Skyharbour Resources (TSX-V:SYH) has staked 40 new prospective uranium exploration claims in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada – increasing its total land package to 662,887 hectares across 43 projects.
The new claims are dubbed the Carter North, Rover, East Dufferin, Brustad, 914, Elevator, Pendleton, Yurchison, Tarku, and South Dufferin projects. The projects cover a total area of 64,913 hectares and lie around Skyharbour’s existing holdings in the Athabasca Basin.
Skyharbour says the new claims form part of its prospect generator business through which the company will seek strategic partners to advance and unlock value from the assets.
Carter North, comprising 10 claims, has undergone various historical exploration programs between 1969 and 2023. The property covers interpreted extensions of the Patterson Lake, Derkson, and Carter conductive corridors.
Rover, covering 793 hectares, is underlain by a shallow cover of Athabasca Group Sandstones which in turn cover the paleoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks of the Wollaston Supergroup.
East Dufferin consists of a single claim totalling 1,451 hectares and lies 4km west of South Dufferin which covers 49 hectares. South Dufferin is drill-ready with several prospective targets requiring follow-up work.
Brustad has had no drilling undertaken on the project, but recent airborne geophysical surveys uncovered a north-south trending electromagnetic conductor running alongside the western edge of the property adjacent to a northwest trending aeromagnetic low.
The 914 and Elevator projects comprise 13 mineral claims forming two contiguous claim blocks totalling 13,785 hectares. Multiple uranium and rare earths showings exist in the surrounding area of the claims.
Pendleton is considered prospective for basement-hosted, unconformity-related uranium deposits, as well as pegmatite-hosted uranium-thorium-rare earth mineralisation and sediment-hosted lead-zinc-copper mineralisation.
The Yurchison Project has expanded through the staking of 16 additional claims covering 16,966 hectares. Majority of the work completed on the property was completed before 2000, with minimal follow-up since.
Meanwhile, Tarku is considered to offer potential for basement-hosted, unconformity-related uranium mineralisation along the Virgin River Shear Zone trend.
Skyharbour Resources holds an extensive portfolio of uranium projects in Canada’s Athabasca Basin. The company remains focused on advancing its flagship Russell Lake project, recently joint ventured with Denison Mines Corp (TSX:DML), and its Moore Project.
In mid-December 2025, Skyharbour closed the definitive repurchase agreement with Denison Mines. The deal, as previously reported, represents a combined total of up to C$61.5 million ($67.39 million), consisting of C$10 million in cash, C$8 million in cash and shares, and expenditures and cash payments totalling up to C$43.5 million.
Upon completion, Denison will acquire between 20-70% of interest over seven years in the claims making up Russell Lake.
