  • Skeena Resources Gains Regulatory Approval, Shares Trade Below DCF Valuation
    January 31, 2026, 12:25 PM EST. Skeena Resources (TSX:SKE) secured key provincial, federal, and Mines Act permits for its Eskay Creek gold-silver project in British Columbia. Following a 71.22% share price surge over 90 days and a 172.44% total shareholder return in one year, recent short-term declines of 12.38% (1 day) and 9.65% (7 days) indicate cooling momentum. The company's shares trade at CA$38.85, below an analyst target of CA$44.00 and well under the Simply Wall St discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation of CA$305.06 per share, which estimates future cash flows from Eskay Creek and other assets. Skeena currently reports minimal revenue and CA$115.7 million net losses but forecasts annual earnings growth near 88%. Risks remain around project execution, delays, and cost escalations, but the permit approvals mark a critical milestone toward production.
