Cypress & Skyharbour Enter Balmer Assemblage
on their Bruce Channel / Red Lake Drill Program
Vancouver, BC - Cypress Development Corp. (TSX-V: CYP) (FWB: C1Z) and
Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SYH) are pleased provides an
update from the field regarding its ongoing drill program on their
Cypress (80%) Skyharbour (20%) owned Broulan Reef property in Red
Lake, Northwestern Ontario. The Broulan Reef property is situated
along the prolific Red Lake trend, west of Goldcorp Inc's operating
Red Lake and Campbell Mines, and immediately southwest of the Gold
Eagle Mines recent major gold discovery in the Bruce Channel zone.

Cypress and Skyharbour's drilling indicates they have encountered
mafic / ultra mafic units that are found in the Balmer Assemblage
series of rocks at approximately 1450 metres. Sulphides are seen to
be pervasive throughout the Balmer Assemblage, consisting of mainly
phyrrotite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, and arsenopyrite is also present.
Drilling of the main hole has now been competed to 1752 metres and
drilling continues with an anticipated depth of this mother hole to
approximately 2200 to 2400 metres. Drilling proceeds at a cautious
but steady pace. This will ensure that the main hole maintains
stability to allow Cypress and Skyharbour to establish a series of
wedge off holes from the main hole to properly explore the rocks of
the Balmer Assemblage that are now known to host a major gold deposit
in the Bruce Channel zone. The companies are pleased with the
progress of the drilling over the last several weeks and look to
continue with the rate of footage being attained at this time.
In common with Goldcorp's Red Lake mine, Campbell mine, and
Cochenour-Willans mine, and the recently announced Gold Eagle Mines
major discovery, the Broulan Reef property lies within the Balmer
Assemblage. The structural and mineralogical characteristics are
similar to the aforementioned mines. Gold can be found in both its
native form, as well as within sulphide rich zones.
The plan for this drill program is to explore the southern extension
of the Bruce Channel deposit which is being developed by Gold Eagle
Mines. The Bruce Channel zone is inferred to extend on strike onto
the Cypress and Skyharbour owned Broulan Reef property.
The past year has seen an extensive amount of activity focused on the
Bruce Channel. Gold Eagle Mines has continued to drill and expand
the discovery zone to the south southwest toward the Broulan Reef
property. Goldcorp continues to drill on the north boundary of the
Bruce Channel discovery zone near Goldcorp's past-producing
Cochenour-Willans mine. Cypress and Skyharbour continue to drill on
the southern boundary of the Bruce Channel discovery zone.

On July 31st, Mr. Kevin McArthur, President of Goldcorp, reported
that Goldcorp Inc. and Gold Eagle Mines Ltd. have signed an agreement
whereby Goldcorp will acquire, through a friendly plan of
arrangement, all outstanding shares of Gold Eagle Mines.
Cypress Development's and Skyharbour Resources' Broulan Reef property
is now the only property along the productive Bruce Channel trend
that is not now controlled by Goldcorp.
