Skyharbour Resources Ltd.’s (TSX-V:SYH)
(OTCQX:SYHBF)
(Frankfurt:SC1P) (the “Company”) partner
company Azincourt Energy (“Azincourt”), is pleased to announce that
it has completed the 2024 winter drill program at the East Preston
uranium project in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, Canada. The
2024 winter drill program consisted of 1,086 metres of drilling in
four diamond drill holes. The priority for the 2024 drill program
was to follow up on the clay alteration zone and elevated uranium
that was identified in the winter of 2023 with a focus on the area
of transition between the K and H Zones.

Winter 2024 Drill Program:
The winter 2024 program was executed by
Terralogic Exploration Inc. under the guidance of Azincourt’s Vice
President, Exploration, Trevor Perkins, P.Geo, and Jarrod Brown,
M.Sc., P.Geo, Vice President of TerraLogic Exploration. Field
activities were supervised by James Olsen, Geologist and Project
Manager with TerraLogic Exploration. Three holes were completed in
the H Zone, with one hole completed in the K Zone.
Drilling in 2023 identified an illite clay
alteration halo extending from the top of Zone K to Zone H as far
as drill hole EP0053. Within this illite alteration zone, dravite
and kaolinite are present in the north end of Zone H. Illite and
kaolinite are both indicators of hydrothermal alteration typically
found within alteration halos of unconformity uranium deposits.
Dravite is a boron-rich clay which is found within the larger clay
package proximal to uranium mineralization in the hydrothermal
system. Both illite and dravite have been identified as being
significant vectors for the 2022 JR Zone discovery by F3 Uranium
approximately 60 km to the northwest of the East Preston
project.

All holes intersected hydrothermal alteration
with the best alteration intersected in the last two holes of the
program. Hole EP0059, completed on Zone K, was targeted to follow
up on kaolinite and dravite clay intersections and elevated uranium
from 2023 in holes EP0049 and EP0055. Patchy white clay alteration
was intersected within several structural zones in the core. EP0060
was completed on the south end of Zone H to follow up clay
intersections and graphitic lithologies from 2023 in the southern
portion of Zone H. This hole intersected moderate to strong white
clay within zones of structure and intense fracturing. Analysis of
the clay species is in progress.
A total of 53 geochemical samples were collected
and sent to the Geoanalytical Laboratory at the Saskatchewan
Research Council in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan for analysis. Final
geochemical assay results are forthcoming. Samples of clay
alteration were collected for analysis by Short Wavelength Infrared
Reflectance (SWIR, sometimes referred to as “PIMA”) to confirm the
clay species. 34 samples were collected from current drillholes
with 20 samples also being collected from previous drill holes in
an effort to better outline alteration halos and extents.
“The extension of the clay alteration halos in
the K- and H- Zones is a very good sign,” commented Azincourt’s VP
Exploration Trevor Perkins. “Knowing the extents of the halos and
the types of clay present are important steps in identifying and
prioritizing follow-up drill targets. All indications are that we
are vectoring in on something. The more we see, the better the team
is getting at identifying which halos are the important ones to
chase. A significant number of deposits in the Athabasca Basin have
been found by identifying and chasing these types of clay
alteration patterns,” 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 also
indicates multiple prospective conductors and structural complexity
along these corridors.
2024 Target Areas at the East Preston Uranium
Project:

Drilling has confirmed that identified
geophysical conductors comprise structurally disrupted zones that
are host to accumulations of graphite, sulphides, and carbonates.
Hydrothermal alteration, anomalous radioactivity, and elevated
uranium have 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 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 majority working interest in the East
Preston Property. Azincourt earned the 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).
