NEWS RELEASE
Major Geophysical Program Completed on South Bay
Cu-Zn Project
in NW Ontario
Vancouver, BC – Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX.V:
SYH) announces that the Company has now
completed a major geophysical program on its 100% owned South Bay copper
– zinc project located in Dent and Agnew Townships, Red Lake District,
Northwestern Ontario.
The South Bay
property consists of approx. 3,200 acres and covers the past producer South Baycopper – zinc mine and adjoining ground.
The South Bay deposit was mined by Selco between
1970 and 1982 and produced approximately 1.6 million tons of high grade
copper (1.5% Cu) and Zinc (10% Zn).

The 2007
winter exploration program consisted of the initial establishment of a
linecut grid (approx. 30 km). Skyharbour contracted to Quantec Geoscience
Ltd. to conduct a detailed geophysical survey, a Titan 24 DCIP & MT, over
its South Bay claims to further enhance the
known geological conductors. The survey was conducted and completed in
February and March 2007.
The Titan
24 survey is designed to locate potential sulfide zones and / or associated
alteration at depth and allow for mapping of the resistivity and
chargeability of the subsurface to significant depths (800+ metres) thus
assisting in geological interpretations.
Skyharbour
is anticipating the receipt of a geophysical survey data analysis report from
Quantec Geoscience in the near future from this South Bay
geophysical program. Skyharbour is of the opinion that the compilation of the
current geophysical data with past survey data and accumulated
underground exploration information carried out by the past producer,
“Selco”, will add to the significant potential of identifing new
Cu-Zn deposits on its South Bay property.
A major
geologic alteration is known to crosscut the stratigraphy on the South Bay property. The western margin of
the alteration coincides with a major lithological break between acid and
mafic volcanics and now is considered to be the principle target area. The
current geophysical methods allow for exploration to depths of up to 1000+
metres, opening up a very large prospective area for further exploration.
Skyharbour Resources
anticipates the continuation of an aggressive mineral exploration program
(including diamond drilling) through the rest of 2007.
