TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / October 16, 2019 / Eskay Mining Corp. ("Eskay" or the "Company") (TSXV:ESK, Financial)(OTCPK:ESKYF, Financial)(Frankfurt:KN7; WKN:A0YDPM) is pleased to announce that it has teamed up with one of the world's leading economic geology research teams, the Colorado School of Mines ("CSM") to enhance its chances for discovery at its Eskay Creek area properties, the SIB and Corey. The research team is led by Dr. Thomas Monecke, Associate Professor of Economic Geology, a globally renowned expert in volcanogenic massive sulfide ("VMS") deposits. His post-doctoral research encompassed the geology and formation of Barrick's world class and extremely high-grade Au-Ag-rich Eskay Creek VMS deposit (3.7 million oz Au at a grade of approximately 45 grams pre tonne("gpt") and 162 million oz Ag at a grade of approximately 2,100 gpt), situated 2 km north of Eskay Mining's extensive land holdings. Dr. Monecke will be working in close collaboration with Dr. John DeDecker on this project. Dr. DeDecker (Ph.D. Geology, CSM) will be conducting a post-doctorate study on geochemical vectoring to ore deposits, in particular on how it pertains to VMS exploration.
