Nature of Operations

Skeena Resources Limited (“Skeena” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company is a mining company in development stage focusing on the construction and development of the Eskay Creek project (“Eskay” or “Eskay Project”) in British Columbia. The Company’s corporate office is located at 2600 – 1133 Melville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4E5. The Company’s stock is trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “SKE”, and on the German stock exchanges under the ticker symbol “RXF”.

On June 24, 2024, the Company entered into binding agreements with Orion Resource Partners (“Orion”) with respect to a Project Financing Package for the development and construction of the Eskay Project. The Project Financing Package is comprised of private placements, a Gold Stream, and a Senior Secured Term Loan facility (Note 7).

As long as the Company meets the conditions precedent to the Gold Stream and Senior Secured Term Loan, the Company anticipates that proceeds from the Project Financing Package will be sufficient to fund its capital requirements up to the commencement of commercial production at Eskay, which Management currently anticipate will be in 2027. Should the Company not be able to draw from these facilities, or in the event these facilities are insufficient to complete construction and commissioning of the mine, the Company will need to secure additional financing. In the longer term, the Company’s ability to continue as going concern is dependent upon successful execution of its business plan, including bringing the Eskay Creek project to profitable operation.

Basis of Presentation

Statement of compliance

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). They do not include all of the information and footnotes required for annual financial statements prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Board of Directors approved these interim consolidated financial statements for issuance on May 15, 2025.

Basis of measurement

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value.

The interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, and tabular values are rounded to the nearest thousand.

Basis of Presentation (continued)

Significant accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements requires Management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the interim consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates and judgments, which, by their nature, are uncertain. Significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty are the same as those that applied to the annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024.

New Standards, Amendments and Interpretations

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted in 2025

IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements

On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”), to improve reporting of financial performance. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”). IFRS 18 carries forward many of the requirements of IAS 1 but introduces significant changes to the structure of a company’s statement of income (loss).

The standard is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standard.

For financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost, the fair value at initial recognition is determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis or using prices from observable current market transactions. The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables, deposits, accounts payable and other liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments and/or the rate of interest being received or charged.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued)

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Valuation techniques using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3 – Valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The carrying value of the Company’s marketable securities is based on the quoted market price of the shares in the publicly traded company to which the investment relates (Level 1).

The fair value of the derivative liability relates to the gold stream entered into with Orion (Note 7) is based on the Company's forecast of the timing of receipt of the US$200,000,000 facility, the assumption that the US$100,000,000 cost over-run facility will not be utilized, the Company's forecasts of the Eskay Creek project completion date and gold production schedule, gold prices including their volatility, and the anticipated credit spreads of the Company and Orion (Level 3). The fair value of the Gold Stream derivative liability is calculated using a Monte-Carlo simulation as the value of the Gold Stream is linked to the gold price and the Company has an option to reduce the gold stream percentage. The following assumptions were utilized:

(1)Estimate based on a Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) gold traded option with the closest maturity to the Gold Stream.
(2)As it is a private investment entity, Orion’s credit spread is estimated based on the average option-adjusted spreads of selected constituents from the ICE BoA US Finance and Investment index with the term to maturity matching the future drawdown dates of the Gold Stream on each of the calculation dates.

The Company’s risk exposure and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and cash equivalents, receivables and deposits totaling $110,342,000 (December 31, 2024 – $102,069,000). The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by dealing with high credit quality counterparties. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are primarily held at large credit worthy Canadian financial institutions. The Company’s deposits are primarily held by large and reputable vendors.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market risk consists of interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued)

Market risk (continued)

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk with respect to interest earned on cash and cash equivalents. Based on the balances of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2025, a 1% increase (decrease) in interest rates at March 31, 2025 would have decreased (increased) net loss before tax by $951,000. Once draws are made on the Senior Secured Term Loan facility, the Company will be exposed to interest rate risk on loan obligations that bear interest at a floating rate.

The Company is also exposed to credit spread risk on the Gold Stream derivative liability, being the risk that the fair value of the financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the Company's credit spread. An increase of 100 basis points in credit spread at March 31, 2025 would have decreased net loss before tax by $11,764,000. Conversely, a decrease of 100 basis points would have increased net loss before tax by $12,194,000.

The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar are subject to fluctuations in the underlying foreign currency exchange rates and gains and losses on such items are included as a component of net loss for the period. At March 31, 2025, the Company has US$14,706,000 of cash and cash equivalents, and US$1,539,000 and CHF40,000 in accounts payable. Once draws are made on the Senior Secured Term Loan facility, the Company will be exposed to foreign exchange risk with respect to foreign denominated loan obligations as the future cash repayments of the Company’s loan obligations, measured in Canadian dollars, being the Company’s functional currency, will fluctuate because of changes in the US dollar exchange rate. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk on the Gold Stream derivative liability. The Company does not currently use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign exchange risk. Based on balances of these instruments and commitments at March 31, 2025, a 1% increase (decrease) in foreign exchange rates at March 31, 2025 would have decreased (increased) net loss before tax by $1,085,000.

Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices, other than interest rate risk or currency risk. At March 31, 2025, the Company held investments in marketable securities which are measured at fair value. The fair values of investments in marketable securities are based on the closing share price of the securities at the reporting date. A 10% decrease in the share price of the Company’s marketable securities at March 31, 2025 would have resulted in a $1,172,000 decrease to the carrying value of the Company’s marketable securities and an increase of the same amount to the Company’s unrealized loss on marketable securities. The Company is also exposed to gold price risk on the Gold Stream derivative liability, being the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market gold prices. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to gold price risk. A 5% increase in the forward gold price curve at March 31, 2025 would have increased net loss before tax by $7,836,000. Conversely, a 5% decrease would have decreased net loss before tax by $8,387,000.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient cash to meet liabilities when due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.

The undiscounted financial liabilities and commitments as of March 31, 2025 will mature as follows:

(1)Amounts represent commitments to spend on qualifying Canadian Development Expenses (“CDE”) as defined in Canadian Income Tax Act. The Company issued flow-through common shares during the year ended December 31, 2024 and, as a result, the Company is required to spend $72,428,000 in CDE prior to December 31, 2025. The Company also issued $39,984,000 in flow-through common shares in February 2025 (“February 2025 FT Common Shares”) and, as a result, the Company is required to spend $39,984,000 in CDE by December 31, 2025. The issuance of February 2025 FT Common Shares resulted in flow-through share premium liability of $7,203,000. As of March 31, 2025, the Company spent $32,745,000 in CDE, resulting in flow-through share premium recovery of $6,466,000.
(2)Including non-lease components such as common area maintenance and other costs.
(3)As of March 31, 2025, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of $97,989,000. Proceeds from Gold Stream of US$50,000,000 are expected to be received between April 1, 2025 and October 31, 2025 (Note 7).

Following receipt of proceeds from the Gold Stream, the Company’s gold production from the Eskay Project is subject to the terms of the Gold Stream.

Transactions with TDG Gold Corp.

In February 2025, the Company sold one of its exploration properties, the Sofia Property, to TDG Gold Corp. (“TDG”) for 8,000,000 common shares of TDG, resulting in a gain of $3,216,000. The Company also acquired 15,000,000 common shares of TDG for $7,500,000.

Project Financing Package

On June 24, 2024, the Company entered into binding agreements with Orion with respect to a Project Financing Package for the development and construction of Eskay. The Project Financing Package is comprised of private placements that closed on June 24, 2024, a Gold Stream, and a Senior Secured Term Loan facility of US$350,000,000. No draws were made on the Senior Secured Term Loan facility as of March 31, 2025.  The significant terms of the components of the Gold Stream are outlined below.

Gold Stream

Deposit: Total deposit of US$200,000,000 (the “Deposit”) in a series of five deposits on the following schedule:
oUS$5,000,000 at the inception of the Gold Stream (received $6,808,000 (US$5,000,000) on July 5, 2024);
oUS$45,000,000 between January 1, 2025 and June 30, 2025 (received $64,815,000 (US$45,000,000) on    December 30, 2024);
oUS$50,000,000 between April 1, 2025 and October 31, 2025;
oUS$50,000,000 between July 1, 2025 and January 31, 2026; and
oUS$50,000,000 between September 1, 2025 and March 31, 2026;
Area of interest: The area of interest for the Gold Stream is constrained to 500 meters around the existing Eskay mineral reserves and resources;
Deliveries: 10.55% of the payable gold production from Eskay (“Stream Percentage”) for the life of the mine, provided that the completion test (as defined in the agreement) is successfully achieved on or before September 30, 2027. If the completion test was not satisfied by September 30, 2027, Stream Percentage would increase to 10.70%, 10.85% and 11.00% if completion is achieved in the first, second or third calendar quarters following September 30, 2027, respectively, and to 11.40% for the remaining calendar quarters until satisfaction of the completion test;
Purchase price of each Eskay gold ounce sold and delivered: Until the Deposit has been reduced to $nil, the purchase price payable is (i) a cash payment of 10% of the gold market price on LBMA three days prior to delivery; and (ii) the difference between the gold market price and the cash payment received is credited to the Deposit. Once the Deposit has been reduced to $nil, the purchase price payable is a cash payment of 10% of the gold market price on LBMA three days prior to delivery;
Buy-down option: For a period of 12 months following the project completion date (as defined in the agreement), the Company may, at any time, reduce the Stream Percentage by 66.67% by repaying the proportional Deposit plus an imputed 18% internal rate of return (“IRR”);
Additional deposit: Following receipt of the full amount of the Deposit and the fourth advance of the Senior Secured Term Loan, the Company will have the option to draw an additional deposit amount of US$25,000,000 to US$100,000,000. The additional deposit will be subject to an availability fee equal to 1% per annum of any undrawn portion, payable quarterly, and a 2% fee payable at the time of payment of the additional deposit;
Term: 20 years (“Initial Term”), which will be extended for successive 10-year periods (“Additional Term”). If there have been no active mining operations on Eskay during the final 10 years of Initial Term or throughout such Additional Term, the gold stream agreement will terminate at the end of the Initial Term or such Additional Term;
Financial covenants:
oFollowing a grace period after achieving the completion test and continuing until the Security Release Date1, the Company shall maintain a debt service coverage ratio (as defined in the agreement) of no less than 1.25:1 for the six-month period ending on the last date of each quarter; and
oUntil the Security Release Date, following the full drawdown or cancellation of the commitments under the Senior Secured Term Loan and the additional deposit, the Company shall maintain at all times unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of at least $25,000,000;
Security: General security and share pledge agreements in favour of Orion from the Company.

1 The Security Release Date is the later of: (a) Orion yielding an imputed 13% IRR on the Deposit; and (b) the earlier of the date on which (i) the Senior Secured Term Loan is repaid in full or (ii) Orion is no longer the lender under the Senior Secured Term Loan.

Project Financing Package (continued)

Gold Stream (continued)

The Gold Stream is accounted for as a derivative instrument measured at fair value through profit and loss. There was no initial fair value amount to record in the financial statements for the Gold Stream as at June 24, 2024 as it was determined that the terms of the contract at inception represented market rates. As there were no draws on the Gold Stream at June 30, 2024, no amounts related to the Gold Stream were recorded at that date.

Below is a reconciliation of the Gold Stream derivative liability for the three months ended March 31, 2025:

Share-based payments (continued)

Restricted share units and performance share units

Upon each vesting date, participants will receive, at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors: (a) common shares equal to the number of restricted share units (“RSUs”) or performance share units (“PSUs”) that vested; (b) cash payment equal to the 5-day volume weighted average trading price of common shares; or (c) a combination of (a) and (b). For RSUs classified as equity settled share-based payments, the Company determines the fair value of the RSUs granted using the Company’s share price on grant date. For PSUs granted during the period, the fair values were determined using the Company’s share price on grant date.

Deferred share units

The deferred share units (“DSUs”) are granted to independent members of the Board of Directors. The DSUs vest immediately and have all of the rights and restrictions that are applicable to RSUs, except that the DSUs may not be redeemed until the participant has ceased to hold all offices, employment and directorships with the Company. For DSUs classified as equity settled share-based payments, the Company determines the fair value of the DSUs granted using the Company’s share price on grant date.

12.

Contingencies

Due to the nature of Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues such items as liabilities when the amount can be reasonably estimated, and settlement of the matter is probable to require an outflow of future economic benefits from the Company.

In 2022, the Chief Gold Commissioner and Supreme Court of British Columbia asserted, in error, that the Company did not own the mineral rights to materials previously deposited in the Albino Lake Storage Facility by previous operators. In July 2024, the British Columbia Court of Appeal overturned the decision of the Chief Gold Commissioner and Supreme Court of British Columbia, and referred the matter back to the Chief Gold Commissioner for rehearing and reconsideration. The counterparty in the matter has sought leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.  In April 2025, the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the counterparty’s application for permission to appeal the British Columbia Court of Appeal’s decision. As the materials contained in the Albino Lake Storage Facility were not included in the Company’s Eskay Creek Prefeasibility Study (2021), Feasibility Study (2022) nor in the updated Feasibility Study (2023), the outcome of this matter is not expected to have any effect on the carrying value of Eskay.

13.

Subsequent Event

In April 2025, the Company paid $250,000 and issued 17,229 common shares in satisfaction of the final payment relating to the acquisition of three properties in the Golden Triangle area from Coast Copper Corp. on October 18, 2022.
