The gold stream buyback significantly enhances project economics by increasing future gold upside and lowering cost per ounce. With Eskay Creek nearing production in Q2 2027, this refinancing reduces execution risk and positions SKE for stronger margin performance in a rising gold price environment.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Skeena Resources completed a US$750 million offering of 8.5% senior secured notes due 2031, using the proceeds to refinance prior facilities, repurchase 66.67% of its gold stream for $184 million, and prefund interest and construction at Eskay Creek. This strengthens its capital structure and increases future gold exposure.
Key Facts
- Completed $750 million senior secured notes offering at 8.5% interest, maturing in 2031
- Used $184 million to repurchase 66.67% of the $200 million gold stream from Orion, reducing future gold delivery obligations from 10.55% to 3.52%
- Cancelled undrawn $350 million senior loan and $100 million cost overrun facility, improving financial flexibility
- Prefunded 18 months of interest ($94 million) and allocated ~$470 million to Eskay Creek construction
- First pre-revenue mining company in over a decade to complete a public high-yield note offering, with support from KKR and Bank of America
Financial Impact
Reduces long-term cost of capital by replacing structured financing with covenant-light debt, improves future operating margins by reducing gold stream burden, and secures funding for construction completion
Risk Factors
- High yield of 8.5% increases interest burden compared to conventional debt
- Execution risk in completing construction on time and within budget
- Exposure to gold price volatility now that streaming liability has been reduced
