Gold-silver mining developer ramping construction at Eskay Creek in BC
Skeena Gold + Silver is a Canadian mining company in active development and construction phase at the Eskay Creek Project in northwestern British Columbia. The hiring acceleration (33 roles posted in 30 days, primarily engineering and operations) paired with active projects around tailings construction, lab expansion, and supply-chain-to-project-controls integration indicates a transition from exploration into pre-production operations. Pain points cluster heavily around compliance (safety, environmental, ISO, engineering standards) and equipment reliability — typical for a company scaling mining infrastructure.
Skeena Gold + Silver develops and operates precious-metals mining projects in Canada, primarily focused on revitalizing the Eskay Creek and Snip properties in British Columbia's Golden Triangle. The company released a definitive feasibility study for Eskay Creek in November 2023. With 201–500 employees based in Vancouver, Skeena is currently in the construction and pre-production phase, managing tailings infrastructure, mine development, and environmental compliance across multiple concurrent workstreams.
Skeena is revitalizing the Eskay Creek and Snip past-producing mines in BC. Current projects include tailings dam construction, mining and earthworks, laboratory relocation and expansion, and systems integration between supply chain and project controls.
Skeena's stack centers on Microsoft platforms (Power BI, Power Query, SharePoint, Office, Access) for reporting and data management, plus specialized mining and geospatial tools: Aconex, ArcGIS, AutoCAD, GPS/RTK GPS, and ICP-OES. They are adopting LIMS for lab management.
