American Marconi Wireless News - Skeena Resources Limited Announces the Filing of the Final Prospectus Supplement in Respect of Its Approximately C$70.5 Million Bought Deal Financing

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 21, 2025 / Skeena Resources Limited (TSX:SKE)(NYSE:SKE) ("Skeena Gold & Silver", "Skeena" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed a final prospectus supplement and entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with a syndicate of underwriters led by BMO Capital Markets (collectively, the "Underwriters") in respect of its previously announced bought deal offering of 4,800,000 common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares"), at a price of C$14.70 per Common Share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$70.5 million (the "Offering").

The Company has granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable in whole or in part, at any time up to 48 hours prior to closing of the Offering ("Closing"), to increase the aggregate number of Common Shares (including any Flow-Through Common Shares (as defined below)) purchased in the Offering by 15% (the "Underwriters' Option"). The Underwriters may elect, at any time up to 48 hours prior to Closing, to have up to 2,230,000 Common Shares issuable under the Offering (including any Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Underwriters' Option) to be issued as "flow-through shares" ("Flow-Through Common Shares") at a price of C$17.93 per Flow-Through Common Share (the "Flow-Through Election"). Each Flow-Through Common Share will qualify as a "flow-through share" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"). If the Underwriters were to make the Flow-Through Election in full (excluding any shares issuable upon exercise of the Underwriters' Option), this would increase the aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of the Offering to approximately C$78 million.

The Common Shares, including any Flow-Through Common Shares (together, the "Offered Shares"), will be offered by way of a prospectus supplement to the Company's base shelf prospectus (the "Base Shelf Prospectus") in all of the provinces of Canada, excluding Quebec. The Offered Shares will also be offered by way of a U.S. prospectus supplement to the Company's registration statement on Form F-10 (the "Registration Statement") (including the Base Shelf Prospectus) in the United States. The Offering is expected to close on or about February 26, 2025, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including but not limited to Skeena receiving all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Offered Shares having been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange.

Access to the prospectus supplements relating to the Offering, the Base Shelf Prospectus and any amendments thereto are provided in Canada in accordance with securities legislation relating to the procedures for providing access to a shelf prospectus supplement, a base shelf prospectus and any amendment to such documents. The Base Shelf Prospectus and the final prospectus supplement are accessible on Skeena's issuer profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
