Cypress & Skyharbour Hire Gold Eagle Mines' Drillers to Begin 2nd Drill Hole at Broulan Reef Bruce Channel / Red Lake Gold Project

Cypress Development Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CYP) (FRANKFURT:C1Z) and Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SYH) announce that they have now mobilized a 2nd deep penetration drill rig onto 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 Goldcorp Gold Eagle Mines major gold deposit in the Bruce Channel zone.

Cypress and Skyharbour have contracted to Chibougamau Diamond Drilling Ltd to further explore the Broulan Reef gold project. Drill hole BR08-2A is being located approximately 400 metres to the north of the companies drill hole BR08-1A on the east side of the Bruce Channel. With permission received from Goldcorp, the collar of hole BR08-2A will be established on Goldcorp's newly acquired surface/mineral rights Gold Eagle Mines claims. This mother hole is targeted to an approximate length of 2400 metres and will extend into the northernmost claim unit held by Cypress Development and Skyharbour Resources. Several wedge holes will be established from this mother hole. The drill and necessary equipment are being mobilized to the property at this time, with drilling to commence immediately.

Chibougamau Drilling is well established in the Red Lake area and have been the lead driller for Gold Eagle Mines for several years. On September 25th, Goldcorp Inc. announced that the acquisition of Gold Eagle Mines by Goldcorp has been completed. Chibougamau continues to drill for Goldcorp on the Gold Eagle Mines project adjoining Cypress / Skyharbour Broulan Reef property to the north. Cypress and Skyharbour will continue to explore for the extension of Gold Eagle Mine's major gold deposit in the Balmer Assemblage under the waters of the Bruce Channel in Red Lake, Ontario.

Drilling continues on Cypress' and Skyharbour's first deep hole BR08-1A by Cabo Drilling. At this time the hole is approximately 2160 metres in length, with an anticipated length of the hole to be about 2400 metres. Although behind schedule, the companies are confident that this hole will be completed to target depth and followed with several wedge holes to be completed from this mother hole.

In common with Goldcorp's Red Lake mine, Campbell mine, and Cochenour-Willans mine, and the announced Gold Eagle Mines major deposit now owned by Goldcorp, 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 now being developed by Goldcorp on the Gold Eagle Mines project. 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. Goldcorp is continuing to drill and expand the Gold Eagle Mines 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.

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. The companies have approximately $6.5 million in working capital and both Cypress and Skyharbour have no debt.
