VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:SYH) (OTCQB:SYHBF) (Frankfurt:SC1P) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its partner company Azincourt Energy Corp.

The program will be comprised of a horizontal loop electromagnetic survey (“HLEM”) to refine and help prioritize areas where untested conductive corridors have been identified in existing property-wide airborne VTEM survey results. A total of 33 line-km of HLEM surveying will be completed, commencing in late November and early December. The survey was originally scheduled for the summer but has been delayed due to Covid-19 restrictions and disruptions.

A diamond drilling program is anticipated for follow-up to continue to test prospective conductor trends on the property. Target selection will be finalized after Azincourt interprets the results of the HLEM survey and reviews the existing target inventory.

“The collection of this data and refinement of conductor locations within the identified corridors will ensure that our highest priority targets are being targeted and tested effectively,” said Azincourt Exploration Manager, Trevor Perkins.
