Skeena signs Eskay Creek process charter

The process charter is a unique collaboration between Skeena, the Tahltan Central Government (TCG), and the Government of BC. This document establishes a workplan for all parties to collaborate on an efficient environmental assessment (EA) and permitting process for Eskay Creek. The target timelines established in the process charter outline the EA Certificate being received in 2H24 and final permits to be issued in 1H25. These dates align with the development timeline anticipated for the project.

Connor Pritty, TCG Lands Director commented:

“The TCG recently finalised the process charter for Eskay Creek. This document focuses on the details of regulatory processes related to the project. It is an example of how Skeena is continually working with the Tahltan Nation to redefine how project approval processes are carried out within our Territory. We are working together to effectively integrate Tahltan knowledge, process requirements and decision-making specific to Eskay Creek. The TCG Lands Department looks forward to continuing to work with the team at Skeena.”

Skeena’s President & CEO, Randy Reichert, goes on to comment:

“The process charter is a significant step forward in the approval process for Eskay Creek. The signing of this document demonstrates the commitment from all parties on permitting the project in an efficient and timely matter. We appreciate the efforts and collaboration shown by both the TCG and the province in achieving this major milestone.”
