Red Lake, Northwestern Ontario
Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (the Company) announces it has completed a total of 1,464 metres of drilling in 6 diamond drill holes on the Company's 2,400 acres Sidace Lake property located in Red Lake, northwestern Ontario that is jointly held by Skyharbour Resources (SYH 70%) and Consolidated Abaddon Resources Inc. (ABN 30%). Extensions to the Sidace lake volcanic stratigraphy were intersected in this second phase of 2004 drilling. Quartz veining and limestone intersected in SL04-7 were barren and no gold values of consequence were encountered in any of the drilling.
Skyharbour Resources announces that it intends to continue in January 2005, with a drill program on its 5,100 acres Red Lake McKenzie Island property jointly held by Skyharbour Resources (SYH 20%) and Cypress Development Corp. (CYP 80%).

It is assumed that the granodiorite structure that is being methodically drilled by Southern Star/Exall has the potential to continue to extend to the west onto the Skyharour/Cypress property.
