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’, previously Tisdale Clean Energy) has announced the mobilization of crew and equipment at the South Falcon East Uranium Project which hosts the Fraser Lakes B Uranium Deposit. The South Falcon Project lies 18km outside the edge of the Athabasca Basin, approximately 50 km East of the Key Lake uranium mill and former mine. Skyharbour optioned the Project to Terra and under the Option Agreement assuming the 75% interest is earned, Terra 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.

Mobilization of crew and equipment has commenced for an extensive winter drill program consisting of up to 2,500 meters of drilling. The field program will be executed by Terralogic Exploration Inc. under the supervision of Brett Lavigne, Project Manager with TerraLogic Exploration and C. Trevor Perkins, VP of Exploration for Terra Clean Energy Corp.
Terra’s inaugural drill program in early 2024 (news release dated April 1, 2024) at South Falcon East 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 the Fraser Lakes B deposit 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 deposit.
The priority of the Winter 2025 program 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. Modeling of the existing data indicates the presence of a north-northwest trending structure crosscutting the way Lake conductor through the Fraser Lakes B deposit. The presence of this structural intersection with the Way Lake conductor and structure bodes well for a scenario where remobilized uranium mineralization can be concentrated at this area resulting in a higher-grade zone within the overall deposit. Efforts will be made to locate and characterize this structural trap and test the model as this is the best scenario for a high-grade unconformity related basement hosted uranium deposit.

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% U 3 O 8 and 0.112% ThO 2 over 2.0 metres at 135.0 metres depth within a broader interval containing 0.103% U 3 0 8 and 0.062% ThO 2 over 6.0 metres at a depth of 134.5 m, and a second high grade intercept of 0.172% U 3 O 8 and 0.113% ThO 2 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.
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% U 3 O 8 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 Millennium 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.
‘We are very happy to be getting back on the ground at South Falcon East and continue what we started in 2024’, commented Trevor Perkins, VP Exploration for Terra Clean Energy Corp. ‘We are eager to expand the existing deposit as well as characterize and explore the identified north-northwest structure and related complexity’ continued Mr. Perkins. ‘This is presenting the ideal structural scenario where uranium sourced from the mineralized pegmatites and surrounding rock can be concentrated and give us a high-grade basement deposit. This has been seen at other deposits, and we want to find it here.’
‘We have a unique and exceptional exploration opportunity that includes continuing to expand the Fraser Lakes B Uranium Deposit which is open in all directions and at depth as well as pursuing high-grade basement hosted uranium deposits.’ ‘The team is very excited about the prospects identified and eager to unlock the abundance of value for shareholders.’
South Falcon East Project Summary:
The South Falcon East Project is a uranium exploration project in the southeast Athabasca Basin and covers approximately 12,464 hectares. It lies 18 kilometres outside the Athabasca Basin, approximately 50 kilometres east of the Key Lake Mine. Historical exploration at the South Falcon East Project identified an area of U-Th-REE mineralization at the Fraser Lakes Zone B over an area comprising 1.5 km by 0.5 km along an antiformal fold nose cut by an east-west dextral ductile-brittle cross-structure adjacent to a 65 km long EM conductor.
