Skyharbour Commences Exploration and Mobilizes for Upcoming Drill Program at its High Grade Moore Uranium Project, Saskatchewan

Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:SYH) (OTCQB:SYHBF) (Frankfurt:SC1P) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that mobilization has begun for its 2021 geophysical and diamond drilling programs at its flagship 35,705 hectare Moore Uranium Project, located approximately 15 kilometres east of Denison Mine's Wheeler River project and near regional infrastructure on the southeast side of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan . The Company has planned a 9 km Small Moving Loop EM (SML-EM) geophysical program to refine additional drill targets and has begun mobilization of drilling equipment for a subsequent 3,000 metre diamond drilling program consisting of 10 to 12 drill holes. These fully funded and permitted programs will focus on following-up on existing unconformity and basement-hosted targets along the high grade Maverick structural corridor as well as identifying new targets at the Grid Nineteen area.

Jordan Trimble , President and CEO of Skyharbour Resources, states: "We have been very pleased with the results to date at the Maverick East Zone, and we will continue to focus on the expansion of this high grade mineralized zone. The uranium mineralization identified during previous drill programs illustrates the strong discovery potential at Moore and recent geophysical programs and new geological modeling have encouraged the Company to develop new regional drill targets in areas such as Grid Nineteen. Outside of our Moore Project, Skyharbour's partner companies have been advancing some of our other projects. Azincourt is currently conducting a minimum 2,000 metre diamond drilling program at the East Preston Project and at our Hook Lake Project (previously called North Falcon Point), Valor Resources has begun planning for their upcoming exploration programs including airborne geophysics and ground-based exploration in the summer. The uranium market has shown notable signs of recovery with increasing equity valuations and improving sentiment, and this recovery appears to be accelerating."

Winter 2021 Geophysical and Diamond Drilling Programs at the Moore Uranium Project:

Skyharbour will continue to systematically explore and drill test the Moore Lake property this year. As part of this work, a 9 line-km SML-EM survey has been planned for a previously untested area called Grid Nineteen located between the Rarotonga and East Venice conductors. The focus of this work will be to better define the historic airborne EM conductors in this area and develop drill targets on these conductor systems.

Mobilization for a planned 3,000 metre diamond drilling program, consisting of 10 to 12 holes, will take place concurrently with the geophysical program. The drilling will focus on both unconformity and basement-hosted targets along the Maverick structural corridor and new targets identified in the Grid Nineteen area. The Company specifically plans to expand the high grade mineralization discovered recently at the Maverick East Zone, along strike, down-plunge and at depth with a focus on basement-hosted mineralization. Other targets along the 4.7 km long Maverick structural corridor will be investigated, including the Esker Target, again with a focus on basement-hosted mineralization.

Maverick East Target:

The high grade Maverick East Zone has been identified over a minimum of 170 metres strike length. It is currently a minimum of 10 metres wide, it is open down dip and it is up to 17.9 metres thick with grades of up to 9.12% U 3 O 8 with a minimum grade of 0.1% U 3 O 8 . The mineralization is accompanied by intense clay alteration, geochemical enrichment of pathfinder elements such as B, Ni and Cu, with the localized high grade uranium mineralization extending from the unconformity into the basement rocks. The mineralized zone appears to plunge moderately to the northeast. In the eastern extent of the Maverick East Zone, copper values of up to 2.3% Cu were obtained from graphitic, clay-rich fractures within a broader zone of uranium-enriched and clay-altered granitic pegmatite and granite nearly 100 metres below the unconformity. This may be an important vector for additional basement-hosted mineralization. Some of the better drill hole intersections in the Maverick East Zone include ML-202, which returned 1.79% U 3 O 8 over 11.5 metres, including 4.17% U 3 O 8 over 4.5 metres and 9.12% U 3 O 8 over 1.4 metres, as well as recently announced hole ML20-09, which returned 0.72% U 3 O 8 over 17.5 metres from 271.5 metres to 289.0 metres, including 1.00% U 3 O 8 over a 10.0 metre interval in the basement portion of the interval (279.0 metres to 289.0 metres). The focus for future drilling in this area will be on the down-dip, along strike and down-plunge extensions of the Maverick East target.

Maverick Structural Corridor - Northeast Extension and Esker Targets:

Drilling to the northeast of the Main Maverick and Maverick East mineralized zones will be within the remaining 2.2 km of the Maverick Structural Corridor. A large portion of this trend has been tested by a series of broadly spaced drill holes and fences with significant untested gaps. Virtually all the holes exhibited extensive sandstone and basement alteration as well as geochemical enrichment similar to that found within the Main Maverick and Maverick East Zones. Narrow intercepts of uranium mineralization have been identified in numerous locations along this portion of the Maverick corridor. Many of these mineralized intercepts occur at the unconformity, but in a few key areas significant strongly altered basement structures within prospective graphitic and metasedimentary units are the host for this mineralization with only limited drilling of the basement rocks at depth.

The Esker Target lies at the northeastern limits of the Maverick Structural Corridor. Of note from historic drilling in this area is the anomalous uranium in drill hole MT-04 which returned up to 170 ppm U in the basal 3.0 metres of sandstone and up to 343 ppm U in the top 5.5 metres of the basement rock. The uranium is accompanied by anomalous amounts of pathfinder elements including Ni, Co, Cu, Pb, and Zn. Follow-up of the anomalous uranium mineralization has been limited with the next closest hole MT-10 (also with anomalous U in the sandstone) located 120 metres to the south. Further south in the Esker area, weak uranium mineralization was intersected in historical hole ML-165 (1.0 metre of 0.307% U 3 O 8 from 291.85 metres to 292.85 metres), hole ML-169 (1.5 metres of 0.070% U 3 O 8 at 287.25 metres to 288.75 metres), and hole ML-171 (0.5 metres of 0.160% U 3 O 8 from 296.2 to 296.7 metres). Drilling will follow-up on the anomalous uranium encountered in historical holes MT-04 and MT-10 where there has been very limited investigation and follow-up work along trend.

Grid Nineteen Geophysical Program:

A review of historical airborne EM has identified several conductive features in an area located between the East Venice and Rarotonga conductor systems that warrant follow-up groundwork. The airborne conductors lie in a structurally complex area that bridges a break in the east trending Venice East conductive system and the north trending Rarotonga conductors. A total of 9 line km of survey is planned to utilize 200 metre loops in a moving array. The program was designed and will be interpreted by Bingham Geoscience of Saskatoon . The survey is being conducted by Patterson Mining Geophysics of La Ronge . Both Bingham and Patterson have been active in uranium exploration of the Athabasca Basin for over 35 years and have a wealth of experience in the district.

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 . The project consists of 12 contiguous claims totaling 35,705 hectares located 42 kilometres northeast of the Key Lake mill, approximately 15 kilometres east of Denison's Wheeler River project, and 39 kilometres south of Cameco's McArthur River uranium mine. Unconformity style uranium mineralization was discovered on the Moore Project at the Maverick Zone in May 2000 . Historical drill results include 4.03% eU 3 O 8 over 10.0 metres including 20% eU 3 O 8 over 1.4 metres. In 2017, Skyharbour announced drill results of 6.0% U 3 O 8 over 5.9 metres including 20.8% U 3 O 8 over 1.5 metres at a vertical depth of 265.0 metres at the Maverick Zone. 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 easily accessible by air and in winter via ice roads which simplifies logistics and lowers costs.

Baselode Doubles Drill Program for Catharsis Uranium Project

Baselode Doubles Drill Program for Catharsis Uranium Project

  • The drill program will double in size to 4,000 metres
  • Three new target areas will be added
  • Baselode is seeking another grassroots discovery on Catharsis
  • Early drilling has encountered anomalous radioactivity, strong alteration, and encouraging redox-style alteration within brittle structures

Baselode Energy Corp. (TSXV: FIND) (OTCQB: BSENF) ("Baselode" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it will increase the ongoing drill program on the Catharsis uranium project ("Catharsis") to 4,000 metres. Early drilling has shown encouraging signs that warrant the additional investment.

"Our first drill hole of this program intersected anomalous radioactivity* within a structural corridor at a favourable lithologic contact. These are important similarities with other uranium deposits. Subsequent drill holes followed the radioactivity up-dip (Figure 3) and intersected quartz-hematite oxidized fluid systems with redox-style and clay alteration characteristics reminiscent of high-grade uranium deposits (see Figures 4, 5 & 6). We will continue drilling the target area down-dip of the radioactivity, and along strike from it. We are encouraged by the results and have decided to increase our Program. We will drill more target areas than previously announced to test for near-surface, high-grade uranium deposits," stated James Sykes, CEO, President, and Director of Baselode.
