1. Ownership and Share Structure Information

The information listed above was updated on the date this article was published and was compiled from information from the company and various other data providers.

Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (SYH:TSX.V; SYHBF:OTCQX; SC1P:FSE) announced that partner company Terra Clean Energy Corp. (TCEC:CSE; TCEFF:OTC; C900:FSE) is gearing up to launch a comprehensive drill program to follow up on encouraging 2025 drill results at the Fraser Lakes B Uranium Deposit at the South Falcon East Project in the southeast Athabasca Basin, according to an April 30 release.

Under the terms of the option agreement with Skyharbour, Terra is committed to funding exploration expenditures totaling CA$10.5 million and paying Skyharbour CA$11.1 million in cash, with an option to settle CA$6.5 million of this in Terra's shares over the earn-in period.

The upcoming drill program, scheduled for the late summer of 2026, aims to conduct up to 2,500 meters of drilling to explore a specific area identified during the winter 2025 program where several geological features suggestive of high-grade uranium mineralization converge, Skyharbour said. These features include a north-northwest trending brittle structure, a north-dipping structure with significant clay alteration, and mineralized pegmatites with hydrothermal hematite alteration within graphitic pelitic gneiss.

"It is generally accepted that for higher-grade uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin there are several key indicators: graphitic metasediments, brittle reactivated basement structures, reducing fluid (indicated by clay alteration), and oxidizing fluid (indicated by hematite alteration, transports uranium)," Skyharbour said in the release. "All these features have now been identified in the Fraser Lakes B Summer Target Area. Where they are projected to intercept is considered a top-priority target area for the discovery of a higher-grade, unconformity-related basement hosted uranium deposit and additional mineralized pegmatites."

The planned drilling operations, project to cost CA$1.75 million, will be helicopter-supported, involving seven to 10 diamond drill holes targeting an area approximately 120 to 150 meters north of the drill holes completed during the winter program, according to Skyharbour. The field program is expected to kick off in mid to late August and will be conducted by Terralogic Exploration Inc., under the guidance of their team and Terra Vice President of Exploration C. Trevor Perkins.

"We are excited to get back in there and test where the clay alteration intersects the mineralized zone and graphitic sediment package," Perkins said. "This is an exciting target as it can bring together many of the key features associated with the known basement hosted unconformity deposits in and around the Athabasca Basin."

The South Falcon East Project, part of Skyharbour’s former Falcon Point Project, spans approximately 12,464 hectares, the release noted. Located about 18 kilometers outside the Athabasca Basin and roughly 50 kilometers east of the Key Lake mill, the project is home to the Fraser Lakes B Uranium-Thorium Deposit. This deposit has a historical inferred resource estimate of 6.9 million pounds of U₃O₈ at an average grade of 0.03% U₃O₈ and 5.3 million pounds of ThO₂ at 0.023% ThO₂. In March of 2015, Skyharbour released an updated NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate for the Fraser Lakes Zone B deposit at the south end of the property, available on SEDAR+.

The mineralization is found in shallow, structurally disrupted metasedimentary rocks and pegmatites, displaying characteristics typical of Athabasca-style basement-hosted deposits and is associated with well-defined EM conductors, Skyharbour said.

Expert: Skyharbour 'Increasingly Well Positioned'

According to an April 2 update on Skyharbour by Jeff Clark and Daniel Flynn of The Gold Advisor, this year's drilling operations at the company's 100% owned Moore Project signal the start of a potentially pivotal exploration program for the company.

The Moore Project is strategically located just 15 kilometers east of Denison Mines' Wheeler River project, which has recently received the green light for construction, and 39 kilometers south of the world's largest high-grade uranium operation, Cameco's McArthur River mine and Key Lake mill.

Skyharbour is set to undertake up to 10,000 meters of multi-phase diamond drilling at Moore, aiming to determine if the project can emulate the success of its prominent neighbors, Clark and Flynn wrote. The initial phase of this drilling campaign will encompass 10 to 12 holes concentrated along the Maverick trend. The first target within this phase is Nomad, a newly identified regional target characterized last year as a broad, structurally controlled hydrothermal system. The drilling at Nomad will focus on investigating priority gravity anomalies and new electromagnetic (EM) conductors that were delineated in recent surveys.

In addition to the drilling, Skyharbour is employing AI-assisted modeling to enhance the refinement and prioritization of targets at the Moore Project, they noted. This technological approach is intended to optimize the effectiveness of the current drilling efforts and to strategically inform future exploratory activities. The company has secured a renewed three-year drill permit for the Moore Project, which remains valid through March 2029, supporting its long-term exploration strategy in this uranium-rich region.

The ongoing exploration program at Moore presents a real opportunity for a significant discovery that could substantially impact the company's valuation.

For the time being, the outcome hinges on the geological findings, with the potential for strong results to rapidly improve market sentiment towards Skyharbour, the authors said. It's crucial to note that the company's prospects are not solely dependent on the Moore Project. Nearby, Denison is progressing with work at the Russell Lake JV, whereby in late 2025, Skyharbour closed a transformative Strategic Agreement with Denison at Russell Lake, bringing Denison in as a strategic and funding partner to advance Russell alongside Skyharbour. In addition, various partner companies are actively funding exploration efforts across Skyharbour’s extensive portfolio of 43 projects in the Athabasca region as part of their growing Prospect Generator business. Skyharbour now has option agreements that total over CAD $76 million in exploration expenditures, over $26 million in stock being issued and $16 million in cash payments coming into Skyharbour, assuming that these partner companies complete their full earn-ins at their respective projects.

"Put it all together, and Skyharbour looks increasingly well positioned to make a meaningful discovery at a time when the uranium market is strengthening," they said in the newsletter.

Drilling Campaign is Co.'s Most Extensive Yet, Analyst Says

According to a research note by Sid Rajeev of Fundamental Research Corp. dated February 5, Skyharbour this year will feature the company's most extensive annual drill campaign to date, with plans for exploration at Moore and the new Russell Lake joint venture. At Moore, the focus is on delivering a maiden resource estimate this year, which Rajeev believes will significantly clarify the project's potential and serve as a major catalyst for the company.

Rajeev also highlighted that upcoming catalysts for Skyharbour include improved uranium market sentiment, partner-funded exploration, and significant drilling programs at both Moore and Russell Lake. Rajeev maintained his Buy rating, adjusting his fair value estimate from CA$1.12 to CA$1.16 per share, citing the company's expanded portfolio and key drilling programs as well-positioned to benefit from potential sector upswings.

In a January 15 research note, David Talbot, Red Cloud's managing director and head of equity research, maintained his target price for Skyharbour at CA$0.65 per share, a potential 48% return at the time of writing.

The Catalyst: A Growing Need

Amid a widening gap between supply and demand, global uranium producers are accelerating the transition of their development projects into operational commercial facilities to meet the growing need for this critical energy resource, according to a report by Giann Liguid for Investing News Network on April 27.

This shift has been encouraged by a sustained increase in uranium prices, with spot U₃O₈ prices remaining above US$80 per pound since the beginning of 2026, and long-term contract prices also surpassing this level. This price trend, coupled with improving supply and demand dynamics, is motivating producers and developers to either ramp up production or push forward with their project developments, Liguid wrote.

The narrative surrounding the uranium market has been predominantly focused on increasing demand over the past two years, Adam Rozencwajg wrote for Family Wealth Report on April 29. However, emerging supply challenges are poised to become a more significant factor. The resurgence of nuclear power in Western countries and other regions, particularly through innovative approaches like small modular reactors, is driving this demand, the author said. The push for decarbonization of energy sources, which positions nuclear energy alongside renewables due to its ability to provide baseload electricity generation independent of weather conditions, is also contributing to this trend. Despite historical concerns over safety and high initial costs, the growing acceptance of nuclear power suggests a rising demand for uranium.

According to Goehring & Rozencwajg, a New York-based commodities-focused investment firm, the uranium market is entering a prolonged period of structural deficit. The firm highlights that while the demand for nuclear power is expected to significantly increase through 2040, uranium supply is not keeping up, exacerbated by production issues at major producers like Kazatomprom and Cameco. It anticipates that future market dynamics will likely be influenced more by persistent supply shortages rather than unexpected increases in demand, potentially leading to a long-term increase in uranium prices.

The uranium market is facing notable supply challenges in the coming years, the report noted. In 2025, uranium mine production is projected to reach approximately 160 million pounds. Alongside this, secondary sources (such as recycled fuel and inventories) are expected to add about 25 million pounds to the supply. Investment demand, which represents uranium purchased by financial entities and investors for speculative purposes, is estimated to approach 10 million pounds.

Despite these contributions, the combined supply is likely to fall short of overall demand, resulting in a deficit of roughly 5 million pounds. This imbalance is anticipated to become more pronounced in 2026. A decrease in uranium mine supply is expected to coincide with growing reactor demand, creating a deeper shortfall. Even before factoring in investment demand, the market will likely experience a significant deficit, Rozencwajg said.
