Jurisdiction (40%)9/10
Saskatchewan: Fraser PPI 2025 is 92.90 of 100 (rank 8 of 68), which maps to 9 on this site's scale. Saskatchewan, Canada — the Athabasca Basin is the world's premier, top-tier uranium mining jurisdiction.
Infrastructure (40%)6.4/10
Confirmed road access at Moore Uranium Project & Russell Lake JV, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan; existing mill, grid power, and tailings facility not yet researched, counted at a neutral 5/10 until established.

No project coordinates on file yet, so distance to a producing mine can't be measured.
Acquisition Susceptibility
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal in the research, a producer that already owns part of the company, is scored from its disclosed strategic shareholders. A producer that is a joint-venture or earn-in partner on the project, rather than a shareholder, isn't captured yet.
How this score is built
- Disclosed pending dealSub-score: Not scored
No pending acquisition or merger disclosed (checked)
Not scored: having no deal in flight isn't held against a company.
Weight 26.25% - Producer's strategic stakeSub-score: Not scored
No producer holds a disclosed stake on file (holder register researched) See holders
Not scored: most juniors that do get bought had no prior toehold, so a missing stake says little either way.

Distance not yet researched: no project coordinates on file
Distance can't be measured without coordinates, so excluded rather than counted as far.

Skyharbour Resources Ltd. generates and stakes exploration projects, then brings in joint-venture partners to fund the drilling in exchange for Skyharbour retaining a carried interest, royalty, or reduced equity stake — spreading exposure across multiple projects while avoiding the shareholder dilution a self-funded drill program requires. The projects below are the company's own designated material/flagship JVs; only figures the company has actually disclosed are shown, nothing here is estimated.
Rick Rule's framework: synthetic revenue = partner spend x retained carry %; synthetic profit = total synthetic revenue minus real operating costs. Based on 1 of 3 tracked JVs with both a committed spend and a retained equity percentage on file. Computed from the JV partner's disclosed spending commitment (deal size), not actual cumulative spend to date: spend-to-date isn't reported, so this uses the commitment. Early in a multi-year earn-in the two can differ substantially, so treat this as an upper-bound, illustrative figure, not Rick Rule's literal "gross expenditures to date" measure. Royalty-only JVs (a royalty percentage with no retained carried-interest percentage) aren't included, since they have no carry for a partner's spend to be multiplied against.
| Project | Commodity | JV Partner | Retained | Committed Spend | Synthetic Revenue | Spend Active | Stage |

Russell Lake JV (RL / Wheeler North / Getty East / Wheeler River Inliers) Canada (Saskatchewan) Skyharbour and Denison Mines restructured the Russell Lake property into four joint-venture claim blocks (total package valued at C$61.5M in combined cash and exploration commitments), after Skyharbour bought out Rio Tinto's roughly 42.3% minority interest in Russell Lake for C$10 million in December 2025, consolidating 100% of the project: Russell Lake (RL, 53,219ha) -- Skyharbour 80% operator, Denison 20% (must fund pro-rata up to C$10M to maintain position); Wheeler North (16,361ha) -- Skyharbour 51%, Denison 49% earning to 70% (C$10M expl.+C$1.5M cash within 48mo for 60%, +C$15M expl.+C$2M cash within 7yr for 70%), Denison operator; Getty East (3,105ha) -- Skyharbour 70% operator, Denison 30% earning to 70% (C$5M expl. within 48mo for 49%, +C$10M expl. within 7yr for 70%); Wheeler River Inliers (608ha) -- Denison 70% operator, Skyharbour 30%. | Uranium | Denison Mines Corp.

Preston Canada (Saskatchewan) Orano Canada Inc. (formerly AREVA Resources) signed an option agreement in Mar 2017 to earn a majority working interest in the 49,635ha Preston Uranium Project; Orano fulfilled its 51% earn-in in early 2021 through funded exploration and cash payments and now holds a 79.2% interest as operator, with Skyharbour retaining the remaining 20.8%. | Uranium | Orano Canada Inc. Major | 20.8% project interest | $4.8MCAD 4,800,000 (not USD -- native currency, unconverted, per this table's convention). Orano's completed first earn-in (fulfilled early 2021) required CAD $2.8M in staged exploration expenditures plus CAD $200,000 in cash payments over three years for 51%; Orano's total exploration spend on the project at the point the JV was formed was CAD $4.8M, which is the figure recorded here. Stage caveat: at that C$4.8M the split was Orano 51% / Skyharbour 24.5% / Dixie Gold 24.5%. The original option contemplated up to CAD $8,000,000 for up to 70%; Orano is now beyond that ceiling, so no disclosed commitment corresponds to the current 79.2/20.8 split. | $998.4K | Active | Grassroots Exploration |

Skyharbour Resources is a uranium explorer and prospect generator in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, with a portfolio of company-operated and partner-funded projects that includes joint ventures with Denison Mines at Russell Lake and Orano Canada at Preston. Its 100%-owned Moore project hosts the high-grade Maverick zone, where hole ML25-15 returned 4.84% U3O8 over 4.4 m, including 11.77% over 1.6 m, and a maiden resource estimate for Moore is targeted for 2026. Drilling for Phase I of a planned 8,000 to 10,000 m program at Moore began in April 2026, after the company received a renewed three-year drill permit valid through March 2029. The portfolio's only current resource is at the Falcon Point property, an inferred 10.4 Mt at 0.03% U3O8 containing 7.0 Mlb of U3O8 plus 5.3 Mlb of ThO2 at 0.023%, and that ground is optioned to Terra Clean Energy, which can earn up to 75% and is the operator. No preliminary economic assessment or more advanced study has been completed on any Skyharbour project.
