Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SYH)
(OTCQX: SYHBF) (Frankfurt:
SC1P) (“Skyharbour” or the “Company”) is pleased to
announce plans for fully-funded, upcoming drill programs at its
co-flagship Russell Lake and Moore Uranium Projects in 2025
totalling approx. 16,000 – 18,000 metres in 35 – 45 holes
representing the largest annual drill campaign ever carried out by
the Company.

At the 73,294 hectare Russell Lake Uranium
Project (“Russell”), which is majority owned by Skyharbour as
operator with minority joint-venture partner Rio Tinto Exploration
Canada Inc. (“RTEC”), the Company is planning 10,000 - 11,000
metres of diamond drilling in 18 to 20 holes. This drilling will
take place in multiple phases through the year, with mobilization
and commencement planned within the next few weeks. Following the
initial phase of drilling at Russell, Skyharbour plans to move the
drill rig over to its adjacent 100% owned, 35,705 hectare,
high-grade Moore Uranium Project (“Moore”) to complete the next
phase of drilling. The Company is planning to complete 5,000 –
7,000 metres of drilling at Moore throughout the year which will
consist of 18 to 24 holes. The combined 2025 drill campaign across
Skyharbour’s core projects is fully funded with the geologists and
drilling crews working out of the exploration camp at the Russell
Lake Project, located along the road servicing Cameco’s McArthur
River Uranium Mine.
Jordan Trimble, President and CEO of Skyharbour,
stated: “The upcoming commencement of drilling at Russell and Moore
marks the start of our most ambitious annual drilling campaign we
have ever carried out. The fully-funded 16-18,000-metre,
multi-phased program will provide steady news flow throughout the
year as we advance the projects using systematic and proven
exploration methodologies to follow up on the success of the 2024
drilling. We are confident in the exploration upside at both
projects given the high-grade mineralization in recent drilling
along with the many highly prospective target areas hosting the
geology necessary for high-grade uranium deposition. We also
benefit from low-cost drilling and relatively shallow target depths
at our Russell and Moore projects. Finally, Skyharbour will have
plenty of additional news flow and catalysts from its prospect
generator business consisting of partner companies advancing
several of our other projects throughout the Athabasca Basin. This
year, the Company is anticipating drilling and exploration at its
partner-funded projects of Preston, South Falcon East, Falcon,
South Dufferin, Highway and 914W.”
Upcoming Winter Phase of Diamond Drilling at
Russell Lake:
Skyharbour will soon commence its 2025 drilling
program at the Russell Lake Project with plans for a first phase
consisting of approx. 5,000 metres to follow up on notable recent
exploration success and to test new targets developed by the
geological team. The focus for this phase of drilling will be on
the Fork and Sphinx targets within the broader Grayling target
area, as well as the M-Zone Extension (“MZE”) target and the Fox
Lake Trail target. This initial winter program will consist of 10
to 12 drill holes, with most of the targets being road accessible
and near the exploration camp, bringing the drill costs down.
Further details on the drilling are forthcoming, and geochemical
assay results are pending from the drilling recently carried out in
late 2024 at Russell.
Russell Lake Project Target Areas:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/20240110-MainTargetsRussellLake2024.jpg
The Fork target is a newly identified target to
the southwest of the Grayling Zone and on-strike with Denison’s
M-Zone at their adjacent Wheeler River Project. Last year,
high-grade uranium was discovered at the Fork target in hole
RSL24-02, which returned a 2.5 metre wide intercept of 0.721% U3O8
at a relatively shallow depth of 338.1 metres, including approx.
3.0% U3O8 over 0.5 metres just above the unconformity in the
sandstone (see news release dated July 19th, 2024, titled:
“Skyharbour Drills New Discovery at Russell Project with High-Grade
Uranium Mineralization Up to 3.0% U3O8 at Newly Identified Fork
Zone”). This high-grade intercept is a new discovery which had very
limited historical exploration due to a lack of reliable
geophysical data and drill targets resulting from nearby powerline
interference. The mineralization is open in most directions,
including along strike, and will be a high-priority target for this
drill program.
Grayling and Fork Target Areas:

Skyharbour also plans to drill targets in the
M-Zone Extension area along trend from the Grayling Zone and
Denison’s M-Zone, where historical drilling intersected
basement-hosted uranium mineralization. More recent drilling by
Denison in 2020 at the M-Zone encountered uranium mineralization
with significant faulting, core loss, geochemical anomalies, and
radioactivity encountered in other drill holes. Like the Grayling
Zone, the mineralization at the MZE target is hosted by a graphitic
thrust fault within a significant magnetic low. It is also noted
that cross structures associated with Denison’s Phoenix and Gryphon
uranium deposits potentially trend onto the Russell Lake property
within the M-Zone Extension target area, further enhancing the
prospectivity of this target.

Upcoming Winter Phase of Diamond Drilling at
Moore:
Skyharbour plans to conduct a second phase of
drilling consisting of 3,000-3,500 metres in 9 to 12 holes at its
Moore Project upon completion of the initial phase of drilling at
Russell. Drilling at the Maverick Corridor will focus on
identifying new trends and extensions within untested portions of
its 4.7-kilometre strike length. Additional drilling is planned
within the Maverick Main and East Zones to concentrate on
refinement and expansion of the currently identified mineralized
zones. The Maverick Main Zone is characterized by basement- and
unconformity-hosted mineralization with a highlight interval
drilled previously by Skyharbour of 6.0% U3O8 over 5.9 metres
at 265 metres depth, including 20.8% U3O8 over 1.5 metres in
hole ML-199. More recently, Skyharbour announced a drill result
grading 4.61% U3O8 over 5.0m starting at 265.5m downhole,
including 3.0m of 7.30% U3O8 (see news release dated July 11th,
2024, titled: “Skyharbour Intersects 7.30% U3O8 over 3.0m within
5.0m of 4.61% U3O8 at High-Grade Moore Project”). Skyharbour is
planning to drill test other regional targets at the project as
well with further details on the drilling forthcoming.
Additionally, geochemical assay results are pending from the
drilling recently carried out in late 2024 at Moore.

Russell Lake Uranium Project
Overview:
The Russell Lake Project is a large,
advanced-stage uranium exploration property totalling 73,294
hectares strategically located between Cameco’s Key Lake and
McArthur River Projects, and adjoining Denison’s Wheeler River
Project to the west and Skyharbour’s Moore Uranium Project to the
east. The northern extension of Highway 914 between Key Lake and
McArthur River runs through the western extent of the property and
greatly enhances accessibility, while a high-voltage powerline is
situated alongside this road. Skyharbour’s acquisition of a
majority interest in Russell Lake creates a large, nearly
contiguous block of highly prospective uranium claims totalling
108,999 hectares between the Russell Lake and the Moore uranium
projects. Several notable exploration targets exist on Russell,
including the Grayling Zone, the M-Zone Extension target, the
Little Man Lake target, the Christie Lake target, the Fox Lake
Trail target and the newly identified Fork Zone target. More than
35 kilometres of largely untested prospective conductors in areas
of low magnetic intensity also exist on the Property. Skyharbour is
the operator and owns a majority interest in Russell Lake, having
formed a joint venture partnership with RTEC at the project.
Moore Uranium Project Overview:
The Moore project consists of 12 contiguous
claims totaling 35,705 hectares located 42 kilometres northeast of
the Key Lake mill, 15 kilometres east of Denison’s Wheeler River
project, and 39 kilometres south of Cameco’s McArthur River uranium
mine. Unconformity-style, high-grade uranium mineralization has
been discovered on the Moore Project along the Maverick conductive
corridor. In addition to the Maverick zones, 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, while most of the property is
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 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
