Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SYH)
(OTCQX: SYHBF) (Frankfurt:
SC1P) (“Skyharbour” or the “Company”) is pleased to
announce the commencement of its winter phase of diamond drilling
at the 73,314 hectare Russell Lake Uranium Project (“Russell” or
the “Project”). The Project is 57.7% owned by Skyharbour as
operator with joint-venture partner Rio Tinto Exploration Canada
Inc. (“RTEC”) owning the other 42.3%. It is strategically located
in the central core of the Eastern Athabasca Basin of northern
Saskatchewan, with access to regional infrastructure, including an
all-weather road and powerline. Skyharbour plans to complete an
initial 5,000-metre diamond drilling program in 10 to 12 holes at
the project, building on the successful results from the drilling
campaign completed last year. The Company's geologists, along with
a contracted drilling crew, are based at Skyharbour’s exploration
camp on the McArthur River-Key Lake haul road, situated within five
kilometres of Denison Mines' Phoenix deposit at the Wheeler River
Project.

Skyharbour is fully-funded for its upcoming
drill programs at its co-flagship Russell Lake and Moore Uranium
Projects in 2025 starting with this first phase of drilling at
Russell. The Company has plans to drill approx. 16,000 – 18,000
metres in 35 – 45 holes across its co-flagship projects
representing the largest annual drill campaign ever carried out by
the Company.
Jordan Trimble, President and CEO of Skyharbour,
stated: “We are thrilled to commence the 2025 drill campaign which
will consist of 16-18,000 metres in multiple phases of drilling at
Russell and Moore throughout the year. This will provide steady
news flow as we follow up on the 2024 programs with the benefit of
low-cost drilling and relatively shallow target depths at our
co-flagship projects. This first phase of drilling at Russell will
continue to test the exploration upside at the project, which hosts
widespread uranium mineralization and has the geology necessary for
larger, high-grade, Athabasca Basin uranium deposits.”
Winter Phase of Diamond Drilling at Russell
Lake:
Skyharbour has commenced its 2025 drilling
program at the Russell Lake Project with plans for a first phase
consisting of approx. 5,000 metres to follow up on notable recent
exploration success and to test new targets developed by the
geological team. The focus for this phase of drilling will be on
the Fork and Sphinx targets within the broader Grayling target
area, as well as the M-Zone Extension (“MZE”) target and the Fox
Lake Trail target. This initial winter program will consist of 10
to 12 drill holes, with most of the targets being road accessible
and near the exploration camp, bringing the drill costs down.
Furthermore, details on the geochemical assay results are pending
from the drilling carried out in late 2024 at Russell.

Areas:https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/20240110-MainTargetsRussellLake2024.jpg
The Fork target is a newly identified target to
the southwest of the Grayling Zone and is on strike with Denison’s
M-Zone at their adjacent Wheeler River Project. Last year,
high-grade uranium was discovered at the Fork target in hole
RSL24-02, which returned a 2.5-metre wide intercept of 0.721% U3O8
at a relatively shallow depth of 338.1 metres, including approx.
3.0% U3O8 over 0.5 metres just above the unconformity in the
sandstone (see news release dated July 19th, 2024, titled:
“Skyharbour Drills New Discovery at Russell Project with High-Grade
Uranium Mineralization Up to 3.0% U3O8 at Newly Identified Fork
Zone”). This high-grade intercept is a new discovery which had very
limited historical exploration due to a lack of reliable
geophysical data and drill targets hampered by interference from
nearby powerlines. The mineralization remains open in most
directions, including along strike and up-dip, and will be a
high-priority target for this drill program. The potential for
basement-hosted mineralization at the Fork target remains virtually
untested.

Skyharbour also plans to drill targets in the
M-Zone Extension area along trend from the Grayling Zone and
Denison’s M-Zone at Wheeler River, where historical drilling
intersected basement-hosted uranium mineralization. More recent
drilling by Denison in 2020 at the M-Zone encountered uranium
mineralization with significant faulting, core loss, geochemical
anomalies, and radioactivity encountered in other drill holes. Like
the Grayling Zone, the mineralization at the MZE target is hosted
by a graphitic thrust fault within a significant magnetic low. It
is also noted that cross structures associated with Denison’s
Phoenix and Gryphon uranium deposits potentially trend onto the
Russell Lake property within the M-Zone Extension target area,
further enhancing the prospectivity of this target.

Targets:https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/20240110-M-ZoneExtensionTargetsRussellLake.jpg
The Fox Lake Trail (“FLT”) area is located in
the northwestern section of the Russell Lake project. This area
encompasses a broad conductive corridor with a strike length
exceeding 12 km, which hosts multiple parallel conductors
identified by both airborne and ground geophysical surveys,
subsequently confirmed by drilling, as graphitic fault zones.
Limited historical drilling in the area shows significant
alteration and disruption in both sandstone and basement rocks,
along with elevated radioactivity and highly anomalous pathfinder
geochemistry in drill core samples. These findings indicate the
presence of a significant hydrothermal system in the area, which is
often associated with the formation of high-grade,
unconformity-type uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin.

Russell Lake Uranium Project
Overview:
The Russell Lake Project is a large,
advanced-stage uranium exploration property totalling 73,314
hectares strategically located between Cameco’s Key Lake and
McArthur River Projects, and adjoining Denison’s Wheeler River
Project to the west and Skyharbour’s Moore Uranium Project to the
east. The northern extension of Highway 914 between Key Lake and
McArthur River runs through the western extent of the property and
greatly enhances accessibility, while a high-voltage powerline is
situated alongside this road. Skyharbour’s acquisition of a
majority interest in Russell Lake creates a large, nearly
contiguous block of highly prospective uranium claims totalling
109,019 hectares between the Russell Lake and the Moore uranium
projects. Several notable exploration targets exist on Russell,
including the Grayling Zone, the M-Zone Extension target, the
Little Man Lake target, the Christie Lake target, the Fox Lake
Trail target and the newly identified Fork Zone target. More than
35 kilometres of largely untested prospective conductors in areas
of low magnetic intensity also exist on the Property. Skyharbour is
the operator and owns a majority interest in Russell Lake, having
formed a joint venture partnership with RTEC at the project.

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 interest in thirty-six projects covering over
614,000 hectares (over 1.5 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 in several zones at the Maverick Corridor.
Adjacent to the Moore Project is the Russell Lake Uranium Project,
in which Skyharbour is operator with joint-venture partner RTEC.
The project hosts widespread uranium mineralization in drill
intercepts over a large property area with exploration upside
potential. The Company is actively advancing these projects through
exploration and drilling programs.
Skyharbour also has joint ventures with industry
leader Orano Canada Inc., Azincourt Energy, and Thunderbird
Resources at the Preston, East Preston, and Hook Lake Projects,
respectively. The Company also has several active earn-in option
partners, including CSE-listed Basin Uranium Corp. at the Mann Lake
Uranium Project; TSX-V listed North Shore Uranium at the Falcon
Project; UraEx Resources at the South Dufferin and Bolt Projects;
Hatchet Uranium at the Highway Project; CSE-listed Mustang Energy
at the 914W Project; and TSX-V listed Terra Clean Energy at the
South Falcon East Project. In aggregate, Skyharbour has now signed
earn-in option agreements with partners that total to over $36
million in partner-funded exploration expenditures, over $20
million worth of shares being issued, and $14 million in cash
payments coming into Skyharbour, assuming that these partner
