Eskay Mining announced on October 14 that it had completed its 2026 exploration program on the Corey-Eskay property in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle. From a July 20 start through drill-rig demobilization on September 16, the company completed 4,344 metres in 10 diamond holes and conducted 45 days of geological mapping across five target areas.

The company prepared 1,509 core samples; 553 were analyzed at its uncertified Stewart laboratory, with the remaining core samples sent to ALS Vancouver. It also collected 159 surface-rock samples for ALS. Drilling and surface assays were still pending when the release was issued, so the program-completion figures are not assay results or a resource update.
