Cypress Development Corp. (TSX-V: CYP) (FWB: C1Z) and Skyharbour Resources Ltd.
(TSX-V: SYH) are pleased to provide 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.
