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 received a Crown Land Work Authorization permit from
the Saskatchewan Ministry of environment (the “
Permit”). The
Permit covers the Company’s 55,700-hectare Falcon property
(“
Falcon”) at the eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin in
northern Saskatchewan. 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.

Under the Permit, which expires on July 31,
2027, North Shore is authorized to conduct mineral exploration
activities including prospecting and ground geophysics, trail and
drill site clearing, line cutting, the drilling of up to 75
exploration drill holes and the storage of drill core. While
performing the exploration activities, the North Shore is required
to comply with existing regulations and the environmental
conditions specified in the Permit including reclamation of
exploration sites and monitoring wildlife in the area. North Shore
is also committed to engaging with local communities and addressing
their concerns throughout the life of the project.
As reported by North Shore on September 17,
2024, North Shore is now prioritizing uranium exploration targets
for future drill programs at Falcon. The target model is
near-surface basement-hosted uranium mineralization which can be
associated with electromagnetic conductor systems. To date, North
Shore has identified 36 uranium targets at Falcon. The targets were
selected based on the analysis of multiple datasets and
interpretation by Condor North Consulting ULC, Earthfield
Technologies Inc., TerraLogic Exploration Inc. and North Shore.
North Shore’s current goal is to select the top ten sites to choose
from for the next drill program.

Mr. Brooke Clements, President and CEO of North Shore stated:
“After our maiden drill program at Falcon this March, we are
preparing for follow-up work related to our two new uranium
discoveries and to evaluating new targets. We believe that Falcon,
located at the eastern margin of the prolilfic Athabasca Basin, is
a great setting for a major new uranium discovery. We have multiple
targets that require testing and we look forward to future
exploration programs.”
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.
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.
