Eskay Creek Mine
The Evolution of Ideas and Discovery
•Exploration to date on the Eskay Mining ground has been mainly focused on
finding another Eskay style VMS deposit
•Eskay Mining is taking a systems approach to exploration, focusing on 4
key points that incorporate all deposit types and is a simple way to look at
exploration, the key points are: •Source of Metals, Extended period of hydrothermal metal leaching and deposition
•Transport, Deep seated structures that tap the metal source (steeply dipping rift faulting)
•Physical Trap(s), Physical porosity, permeability, stratigraphy and faults etc…(Present)
•Chemical Trap(s), Chemical precipitation of metal, sulphur, ph, etc… (Present)
•Recent discoveries by Seabridge and Pretium have demonstrated that the
early Jurassic rocks are very prospective for porphyry and high grade vein
style gold-silver and copper-gold deposits •The size and value of these adjacent discoveries continues to grow
•The role of stratigraphy and structure is beginning to be understood
•Litho-structural patterns suggest steep faults controlling rifting resulting in up /down
displacements and the potential for stratigraphic repetition: ie.... Big Red seems to line up
with the KSM and Ironcap almost like footsteps in a NE trend.
•Favorable stratigraphy, structures and metal leakage all suggest the potential to form:
More Kerr and Jack style (Valley of the Kings) deposits on ESKAY MINING’s Ground

Eskay Mining – The Right Rocks in the Right Place!
“Most metal deposits are derived from hydrothermal systems. That is, superheated water,
circulating kilometers deep in the crust, gathers metal atoms and then deposits them in
particular zones, creating concentrations of metals. Typically, such a system would remain
active for hundreds of thousands of years to as much as perhaps a couple of million years. For
reasons not yet well understood, the hydrothermal processes in the Golden Triangle were active
for much longer, in some areas for perhaps 10 million years. Few areas on the planet have seen
such long-lived geological conditions.” *Lawrence Roulston, Resource Opportunities, Volume 15, #10 August 2012-1

VISION – Using What We Have Learned
•The numerous showings confirmed by reconnaissance sampling
(slide 15) (& 21-22 in Appendix) directly to the west of the SEA and PVG deposits
clearly demonstrate the potential for, and in some cases may be the
top of, or leakage from undiscovered deposits on ESK ground
•Based on SEA and PVG website information and map interpretation,
it seems that multiple deep seated NNW to NNE (structures & faults)
are feeder structures
• Observations from the multiple showings on the Eskay ground
describe steeply dipping high grade veins potentially feeding
porphyry and other bulk mineable structures • .
•Understanding the stratigraphic sequences and the fault structures is
key to understanding and targeting this potential •The Jack formation that hosts the Pretium Valley of the Kings deposit is prevalent and has never
been tested on the Eskay ground
•The 2011 deep geophysical survey outlines numerous untested anomalies that fit with the belief
that there will be future discoveries on the Eskay ground.

•The TM showing is the eastern-most part of the
GFJ zone, north of Big Red. It is essentially the
same mineralization as GFJ, but in a vertical
vein exposed in a cliff face, rather than the usual
flat-lying veins of the GFJ proper area. It also
contains proper arsenopyrite with tetrahedrite
(and significant gold), as opposed to silver-rich
tenantite that is common in the GFJ veins.
•Horizontal veins seemed to come out of the TM
vein, or were cut by it. It seems that the TM
showing is the "mother" vein of the GFJ zone
veins. Big Red is a new and untested target that
consists of 100’s of Quartz/pyrite/Cpy/Au

Summary and Conclusions
Eskay Mining - On the Edge of Discovery
1. “Elephant Deposit Potential”, Not just an Area Play • Eskay Mining believes that the numerous showings, geological and
geophysical drill targets represent a compelling opportunity for focused
exploration to duplicate the results of Seabridge and Pretium Valley of the
Kings discoveries! “High Value Targets in Politically stable Canada”
• *“One of the richest mineral belts in the world” *Lawrence Roulston, Resource Opportunities, Volume 15, #10 August 2012-1
2. Market Cap – Exponential Upside! “B.C.’s Golden Triangle, An Awakening Gold Rush”
• Eskay current market cap: 101m shares x $0.06 = $6 million
• Pretium current market cap: 110m shares x $8.70 = $965 million
• Seabridge current market cap: 49m shares x $13.50 = $662 million
2. Timing is Now • Precious metal prices have bottomed and the market is currently in a
consolidation phase
• The Quality of ESK assets will be appreciated and understood soon!

Brief Eskay History
1900: Unuk River Mining & Dredging Company drives adits at Cumberland claim.
1932: Eskay Creek property first prospected by Tom Mackay.
1980: Du Pont of Canada and E&B Explorations conduct regional heavy mineral
stream sediment surveys in Mt. Madge, Sulphurets Ck. and Unuk R. areas.
1986 - 1990: Kenrich Mining & Ambergate Explorations acquire most of Corey
claims and perform basic assessment work. Companies merge in 1994.
1988: Murray Pezim agrees to finance drilling at Eskay Creek.
1989: Calpine Resources drills 27.2 g/t Au and 30.2 g/t Ag over 208 m in DDH
109 at Eskay Creek
1989-1991: Extensive drilling at Lulu zone amid frenzy of Eskay Creek discovery.
1991: Placer Dome performs mapping, soil sampling and geophysics on C-10.
1993-1996: Continued exploration by Kenrich. Drilling at TV and Sheila Ck.
showings.
1994: Eskay Creek mine commences production.
Brief Eskay History 2001/2002: Heritage Explorations commences work with compilation, validation,
interpretation, modeling and targeting followed by mapping, drilling (SIB) and stream
sediment sampling. Highlights: 24 m @ 10.8 g/t Au, 766.15 g/t Ag at Lulu & several
stream geochemistry anomalies are identified including the Hexagon Zone
2003: Re-interpretation of geology, SIB modeling followed by prospecting, sampling,
mapping and drilling at SIB & Hexagon zone. Large alteration zone identified at
Hexagon and 2 m @ 8.09 g/t Au drilled at Southern Hexagon Zone.
2004/2005: Detailed time domain airborne electro-magnetics survey. Drill test
highest priority EM targets. Further mapping at Hexagon zone.
2008: Kenrich-Eskay Mining options SIB property from St. Andrew Goldfields.
Drills three holes at SIB.
2009: Company management change and name change from Kenrich to Eskay Mining
2010: Eskay Mining drills five holes on the SIB property.
2011: Eskay Mining conducts 300m + deep geophysical survey across the SIB and
Corey properties and a 3 D Model is constructed by Mira Geoscience.
A focus on integrated exploration has been lacking in the Eskay mining camp
except over areas within a few kilometers of the Eskay mine itself. Continuing
exploration between 2000 and 2007 resulted in the following discoveries:
1. Extensive drilling in the 22 Zone area has yielded promising results on the Eskay property.
Barrick had planned to extend a ramp into the hanging wall of this zone to stage diamond
drilling programs.
2. Further south on Prout Plateau, Heritage Exploration has drilled the SIB property, based on a
comprehensive synthesis of all historical data, geological mapping and stream sediment
sampling. In 2002, Heritage intersected the extension of the Lulu Zone on the SIB property.
An intersection in diamond drill Hole 2-113 encountered 11.7m of 19.5 g/t Au and
1,602.9 g/t Ag. Extensions to the zone were not found due to a large displacement, east
dipping thrust fault that passes close to the surface under the Lulu zone.
3. Also on the SIB property, the new Hexagon zone was discovered in 2003. Work there was
prompted by following anomalies encountered in a high energy stream sediment program. As
follow up, Heritage drilled 8 holes over a strike length of nearly 4 km. The best holes
encountered “mineralization hosted in moderate to highly altered and sheared pyritic-sericite
rocks, accompanied by variable silicification.” The altered sections have estimates up to
10%-15% pyrite content. Gold values of up to 1.51 g/t and silver values of 15.18 g/t were
also encountered. The Hexagon zone is interpreted as a mineralized structure related to syn-
volcanic faulting bounding the prospective Eskay – Corey Belt. It is in direct line with the
bounding faults to the Eskay orebodies, but is cutting rocks deep in the footwall to the Eskay-
rift sequence.
