NEWS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 11, 2026
ESKAY MINING CORP. RETAINS INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED STRUCTURAL
GEOLOGIST BRETT DA VIS TO ADV ANCE EXPLORATION TARGETS IN THE GOLDEN
TRIANGLE
TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire /May 11, 2026 / Eskay Mining Corp. (“Eskay” or the “Company”)
(TSXV:ESK) (OTC PINK:ESKYF) (Frankfurt:KN7) (WKN:A0YDPM) is pleased to announce that it has
contracted the services of Brett Davis, Ph.D., a world-leading structural geologist, to provide expert analysis
and interpretation of the complex structural geology elements on its 459 square kilometer land package in
British Columbia’s prolifically mineralised Golden Triangle. Dr. Davis, known for his ability to use multi-scale
structural geological analysis to bridge the gap between ground-level data capture and 3D structural modeling,
will play a pivotal role in refining exploration targets across the Company’s large property.
The Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia is a region with a protracted tectonic-intrusive-
mineralization history. Eskay’s property is characterized by intense Cretaceous-aged compression that created
complex structural regimes, including northerly trending components like the Eskay anticline.
The importance of high-level structural analysis in this area is demonstrated by Eskay’s neighboring mineral
deposits. The KSM (Kerr-Sulphurets-Mitchell) deposits, located just east of Eskay’s property, are super-giant
copper/gold porphyry systems whose geometries were profoundly influenced by faulting. At the Mitchell
deposit, structural modification during Cretaceous transpression resulted in significant offsets, such as the
Mitchell thrust fault, which displaced mineralization by approximately 1,600 meters.
Further afield, Goliath Gold’s structurally complex Surebet layered gold veins discovery in the south of the
Golden Triangle provides an exploration model for gold in our Vermillion target area where one vein sample in
2025 yielded 217 g/t Au and 0.44% Cu. (See November 7, 2025 News Release:
https://eskaymining.com/news/news-releases/eskay-receives-high-grade-gold-results-from-the-fi-11647/ ).
At Surebet, Goliath Gold highlighted the success of detailed structural mapping of gold-bearing shear zones
(See: https://www.mirageoscience.com/goliath-resources-case-study/ ).
Emulating Goliath’s reliance on detailed mapping to track known mineralisation, Eskay will apply Dr. Davis’s
skills to review the potential occurrence of Surebet-style structural controls and shear zone geometries that may
exist at Vermillion.
Along with broadening its focus to include porphyry, epithermal and layered gold-bearing vein deposits, Eskay
continues to explore its property for high-grade V olcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) deposits.

Dr. Davis has been at the forefront of research suggesting that many world-class VMS deposits may actually be
epigenetic replacement deposits rather than syngenetic seafloor accumulations – the latter belief having guided
Eskay’s VMS exploration to date. Dr. Davis’s ability to identify whether VMS mineralisation already
discovered at a number of locations on our property (viz: SIB, Lulu, TV and Jeff) post-date, or are synchronous
with, host sediments and volcanics could significantly change how Eskay explores around and away from these
centres of mineralisation this year and in 2027. Regardless of the mode of deposit genesis, an understanding of
the structural evolution and current state of these deposits is critical to formulating informed discovery models.
"We are thrilled to welcome Brett Davis to our geologic advisory team," said Mac Balkam, CEO of Eskay.
"Structural geology is the key to unlocking the next major discovery in the Golden Triangle. By applying
Brett’s methods—proven at world-class deposits globally—we expect to increase our confidence in expanding
existing discoveries and in identifying new, structurally-controlled mineral deposits that exploration relying
only in geochemistry and geophysics might overlook".
