Skeena Resources is transitioning from a high-risk developer to a fully permitted, funded, mid-construction precious metals company targeting initial production in Q2 2027. SKE has secured all major permits, completed 49% of Eskay Creek construction, and raised US$750M in senior secured notes to fund remaining capex and reduce streaming liabilities. Despite a 17.7% capex increase to US$659M and a high price-to-book ratio, SKE offers a rare near-production re-rating opportunity in a favorable jurisdiction with strong gold/silver leverage.
i-80 Gold Corp. has sold off sharply following the completion of its recapitalization plan, a similar setup to Skeena Resources, which rocketed higher shortly after its selloff once the news was digested. And while both offered dirt-cheap gold/silver exposure, IAUX is much closer to cash flow than SKE was and has a more diversified pipeline capable of greater scale. In my view, this IAUX selloff is nearly as ridiculous an overreaction as the drop below US$0.50, with the major difference being that i-80 is a far more de-risked story today.
Skeena Resources Limited (SKE) is upgraded to Buy (from previous Hold), driven by strong project progress and robust financing for its Eskay Creek gold-silver project. SKE's inclusion in the S&P/TSX Composite Index, full project funding, and accelerating asset growth highlight improved outlook and institutional confidence. Eskay Creek's high-grade reserves, favorable gold price forecasts, and undervalued EV/EBITDA ratio support significant upside potential for SKE shares.
Here is how Skeena Resources Limited (SKE) and Symrise AG Unsponsored ADR (SYIEY) have performed compared to their sector so far this year.
