SKEENA RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the CONDENSED INTERIM consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

(Unaudited – expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars within tables, unless otherwise noted)

1.	NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Skeena Resources Limited (“Skeena” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada, and its principal business activity is the exploration and evaluation of mineral properties focused 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 and New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “SKE”, and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “RXF”. The Company is in the exploration stage with respect to its mineral property interests.

The Company has previously relied primarily on share issuances in order to fund its exploration and evaluation activities and other business objectives. As at March 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $59,056,000. Based on forecasted expenditures, this balance will be sufficient to fund the Company’s committed exploration and evaluation expenditures and general administrative costs for at least twelve months from the reporting date. However, if the Company continues its current level of exploration and evaluation activities planned for twelve months after the reporting date, the current cash balances will not be sufficient to fund these expenditures. 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), raising additional capital or evaluating strategic alternatives for its mineral property interests. The Company expects to continue to raise the necessary funds primarily through the issuance of shares and construction financing which is anticipated to be provided through a combination of debt, equity and other instruments at the appropriate time. There can be no guarantees that future equity and/or construction financings will be available on acceptable terms or at all, in which case the Company may need to reduce or delay its longer-term exploration and evaluation plans.

2.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Statement of compliance

These unaudited condensed 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, 2023.

Except as disclosed in Note 3, the accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed 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, 2023.

The Board of Directors approved these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for issuance on May 9, 2024.

Significant accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of these unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed 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, 2023.

3.	NEW STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS

Adoption of new accounting standards in 2024

Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7: Supplier Finance Arrangements

In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows (“IAS 7”), and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments Disclosures (“IFRS 7”), to provide guidance on disclosures related to supplier finance arrangements that enable the users of financial statements to assess the effects of these arrangements on the entity’s liabilities and cash flows and on the entity’s exposure to liquidity risk.

The Company adopted these amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 effective January 1, 2024. The extent of the impact of the adoption of these amendments has been determined to have no material impact on the financial statements.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted in 2024

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.

4.	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments are comprised of the following:



Financial Instrument	Category	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents	Amortized cost	$	59,056	$	91,135
Marketable securities	Fair value through profit or loss	$	1,369	$	1,554
Receivables	Amortized cost	$	954	$	957
Deposits	Amortized cost	$	8,078	$	2,102
Contingent consideration receivable	Fair value through profit or loss	$	—	$	—
Accounts payable	Amortized cost	$	5,719	$	16,074
Convertible debenture	Fair value through profit or loss	$	23,955	$	22,775
Other liabilities	Amortized cost	$	732	$	691

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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

(Unaudited – expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars within tables, unless otherwise noted)

4.	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 contingent consideration receivable is subject to significant estimates relating to the probability of the occurrence of certain events (Level 3).

The fair value of the convertible debenture is subject to significant estimates relating to the probability and timing that (i) the Company will complete a project financing of at least US$200,000,000 during the term of the convertible debenture; and (ii) there will be a change of control, calculated using the partial differential equation approach (Level 3). During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the fair value of the liability component of the convertible debenture increased by $1,180,000. Pursuant to the terms of the convertible debenture, the Company must also comply with certain covenants. As at March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with those covenants.

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

Credit risk

Credit losses are measured using a present value and probability-weighted model that considers all reasonable and supportable information available without undue cost or effort along with information available concerning past defaults, current conditions and forecasts at the reporting date.

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, requires the recognition of 12 month expected credit losses (the portion of lifetime expected credit losses from default events that are expected within 12 months of the reporting date) if credit risk has not significantly increased since initial recognition (stage 1), lifetime expected credit losses for financial instruments for which the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition (stage 2) or which are credit impaired (stage 3). There are no material expected credit losses with respect to the Company’s financial instruments held at amortized cost.

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, foreign currency risk and other price risk. As at March 31, 2024, the Company is exposed to market risk on its marketable securities. A 10% decrease in the share price of the Company’s marketable securities at March 31, 2024 would have resulted in a $137,000 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.

(Unaudited – expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars within tables, unless otherwise noted)

4.	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 as of March 31, 2024 will mature as follows:



	Less than 1 year		1-5 years		Greater than 5 years		Total
Accounts payable	$	5,719	$	—	$	—	$	5,719

(1)

Including non-lease components such as common area maintenance and other costs.

(2)

Principal and interest payments are presented on the basis that the convertible debenture matures in December 2028 and that the Company continues to elect to accrue interest to the principal amount and pay the principal and accrued interest upon the convertible debenture’s maturity. While the convertible debenture has a maturity date of December 2028, Management expects that the convertible debenture will be repaid during 2024 upon completion of project financing for the construction and development of the Eskay Creek project.

5.	DEPOSITS

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company paid deposits of $5,693,000 (2023 – $nil) relating to certain infrastructure at Eskay Creek.

7.	CAPITAL STOCK AND RESERVES (continued)

Share-based payments

Stock options

The stock options have a maximum expiry date period of 5 years from the grant date. The Company determines the fair value of the stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

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 RSUs or 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 year ended December 31, 2023, the fair values were determined using the Company’s share price on grant date.

Deferred share units

The 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.

CONTINGENCIES

Due to the nature of the 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.

On February 7, 2022, the Chief Gold Commissioner of the province of British Columbia determined that the Company does not own the mineral rights to materials previously deposited in the Albino Lake Storage Facility by Barrick. The Company has an appeal hearing on this matter with the British Columbia Court of Appeal beginning on May 15, 2024. As the materials contained in the Albino Lake Storage Facility were not included in the Company’s Eskay Creek Prefeasibility Study, Feasibility Study and updated Feasibility Study, the outcome of this matter is not expected to have any effect on the carrying value of Eskay.
