Rhea-AI Summary
Skyharbour Resources has entered into an option agreement with Mustang Energy for its 914W Uranium Project in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. Under the agreement, Mustang can acquire a 75% interest by issuing CAD $480,000 in shares, making CAD $275,000 in cash payments, and spending CAD $800,000 on exploration over three years.

Despite its strategic location and promising geology, the project remains underexplored. Historical exploration revealed uranium occurrences nearby, with values up to 1,288 ppm U in drilling and 0.64% U3O8 in surface trenching.

914W Property Summary:
The 914W Project consists of one claim covering 1,260 hectares approximately 48 km southwest of Cameco’s Key Lake Operation. Highway 914 runs through the western edge of the project, providing excellent access for exploration. Historical geological mapping of the property and the surrounding area has shown that the project is predominantly underlain by prospective Wollaston Supergroup pelitic and psammitic to arkosic gneisses of the Western Wollaston Domain, which host significant unconformity-related uranium mineralization further to the north in the Athabasca Basin as well as pegmatite-hosted uranium mineralization elsewhere in the Wollaston Domain.

Despite the project’s proximity to Highway 914 and prospective geology, the project has seen limited modern exploration work. The earliest work on the 914W property included airborne EM and magnetic surveys and ground geological reconnaissance in 1968-1970, lake water and sediment sampling in 1976, ground VLF-EM, magnetic, and radiometric surveys, geological mapping, trenching, as well as sampling on the project and surrounding areas. Immediately to the north of the 914W property, prospecting led to the discovery of the Scurry Rainbow Zone E (SMDI1961) and the Don Lake Trenches (SMDI 1983), where up to 1,288 ppm U was encountered in drill hole ML-1 (SMDI1961) in a pyroxene-rich unit, and surface prospecting revealed up to
