News Release
Skyharbour Commences 2,500m Summer Diamond Drill Program at its
Moore Uranium Project, Saskatchewan
Vancouver, BC - Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SYH) (OTCQB: SYHBF) (Frankfurt:
SC1P) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has commenced its summer 2017 drill program
at its flagship 35,705 hectare Moore Uranium Project, located approx. 15 kilometres east of
Denison Mine's Wheeler River project and near regional infrastructure on the southeast side of
the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. The Company is planning to carry out a minimum of 2,500
metres in seven to nine diamond drill holes through September to follow up on the success of the
winter 2017 drill program with planned drill targets located on the Maverick corridor as well as at
other high-priority regional targets.

Jordan Trimble, President and CEO of Skyharbour Resources, states: “The commencement of
our second diamond drill program at our flagship Moore Uranium Project is an important milestone
for Skyharbour and its shareholders. The high-grade uranium mineralization discovered during
the winter program earlier this year illustrates the strong discovery potential at the project. We will
be drill testing the Maverick corridor as well as several other shallow, regional exploration targets
that offer the potential to generate additional discoveries. The Company is well funded with over
$3.5 million in the treasury to complete this drill program , as well as next winter’s planned drill
program, and will provide updates as results become available.”
Summer 2017 Dill Program at the Moore Uranium Project:
Given the success of Skyharbour’s first phase of drilling at the Moore Project in the winter of 2017,
the Company has now commenced a minimum 2,500 metre summer drill program. Drill targets
will include several high-priority regional targets at the property as well as the Maverick corridor
where previous drilling has intersected high grade uranium mineralization at the Main Maverick
Zone including 6.0% U 3O8 over 5.9 metres at 265 metres depth in hole ML-199, as well as the
discovery of new, high-grade mineralized lenses along strike from this Main Maverick Zone. The
Maverick corridor is over 4 kilometres long yet only 1.5 kilometres have been systematically drilled
with most of this drilling and known high grade uranium hosted at or near the unconformity leaving
strong discovery potential along strike as well as at depth in the basement rocks. The Company
has received the necessary permits and is fully funded for this drill program.

The regional drill targets that will be tested are on the eastern side of the property in a previously
undrilled area. They are associated with geophysical features including EM conductors, resistivity
lows and magnetic lows that are characteristic to uranium mineralization in the Athabasca Basin.
They are also along strike of conductive zones identified in the Puka Puka and East Venice grids.
Prior drill testing at some of these areas returned highly anomalous pathfinder elements as well
as low grade uranium mineralization. Of special interest with respect to the regional targets are a
couple of drill holes planned to test recently interpreted geophysical targets at the unconformi ty
and in the basement rock beneath the “Moore Lake Complex”, a mafic intrusive interpreted to be
on the order of 200 metres thick.
Winter 2017 Dill Program Results at Moore Uranium Project:
Skyharbour previously reported results from its 5,450 metre, 15 drill hole, winter 2017 diamond
drilling program at its Moore Uranium Project (see May 23 rd, 2017 news release). Multiple drill
holes intersected high-grade uranium mineralization at the 4 kilometre long Maverick structural
corridor. Previously reported high grade results included 20.8% U3O8 over 1.5 metres within an
interval returning 6.0% U3O8 over 5.9 metres in hole ML-199; 9.12% U3O8 over 1.4 metres within
an interval returning 4.17% U3O8 over 4.5 metres in hole ML-202; 5.29% U3O8 over 2.5 metres
within an interval returning 2.99% U3O8 over 5.0 metres in hole ML-200; and 2.25% U3O8 over
3.0 metres in hole ML-208. This high-grade mineralization within the Maverick corridor is relatively
shallow ranging from 250 metres to 275 metres v ertical depth. Also of note is that hole ML -202
represents the discovery of a new high-grade mineralized lens on the corridor.

About Skyharbour Resources Ltd.:
Skyharbour holds an extensive portfolio of uranium and thorium exploration projects in Canada's
Athabasca Basin and is well positioned to benefit from improving uranium market fundamentals
with five drill-ready projects. In July 2016, Skyharbour acquired an option from Denison Mines, a
large strategic shareholder of the Company, to acquire 100% of the Moore Uranium Project which
is located approx. 15 kilometres east of Denison's Wheeler River project and 39 kilometres south
of Cameco's McArthur River uranium mine. Moore is an advanced stage uranium exploration
property with high-grade uranium mineralization at the Maverick Zone with drill results returning
6.0% U3O8 over 5.9 metres including 20.8% U3O8 over 1.5 metres at a vertical depth of 265
metres. Skyharbour recently signe d option agreements with AREVA Resources Canada and
Azincourt Uranium whereby AREVA and Azincourt can earn in 70% on the Preston Project
through a combined $9,800,000 in total exploration expenditures, as well as $1,700,000 in total
cash payments and 4,500 ,000 Azincourt shares. Preston is a large, geologically prospective
property proximal to Fission Uranium's Triple R deposit as well as NexGen Energy's Arrow
deposit. The Company also owns a 100% interest in the Falcon Point Uranium Project on the
eastern perimeter of the Basin which contains an NI 43-101 inferred resource totaling 7.0 million
pounds of U3O8 at 0.03% and 5.3 million pounds of ThO2 at 0.023% . The project also hosts a
high-grade surface showing with up to 68% U3O8 in grab samples from a massiv e pitchblende
vein, the source of which has yet to be discovered. The Company's 100% owned Mann Lake
3
Uranium project on the east side of the Basin is strategically located adjacent to the Mann Lake
Joint Venture operated by Cameco, where high -grade uranium mineralization was recently
discovered. Skyharbour's goal is to maximize shareholder value through new mineral discoveries,
committed long-term partnerships, and the advancement of exploration projects in geopolitically
favourable jurisdictions.
