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) has submitted updated, independent technical reports prepared under National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, covering its co-flagship Moore and Russell Lake uranium projects in Saskatchewan's eastern Athabasca basin, according to a September 3 release.

The reports support the company's annual information form and its plans to potentially move its U.S. listing from the OTCQX to the Nasdaq Capital Market, alongside its existing TSX Venture Exchange listing. Both properties remain at the exploration stage, and neither report contains a mineral resource estimate, although the work could support resource estimation efforts in the future.

Skyharbour owns Moore outright and describes the project as an advanced-stage uranium exploration property about 15 kilometers east of Denison Mines Corp.'s (DML:TSX; DNN:NYSE.MKT) Wheeler River project and 39 kilometers south of Cameco Corp.'s (CCO:TSX; CCJ:NYSE) McArthur River uranium mine. The neighboring Russell Lake project is advancing through joint ventures with Denison Mines. Together, the two co-flagship assets contain multiple areas of high-grade uranium mineralization across a largely continuous and highly prospective land package in the eastern Athabasca basin, with Skyharbour continuing exploration and drilling at both projects.

The reports compile historical and recent exploration results, geological data, and drilling information for each property, the release said. They also outline recommended follow-up exploration and drilling programs. Skyharbour said all scientific and technical information included in the reports had been previously disclosed, with no new material information presented.

Skyharbour said it filed the updated independent NI 43-101 reports as part of its broader corporate development plans, including preparation of an annual information form and a potential Nasdaq Capital Market uplisting. The reports, together with the annual information form, are intended to provide current independent technical disclosure on the company's material uranium assets in support of the proposed listing.

However, Skyharbour cautioned that it may not proceed with or complete the Nasdaq listing, and no timing can be guaranteed, as the process remains dependent on meeting Nasdaq's listing requirements and obtaining applicable regulatory approvals.

 Skyharbour Files NI 43-101 Reports on Both Flagships

Neither Moore nor Russell Lake currently has a mineral resource or mineral reserve estimate, and neither technical report provides an economic analysis. As a result, the Form 43-101F1 sections covering mineral resources and reserves, mining and recovery methods, infrastructure, market and environmental studies, permitting, capital and operating costs, and economic analysis do not apply to these exploration-stage properties and were excluded from the reports. Skyharbour cautioned that mineral exploration carries inherent uncertainty, and additional work may not establish a mineral resource or demonstrate the presence of an economically viable deposit.

The independent NI 43-101 report for Moore, titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Moore Property," carries a signature date of August 20. John Shmyr, BSc, PGeo, of Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd., prepared the report as an independent qualified person under NI 43-101.

The independent report for Russell Lake, titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Russell Lake Property, Saskatchewan, Canada," is dated August 18. Shmyr also prepared this report as an independent qualified person under NI 43-101.

In addition to its website, the company said the reports are also available through its SEDAR+ profile.

Ventum Starts Skyharbour at Buy on Prospect-Generator Model

Skyharbour holds a broad Athabasca Basin portfolio of 44 uranium projects spanning more than 682,100 hectares (1.69 million acres), giving it wide exposure to improving uranium-market fundamentals.

Through its prospect-generator model, Skyharbour also runs joint ventures and multiple earn-in and option deals that collectively represent more than CA$79 million in potential partner-funded exploration and over CA$52 million in potential cash and share payments to the company, assuming partners complete their earn-ins.

That partnership-focused strategy has attracted support from analysts. Ventum Capital Markets Analyst Surya Sankarasubramanian initiated coverage on Skyharbour on August 27, describing the company as a uranium exploration and prospect-generation business with a history of monetizing staked claims through asset-level option agreements. The model provides investors with broad exploration upside while limiting equity dilution. Its co-flagship Russell Lake and Moore Lake projects, located in the infrastructure-rich eastern Athabasca Basin, offer near-term exploration potential next to Denison's under-construction Phoenix mine, with Denison holding an approximately 9% stake.

By committed spending, the company's roughly 590,000-hectare prospect-generator portfolio was attracting more partner activity than any other in the Athabasca Basin, with Skyharbour and its partners funding more than 30,000 metres of drilling in 2026 alone. The report said the model maximizes exposure to exploration success, limits downside from unsuccessful programs, and generates cash while minimizing dilution.

At Russell Lake, Denison's geological expertise gained from advancing the adjacent Wheeler River project and Phoenix mine likely helped support its commitment of up to CA$61 million to the joint ventures, according to the report. With unconformity- and sandstone-hosted mineralization established across targets including Fork and Grayling, the JVs are considered well-positioned for further discoveries.

At 100%-owned Moore Lake, drilling has systematically tested approximately 3 kilometers of the 4.7-kilometer Maverick corridor, with more than 390 drill holes completed across the property. Targets such as Nomad and Esker provide additional exploration upside, while a mineral resource estimate could establish a valuation foundation for the project.

The report also highlighted existing infrastructure, potential synergies with partners seeking to expand their uranium pipelines, and access to strategic financing as factors that could accelerate development of a new discovery. Denison's work on in-situ recovery at Phoenix and the SABRE mining method developed by Orano and deployed through its joint venture with Denison could further reduce the development threshold for relatively shallow, small, high-grade deposits that might otherwise remain uneconomic.

The Ventum report rated the stock a Buy and assigned Skyharbour a CA$0.75 target price based on a sum-of-the-parts valuation that incorporates probability-weighted values for established and potential resources at Moore Lake and South Falcon East, along with a CA$60 million valuation, an area-based multiple, and cash and share proceeds from the prospect-generator business.

Near-term catalysts include ongoing drill results from the Russell Lake JVs and Moore Lake, followed by assays from various partner funded drilling campaigns, the report said.

Additional Analyst Coverage on Skyharbour

Haywood Securities' Marcus Giannini also began coverage of the company on May 28 with a Buy rating and a CA$1-per-share price target.

"Skyharbour is a uranium exploration company we have followed for some time and has frequently been profiled in Haywood's Exploration Quarterly Report," the analyst wrote. "Skyharbour is focused on the discovery of unconformity-style uranium deposits in the prolific Athabasca Basin, anchored by its co-flagship Moore Lake and Russell Lake projects."

Giannini highlighted the prospect-generator structure, which allows Skyharbour to expand its exploration portfolio through partners that finance much of the work on properties in established uranium regions. He identified the company's partnership with Denison Mines Corp. at Russell Lake as an important milestone, bringing additional funding, expertise, and technical resources from an experienced uranium producer.

"With the partnership at Russell established, a proven project in Moore, and exposure to significant exploration drilling through joint venture projects, we think the timing is right for Skyharbour to take the next step in its exploration journey," Giannini said. "We like Skyharbour for the exposure it provides in terms of blue-sky exploration upside in a proven uranium district, while maintaining a lower risk profile relative to pure play exploration peers through its prospect generator business with minimized dilution through a partnership model."

In a July 23, 2026, review of Skyharbour's progress, Jeff Clark and Daniel Flynn of The Paydirt Prospector said the publication gave the company a "Hold" rating in its summer portfolio review. Flynn attributed the stance largely to the limited number of Moore Lake updates since drilling began, but pointed to several potential catalysts on the horizon, including results from Skyharbour's expanded 2026 drilling campaign, which The Paydirt Prospector characterized as roughly twice the size of last year's program. Flynn said assay results from Moore Lake and other properties could provide additional upside, while Clark continues to maintain an overweight position.

The Catalyst: AI Demand and Tight Supply Fuel a Nuclear Revival

The build-out of artificial intelligence is running headlong into the limits of the electricity grid, and a growing chorus of analysts argues nuclear power is the way through. In an August 31 feature for TechTarget, writer Wisdom Ekpotu made the case that nuclear energy has become "essential, not optional" for powering AI, offering the reliable, carbon-free baseload that data centers need as their consumption climbs.

The scale of that demand is the crux of the problem. Training a single frontier model can consume enormous amounts of electricity, and TechTarget reported that AI-related infrastructure spending could reach US$765 billion in 2026 and US$1.6 trillion annually by 2031. Meanwhile, the grid cannot keep up: new projects face average interconnection-queue waits of four to five years, and the article pegged the cost of those delays at roughly US$14.2 million a month for a 60-megawatt data center left waiting for power.

The projected shortfall is steep. Citing congressional testimony from former Google Chief Executive Officer Eric Schmidt, the article noted that "AI data centers will need 29 GW of additional power by 2027 and 67 GW more by 2030." That gap, the piece argued, is too large and too constant to be filled by intermittent sources alone.

That is where nuclear enters the thesis. Because reactors run around the clock regardless of weather, they supply exactly the steady baseload AI workloads require, and the article reported that nuclear already accounts for about 20% of data-center power and is growing. The combination of surging, always-on demand and a grid that can't connect new load fast enough, it concluded, is precisely what is reviving interest in nuclear generation.

Supply is the other half of the squeeze. Years of underinvestment in new mines have left uranium tight even as reactor demand climbs, according to an August 25 ZeroHedge report carried on OilPrice.com. New mines can take up to a decade to develop, so producers can't ramp quickly when prices rise, and output stays concentrated among a few miners, including Cameco. Goldman Sachs analysts have repeatedly warned that uranium has moved into a supply deficit likely to widen as more reactors start up, the report noted, with China, on track to become the world's largest nuclear market before the decade ends, driving much of the buildout.

"Continued strength in term pricing and signs of accelerating utility procurement offer further evidence that the uranium market is tightening structurally," UBS analyst George Eadie wrote in August, according to ZeroHedge.

As hyperscalers race to build data centers, dependable power is becoming the binding constraint, and nuclear stands out as the only scalable, low-carbon source of round-the-clock baseload, supporting a revival that could remain a major theme for years.
