(OTCQB: SYHBF
) (Frankfurt:
SC1P
) (the “Company”) partner company Azincourt
Energy Corp. (“Azincourt”) is pleased to announce that it has
completed the earn-in of a seventy percent interest in the East
Preston Uranium Project, located in the western Athabasca basin,
Saskatchewan, Canada. Azincourt previously held an option to
acquire the interest through a property option agreement entered
into with Skyharbour and Dixie Gold Inc. (“Dixie Gold”; TSX-V: DG).

Basin, Saskatchewan,
Canada:https://skyharbourltd.com/_resources/maps/SYH-Patterson-Lake.pdf
Azincourt has now earned their 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
over the previous four years as well as issuing a total of 9.5
million common shares of Azincourt divided evenly between
Skyharbour and Dixie Gold.
Following acquisition of the interest, Azincourt
has formed a joint venture with Skyharbour and Dixie Gold for the
future advancement and development of the Project. Azincourt
now holds a seventy percent interest in the joint venture, with the
remaining interest split evenly between Skyharbour and Dixie Gold
with each company retaining a fifteen percent interest in the
Project.
As previously announced, road preparation and
placement of bridges to allow access to the primary drill sites at
the East Preston property is underway. The 2021 exploration program
is anticipated to cost approximately $1M to $1.4M and consists of a
10 - 12 hole, 2000-to-2500 meter diamond drill program. Drilling is
anticipated to commence later this month.
Skyharbour’s President and CEO, Jordan Trimble
commented: “Skyharbour continues to execute on its business model
by adding value to its project base in the Athabasca Basin through
focused mineral exploration at its 100% owned flagship Moore
Uranium Project as well as utilizing the prospect generator model
to advance its secondary projects with strategic partners. We are
excited to have the opportunity to work with Azincourt as a
joint-venture partner at East Preston going forward and will
benefit from any upside at the Project with our minority interest.
This partnership also complements the recent option agreement we
signed with Valor Resources at our North Falcon Point Uranium
Project as well as our partnership with Orano Canada at our Preston
Project adjacent to East Preston. Skyharbour maintains a dominant
land position in the Athabasca Basin with six drill-ready uranium
projects.”

“We are pleased to reach this important
milestone,” said Alex Klenman, President and CEO of Azincourt.
“We’d like to thank our partners at Skyharbour and Dixie for being
flexible along the way by adjusting some of the timeline to
accommodate market conditions. We look forward to working with them
as we move forward with the next phases of development at East
Preston,” continued Mr. Klenman.
About East Preston:
Skyharbour and Dixie Gold entered into an Option
Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Azincourt whereby Azincourt has an
earn-in option to acquire a 70% working interest in a portion of
the Preston Uranium Project known as the East Preston Property.
Under the Agreement, Azincourt has issued common shares and will
contribute cash and exploration expenditure consideration totaling
up to CAD $3,500,000 in exchange for up to 70% of the applicable
property area over three years. Of the $3,500,000 in project
consideration, $1,000,000 will be in cash payments to Skyharbour
and Dixie Gold, as well as $2,500,000 in exploration expenditures
over the initial three-year period. Skyharbour and Dixie Gold
agreed to extend the deadline for the remaining obligations owing
to complete the acquisition of a 70% interest in the Project, which
include incurring a small portion of the exploration expenditures
remaining on the Project and completion of a final cash payment of
CAD $400,000 (see News Release dated April 16, 2020). The
deadline for these obligations was extended through until
March 31st, 2021 and in consideration for the extension, Azincourt
issued common shares to Skyharbour and Dixie Gold. Azincourt has
now completed the acquisition of the seventy percent interest in
the East Preston and Skyharbour retains a fifteen percent interest
in the joint venture.
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).

The Company owns a 100% interest in the South
Falcon Uranium Project on the eastern perimeter of the Basin which
contains a NI 43-101 inferred resource totaling 7.0 million pounds
of U3O8 at 0.03% and 5.3 million pounds of ThO2 at 0.023%.
Skyharbour has signed a Definitive Agreement with Australian
company Pitchblende Energy, which is being acquired by ASX-listed
Valor Resources, on the North Falcon Uranium Project whereby
Pitchblende can earn-in 80% of the project through $3,500,000 in
