Skeena Reports 2nd Batch Copper & PGM Assays from Tropico Drilling, Mexico

Skeena Resources Limited (TSX VENTURE:SKE) is pleased to announce assay results
of 4 additional holes from its current 5,000 metre diamond drill program on its
100% owned Tropico Project, Sinaloa State, Mexico. Assays have now been obtained
from 11 of the 16 holes completed to date (totaling 3,756 m), out of a proposed
22 hole first phase program, on this layered mafic/ultramafic complex. Within
the central portion of the Maricela - San Pablo Zone (refer to news releases
dated May 10 and 30, 2011), up to four parallel 16 metre to greater than 60
metre thick horizons of mineralized pyroxenite, interspersed with barren gabbro,
have been drill intersected, each yielding 0.2 to 0.5% copper, from 0.2 g/t to
0.6 g/t PGM (platinum + palladium + gold) and an average silver content of 2
g/t. The 2 pyroxenite bands on the north side appear to have good continuity
over a strike length of at least 2.5 km; the 2 horizons on the south side are
less well investigated at this stage but are interpreted to have continuity over
a strike length of at least 1.5 km.


Assay results are set out in the Table below, and the reader is referred to a
drill plan map on the Company's website at www.skeenaresources.com.

Additional drilling will test for the lateral continuity of several historic
'gaps' along the Maricela - San Pablo Zone. Also, several short shallow holes
will be drilled to complete cross sections of the complex with a specific goal
of testing the basal contact of the lower pyroxenite, such as beneath
cross-section SK11-001 and SK11-002 and beneath cross-section SK11-007 and
SK11-008.


Further drill results will be reported in batches of holes.

Quality Control

The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance
with Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 and
reviewed by Rupert Allan, P.Geol., president and CEO of Skeena Resources
Limited, the designated Qualified Person for this project. On site drilling
supervision is provided by two independent geologists, Dr. Daniel Rubiolo.
P.Geo. of GeoServa Exploration Ltd. and Ing. Felipe Ortega Garcia of Servicios
Geologicos y Mineros de Aztlan SA de CV. A rigorous chain-of-custody and QA/QC
program, consisting of the insertion of certified standard control samples,
duplicates and blanks was applied to the N thin-walled diameter, sawn half-core
samples. Sample preparation was handled by an Acme Analytical Laboratories
facility in Guadalajara, Mexico and the analyses by Acme Analytical in
Vancouver, British Columbia. Gold and the PGM elements are analyzed by fire
assay with an ICP-ES finish, and 31 additional elements by ICP-AES analyses.
Drill intercepts are reported as down hole lengths over widths in metres, as
true widths of the various zones have not yet been reliably ascertained.
