FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 9, 2026
Eskay Mining Corp. Deploys AI-Powered Investor Relations Agent to
Deliver Unprecedented Transparency
TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire /April 9, 2026 / Eskay Mining Corp. (“Eskay Mining” or the
“Company”) (TSXV:ESK) (OTC PINK:ESKYF) (Frankfurt:KN7) (WKN:A0YDPM) today announced
the deployment of the Versance.ai IR Agent and Research Agent on its corporate website, making Eskay
Mining one of the first junior exploration companies in Canada to offer investors an always-on, AI-powered
investor relations experience.
The Versance.ai IR Agent is embedded directly on the Eskay Mining website, enabling retail and institutional
investors to receive instant, verified answers to questions about the Company's exploration activities, financial
history, technical reports, and corporate developments, in real time, in over 80 languages. Versance’s platform
is a compliance-grade reasoning system built specifically for public markets. The system draws exclusively
from Eskay Mining's verified knowledge base, including over six years of SEDAR filings, news releases, NI
43-101 technical reports, and corporate presentations. As well investors using AI powered tools can search,
compare and analyze Eskay’s filings.

"Transparency is everything for a junior exploration company," said Mac Balkam, CEO and President of Eskay
Mining Corp. "Over the past 15 years we have invested more than $40 million in building one of the most data-
rich exploration packages over 130,000 acres in the heart of the Golden Triangle. Investors deserve to be able
to dig into Eskay’s story on their own terms. without having to call us."
"Eskay Mining is exactly the kind of company our platform was designed for," said George Fleming, CEO of
Versance.ai. "Junior exploration companies carry some of the most complex stories in public markets with
multiple prospects, years of technical data, and geology that most investors don't have the background to
interpret on their own. AI is already in every investor's workflow. Versance turns Eskay Mining's official record
into verifiable, 24/7 intelligence that is always cited, always accurate, always compliant."
Eskay announced in its Press Release dated February 26, 2026, its exploration plans for 2026 to expand its
Vermillion, TM, and Big Red targets with an extensive drill program. The Company’s geological team led by
Clinton Smyth is currently preparing borehole targets and the logistics for an aggressive exploration season.
