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
exploration activities. North Shore is earning into Skyharbour’s
Falcon Project and also holds the West Bear Project (“Falcon” and
“West Bear”) at the eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin in
northern Saskatchewan. The two properties are approximately 90
kilometres apart along a southwest-northeast trend. 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.

North Shore is targeting near-surface
basement-hosted uranium mineralization at Falcon and basement-and
sandstone-hosted mineralization at West Bear that can be associated
with basement structures and electromagnetic (“EM”) conductor
systems. Working with extensive geologic and geophysical datasets,
North Shore is now prioritizing uranium exploration targets on the
two properties in preparation for future field work including
potential drill programs. This news release summarizes targeting
efforts being undertaken in Zone 1 at Falcon where North Shore
discovered near-surface uranium mineralization in two drill holes
in early 2024 and has identified 12 exploration targets.
Mr. Brooke Clements, President and CEO of North
Shore stated: “We believe that the eastern margin of the prolific
Athabasca Basin is a great setting for a major new uranium
discovery. Building upon our maiden 2024 Falcon drill program, our
target generation work is allowing us to build a quality pipeline
of potential drill targets.”
Falcon Property Targets:
Falcon is located approximately 30 kilometres
east of the active Key Lake uranium mill and former mine. Between
1983 and 2002, two deposits at Key Lake produced a total of 209.9
million pounds of U3O8 at an average grade of over 2.0%1. There is
no guarantee that a uranium deposit similar to Key Lake will be
discovered at Falcon. The uranium discovery potential at Falcon is
significant and includes shallow basement-hosted unconformity-style
and pegmatite-hosted mineralization. In early 2024, North Shore
discovered near-surface uranium mineralization in two drill
holes.

Priority Zones:

North Shore has divided Falcon into three
uranium exploration zones, 1, 2 and 3. To date, North Shore has
identified 36 uranium targets at Falcon with 12 of those being in
Zone 1. The targets have been selected based on analysis of
multiple datasets including interpretation by Condor North
Consulting LLC (“Condor”), Earthfield Technologies Inc.,
Skyharbour, TerraLogic Exploration Inc. and North Shore. The
following are some of the criteria being used to define and
prioritize targets:
- EM: Strength, character and orientation of the
EM conductor system. EM data from three airborne surveys was
analyzed by Condor and single peak and double peak responses were
selected from profile lines. EMIT Maxwell software was used to
create subsurface models of interpreted conductors from portions of
Zones 1 and 2 to optimize placement of drill collars in early 2024.
North Shore expects to prepare more Maxwell plate models to assist
with prioritizing targets.
- Structural Interpretation: Potential faults
are selected using airborne magnetic data and interpretation of the
geology. Basement-hosted uranium deposits are often
fault-controlled.
- Gravity and Radiometrics: Airborne
gravity-magnetic-radiometric surveys were flown over Falcon in
2022. Higher uranium spectral responses can be indicative of
uranium-enriched surface geological features. Gravity lows can be
associated with alteration proximal to uranium deposits.
- Evaluation of Historical Exploration Datasets:
Significant uranium exploration programs were conducted from the
late 1960’s to the early 1980’s and in the 2000’s. Data from these
programs is publicly available and complements more recent data
acquired by North Shore.
Initial Focus Area in Zone 1:
Within Zone 1, the exploration priority area
includes the northeast-southwest trending conductor/structural zone
where uranium was discovered by drilling at P03 and P08. As
reported on May 16th, 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
4.7m 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 was intersected between
102.3-105.5m, the modelled depth of the EM conductor.

Shore in 2024 at Targets P03 and P08:

Based on work completed to date, North Shore has
prioritized three target areas in Zone 1 for potential future
drilling:
- 3.0km trend from target FA006 to FA003: This
trend includes the new uranium discoveries at P03 and P08 and
target F004 where two interpreted faults intersect, and the EM
conductor is offset. Using the structural knowledge gained by the
drilling and further interpretation of the Maxwell conductor
plates, several sites will be selected for potential drilling.
- Target FA003: Within the area described above,
two prominent parallel northeast-trending EM conductors each change
orientation at FA003. A potentially significant structure as
defined by a magnetic low also splits into two separate potential
subparallel structures. In addition, there is a prominent gravity
low anomaly that is entirely land-based and a strong uranium
spectral response in the airborne radiometric dataset.
- Target FA002: This target is defined by two
strong parallel EM conductors and a parallel magnetic low. The
conductor system is intersected by an interpreted cross-cutting
fault. In addition, just southwest of the target there is an
isolated airborne radiometric uranium high.
Next Steps:
North Shore will continue prioritizing targets
at Falcon in an effort to maximize the chances of success in its
next drill program. As currently planned, that drill program would
have two components, follow-up drilling along the 3.0 km trend
where North Shore discovered near-surface uranium mineralization in
early 2024 and the testing of new targets within Zone 1 and
potentially elsewhere. Additional updates on North Shore’s target
prioritization efforts will be provided on an ongoing basis.
Falcon Uranium Project:
The Falcon Property, 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.
The Option Agreement:
North Shore may acquire an initial 80% interest
in the Property by issuing common shares of the Resulting Issuer
(“Shares”) having an aggregate value of CAD $1,225,000; making
aggregate cash payments of CAD $525,000; and incurring an aggregate
of CAD $3,550,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property over
a three-year period. Once North Shore has earned an initial 80%
interest in the Property, North Shore may acquire the remaining 20%
interest in the Property within 90 business days by issuing Shares
having a value of CAD $5,000,000, and making a cash payment of CAD
$5,000,000 to Skyharbour. If North Shore does not elect to acquire
the remaining 20% interest, a joint venture will be formed with
Skyharbour holding a 20% participating interest.
North Shore will be the operator of the
exploration programs during the earn-in stage and for the joint
venture if formed. Two claims totaling 10,673 hectares that form
part of Skyharbour’s Foster River Property are subject to a one
percent (1%) NSR royalty payable to Skyharbour. The remaining nine
claims totaling 32,235 hectares that comprise Skyharbour’s South
Falcon Point Property are subject to a two percent (2%) NSR royalty
payable to Denison Mines Corp. (“Denison”) with North Shore having
the right to purchase one percent of the royalty from Denison at
anytime by paying $1 million. All Shares will be subject to a
four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period in accordance with
applicable securities laws.
