Skyharbour Resources
Ltd. (TSX-V:SYH)
(OTCQX:SYHBF)
(Frankfurt:SC1P) (the “Company”) is pleased to
announce that the Company has commenced a 2,500 metre summer drill
program at its 100% owned, 35,705 hectare high-grade Moore Uranium
Project. The project is located approximately 15 kilometres east of
Denison Mine’s Wheeler River project and proximal to regional
infrastructure for Cameco’s Key Lake and McArthur River operations
in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. The drill program has been
designed to expand and further characterize the high-grade Main
Maverick and Maverick East Zones, utilizing the existing Moore Lake
camp, with Skyharbour’s McGowan Lake camp at the Russell Lake
Project serving as a secondary base of operations. The Company is
fully funded and permitted for this drill program, as well as for
future drilling, including 4,000 – 5,000 metres to be drilled later
in the fall of 2024 at the adjacent Russell Lake project.

Highlights:
- Skyharbour’s summer drill program consisting of 2,500 metres in
seven to nine holes has commenced at the Moore Project
- The Company is fully funded and permitted for this drill
program and for an additional 4,000-5,000 metres of follow-up
drilling at the company’s adjacent Russell Lake project later this
fall
- Local infrastructure including the McArthur River Mine haul
road, powerlines and the McGowan Lake camp at Russell will help to
materially lower all-in drill costs
- The drilling at Moore will be focused on the Main Maverick and
Maverick East Zones to further expand, characterize and define the
extents of the mineralized zones
- These high-grade zones of uranium mineralization are relatively
shallow, between 250-280 metres from surface
- There remains expansion potential at both of the high-grade
Main Maverick and Maverick East Zones; furthermore, substantial
portions of the 4.7 kilometre long Maverick corridor remain to be
systematically drill-tested leaving robust discovery potential
along strike as well as at depth in the basement rocks
Jordan Trimble, President and CEO of Skyharbour,
stated: “We are excited to commence drilling again with plans to
carry out an initial program at Moore followed by a larger program
at Russell totalling 7,000-8,000 metres combined across both
projects. We have continued to expand the high-grade zones on the
Moore Project and will be drilling in this program to further
delineate the numerous zones of uranium on the Maverick Corridor
taking advantage of regional infrastructure to bring our costs
down. Furthermore, with the recent discovery of high-grade uranium
mineralization at Russell in the newly identified Fork Zone, this
has been a very successful year of drilling thus far for Skyharbour
with much more news to come at both Moore and Russell as well as at
the various partner-funded projects.”
Summer Diamond Drilling Program at
Moore:
Skyharbour has initiated another phase of
drilling, consisting of 2,500 metres in seven to nine drill holes,
at its high-grade Moore Project in the Athabasca Basin. The Company
is planning to focus on the Main Maverick and Maverick East Zones
to further expand, characterize and define the extents of the
high-grade uranium mineralization. Both of these high-grade zones
are potentially open along strike and at depth, with the basement
rock having significantly less historical drill testing. Numerous
additional regional targets exist elsewhere on the property,
including targets along the full extent of the Maverick Corridor,
which may be tested during this or future drilling programs on the
property.

Drilling at the Maverick Corridor is planned
within the Main Maverick and East Maverick Zones to further
delineate and expand the currently identified mineralized zones.
Recently completed modelling of the mineralized zones has
identified areas with potential to host additional high-grade
uranium mineralization, including between the two delineated zones,
which will be tested as part of the summer drill program.
The Main Maverick Zone is characterised by
high-grade basement- and unconformity-hosted uranium
mineralization, with a best interval drilled previously by
Skyharbour of 6.0% U3O8 over 5.9 metres at 265.0 metres depth,
including 20.8% U3O8 over 1.5 metres, in hole ML-199. A
highlight from the winter drill program completed earlier this year
was from hole ML24-08 which intersected 5.0 metres of 4.61%
U3O8 from a relatively shallow downhole depth of 265.5 metres
to 270.5 metres, including 10.19% U3O8 over 1.0 metres, at the
Main Maverick Zone.

At the Maverick East Zone, Skyharbour previously
drilled a high-grade uranium intercept of 1.79% U3O8 over 11.5
metres at 270.0 metres depth, including 4.17% U3O8 over 4.5
metres and 9.12% U3O8 over 1.4 metres in hole ML-202.
Moore Uranium Project Overview:
In June 2016, Skyharbour secured an option to
acquire Denison Mine's Moore Uranium Project, on the southeastern
side of the Athabasca Basin, in northern Saskatchewan and has
fulfilled its earn in. The project consists of 12 contiguous claims
totaling 35,705 hectares located 42 kilometres northeast of the Key
Lake mill, approx. 15 kilometres east of Denison’s Wheeler River
project, and 39 kilometres south of Cameco’s McArthur River uranium
mine. Unconformity-type uranium mineralization was discovered on
the Moore Project at the Maverick Zone in April 2001. Historical
drill highlights include 4.03% eU3O8 over 10 metres, including
20% eU3O8 over 1.4 metres, in ML-61. In 2017, Skyharbour
announced drill results of 6.0% U3O8 over 5.9 metres,
including 20.8% U3O8 over 1.5 metres at a vertical depth of
265 metres, in hole ML-199. In addition to the Maverick Zone, the
project hosts other mineralized targets with strong discovery
potential which the Company plans to test with future drill
programs. The project is fully accessible via winter and ice roads
which simplifies logistics and lowers costs. Large proportions of
the property are accessible in the summer as well.

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 twenty-nine projects, ten of which are
drill-ready, covering over 580,000 hectares (over 1.4 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 at the Maverick
Zone that returned drill results of up to 6.0% U3O8 over 5.9
metres including 20.8% U3O8 over 1.5 metres at a vertical
depth of 265 metres. Adjacent to the Moore Uranium Project is
Skyharbour’s recently optioned Russell Lake Uranium Project from
Rio Tinto, which hosts several high-grade uranium drill intercepts
over a large property area with robust exploration upside
potential. The Company is actively advancing these projects through
exploration and drill programs.
Skyharbour has joint-ventures with
industry-leader Orano Canada Inc., Azincourt Energy and Thunderbird
Resources (previously Valor) 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; CSE-listed Medaro Mining Corp. at
the Yurchison Project; North Shore Uranium at the Falcon Project;
and TSX-V listed Tisdale Clean Energy at the South Falcon East
Project which is host to the Fraser Lakes Zone B Uranium and
Thorium Deposit. In aggregate, Skyharbour has now signed earn-in
option agreements with partners that total to over $33 million in
partner-funded exploration expenditures, over $27 million worth of
shares being issued and over $20 million in cash payments coming
into Skyharbour, assuming that these partner companies complete
their entire earn-ins at the respective projects.
Skyharbour's goal is to maximize shareholder
value through new mineral discoveries, committed long-term
partnerships, and the advancement of exploration projects in
geopolitically favourable jurisdictions.
