Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:
SYH) (OTCQX: SYHBF)
(Frankfurt: SC1P) (“
Skyharbour” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to announce that partner company Terra
Clean Energy Corp. (“Terra”) has provided plans for an upcoming
work program at its South Falcon East Uranium Project which hosts
the Fraser Lakes B uranium Deposit. Under the Option Agreement and
assuming the 75% interest is earned, Tisdale will have issued
Skyharbour 1,111,111 Terra shares upfront, and will
fund exploration expenditures totaling CAD $10,500,000, as
well as pay Skyharbour CAD $11,100,000 in cash of which $6,500,000
can be settled for shares in the capital of
Terra (“Shares”) over the five-year earn-in period.

The South Falcon East Project lies 18 km outside
the edge of the Athabasca Basin, approximately 50 km east of the
Key Lake uranium mill and former mine, approximately 7 km north of
the powerline servicing the Key Lake operation. Terra is planning
an extensive drill program for the winter of 2025. The program will
consist of approximately 2,000 meters of drilling. The priority is
to expand on the Winter 2024 program by extending the mineralized
footprint associated with the Fraser Lakes B Uranium Deposit and
test nearby targets with prospective alteration and structure
identified in historical drilling. The infill and step out drilling
planned at Fraser Lake B will confirm the presence and continuity
of existing mineralization and expand the footprint of the deposit;
currently the mineralization is open both down dip and along
strike. The results of infill and step-out drilling will aid in
preparation of an updated NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate and
deposit model for Fraser Lakes B.

The upgraded resource will also integrate other
results not included in the historical resource estimate, including
higher-grade mineralization encountered to date at Fraser Lakes B,
intersected in drillhole FP-15-05. FP-15-05 returned 0.165% U3O8
and 0.112% ThO2 over 2.0 metres at 135.0 metres depth within a
broader interval containing 0.103% U308 and 0.062% ThO2 over 6.0
metres at a depth of 134.5 m, and a second high grade intercept of
0.172% U3O8 and 0.113% ThO2 over 2.5 metres at 146.0 m depth. The
mineralization at Fraser Lakes B is accompanied by anomalous
pathfinder elements, including Bi, Mo, Pb, and Zn, that are also
associated with ultra high-grade basement-hosted unconformity
uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin.
Terra’s inaugural drill program in early 2024
(News Release dated April 1, 2024) at Fraser Lakes B confirmed the
presence of uranium mineralized pegmatites and graphitic pelitic
paragneiss along the Way Lake Conductor. Graphitic pelitic
paragneiss are a key lithology associated with uranium deposits
within the eastern Athabasca Basin, and their presence at Fraser
Lakes B is a good indication of the potential for high-grade
basement-hosted unconformity related uranium mineralization, in
addition to the known pegmatite/alaskite-hosted uranium
mineralization at the South Falcon East project.
While the Fraser Lakes B uranium deposit will
remain a primary focus of early efforts on the property, Terra has
ample additional drill-ready targets along the Way Lake conductor
at South Falcon East. This includes the T-Bone Lake area, just
north of Fraser Lakes B, where limited drilling encountered highly
prospective clay alteration, anomalous radioactivity, and uranium
mineralization (including up to 0.055% U3O8 over 0.9 m at 39.5
metres depth in drillhole WYL-10-53) associated with a
north-northwest trending fault cross-cutting the northeast-trending
Way Lake conductor. The alteration encountered at T-Bone Lake is
similar to that encompassing several high-grade basement-hosted
uranium deposits in the eastern Athabasca Basin, including the
former Eagle Point Mine and the Millenium uranium deposits.
Regional drilling will focus on this area and other untested areas
of structural complexity along the folded Way Lake conductor that
are highly prospective for high-grade basement-hosted
unconformity-related uranium mineralization and additional
pegmatite-hosted uranium mineralization.
Camp and Drilling Location:

The upcoming field program is anticipated to
commence in the new year and will be executed by Terralogic
Exploration Inc. under the supervision of Laura Tennent, Project
Manager with TerraLogic Exploration and and C. Trevor Perkins,
consulting geologist for Terra Clean Energy. The drilling program
will be operating out of Skyharbour’s McGowan Lake Camp with
helicopter support for the daily drilling operations. The expected
budget for this program is anticipated to be $1.5 million.
“This is a unique setup for a Canadian microcap,
one that offers multiple paths to significant value creation,” said
Alex Klenman, CEO of Terra Clean Energy. “We have an exceptional
exploration opportunity that includes pursuing high-grade uranium
discovery within already established mineralized zones, as well as
testing thousands of hectares of geologically and geochemically
favorable areas for new discovery, and to expand an early-stage
uranium deposit. We get both the blue-sky opportunity where a drill
hole can change a company’s trajectory in an instant, and the
safety of pursuing an asset-backed valuation. We’re eager to
continue drilling South Falcon and to unlock the abundance of value
we believe the project contains,” continued Mr. Klenman.
Terms of the Option Agreement:
Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Terra may
acquire up to a 75% (seventy-five percent) interest in the
Property, in two phases. Initially, Terra can acquire a 51%
(fifty-one percent) interest in the Property by completing the
following payments and incurring the following exploration
expenditures on the Property:
1. On the closing date (“Closing”), paying CAD
$350,000 (paid) and issuing 1,111,111 Shares to Skyharbour upfront
(issued);
-
- By the third year anniversary
of Closing, completing at least $5,500,000 in exploration
expenditures, and paying Skyharbour $5,750,000, of
which up to $4,500,000 may be paid in Shares based on the
20-day volume-weighted average closing price calculated on the day
of issuance (“VWAP”), at the election of Terra.
After acquiring a 51% interest, Terra may
increase its interest in the Property to 75% by:
2. Completing a payment of $5,000,000 to
Skyharbour by the fourth anniversary of Closing, of which up to
$3,000,000 may be satisfied in Shares based on the VWAP, at the
election of Terra, and incurring exploration expenditures on the
Property of an additional $2,500,000 in each of the fourth and
fifth anniversaries of Closing.
No common shares will be issuable to Skyharbour
at a deemed price of less than $0.05 or such minimum price as is
permitted by the Exchange at the date of issuance, nor will they be
issued to Skyharbour to the extent such issuance would result in
the Company becoming a new insider of Terra. Assuming Terra
exercises any portion of the option and acquires an interest in
Property, the parties intend to form a joint venture for the
ongoing development of the Property.
