Terms of the Optioned Property:
The Optioned Property, Highway, consists of nine
(9) mineral claims comprising approximately 17,606 hectares.
Hatchet may acquire an 80% interest in the Optioned Property by (i)
issuing common shares in the capital of Hatchet (“Shares”) having
an aggregate value of CAD $1,050,000; (ii) making aggregate cash
payments of CAD $245,000; and (iii) incurring an aggregate of CAD
$2,050,000 in exploration expenditures on the Optioned Property
over a three-year period, as follows:

TOTAL |
$245,000 |
$2,050,000 |
$1,050,000 |
(1) Deemed pricing of Shares is based on the
twenty (20) day volume weighted average price on the stock exchange
in which Hatchet shall list its Shares for trading, being either
the TSX Venture Exchange or the Canadian Securities Exchange
(“Deemed Price”) or the last sale price, if not listed on a stock
exchange at the time of issuance.
In the event that the issuance of any Shares
pursuant to the above would result in the Company holding 10% or
more of the outstanding Shares of Hatchet, Hatchet will issue that
number of Shares which would result in the Company receiving 9.9%
of the issued and outstanding Shares post-issuance and will pay
cash in lieu of the Shares for the difference.
The Company shall retain a 2% net smelter
returns royalty from minerals mined and removed from the Optioned
Property, of which Hatchet may purchase one-half, being 1%, at any
time for $1,000,000.
Terms of the Purchased Property:
The Purchased Property consists of twenty-five
(25) mineral claims comprising approximately 66,358 hectares across
the Genie, Usam and CBX/Shoe projects. Hatchet has acquired a 100%
interest in the Purchased Property by, on the date of closing (the
“Closing Date”), paying the Company $25,000 and issuing to the
Company such number of Units in the capital of Hatchet equal to
9.9% of the issued and outstanding shares immediately following the
issuance. Each Hatchet Unit shall be comprised of one Share and one
share purchase warrant, entitling Skyharbour to purchase one
additional Share for a period of three years at a price that is a
25% premium to the deemed value of the Shares in both years 1 and
2, and then increases to a 50% premium to the issuance value of the
Shares in year 3.
The Company shall retain a claw-back provision
whereby, within 90 days after the 3rd anniversary of the Closing
Date, the Company may elect by written notice to Hatchet of its
intention to purchase back a twenty-five percent (25%) interest in
the Purchased Property by, within 90 days of delivery of such
notice, incurring exploration expenditures or paying cash in lieu
of to fund future exploration, equivalent to fifty percent (50%) of
the total amount that Hatchet had spent during the term that is
three years from the Closing Date in exploration expenditures on
the Purchased Property. If Hatchet has not incurred any exploration
expenditures during the three years following the closing date,
then Skyharbour shall automatically receive the 25% interest in the
Property.
The Company shall also retain a 2% net smelter
returns royalty from minerals mined and removed from the Purchased
Property, of which Hatchet may purchase one-half, being 1%, at any
time for $2,000,000.
One of the conditions precedent for Hatchet
prior to closing on both agreements was to close a financing for
minimum gross proceeds of $1,500,000 which is now complete.
Furthermore, Hatchet will proceed to list on the TSX Venture
Exchange or the Canadian Securities Exchange or will have sold its
interest to or combined with a similarly listed issuer. If this is
not complete within 18 months, Hatchet’s right to acquire the
Purchased Property will terminate. If after 12 months Hatchet has
not listed then it shall pay Skyharbour a monthly fee of $10,000
until such conditions are satisfied or an aggregate of $60,000 has
been paid, whichever occurs first.
Highway Property Summary:
The Highway Uranium Project consists of
nine claims covering 17,606 hectares, approximately 41 km
south of the Rabbit Lake Mine and 11 km southwest of Uranium Energy
Corp.’s (UEC, formerly UEX) West Bear U and Co-Ni Deposits. Highway
905 runs through the property, providing excellent access for
exploration and the project is in close proximity to regional
infrastructure. There has been limited modern exploration carried
out on the project but there is the potential for high-grade
basement-hosted and unconformity-related uranium
mineralization.
Highway Property
Map:https://skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/Sky_Highway.jpg
The project is underlain by Wollaston Supergroup
metasedimentary gneisses (pelitic to psammopelitic and psammitic to
meta-arkosic) folded around and overlying an Archean felsic gneiss
dome which outcrops in the southwestern portion of the property and
cores a northeast trending antiformal fold nose. The Highway
Project is located approximately 7 km east of the present-day
margin of the Athabasca Basin but is believed to have been covered
by Athabasca sandstone in the past.
Genie Property Summary:
The Genie property consists of five claims
totalling 16,930 ha, and is located approximately 48 km northeast
of Cameco’s Eagle Point Uranium Mine (Rabbit Lake Operation) and 40
km north of Wollaston Lake Post. The project is underlain by
Wollaston Superground metasedimentary gneisses and Archean
granitoids, with highly prospective pelitic to psammopelitic
gneisses (including graphitic varieties) and several north-trending
faults related to the Tabbernor fault system being mapped on the
property. The project lies outside the current extent of the
Athabasca Basin, but is believed to have been overlain by
now-eroded Athabasca sandstones in the past and has the potential
for high-grade basement-hosted and unconformity-related uranium
mineralization. The property is underlain by a series of linear
magnetic highs (interpreted as granitoids) and magnetic lows
(interpreted as metasedimentary gneisses), cross-cut by a highly
magnetic northwest-trending Mackenzie Diabase dyke.
Genie Property
Map:https://skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/Sky_Genie.jpg
Previous work on the Genie project includes
limited diamond drilling (three historical drill holes, of which
one was abandoned in overburden) and a variety of airborne and
ground geophysical surveys, prospecting, geological mapping, lake
sediment and overburden sampling, and soil sampling. Most of this
exploration work took place between 1966 to 1980, prior to the
advent of modern geophysical methods and geological models, but in
2014 part of the Genie property was covered by a helicopter-borne
DIGHEM magnetic, electromagnetic, and radiometric survey. The
survey showed a strong central EM conductor following a
magnetically inferred contact on the two northeastern most claims,
which is locally disrupted by several moderately conductive N-S
trending structural breaks, inferred to be faults. This strong
conductor is highly prospective for uranium mineralization, and
drilling done in 1969 and 1971 has confirmed the presence of
graphitic and sulfide-containing pelitic gneisses on the property.
Lake sediment samples also collected at Genie during the 2014
exploration program, contained up to 63.3 ppm U, further showcasing
the prospectivity of the property.
Usam Property Summary:
The Usam Project consists of twelve claims
totalling 40,041 ha and is located approximately 16 km northeast of
Cameco’s Eagle Point Mine (Rabbit Lake Operation). The project has
numerous EM conductors that are associated with significant
magnetic lows of the Wollaston Domain. While the project is outside
the current confines of the Athabasca Basin, the area was overlain
by Athabasca sandstones historically. Basement rocks on the
property include Wollaston Supergroup metasediments and Archean
granitoid gneisses, with highly prospective pelitic to
psammopelitic gneisses (including graphitic varieties) making up
the largest proportion of the basement rocks. Several
north-trending faults related to the Tabbernor fault system
cross-cut the property.
Usam Property
Map:https://skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/Sky_Usam.jpg
Previous work on the project includes diamond
drilling (12 holes), lake sediment sampling, soil sampling,
geological mapping, ground and airborne geophysics, marine seismic,
prospecting, and other geochemical sampling, the majority of which
was done in the 1980’s and 1970’s. Modern exploration of the
property has been limited to geophysics and ground prospecting. As
such there is a significant untested potential on the project.
Trenching on Cleveland Island uncovered up to 0.31% U3O8 in
mineralized pegmatite, and diamond drilling on Gilles Island
intersected anomalous uranium, indicating that the basement rocks
underling the Usam property are fertile sources of uranium in
addition to containing pegmatite- and granite-hosted U-Th-REE
mineralization. There are also several sedimentary-hosted base
metals (i.e. Cu and Zn) showings on the project and in the
surrounding area, which show similarities to the sedimentary-hosted
Cu mineralization previously discovered by Rio Tinto and its
partners at the Janice Lake Project further southwest in the
Wollaston Domain.
CBX/Shoe Property Summary:
The CBX property has been recently expanded
through staking to include five additional claims adjoining
the previously staked CBX and Shoe properties, which have been
combined to include a total of seven claims covering 8,777
hectares. The 609 ha Shoe property has remained unchanged, with
both CBX and Shoe now consisting of eight non-contiguous claims
totalling 9,386 hectares.
CBX/Shoe Property
Map:https://skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/Sky_Shoe.jpg
The new claims lie approximately 6.5 km to 25 km
northeast of the Eagle Point uranium mine and cover the northern
shore of Wollaston Lake including parts of Cunning Bay. Outcrop
exposure on the property is poor, but historical mapping and
drilling shows that the newly expanded CBX project is underlain by
a mixture of Wollaston Supergroup metasedimentary gneisses,
Hudsonian intrusives, and Archean felsic gneisses of the Western
Wollaston Domain. Similar lithologies host uranium mineralization
at the Rabbit Lake operation, including the Eagle Point deposit,
and other uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin and surrounding
regions. The CBX and Shoe properties have had historical
exploration, including airborne and ground geophysical surveys,
lake sediment, soil, and spruce geochemical surveys, till sampling,
prospecting, geological mapping, and a marine seismic survey, but
the majority of this work took place in the 1960’s to 1980’s, with
limited modern exploration work being carried out on a small
portion of the CBX and Shoe properties.
Grant of Incentive Stock Options:
Skyharbour also announces that the Company has
granted 3,500,000 incentive stock options (the "Options") to
officers, directors and consultants of the Company. The Options are
exercisable at $0.40 per share for a period of five years from the
date of grant. The Options have been granted under and are governed
by the terms of the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan.

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
companies complete their entire earn-ins at the respective
projects.
