SKEENA RESOURCES LIMITED ("SKE-V") - Exploration Update

Skeena Resources Limited is pleased to announce receipt of electron microprobe analyses of definite
and probable/possible kimberlite indicator minerals from the fall 1999 stream sediment sampling
program on the Companys ICE Claims diamond project at Elkford in southeastern British Columbia.
Sample selection was done under the direction of Mr. C.H. Aussant, P.Geol. of Taiga Consultants
Ltd.; the heavy mineral separations were performed by Loring Laboratories Ltd.; and the mineral
grain selections and microprobe analyses were conducted under the direction of Dr. M.E. McCallum
of HDM Laboratories of Loveland, Colorado.

In addition to the four known exposed kimberlite pipes and one set of kimberlitic dykes, four
additional anomalous areas have been defined. The first is located 500 metres north of the Crossing
and Bonus Pipes, and the other three are 6, 9, and 12 kilometers south of the Ram Pipes. Quoting
from the HDM report: A very positive aspect of the chemical results is the presence of a significant
number of indicator minerals that plot in the diamond inclusion fields on various major oxide diagrams.
Although no reasonable speculations can be made regarding diamond potential of probable source
kimberlite occurrences, the chemistry strongly suggests a diamondiferous source (or sources).

Skeena is currently holding discussions with a number of parties regarding a possible joint venturing
of this project and a drill investigation of these targets this summer.
