Uranium exploration projects expanded by Skyharbour to cover approximately 616,000 hectares across thirty-seven sites within the Athabasca Basin, located in Northern Saskatchewan.
Skyharbour Resources Ltd, a uranium exploration company, has expanded its presence in northern Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin by acquiring 21 new uranium exploration claims, increasing its total land position to 616,939 hectares across 37 projects [1][2][3].
One of the significant newly staked claims is the Haultain Project, spanning 6,607 hectares. This project is known for its high uranium potential, as indicated by historical geophysical survey programs in the southwestern part of the property, which revealed the presence of EM conductors [4].
Another noteworthy project is the Bonville Project, consisting of a single newly staked claim totalling 1,497 hectares and located approximately 60 km south of Cameco's Key Lake Operation [5].
The Foster Project stands out for its historical significance, with the Great Plains Showing and Red October Zone. Historic samples from these areas showed high uranium (up to 657 ppm) and rare earth element mineralization (6,644 ppm total rare earth elements) [2].
In addition to these newly staked claims, Skyharbour also acquired a 100% interest in the Moore Uranium Project from Denison Mines, located 15 km east of Denison’s Wheeler River project and 39 km south of Cameco’s McArthur River mine [6].
Skyharbour continues to focus on its co-flagship Russell Lake and Moore uranium projects while incorporating the newly acquired claims into its prospect generator business model, actively seeking strategic partners through earn-in and joint venture agreements to advance these assets [1][3].
Here's a summary of the key newly acquired uranium projects by Skyharbour Resources Ltd in northern Saskatchewan:
| Project Name | Size (hectares) | Notable Features | |------------------|-----------------|------------------------------------------------------| | Haultain Project | 6,607 | High uranium potential | | Bonville Project | 1,497 | High uranium potential | | Foster Project | Not specified | Contains Great Plains Showing and Red October Zone; historic samples with high uranium and rare earth mineralization | | Moore Project | Not newly staked but acquired 100% interest from Denison Mines | Located near Wheeler River and McArthur River mine |
These acquisitions significantly expand Skyharbour’s uranium exploration portfolio in the Athabasca Basin, recognised globally for its high-grade uranium deposits [1][2][3].
Other projects include the Elevator Project, Pendleton Project, Otter Project, and a series of early-stage exploration properties known as the Bend, Hartle, Regamble, and Compulsion projects. Each of these projects offers unique potential and is underlain by various rock types, as revealed by historical mapping and geophysical surveys [4][7][8].
