SOUTH FALCON EAST

Project Highlights

  • Geological and geochemical features show distinct similarities to high grade, basement-hosted deposits in the Athabasca Basin such as Eagle Point, Millennium, P-Patch and Roughrider.
  • Exploration potential of the 6 by 7-kilometre Fraser Lakes target area is considered exceptional, including resource expansion potential along strike and at depth at the Zone B uranium deposit.
  • In March of 2015, Skyharbour updated the historical NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate* for the Fraser Lakes Zone B deposit at the south end of the property:
    • 6,960,681 pounds U3O8 inferred at average grade of 0.03% U3O8 and 5,339,219 pounds ThO2 inferred at average grade of 0.023% ThO2 within 10,354,926 tonnes (cutoff grade of 0.01% U3O8)
  • Winter/spring 2015 drill program consisted of 1,278 metres in five holes: 
    • Intersected highest grade mineralization found to date in deposit area: 0.172% U3O8 and 0.112% ThO2 over 2.5 metres
    • Breakthrough towards finding more and higher-grade uranium mineralization at shallow depths
  • Historical drilling consisting of 25 holes totaling 4,603 metres has defined a zone

    of moderately dipping, multiple-stacked uranium and thorium mineralized

    horizons down to 175 metres that is open to the southwest and east-northeast as

    well as at depth.

  • To earn up to a 75% interest:
    • Terra will issue Skyharbour 1,111,111 Terra shares upfront, fund exploration expenditures totaling CAD $10,500,000, and pay Skyharbour CAD $11,100,000 in cash of which $6,500,000 can be settled for shares in the capital of Terra over the five-year earn-in period

*The historical resource is described in a technical report on the Falcon Point uranium project, Northern Saskatchewan, dated March 20, 2015, and filed on SEDAR by Skyharbour Resources Ltd. Terra is not treating the resource as current and has not completed sufficient work to classify the resource as a current mineral resource. While Terra is not treating the historical resource as current, it does believe the work conducted is reliable and the information may be of assistance to readers.

Overview

The South Falcon East property covers approx. 12,234 ha and lies 18 kilometers outside the southeast portion of the Athabasca Basin, 55 kilometers east of the Key Lake Mine. The project area is in close proximity to two all-weather northern highways and grid power.

Historical Results

In the years 2008 through 2011 outcrop grab samples from South Falcon East returned from 0.038% to 0.453% U3O8 and drill core samples returned mineralized sections with values from 0.012% to 0.552% U3O8.

In 2015 Skyharbour Resources drilled five (5) holes (1,278m) testing various targets. Multiple intervals of uranium mineralization were intersected in several drill holes during the winter program. This mineralization is accompanied by local thorium enrichment and anomalous levels of pathfinder elements such as copper, nickel, vanadium and lead.

Hole FP-15-03 returned a 3-meter interval of .082% U308, including 2-meters of .10% U308 (at 295-meter depth).

The best intersections occur in drill hole FP-15-05 which was drilled within the main mineralized Fraser Lakes conductive corridor.

Hole FP-15-05 returned multiple mineralized intervals over a 14 meter down hole length, including 6 meters of .10% U308 (including a 2-meter intercept of 0.165% U3O8 (at 135-meter depth), and 2.5-meter interval of 0.172% U3O8 (at 145-meter depth).

History

Historical exploration at the South Falcon East Project identified an area of U-Th-REE mineralization at the Fraser Lakes Zone B deposit over an area comprising 1.5 km by 0.5 km along an antiformal fold nose cut by an east-west dextral ductile-brittle cross-structure adjacent to a 65 km long EM conductor. The near-surface Fraser Lakes Zone B deposit consists of a historical 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% within 10,354,926 tonnes using a cut-off grade of 0.01% U3O8. The independent NI 43-101 technical report by GeoVector Management Inc. supporting this historic mineral resource estimate was filed on SEDAR on March 20, 2015, by Skyharbour. 

Independent qualified person, Dr. Allan Armitage, P.Geo., is responsible for the contents of the technical report and comments related to the resource estimate and its parameters.

JNR Fraser Lakes Target

  • Uranium and thorium showings in the JNR Fraser Lakes area (Zone A, Zone B, North and T-Bone) were discovered by ground prospecting of airborne geophysical targets.
  • Mineralized zones are contained within a 65 kilometre long, folded EM conductor system comprised of Wollaston Group graphitic pelitic gneisses and uraniferous granitic pegmatites.
  • Drill testing at Fraser Lakes North intersected low-grade, basement-hosted uranium-thorium mineralization.
  • The drill holes exhibit evidence of major structural reactivation, significant clay alteration, uranium remobilization and basinal brine fluid circulation, all of which are prominent characteristics of the most significant basement-hosted uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin (e.g. Eagle Point, Millennium, P-Patch and Roughrider).
  • In the T-Bone Lake area, uranium mineralization is accompanied by significant structural disruption and local clay alteration of the host rocks.
  • A major clay-filled fault system intersected in drill holes yielded PIMA infrared spectroscopy results that indicate a preponderance of illite; an important clay mineral that accompanies many of the significant uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin. 

Fraser Lakes Zone B

Discovered in 2008, Zone B is located within the broader 6-kilometre by 7-kilometre Fraser Lakes target area where multiple mineralized zones have been discovered along a 65-kilometre-long, folded EM conductor system comprised of Wollaston Group graphitic pelitic gneisses and uraniferous granitic pegmatites.

Fraser Lakes Zone B Uranium And Thorium Deposit

Diamond drilling consisting of 25 holes totaling 4,603 metres has defined a zone of moderately dipping, multiple-stacked uranium and thorium mineralized horizons down to 175 metres that is open to the southwest and east-northeast as well as at depth. Uranium and thorium mineralization is accompanied by highly anomalous concentrations of base metals, rare earth elements and other pathfinder elements. The style of uranium mineralization associated with intrusive rocks is commonly referred to as “Rössing type” mineralization named after the largest, longest running open pit uranium mine in the world, the Rössing Mine operated by Rio Tinto in Namibia. 

JNR Resources Inc., a company acquired by Denison in 2013, announced an initial historic mineral resource estimate in 2012 (Refiled in March of 2015 by Skyharbour Resources) for the Fraser Lakes Zone B of 6,960,681 pounds U3O8 inferred at an average grade of 0.03% U3O8 and 5,339,219 pounds ThO2 inferred at an average grade of 0.023% ThO2 within 10,354,926 tonnes using a cutoff grade of 0.01% U3O8. The independent NI 43-101 technical report supporting this historical mineral resource estimate was filed on SEDAR on September 26, 2012 by JNR Resources. Independent qualified persons, Dr. Allan Armitage, P.Geo., and Alan Sexton, M.Sc., P.Geo., of GeoVector Management Inc., are responsible for the contents of the technical report and comments related to the historical resource estimate and its parameters.
