29.01.2015 | Marketwired
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired - Jan 29, 2015) - Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SYH ) (OTC GREY:SYHBF)(FRANKFURT:SC1N) (the "Company") is pleased to announce it has recently staked an additional 6,425 hectares of prospective land in three claims attached to its 100% owned Way Lake Uranium Project via cost-effective online staking. The new, entire property package will be renamed the Falcon Point Uranium Project ("the Property"). Located 60 km east of the Key Lake Mill, these new acquisitions are part of the Company's objective to stake highly prospective ground in the Athabasca Basin region close to the basin margin and thus targeting mineralization that is shallow, basement-hosted and high grade. These claims enhance Skyharbour's current portfolio of uranium properties and further bolster the Company's presence on the east side of the basin.<

The Falcon Point Property (formerly Way Lake property) now covers 79,003 hectares on the east side of the Basin and is winter road accessible. A NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate was released in 2012 on the Property for the JNR Fraser Lakes Zone B deposit consisting of 7.0 million pounds U3O8 inferred at an average grade of 0.03% U3O8 and 5.3 million pounds ThO2 inferred at an average grade of 0.023% ThO2 within 10.4 million tonnes using a cutoff grade of 0.01% U3O8. At the north end of the Property at the Hook Lake target, high grade mineralization had been discovered with up to 48% U3O8 in historic grab samples from a massive pitchblende vein. The source of this high grade uranium mineralization has yet to be determined.

Skyharbour is planning a winter drill program on the Falcon Point Uranium Project which will be the Company's first work program on the Property since acquiring it from Denison Mines in the summer of 2014. Skyharbour has received a recommendations report for additional work and drilling on the project from its geological team and a final program is being formulated. This program will focus on diamond drilling high-priority targets including areas in and around the current uranium/thorium resource at the JNR Fraser Lakes target. Exploratory drilling to vector in on the source of the 48% U3O8 grab sample at the Hook Lake target is also being considered.
Non-Brokered Private Placement:
Skyharbour also announces that it has arranged a non-brokered private placement of up to 10,000,000 units (the "Unit") at a price of $0.05 per unit to raise proceeds of up to $500,000. Each Unit consists of one common share and one non-transferable share purchase warrant (the "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share for a period of five years at a price of $0.075 per share. The Company intends to utilize the proceeds from this private placement for further property exploration and for general working capital purposes.
A finder's fee of up to 7% cash and 7% non-transferable warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") may be paid in connection with part of this private placement. Each Finder's Warrant will entitle the finder to purchase a common share at a price of $0.075 per share for a period of five years from the closing date of the private placement.
The private placement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance.
