Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SYH)
(OTCQX: SYHBF) (Frankfurt: SC1P)
(“Skyharbour” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that its
partner company, North Shore Uranium (“North Shore”), has provided
an update on its Falcon property (“Falcon”) regarding the
prioritization of target generation efforts. Falcon is located at
the eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan.
In its September 17, 2024, October 10, 2024, and November 13, 2024
news releases, North Shore summarized work being done at the West
Bear and Falcon properties with three priority areas established at
Falcon, Zones 1, 2 and 3. North Shore may acquire an initial 80%
interest in Falcon by issuing common shares having an aggregate
value of CAD $1,225,000, making aggregate cash payments of $525,000
to Skyharbour, and incurring an aggregate of $3,550,000 in
exploration expenditures on the property over a three-year period.

To date, North Shore has identified 36 uranium
targets at Falcon. The targets are associated with electromagnetic
(“EM”) conductor anomalies and have been selected based on the
analysis and interpretation of multiple datasets by North Shore and
its consultants. As reported on May 16, 2024, North Shore
discovered near-surface uranium mineralization at P03 and P08 at
two of these targets, FA033 and FA006, respectively, in an area
that had never seen drilling. North Shore believes that these new
uranium occurrences could be part of a new trend of uranium
mineralization that could extend to the south-southwest and to the
west-northwest. North Shores near-term focus is to assess the
potential for an economic uranium deposit in this area by
evaluating priority near-surface EM targets in the South Priority
Area at the eastern end of Zone 1 and the South Walker area at the
southern end of Zone 2.
Falcon is located approximately 30 km east of
the active Key Lake uranium mill and former mine at the eastern
margin of the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan. The mill processes
uranium ore from the McArthur River Mine, one of two producing
uranium mines in Canada. Between 1983 and 2002, Key Lake Mine
produced a total of 209.9 million lbs. of U3O8 at an average grade
of over 2.0%. The uranium discovery potential at Falcon is
significant and includes shallow basement-hosted unconformity-style
and pegmatite-hosted mineralization. The Property has seen limited
modern exploration programs and there are a number of unexplained
uranium occurrences. Terra Clean Energy Corp. (CSE: TCEC) is
currently conducting a drill program at its Falcon East Uranium
project which lies directly east of Falcon.

Mr. Brooke Clements, President and CEO of North
Shore stated: “We believe that Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin is
the best jurisdiction in the world for uranium exploration and
development. In the last few years, the region has seen an
unprecedented level of claim staking and exploration activity. We
have a great pipeline of uranium targets at Falcon with the
potential to host a significant near-surface uranium deposit. Our
near-term focus is to evaluate targets at the south end of the
Property within a trend associated with the new uranium discoveries
we made in 2024.”
South Priority Area:
Within Zone 1, the South Priority Area includes
the three km long NNE-trending conductor/structural zone where
uranium was discovered by North Shore in drill holes P03 and P08.
As reported on May 16, 2024, at P03, a zone from 196.6 to 209.0m
included an interpreted brittle fault zone with graphite-rich fault
gouge and two samples that returned 345 and 378 ppm U3O8. At P08, a
4.7 m interval between 42.3-47.0m returned 316 ppm U3O8 including
one sample with 572 ppm U3O8. Also, at P08, a brittle, altered
pegmatitic and graphitic fault zone with elevated U3O8 values up to
50 ppm was intersected between 102.3-105.5m, the modelled depth of
the EM conductor.

Within the potential mineralized trend, targets
FA003 and FA004 offer the potential to extend the occurrence of
mineralization along the conductor system. At FA003 the EM
conductor system and an associated magnetic low are disrupted and
the system splits, with one arm going to the northeast, the other
to the north-northeast. In addition, there is a gravity low anomaly
which can be an expression of alteration that could be associated
with uranium mineralization. At target FA004, which is 1.5 km north
of FA003, the conductor is offset near the intersection of two
interpreted crosscutting faults.

Approximately two km south of FA003 target FA002
is defined by two strong parallel EM conductors and a parallel
magnetic low. The target zone is intersected by an interpreted
northwest-trending fault. In addition, just to the southeast of the
target there is a strong uranium anomaly defined by the 2022
airborne radiometric survey.
Located approximately five km south of the
Fraser Lakes B deposit, target FA005 is defined by a strong EM
signature that is intersected by an interpreted north-south
fault.

1:https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/Target-FA002-with-magnetics-background-Zone-1.jpg
South Walker Area:
Due to the presence of a strong
northeast-trending EM conductor system, the South Walker Area has
been the focus of exploration programs in the past. In 1979, Brinex
Ltd. drilled three holes. In 2008, JNR Resources drilled six holes
in the area. Structure-associated clay and chlorite alteration were
reported in several holes and elevated copper, molybdenum, nickel,
cobalt and vanadium were encountered in one hole (Sask. Mineral
Assessment File 74H02-0045). North Shore intends to test the
southern end of the trend. In early 2024, North Shore drilled one
hole at target FA0036, P12, but the hole was abandoned at 107.6 m,
short of the targeted conductor depth of 125 m owing to unstable
ground conditions. Whilst no significant uranium results were
returned from North Shore’s drilling at P12, a fault zone with
elevated Boron values up to 74 ppm was identified from 10-12 m. The
parallel EM conductors within targets FA007 and FA0036 are a
priority exploration focus for North Shore. At the P12 location the
glacial overburden is only 2.5 m thick.
Summary of the South Walker
Area: https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/Summary-of-the-South-Walker-Area.jpg
The five holes drilled by JNR Resources within
target FA010 from four sites in 2008 did not encounter significant
mineralization despite the compelling characteristics of the EM
conductor. A strong gravity low anomaly was identified by North
Shore from the 2022 airborne gravity survey. This anomaly coincides
with the EM conductor and an interpreted north-south-trending
fault. The geophysics and drilling results are being studied to
determine if more drilling to intersect the gravity anomaly is
warranted.

Gravity Survey:

Next Steps:
North Shore will continue prioritizing targets
at Falcon in pursuit of maximizing the chances of encountering
economic uranium mineralization in its next drill program. As
currently planned, that drill program would initially focus on
several targets in the South Priority Area of Zone 1 and the South
Walker Area of Zone 2. EMIT Maxwell software was used to create
subsurface models of interpreted conductors from priority areas in
Zones 1 and 2 to optimize placement of drill collars. Additional
updates on the Company’s target prioritization efforts will be
provided on an ongoing basis.
Falcon Uranium Project:
The Falcon Project, which constitutes part of
North Shore’s Falcon Property, contains eleven mineral claims
comprising approximately 42,908 hectares approximately 50 km east
of the Key Lake mine. Nine of the claims are from Skyharbour’s
original South Falcon Uranium Project and the remaining two claims
are from Skyharbour’s Foster River Project. Historical uranium
mineralization discovered at Falcon is shallow and is hosted in
several geological settings including classic Athabasca-style
basement mineralization associated with well-developed EM
conductors. At the EWA target, up to 0.492% U3O8 and 1,300 ppm
lead was encountered in outcrop grab samples (Sask. Mineral
Deposits Index [SMDI] 5038). Historical grab sampling at Knob Lake
(SMDI 1014) also encountered up to 0.01% U3O8 in an outcrop of
pegmatite, while anomalous nickel, copper, and molybdenum were
found in historical grab samples from the Fraser North target area
(SMDI’s 1125 and 1126).
A well-defined northeast-trending, locally
folded, electromagnetic conductor system runs throughout the
Property, which was defined by airborne and ground geophysical
surveys by JNR Resources (“JNR”) in the 2000’s. In 2008 JNR
conducted a drill campaign at the property area. Of the 47 holes
drilled that year, 28 holes (totaling 7,348 metres) were drilled on
the South Falcon Uranium Property at the Walker (14 holes), Walker
South (7 holes), and EWA target areas (6 holes). At the Walker and
South Walker targets, which lie along the aforementioned EM
conductor system, structurally disrupted and variably altered
metasediments (including graphitic pelitic gneisses) with anomalous
boron, copper, molybdenum, nickel, cobalt, arsenic, and vanadium
were encountered in several drill holes. During this same drill
campaign, the Fraser Lakes Zone B uranium deposit was discovered
approximately four kilometres east of the Walker South target on a
refolded extension of the EM conductor system. At the EWA target,
which lies along a separate northeast-trending EM conductor,
anomalous uranium, boron, lead, and molybdenum were encountered in
structurally disrupted pegmatites; the best result was 0.235% U3O8
over 0.5 m (within a 3.5 m interval of 0.113% U3O8) in hole
WYL-08-501 (Sask. Mineral Assessment File 74H02-0045).
Furthermore, in 2022, Skyharbour completed a
FALCON® airborne gravity gradiometer and magnetic survey over nine
of the eleven claims at the Falcon Property. This new geophysical
data will assist North Shore in prioritizing areas along the EM
conductor system for drilling. Over 30 kilometres of the EM
conductor system remains untested on the Falcon Property. North
Shore’s initial focus will be on the two claims formerly part of
the Foster Project (geophysics), and on generating drill targets on
three claims at the southeastern end of the EM conductor systems
including Knob Lake, which shows similarities to the Fraser Lakes
Zone B deposit approximately 6 km to the northeast and several
other high-priority targets elsewhere along the main EM conductor
system.
Significant potential exists on the project for
basement-hosted, unconformity-related uranium deposits like those
further to the north in the Wollaston Domain (i.e. Eagle Point,
Rabbit Lake, Key Lake and others), as well as for
pegmatite/granite-hosted (i.e. alaskite-type) U-Th-REE
mineralization like at the Fraser Lakes Zone B deposit on
Skyharbour’s adjacent South Falcon East Property, currently under
option to Tisdale Clean Energy.
