Eskay Creek
The Eskay Creek mine is located in northwestern British Columbia, approximately 80 kilometers by air north of Stewart.
The mine is an underground, trackless operation, which is accessible through three surface portals and utilizes a drift-and-fill mining method with cemented rock backfill.
In 2007, Eskay Creek produced 68,000 ounces of gold at total cash costs of negative $188 per ounce of gold, net of silver by-product credits1.
Mining was completed at Eskay Creek in March 2008, with processing of stockpiled ore expected to continue for a short time, at which point the mine will be closed and reclaimed.
