Project Summary:
Skyharbour has staked two additional claims totalling 6,350 hectares at its Carter North Project, increasing the property to twelve claims totalling 42,742 hectares. The project is located in the western Athabasca Basin, adjacent to Cameco’s North Williams Project, approximately 35 kilometres northeast of NexGen Energy’s Arrow Deposit and 164 kilometres north of the community of La Loche. The project is underlain by the Athabasca Basin sandstones and conglomerates overlying the Tantano Domain. The property covers interpreted extensions of the Patterson Lake, Derkson and Carter conductive corridors and is located along strike to the northeast of the Arrow and Triple R deposits.
The project area has undergone a variety of historical exploration programs periodically between 1969 and 2023, consisting mostly of airborne radiometrics, EM (Input, GEOTEM, MEGATEM, ZTEM, and Mobile MT), ground gravity surveying, as well as prospecting, soil sampling, lake sediment sampling and boulder sampling. Two historical drill holes were completed on the property, only one of which (BL-08-01) intersected the sandstone-basement unconformity. This hole returned 155 ppb Au over 0.5 metres in a sample collected immediately above the basal unconformity within Athabasca sandstone (SMDI 3075). This gold anomaly is considered significant, as gold enrichment can be associated with unconformity-related uranium mineralizing systems in the Athabasca Basin.
In addition, a historical lake sediment geochemical survey completed in 1980 reported a highly anomalous uranium value of 240 ppm U in sample SLB-80-69 (AF 74K02-0013), collected at a reconnaissance scale of approximately one sample per square kilometre, confirming a strong uranium anomaly on the property.
The most recent exploration work conducted on the Carter North property consisted of a MobileMT survey in 2023, which detected numerous basement conductors on the Carter North property, including trends interpreted as extensions of the Patterson Lake, Carter, and Derksen trends, which are host to some of the world's highest-grade uranium deposits to the southwest along trend, including the Arrow and Triple R uranium deposits.
