Project. Under the Option Agreement, Basin Uranium Corp will
contribute cash and exploration expenditure consideration totalling
CAD $4,850,000 over a three-year period (“Project Consideration”).

(52.5%) with partners Denison Mines (30%) and Orano (17.5%).
Denison Mines acquired International Enexco and its 30% interest in
the project after a 2014 winter drill program discovered
high-grade, basement-hosted uranium mineralization at this adjacent
project.

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 fifteen projects, ten of which are drill-ready,
covering over 450,000 hectares 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
historical high-grade 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 a joint-venture with
industry-leader Orano Canada Inc. at the Preston Project whereby
Orano has earned a 51% interest in the project through exploration

interest in the Project. Skyharbour also has a joint venture with
Azincourt Energy at the East Preston Project whereby Azincourt has
earned a 70% interest in the project through exploration
expenditures, cash payments and share issuance. Skyharbour now owns
a 15% interest in the Project. Preston and East Preston are large,
geologically prospective properties proximal to Fission Uranium's
Triple R deposit as well as NexGen Energy's Arrow deposit.
Furthermore, the Company owns a 100% interest in the South Falcon
Point 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 several active option partners
including: ASX-listed Valor Resources on the Hook Lake Uranium
Project whereby Valor can earn-in 80% of the project through CAD
$3,500,000 in exploration expenditures, $475,000 in cash payments
over three years and an initial share issuance; CSE-listed Basin
Uranium Corp. on the Mann Lake Uranium Project whereby Basin
Uranium can earn-in 75% of the project through $4,000,000 in
exploration expenditures, $850,000 in cash payments as well as
share issuances over three years; and CSE-listed Medaro Mining
Corp. on the Yurchison Project whereby Medaro can earn-in an
initial 70% of the project through $5,000,000 in exploration
expenditures, $800,000 in cash payments as well as share issuances
over three years followed by the option to acquire the remaining
30% of the project through a payment of $7,500,000 in cash and
