Skyharbour Partner Company Valor Announces High-grade Sample Results from Hook Lake
Project Field Program
Vancouver, BC - Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SYH) (OTCQB: SYHBF) (Frankfurt:
SC1P) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that partner company Valor Resources Limited
(“Valor”) has provided an update on results from the recently completed on-ground field program at
the Hook Lake Project. A total of 57 samples were taken from across the Hook Lake Project with
assay results now having been received. The results are highlighted by the assays from the Hook
Lake (or Zone S) prospect which confirmed the reported historical high -grade uranium
mineralization. A total of seven rock chip samples were taken from a historical trench located at the
Hook Lake prospect, with four of these samples returning high -grade uranium assays (>6% U 3O8)
as well as highly elevated rare earth (>0.5% TREO*), silver (>50ppm) and lead (> 1.8%) assays. The
samples are selective in nature with a high potential for bias and should not be considered as being
representative of the overall mineralised structure or zone.
*TREO = Total Rare Earth Oxides = La 2O3, CeO 2, Pr6O11, Nd2O3, Sm2O3, Eu2O3, Gd 2O3, Tb4O7, Dy2O3, Ho2O3, Er2O3,

The Hook Lake Project consists of 16 contiguous mining claims covering 25,846 hectares, located
60 km east of the Key Lake Uranium Mine in northern Saskatchewan. Skyharbour signed a Definitive
Agreement with Valor Resources on the Hook Lake Uranium Project whereby Valor can earn-in 80%
of the project through $3,500,000 in total exploration expenditures, $475,000 in total cash payments
over three years and an initial share issuance of 233,333,333 shares of Valor.

Dy2O3), 14.5% Pb (Rock chip sample)
o 46.1% U 3O8, 435g/t Ag, 2.88% TREO (7,054ppm Nd 2O3 + Pr 6O11 and 1,139ppm
Dy2O3), 8.8% Pb (Rock chip sample)

• Anomalous rock chip sample results from West Way prospect with up to 0.64% U 3O8 and
molybdenum assays of 3.4% and 1.9%
• Project wide review of rare earth and molybdenum potential currently being undertaken
• Follow up field program planned to finalize and prioritize targets ready for drill testing
Sample results across the Hook Lake Property:
The program was conducted by Dahrouge Geological Consulting Limited, and focused on validating
and developing the geological understanding of the historic uranium occurrences, such as the Hook
Lake (or Zone S) and West Way prospects. The fieldwork was also designed to follow-up on the new
targets generated from the magnetic/VL F-EM survey completed in April and the priority anomalies
identified from the detailed airborne radiometric survey completed in July.
Hooke Lake (Zone S) Prospect:
A total of seven rock chip samples were taken from a historical trench located at the Hook Lake
prospect, with four of these samples returning high -grade uranium assays (>6% U 3O8) as well as
highly elevated rare earths (>0.5% TREO), silver (>50ppm) and lead (>1.8%) assays. These
samples were taken from in -situ uraninite mineralization within a biotite or psammitic gneiss. A
boulder sample located approximately 300m east of the Hook Lake trench also returned high-grade
uranium and rare earths with 59.2% U3O8 and 5.05% TREO.
The Hook Lake high-grade uranium (and rare earth) mineralization is interpreted to be located at a
dilational trap/jog which has formed at the intersection of a northeast-southwest trending shear zone
and a possible north -south trending structure (potentially a reactivated Tabbernor fault structure).
This interpretation highlights the potential significance of the north -south trending Tabbernor fault
system structures, several of which are interpreted to transect the project area. Besides the down -
dip/down-plunge potential of the immediate Hook Lake target, there is potential for further structural
targets of this nature along strike to the northeast and southwest from the Hook Lake prospect. This
will be further investigated during on-ground follow-up work programs.
West Way Prospect:
At the West Way prospect, located approximately 6.5km north of the Hook Lake prospect, five grab
samples of outcrop or subcrop were taken with three of the samples returning anomalous uranium
assay results including 0.64% U 3O8 from a quartz vein. Two of these three samples returned high -
grade molybdenum with assays of 3.4% and 1.9% Mo.
The controls on mineralization at West Way are currently uncertain and more field work is required
to improve the geological understanding and develop drill targets. However, the airborne magnetics
suggest a spatial association with a N -S structural feature, and there are potential rep eats of this
structural setting along strike to the northeast and southwest of West Way. This will be further
investigated during on-ground follow-up work programs, in addition to following -up on the elevated
Mo assays.
Another 44 samples were taken from across the project area, including 9 samples from the Nob Hill
prospect. Results from Nob Hill ranged from no meaningful mineralization to one grab sample of
pegmatite that returned an assay of 280ppm U and 1.01% TREO.
A follow-up field program is curren tly being planned prior to finalize and prioritize drill targets. The
field program is expected to take place in October, with drilling planned during the winter 2021/22.
About Hook Lake (previously North Falcon Point) Project:
Valor has the right to earn an 80% working interest in the Hook Lake Uranium Project located 60 km
east of the Key Lake Uranium Mine in northern Saskatchewan. Covering 25,846 hectares, the 16
contiguous mineral claims host several prospective areas of uranium mineralization including:
• Hook Lake / Zone S - High-grade surface outcrop with reported grades in grab samples up
to 68% U 3O8; a bio -geochemical survey carried out over the trenches in 2015 responded
positively with along-strike anomalies 2 km to the northeast
• Nob Hill - Fracture-controlled vein-type uranium mineralization on surface outcrop with up to
0.130% - 0.141% U3O8 in grab samples; diamond drilling intersected anomalous uranium in
several drill holes with values up to 422 ppm U over 0.5 m
• West Way - Vein type U mineralization within a NE-trending shear zone; grab samples taken
from the surface showing contained variable uranium values including up to 0.475% U 3O8
and drilling of the structure intersected the altered shear zone at depth, along with anomalous
Cu, Ni, Co, As, V, U, & Pb
• Grid T - Fracture-hosted secondary uranium mineralization in sheared calc -silicates and
marbles in a 100 m x 20 m zone of anomalous radioactivity with grab samples having up to
800 ppm U
• Alexander Lake Boulder Field - 30 biotite -quartz-k-feldspar pegmatite boulders NE of
Alexander Lake; the best results include 360 ppm U, 1,400 ppm U and 1,600 ppm U
respectively
• Thompson Lake Boulder Field - Numerous radioactive boulders and blocks of pegmatized
meta-arkose, pegmatite, and granite; the best value obtained was 738 ppm U from a granite
boulder
• NE Alexander Lake – Several calc-silicate, plagioclase-quartz granulite, quartzite, and meta-
arkose boulders with up to 4,800 ppm U, 7,600 ppm Mo and 1,220 ppm Ni
The project area is in close proximity to two all-weather northern highways and grid power. Historical
exploration has consisted of airborne and ground geophysics, multi-phased diamond drill campaigns,
detailed geochemical sampling and surveys, and ground -based prospecting culminating in an
extensive geological database for the project area.
