Vancouver, BC - Cypress Development Corp. (TSX-V: CYP) (FWB: C1Z) and Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SYH) have provided an update from the field on their deep diamond hole drill program on Cypress (80%), Skyharbour (20%) owned Broulan Reef Project located in the heart of the prolific Red Lake gold camp in Northwestern Ontario. The Broulan Reef property adjoins, on strike, to the southern boundary of the Cochenour / Bruce Channel major gold deposit now being brought to the production stage by Goldcorp.

Drill hole BR 09-2 is targeting the known gold hosted North / South Shear Zone that hosts the Bruce Channel deposit of Goldcorp and extends on to the Broulan Reef property. The deep hole drilling is allowing Cypress / Skyharbour to explore for high grade, gold zones at a depth of 2500 to 2900 metres just 800 metres south-southwest of Goldcorp's Bruce Channel gold deposit.
Chibougamau Diamond Drilling has now completed BR09--2 to a depth of 2738 metres and has maintained the hole is very good order and on track to intersect the targeted depth. Drillers have encountered blocky and fractured ground over a small interval at depth and have informed the companies the establishment of a wedge hole would be advisable. Therefore a wedge has been established at 2440 metres and drilling has resumed.
The companies are very pleased with the geology encountered so far.
The drill hole encountered the North-South shear at 2676 metres in the hole and continued to the point at 2738 metres. It consists of strongly sheared and brecciated carbonate and carbonate veins. Calcite is pervasive throughout. Strong biotite rich zones up to 10 meters thick occur within the shear. This may be remnants of highly altered mafic dikes. Magnetite as wisps and actinolite as fine disseminations occur in the lower part of the shear. The Bruce Channel gold deposits occur in the footwall of the extensive North South shear.
Cypress Development has also contracted to Quantec Geoscience to conduct a "Spartan" Deep Penetrating MT Survey on its acreage in the Bruce Channel area. The exploration objective of the Spartan MT logger survey at the Bruce channel is to detect structure, alteration zones and lithology potentially related to mineralization from depths of 2000 metres to 3000 metres. The mapping of the resistivity of the subsurface of the Broulan Reef project to significant depths and the follow up geological interpretations are expected to provide large new benefits to Cypress and Skyharbour in keeping with additional or new subsurface information provided from the survey.
