Skyharbour's Partner Company Valor Resources Commences Diamond Drilling at the Hook Lake Uranium Project, Saskatchewan

Skyharbour Resources Ltd.'s (TSX-V: SYH ) (OTCQB: SYHBF ) (Frankfurt: SC1P ) (the "Company") partner company Valor Resources Limited ("Valor") is pleased to announce the commencement of a maiden diamond drilling program at the Hook Lake Uranium Project. The Hook Lake Project is located in the world class uranium jurisdiction, the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada.

Hook Lake (Formally North Falcon Point) Project: https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/maps/Sky_HookLake_20211209.jpg

Highlights:

  • 2,500m diamond drilling program has commenced at the Hook Lake Uranium Project
  • Drilling to test the extent of uranium mineralisation at the S-Zone which included up to 59.2% U 3 O 8 in rock chip samples at surface
  • Program will include testing of the V-Grid, a geochemical and structural target
  • An airborne gravity survey over Hook Lake is scheduled to commence in April 2022

Hook Lake Drill Program:

The Hook Lake Project Diamond Drilling program will consist of approximately 2,500m targeted primarily at the S-Zone target but also including holes at the V-Grid target.

Valor's Executive Chairman, George Bauk, commented: "Following the 2021 exploration program which included on ground field work, various airborne surveys and a review of historical data, Valor is excited to commence drilling at the Hook Lake Project. The Hook Lake project has many prospective uranium targets with the team prioritising the S-Zone and the V-Grid as the initial two areas of focus. The focus is to target various geological features in and around the S-Zone to locate mineralisation at depth."

The S-Zone target has known surface mineralisation with results from Valor's 2021 field program highlighting up to 59.2% U 3 O 8 in rock chip samples (see news release dated August 31 st , 2021 and titled "Skyharbour Partner Company Valor Announces High-Grade Sample Results from Hook Lake Project Field Program").

Mr. Bauk continued: "Major economies are looking to nuclear energy as a low carbon solution as part of the overall global target to reduce global emissions. China has announced a US$440 billion program to build 150 new reactors, France and Britain intend to build more reactors and Japan is in the process of reopening its nuclear power plants. These activities will drive demand up and will have a positive impact on the future price of uranium. Valor is focused on uranium exploration in the Athabasca Basin of Canada as it has the highest grades of uranium in the world. Valor has raised over AUD $5M recently and funds are to be used for exploration activities in Canada."

About the Hook Lake (previously North Falcon Point) Project:

The Hook Lake Uranium Project is located 60 km east of the Key Lake Uranium Mine in northern Saskatchewan. Skyharbour signed a Definitive Agreement with Valor on the Hook Lake Uranium Project whereby Valor can earn-in 80% of the project through CAD $3,500,000 in total exploration expenditures, $475,000 in total cash payments over three years and an initial share issuance of 233,333,333 shares of Valor. Covering 25,846 hectares, the 16 contiguous mineral claims host several prospective areas of uranium mineralization including:

  • Hook Lake / Zone S - High-grade surface outcrop with reported grades in grab samples up to 68% U 3 O 8 ; a bio-geochemical survey carried out over the trenches in 2015 responded positively with along-strike anomalies 2 km to the northeast
  • Nob Hill - Fracture-controlled vein-type uranium mineralization on surface outcrop with up to 0.130% - 0.141% U 3 O 8 in grab samples; diamond drilling intersected anomalous uranium in several drill holes with values up to 422 ppm U over 0.5 m
  • West Way - Vein type U mineralization within a NE-trending shear zone; grab samples taken from the surface showing contained variable uranium values including up to 0.475% U 3 O 8 and drilling of the structure intersected the altered shear zone at depth, along with anomalous Cu, Ni, Co, As, V, U, & Pb
  • Grid T - Fracture-hosted secondary uranium mineralization in sheared calc-silicates and marbles in a 100 m x 20 m zone of anomalous radioactivity with grab samples having up to 800 ppm U
  • Alexander Lake Boulder Field - 30 biotite-quartz-k-feldspar pegmatite boulders NE of Alexander Lake; the best results include 360 ppm U, 1,400 ppm U and 1,600 ppm U respectively
  • Thompson Lake Boulder Field - Numerous radioactive boulders and blocks of pegmatized meta-arkose, pegmatite, and granite; the best value obtained was 738 ppm U from a granite boulder
  • NE Alexander Lake – Several calc-silicate, plagioclase-quartz granulite, quartzite, and meta-arkose boulders with up to 4,800 ppm U, 7,600 ppm Mo and 1,220 ppm Ni

The project area is in close proximity to two all-weather northern highways and grid power. Historical exploration has consisted of airborne and ground geophysics, multi-phased diamond drill campaigns, detailed geochemical sampling and surveys, and ground-based prospecting culminating in an extensive geological database for the project area.
