Summary of Recently Staked Properties:

Carter North:

The newly staked Carter North Project consists of ten mineral claims, nine of which are contiguous, with one standalone claim, totaling 36,393 hectares. The project is located in the western Athabasca Basin, adjacent to Cameco’s North Williams Project, approximately 35 kilometres northeast of NexGen Energy’s Arrow Deposit and 164 kilometres north of the community of La Loche. The project is underlain by approximately 800 to 965 metres of Athabasca Basin sandstones and conglomerates overlying the Tantano Domain. The property covers interpreted extensions of the Patterson Lake, Derkson and Carter conductive corridors and is located along strike to the northeast of the Arrow and Triple R deposits.

Carter North Project Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SkyHarbour_CarterNorth.jpg

The project area has undergone a variety of historical exploration programs periodically between 1969 and 2023, consisting mostly of airborne radiometrics, EM (Input, GEOTEM, MEGATEM, ZTEM, and Mobile MT), ground gravity surveying, as well as prospecting, soil sampling, lake sediment sampling and boulder sampling. Two drill holes have been completed on the property, only one of which (BL-08-01) intersected the sandstone–basement unconformity. This hole returned 155 ppb Au over 0.5 metres in a sample collected immediately above the basal unconformity within Athabasca sandstone (SMDI 3075). This gold anomaly is considered significant, as gold enrichment can be associated with unconformity-related uranium mineralizing systems in the Athabasca Basin.

In addition, a historical lake sediment geochemical survey completed in 1980 reported a highly anomalous uranium value of 240 ppm U in sample SLB-80-69 (AF 74K02-0013), collected at a reconnaissance scale of approximately one sample per square kilometre, confirming a strong uranium anomaly on the property.

The most recent exploration work conducted on the Carter North property consisted of a MobileMT survey in 2023 by Stallion Uranium, which detected numerous basement conductors on the Carter North property, including trends interpreted as the extensions of the Patterson Lake, Carter, and Derksen trends, which are host to some of the world’s highest-grade uranium deposits to the southwest along trend, including the Arrow and Triple R uranium deposits.

Rover:

The newly staked Rover Project consists of a single claim totalling approximately 793 hectares located approximately 40 kilometres east of Cameco’s McArthur River Mine, 31 kilometers southeast of the Cigar Lake Mine, and 68 kilometers west of the community of Wollaston Lake. Historical exploration extended over a long-time span, from the late 1960’s through the early 1990’s, with most of the work being completed in the 1970’s. The property is located within the Athabasca Basin and is underlain by a shallow cover of Athabasca Group Sandstones, which in turn overly the Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks of the Wollaston Supergroup.

Rover Project Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SkyHarbour_Rover.jpg

In 1994, Cameco conducted two ground prospectivity surveys on the property, targeting Pb-Zn-Ni anomalies. More recent work included airborne geophysics (VTEM and Horizontal Magnetic Gradiometer surveys) conducted by Phalanx Disposition Ltd. on behalf of Athabasca Uranium Inc. in 2013. In addition, Abasca Minerals and Athabasca Uranium completed a 455 line-kilometer HeliFALCON Gravity survey over two grids on the property. One drill hole (4675-001-79) was completed on the property in 1979, intersecting 133.7m of Athabasca sandstone, with a total depth of 151.5m. Aside from this single hole, the property remains largely untested by diamond drilling.

East Dufferin:

The East Dufferin Project consists of a single newly staked claim totalling 1,451 ha and is located immediately south of the southern margin of the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan, approximately 4 km west of Skyharbour’s South Dufferin project, which is currently under option to UraEx Resources. The project is underlain by Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary gneisses of the Mudjatik Domain overlying Archean granitoid gneisses and is situated immediately to the east of the Virgin River Shear Zone, which hosts the Centennial Zone uranium deposit approximately 26 km to the north of the East Dufferin project.

East Dufferin Project Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SkyHarbour_EastDufferin.jpg

Exploration work on the property between 1969 and 2010 included a variety of airborne EM, gravity, magnetic, and radiometric surveys, as well as ground magnetic and EM surveys, surficial geochemical sampling (including lake and stream water, lake sediment and vegetation sampling), prospecting and geological mapping. The most recent work consisting of ZTEM and airborne full tensor gravity (FTG) surveys completed by JNR Resources in 2009 and 2010. Prior exploration identified a broad zone of increased conductivity and moderate magnetic activity associated with a magnetic linear feature on the East Dufferin project, situated between strong EM conductors located just off the property to the north and east.

Brustad Project:

The Brustad project consists of one newly staked mineral claim totaling 791 hectares, located approximately 21 km east of Skyharbour’s South Dufferin property. The property is located just south of the southern Athabasca Basin margin in the Mudjatik Domain of northern Saskatchewan, with the basement rocks underlying the property including Archean granitoid gneisses and subordinate Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary gneisses.

Brustad Project Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SkyHarbour_Brustad.jpg

Historical exploration on the property includes airborne electromagnetics (AFMAG, MobileMT, GeoTEM, Input), magnetic and radiometric surveys, and limited prospecting, mapping, vegetation, and lake sediment sampling. No drilling has taken place on the project, but recent airborne geophysical surveys identified a north-south trending EM conductor running alongside the western edge of the property adjacent to a NW trending aeromagnetic low.

914 and Elevator Projects:

The 914 and Elevator Projects now comprise a total of thirteen mineral claims forming two contiguous claim blocks, covering 13,785 hectares. The 914 Project consists of seven contiguous claims totaling 4,031 hectares including four newly staked claims totaling 2,898 hectares. The Elevator Project consists of six contiguous claims totaling 9,754 hectares including four newly staked claims totaling 1,742 hectares. Both projects are located 35 to 55 km south of Cameco’s Key Lake Operation. The 914 Project lies 1 km east of Provincial Highway 914, while the Elevator Project is 12 km east of Highway 914, which provides access to the properties from southern Saskatchewan.

914 and Elevator Project Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SkyHarbour_914.jpg

Geological mapping and prospecting completed on and in the vicinity of the properties indicate that they are underlain by Wollaston Supergroup metasedimentary gneisses and Archean granitic to tonalitic gneisses of the Western Wollaston Domain, a geological setting known for basement-hosted, unconformity-related uranium mineralization elsewhere in the Athabasca Basin.

Extensive exploration was carried out on and around the properties during the 1970’s, including magnetic, gravity, and electromagnetic surveys, geological mapping, prospecting, and boulder and sediment sampling. Modern work has been limited, consisting of partial airborne VTEM coverage, light ground prospecting, and lake sediment sampling. The newly staked claims are positioned along the margins of regional-scale fold structures, with recent airborne magnetic data revealing additional geological complexity not captured in earlier mapping. Multiple uranium and REE showings exist in the surrounding area around the claims. The same basement rocks found on the 914 and Elevator Projects host unconformity-related and pegmatite-hosted uranium, thorium, and REE mineralization, and fault-hosted flake graphite elsewhere in the region.

Pendleton:

The Pendleton Project consists of four non-contiguous mineral claims totalling 5,338 ha including one recently staked claim totalling 1,448 ha, and is located approximately 70 km southeast of Cameco’s Key Lake Operation and 114 km northwest of the community of Southend. The Pendleton project lies along the Needle Falls Shear Zone at the boundary between the eastern Wollaston Domain and the western Peter Lake Domain. It is underlain by the Wollaston Supergroup metasedimentary rocks including psammopelitic, pelitic, and graphitic pelitic gneisses, as well as mylonitic and cataclastic rocks of the Needle Falls Shear zone and Archean granitoid gneisses, diorites, and gabbros of the Johnson River Inlier and Swan River Complex.

Pendleton Project Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SkyHarbour_Pendleton.jpg

The initial exploration work on the project was conducted in the 1970’s and 1980’s, consisting of airborne magnetic, radiometric, and EM surveys, as well as prospecting and geochemical sampling. Additional modern exploration included an airborne GEOTEM survey in 2004, ground prospecting and geochemical sampling. A single drill hole (PL-003) completed following the 2007 HLEM survey intersected faulted and sheared graphitic pelitic gneiss and returned anomalous concentrations of several pathfinder elements. The project is considered prospective for basement-hosted, unconformity-related uranium deposits, as well as pegmatite-hosted U-Th-REE mineralization and/or sediment-hosted Pb-Zn-Cu mineralization.

Yurchison:

The Yurchison Project has been expanded through the staking of sixteen additional mineral claims totaling 16,966 hectares, increasing the project’s total land package to 35,029 hectares. The expanded project consolidates the former Yurchison and Spence properties into a single land package. The Yurchison Project is located approximately 75 to 85 km south of Cameco’s Rabbit Lake operation, with Highway 905 located within 1 km of the westernmost claims. The project is underlain by Wollaston Supergroup metasedimentary gneisses, including psammopelitic to pelitic gneisses, graphitic pelitic gneisses adjacent to Archean granitic gneisses in the Eastern Wollaston Domain.

Yurchison Project Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SkyHarbour_Yurchison.jpg

The project area has seen significant historical exploration including airborne electromagnetic, magnetic, and radiometric surveys, as well as ground magnetic, EM, IP, and gravity surveys, prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and drilling. The drilling was primarily conducted between the 1960’s and 1980’s with additional work completed in the mid-1990’s and 2000’s. The historical exploration on the eastern side of the property was largely focused on exploring SEDEX-style Pb-Zn mineralization following the discovery of the historic George Lake Pb-Zn Deposit adjacent to the property.

The majority of the work on the property was completed before 2000, with minimal follow-up since, and most of the property remains underexplored. There are several uranium, molybdenum, and thorium showings on the project, which remains highly prospective for both basement-hosted uranium, pegmatite-hosted U-Th-REE, and sediment-hosted Cu-Pb-Zn mineralization. The most recent work on the property included airborne EM (VTEM and VLF-EM), magnetics, and radiometrics surveys flown in 2022 and 2023.

Tarku Project:

The Tarku Project consists of three claims, totalling 8,262 ha, including one newly staked claim covering 2,384 ha, and is located adjacent to Skyharbour’s South Dufferin Project, which is currently under option to UraEx Resources. The property covers the southern extension of the Virgin River Shear Zone, which hosts high-grade uranium mineralization at Cameco’s Dufferin Lake zone, approximately 32 kilometres to the north, with drill results of 1.73% U₃O₈ over 6.5 metres, and the Centennial deposit, approximately 47 kilometres to the north, which includes historical drill intersections of 8.78% U₃O₈ over 33.9 metres.

Tarku Project Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SkyHarbour_Tarku.jpg

Historical exploration on the property includes airborne EM, magnetic, and radiometric surveys, lake water and sediment sampling, prospecting, ground-truthing of anomalies, geological mapping, and diamond drilling. The project offers strong potential for basement-hosted, unconformity-related uranium mineralization along the Virgin River Shear Zone trend.

South Dufferin:

The South Dufferin Project has been expanded through the staking of one additional mineral claim totaling 49 hectares, increasing the project’s total land package to 39,398 hectares across 25 claims. The South Dufferin project is located immediately south of the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan and covers the southern extension of the Virgin River Shear Zone, which hosts known high-grade uranium mineralization at Cameco’s Dufferin Lake zone approximately 13 kilometres to the north and Cameco’s Centennial deposit approximately 25 kilometres to the north. In October of 2024, Skyharbour entered into an option agreement with a private company, UraEx Resources Inc., whereby UraEx may acquire up to a 100% interest in the Company’s South Dufferin Uranium Project.

South Dufferin Property Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SkyHarbour_SouthDufferin.jpg

Historical exploration work on South Dufferin consists of airborne EM, magnetic, gravity and radiometric surveys, lake water and sediment sampling, prospecting and ground-truthing of airborne anomalies, geological mapping, and diamond drilling. Some of the historical drill holes intersected elevated uranium with locally anomalous base metal and boron concentrations as well as significant clay alteration.

Exploration potential exists for basement-hosted uranium mineralization associated with the Dufferin Lake fault and parallel faults within the Virgin Lake Shear zone. With numerous mineralized showings to the north of the project, exploration efforts at South Dufferin have advanced the project to a discovery-ready state. The project is drill-ready with several prospective targets warranting follow up work, and most recently underwent diamond drilling by Skyharbour’s partner UraEx in the summer of 2025.

Steadright thanks the management of CFM for their good work and due diligence on behalf of this Mineral License. Steadright and CFM have agreed to place the Exploration Permit into NSM Capital Sarl, which is a Moroccan Company, controlled and managed in Morocco. Steadright and CFM are shareholders in NSM Capital Sarl, with Steadright controlling 75% through an active shareholders agreement registered in Morocco.

  

Project overview and location advantages

 

The project lies within a mining‑friendly jurisdiction, as Morocco continues to be ‘open for business’ for responsible mineral development. The licensed area benefits from existing roadway access that enables the cost‑effective mobilization of crews and equipment, significantly reducing the need for new road construction. This existing infrastructure, coupled with proximity to services and supportive local communities, provides a practical foundation for efficient exploration.

 

Geological Context

 

Exploration Permit No. 3843143 is underlain by dolomitic formations that have proven receptive to mineralizing fluids over time. These carbonate rocks host a series of veins carrying copper and lead, with silver values also reported.

The system shows characteristics of a carbonate‑hosted polymetallic deposit, with evidence of epithermal overprinting in the oxidized zones.

 

Copper mineralization is visible at surface in the form of azurite and malachite, striking blue and green copper carbonates that confirm enrichment through weathering. Lead mineralization is concentrated in Vein 1, where assays have returned exceptionally high grades, including values up to 46.34% Pb and 48 g/t Ag. Together, these results point to a system with a potential of delivering both high‑grade shoots and larger tonnage envelopes.

The structural framework of the dolomite — fractures, dilation zones, and cross‑cutting features — has acted as pathways for mineralizing solutions. Historical artisanal workings confirm that these structures host mineralized shoots, while modern exploration now has the tools to follow them deeper and across strike. This geological setting is consistent with carbonate‑hosted polymetallic systems seen elsewhere in Morocco, where copper, lead, and silver associations have supported successful mining operations. The success of AYA Gold & Silver’s Zgounder Mine demonstrates the region’s potential and highlights Morocco’s supportive environment for responsible mineral development. Steadright’s copper-lead-silver project is a potential continuation of these opportunities present, offering both geological promise and practical access to infrastructure.

 

The veins on the project area exhibit thicknesses ranging from approximately 0.50 to 4.00 m. According to their orientation, the strike of these vein structures ranges from NE–SW to NNE–SSW. During the most recent field visits, a set of copper and lead indications were identified within the carbonates and along the major regional fault of Tizi n’Test all hosted within the same marly to marly‑sandstone facies.  A number of these occurrences have been subject to exploitation (artisanal mining) of varying duration. See Figures 5 and 6. The steeply-dipping veins exhibit characteristics consistent with known copper-lead-silver veins throughout the mining district.

Exploration targets (conceptual ranges)

 

The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

 

Based on the mapping, structural geology, artisanal mining in the area illustrating lateral continuity, the project identifies a potential range for the Exploration Target indicated below in Table 1 Exploration Target. The wide range of tons is based on the initial report interpreting a conservative low tonnage based on the limit of 50m down dip and strike length confined to visible surface exposure. The veins have not been constrained at depth or laterally, thereby indicating that the exploration potential can by expanded. The limits used in the ‘high tonnage’ scenario extends the strike and down dip by 500m in each direction, considered a reasonable approach in this environment.

  

Table 1. Conceptual Exploration Target.

The Conceptual Exploration Target is based on mapped structure lengths from surface workings and recent site investigations by  STE MINIERE EMTF SARL AU, a Moroccan service company specializing in industrial infrastructure and mining development.  Documented vein widths up to 4m have been mapped with lateral extents limited by surface mapping up to 400m; down-dip for the low tonnage scenario are limited to 50m while it is reasonable to expect extensions to 500 meters potential vertical depth. Both the lateral extent and down dip are open at this time, but the exploration target is limited to 800m maximum length and ~500m down dip. Grade ranges utilize estimates based on assays and mapping; there are no known drill intersections on which to rely. The exploration target provides an upper and lower grade limit range based upon an average grade for the veins for copper and lead based on mapping and sampling.

 

Planned work program

 

Steadright will advance a phased exploration program intended to refine structural understanding, confirm grade continuity, and test depth potential:

 

•         Structural and geological mapping: High‑resolution mapping to constrain vein

orientations, kinematics, and host lithologies; integration with

alteration/mineralization mapping.

 

•         Surface geochemistry: Systematic channel sampling and select rock

geochemical surveys to vector toward higher‑grade zones and support model

calibration.

 

•         Geophysical surveys: Ground geophysics (e.g., EM/resistivity and magnetic

methods as appropriate) to delineate conductive/structural corridors, refine vein

geometries, and identify blind targets.

 

•         Data synthesis: Iterative 3D targeting integrating structural domains, geophysics,

and geochemistry to inform drill hole placement and meterage.

Existing roads enable rapid mobilization and staging of drill rigs, reducing upfront

logistics and accelerating the timeline to first holes.

•         Diamond drilling: Targeted holes to test vein continuity at depth and along strike,

with step‑outs designed from structural interpretations and preliminary

geochemical vectors.

 

Why this project, why now

 

•         Supportive jurisdiction: Morocco’s regulatory environment is increasingly

          supportive of responsible mineral development, enabling efficient permitting and

          community engagement.

•         Compelling geology: Dolomite‑hosted, structurally controlled veins with multiple

          mineralized corridors and indications of repeated mineralizing events.

•         Validation by history: Artisanal workings highlight zones of elevated grade and

          provide early targets for modern methods.

•         Scalable potential: Wide exploration target ranges reflect both high‑grade

          selective scenarios and larger‑scale tonnage possibilities.

•         Practical access: Existing road infrastructure reduces capital intensity and

          accelerates field execution.

  

Next steps and timeline

 

•         Complete structural mapping and geochemical profiling across priority corridors

 •         Finalize detailed geophysical work program and mobilize contractors.

•         Initiate Phase I diamond drilling to test high‑priority targets, with follow‑up holes

          guided by results.

•         Report ongoing results with transparent ranges and qualifiers consistent with NI

          43‑101.

 

Matt Lewis, CEO of Steadright, states, ‘I am very proud of this acquisition and the spirit of cooperation and friendship with which we secured it, working with our Canadian and Moroccan team and friends. We are all big believers in copper as a metal and really look forward to this property’s proper exploration.

 

As previously announced on September 16, 2025, etc. the CEO of Steadright holds an approximate 7.45% indirect interest in CFM through a 33% ownership in a private entity that owns approximately 22% of the common shares of CFM.  In addition, a consultant of the Company is the spouse of a former Director of Steadright. This person is the controlling shareholder of CFM and owns a majority of the common shares in CFM.

HIGHLIGHTS:

• 2025 Production of 34,098 GEOs (32,990 gold ounces and 80,527 silver ounces)

• Cash balance of US$41M as of December 31, 2025

Heliostar Metals Ltd. (TSXV: HSTR,OTC:HSTXF) (OTCQX: HSTXF) (FSE: RGG1) (‘Heliostar’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that it produced 8,459 Gold Equivalent Ounces (GEOs) (8,180 gold ounces and 21,494 silver ounces) in the three months ended December 31, 2025.

This resulted in a total production in calendar year 2025 of 34,098 GEOs (32,990 gold ounces and 80,527 silver ounces). As a result, the Company achieved its production guidance for 2025 of 31,000-41,000 GEOs (see news release dated February 4, 2025). Financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, will be reported during March 2026. Cash Costs and All-In Sustaining Costs (‘AISC‘) are expected to be within the guidance range.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a preliminary cash balance of US$41M and no debt. This provides a strong balance sheet for Heliostar’s 2026 growth initiatives, further supported by ongoing cash generated by operations.

 
Heliostar CEO, Charles Funk, commented, ‘This is a wonderful result for our first full year of gold production. Achieving our 2025 guidance was the result of the team successfully executing on the restart of operations at our two mines; La Colorada in January and San Agustin in December. The restart of San Agustin is expected to materially increase Heliostar’s year-on-year gold production in 2026, and we look forward to providing guidance for 2026 shortly. In addition to increasing production this year, we will be advancing Ana Paula through a feasibility study and recommencing the decline as we work toward our goal of becoming a 500,000 ounce per year producer by the end of the decade.’
