Vancouver-based Skeena Resources Limited has closed a major bought deal financing, raising $143.8 million to further advance its Eskay Creek gold-silver project in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle.
The company sold 5.99 million common shares at a price of $24.00 per share, with underwriters exercising their full over-allotment option. The financing was led by BMO Capital Markets and included several other major Canadian investment firms.
Skeena says the proceeds will be used to continue developing Eskay Creek and for general corporate purposes. The former producing mine is being redeveloped into a high-grade, low-cost open-pit operation with significant silver by-product production — a standout even among primary silver mines.
Located in Tahltan Territory, the project is considered one of the most promising in the region and could play a key role in the economic future of northwest B.C.
Skeena is working in partnership with the Tahltan Nation and says it’s committed to responsible mining practices, long-term sustainability, and meaningful engagement with Indigenous communities.
The shares were sold through prospectus supplements in Canada (excluding Quebec) and the United States.
