(Frankfurt:SC1P)
(the “Company”) partner company Azincourt Energy (“Azincourt”) is
pleased to provide an update on preparations for the winter drill
program at the East Preston uranium project in the Athabasca Basin,
Saskatchewan, Canada.
Project Location – Western Athabasca
Basin, Saskatchewan,

Winter 2024 Drill Program:
Azincourt is planning a follow up drill program
for the winter of 2024, consisting of 1,000 to 1,500 metres of
drilling in up to five (5) diamond drill holes, with the potential
to expand the program. The priority will be to follow up on the
clay alteration zone with elevated uranium that was identified in
the winter of 2023 with a focus on the area of transition between
the K and H Zones.
The 2023 drill program included 3,066 metres of
drilling which confirmed extensive dravite, illite and kaolinite
clay alteration in the K-Zone, extended the strike length to 1500m,
and confirmed uranium enrichment within the previously discovered
alteration along the K- and H-Zones. The program is
anticipated to utilize one helicopter supported drill rig based
from a local contractor camp, with reduced disturbance due to the
lack of an access road. Drill and crew mobilization to site is
planned to commence in February and the planned budget for the
program is $1.5 - $2 million. More details on the program will be
released once mobilization has commenced.
“We are eager to be able to return to East
Preston this year to take a closer look at the clay alteration in
the K- and H- Zones,” commented Azincourt’s VP Exploration, Trevor
Perkins. “This alteration zone warrants further examination and
indicates that we are in the right area. A significant number of
deposits in the Athabasca Basin have been found by identifying and
chasing these types of alteration patterns. In the short term, we
will continue to narrow our focus and see where this trend takes
us,” continued Mr. Perkins.
East Preston Targets:
The primary target area on the East Preston
Project is the conductive corridors from the A-Zone through to the
G-Zone (A-G Trend) and the K-Zone through to the H and Q-Zones
(K-H-Q Trend). The selection of these trends is based on a
compilation of results from the 2018 through 2020 ground-based EM
and gravity surveys, property wide VTEM and magnetic surveys, and
the 2019 through 2022 drill programs, the 2020 HLEM survey
indicates multiple prospective conductors and structural complexity
along these corridors.

Drilling has confirmed that identified
geophysical conductors comprise structurally disrupted zones that
are host to accumulations of graphite, sulphides, and carbonates.
Hydrothermal alteration, relevant clays, anomalous radioactivity,
and elevated uranium have now been demonstrated to exist within
these structurally disrupted conductor zones.
Permitting and Community Relations:
Permits are in hand to conduct exploration
activities at the East Preston property through the summer of 2026.
Azincourt recognizes that the granting of these permits does not
negate the rights of the local communities for meaningful
consultation as the project progresses. Azincourt looks forward to
a continued close working relationship and regular consultation
with CRDN and other rights holders to ensure that any potential
impacts and concerns are addressed and that the communities can
benefit from activities in the area through support of local
business, employment opportunities, and sponsorship of select
community programs and initiatives. Local businesses are engaged by
Azincourt to provide services and supplies and members of the
Clearwater River Dene Nation and surrounding communities have been
directly employed on site or to provide support and services to
keep the camp and programs running. The involvement of the local
communities is essential for continued advancement of the East
Preston Project.
About East Preston:
Skyharbour and Dixie Gold entered into an Option
Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Azincourt whereby Azincourt had an
earn-in option to acquire a 70% working interest in a portion of
the Preston Uranium Project known as the East Preston Property.
Azincourt earned a majority interest in the project by completing
CAD $2.5 million in staged exploration expenditures and making a
total of CAD $1 million in cash payments as well as issuing shares
of Azincourt divided evenly between Skyharbour and Dixie Gold.
Azincourt now owns 85.8% as operator of the Project with Skyharbour
retaining a minority interest of 9.5% in the Project.
Three prospective conductive, low magnetic
signature corridors have been discovered on the property. The three
distinct corridors have a total strike length of over 25 km, each
with multiple EM conductor trends identified. Ground prospecting
and sampling work completed to date has identified outcrop, soil,
biogeochemical and radon anomalies, which are key pathfinder
elements for unconformity uranium deposit discovery.
The East Preston Project has multiple long
linear conductors with flexural changes in orientation and offset
breaks in the vicinity of interpreted fault lineaments – classic
targets for basement-hosted unconformity uranium deposits. These
are not just simple basement conductors; they are clearly
upgraded/enhanced prospectivity targets because of the structural
complexity. The targets are basement-hosted unconformity related
uranium deposits similar to NexGen’s Arrow deposit and Cameco’s
Eagle Point mine. East Preston is near the southern edge of the
western Athabasca Basin, where targets are in a near surface
environment without Athabasca sandstone cover; therefore, they are
relatively shallow targets but can have great depth extent when
discovered. The project ground is located along a parallel
conductive trend between the PLS-Arrow trend and Cameco’s
Centennial deposit (Virgin River-Dufferin Lake trend).

About Skyharbour Resources
Ltd.:
Skyharbour holds an extensive portfolio of
uranium exploration projects in Canada's Athabasca Basin and is
well positioned to benefit from improving uranium market
fundamentals with twenty-five projects, ten of which are
drill-ready, covering over 520,000 hectares (over 1.2 million
acres) of land. Skyharbour has acquired from Denison Mines, a large
strategic shareholder of the Company, a 100% interest in the Moore
Uranium Project which is located 15 kilometres east of Denison's
Wheeler River project and 39 kilometres south of Cameco's McArthur
River uranium mine. Moore is an advanced-stage uranium exploration
property with high-grade uranium mineralization at the Maverick
Zone that returned drill results of up to 6.0% U3O8 over 5.9
metres including 20.8% U3O8 over 1.5 metres at a vertical
depth of 265 metres. Adjacent to the Moore Uranium Project is
Skyharbour’s recently optioned Russell Lake Uranium Project from
Rio Tinto, which hosts historical high-grade uranium drill
intercepts over a large property area with robust exploration
upside potential. The Company is actively advancing these projects
through exploration and drill programs.
Skyharbour has joint-ventures with
industry-leader Orano Canada Inc. and Azincourt Energy at the
Preston and East Preston Projects, respectively, whereby Orano and
Azincourt earned majority interests in the projects through
exploration expenditures, cash payments and share issuances.
Skyharbour also has several active earn-in option partners
including: ASX-listed Valor Resources at the Hook Lake Uranium
Project; CSE-listed Basin Uranium Corp. at the Mann Lake Uranium
Project; CSE-listed Medaro Mining Corp. at the Yurchison Project;
North Shore Uranium at the Falcon Project; and TSX-V listed Tisdale
Clean Energy at the South Falcon East Project which is host to the
Fraser Lakes Zone B Uranium and Thorium Deposit.
Collectively, Skyharbour has now signed earn-in
option agreements with partners that total to over $33 million in
partner-funded exploration expenditures, over $27 million worth of
shares being issued and over $20 million in cash payments coming
into Skyharbour, assuming that these partner companies complete
their entire earn-ins at the respective projects.
Skyharbour's goal is to maximize shareholder
value through new mineral discoveries, committed long-term
partnerships, and the advancement of exploration projects in
geopolitically favourable jurisdictions.
