducted by Driftwood Diamond Drilling Ltd., with whom a contract is already in place. Based in Smithers, B.C., Driftwood specializes in heli-portable drilling and is recognized for its commitment to safety and environmental stewardship in the mineral exploration industry. Pad building and other logistical support will be provided by Norad Logistics Ltd. in partnership with Rugged Edge Holdings Ltd., also out of Smithers B.C.

Mac Balkam, President & C.E.O. of Eskay Mining Corp. commented "These are two excellent additions to our Eskay Team under the leadership of Chief Geologist, Clinton Smyth. 2026 will prove to be one of the most ambitious and rewarding exploration seasons we have had in years!"
