(“Orano”), is planning a substantial 2026 exploration and drilling program at the 49,635 hectare Preston Uranium Project (“Preston” or the “Property”) located in the western Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, Canada. The upcoming program will include an Airborne Gravity Gradiometry (AGG) survey, followed by detailed ground gravity surveys, and these geophysics will be followed by a summer 2026 drilling campaign totaling approximately 3,500 metres. The program is designed to build on the encouraging results from the previous few years and advance several high-priority target areas across the property, particularly within the FSAN and Canoe Lake grids where drilling and geophysical surveys have identified compelling structural corridors and extensive alteration zones. Orano is the majority owner with 74.7% and operator at the project with Skyharbour now owning the remaining minority interest of 25.3%.\n \n\n\n Location Map of Preston Project:\n \n\n\n\n https://skyharbourltd.com/_resources/maps/Sky_Preston-2025_12_08.jpg\n \n\n\n\n\n\n 2026 Exploration Campaign at Preston:\n \n\n\n The proposed 2026 exploration campaign will include a large-scale Airborne Gravity Gradiometry (AGG) survey, which will cover the full priority corridor in the northern portion of the property. This work will include the FSAN and Canoe Lake grids, both of which were highlighted as the most prospective areas after the 2025 drilling season. The AGG survey is expected to refine discrete gravity lows, identify structural trends, and help delineate potential hydrothermal or alteration-related footprints across the broader claim area. Following the airborne work, Orano intends to complete detailed ground gravity surveys using tight station spacing of 25 by 25 metres or 50 by 50 metres. These surveys will focus on key zones within the proposed dri...
