(\"Sky\" or the \"Company\") (TSX.V:SKYG)(OTC PINK:SRKZF) is pleased to announce that it has completed basal till geochemical sampling on its Consolidated Shebandowan nickel-copper-cobalt-chrome-platinum group element-gold property (the \"Property\"). This initial phase of exploration was focused on providing detail on high-quality, regional exploration targets known as the Mingold Au anomaly (orogenic gold target) and a strong, extensive Ni-Cu-Co-Cr-PGE anomaly (magmatic nickel-sulphide target).Additionally, through further compilation of historical data, the Company has identified and prioritized a number of significant legacy gold occurrences on the Property, which are slated for further exploration this field season.The Property, comprising 5,894 hectares, is situated 70 km west of the City of Thunder Bay and 6 km southwest of the past-producing Shebandowan Ni-Cu-Co-Cr-PGE mine, operated by Inco Ltd during the period of 1970 to 1989.Detailed Basal Till Sampling Completed Over the Prime Target AreasALS Global has completed its basal till geochemistry survey over significant portions of the Property including detailed coverage over the Mingold Au anomaly, the main Ni-Cu-Co-Cr-PGE anomaly, as well as over the legacy gold occurrences. Historical geochemical sampling completed by the Ontario Geological featured widely-spaced sample sites (4-square km spacing), whereas ALS's detailed sampling program included sample collection every 1-square kilometre. Such sampling will provide more detail and refinement over all target areas for subsequent continuing exploration.The till samples have been submitted to ALS Global in Thunder Bay for multi-element geochemical and precious-metal analyses. It is anticipated that the analytical results will be available to Sky within 3 weeks-time. Results will be released as they become available.The primary gold target covered by the ALS Global survey comprises a 2 km by 2 km ...
