Skyharbour Divests Non-Core Assets to Focus on Uranium Projects in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan

Vancouver, BC - Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SYH) (OTC Grey: SYHBF) (the “Company”) announces that it has signed a definitive agreement to sell its 100% interest in the South Bay Project and its 20% interest in the McKenzie Island Project to Cypress Development Corp. (TSX-V: CYP). In consideration for the property interests, Cypress will pay $40,000 in cash and issue 1 million common shares to Skyharbour.

Jordan Trimble, President and CEO of Skyharbour, stated: “This divestiture of non-core assets is consistent with Skyharbour’s goal of building a preeminent uranium exploration and development company. We have successfully monetized our interest in these legacy properties while still benefiting from any exploration upside potential on them with our shareholdings in Cypress. We are rapidly advancing our portfolio of uranium projects in the Basin, and this deal allows us to keep focused on the task at hand.”

Skyharbour and Cypress boards have common directors. The closing of the acquisition by Cypress is subject to standard conditions, including regulatory and TSX Venture Exchange approval.

The Company also announces that pursuant to its stock option plan, Skyharbour has granted incentive stock options to its various directors, officers, employees and consultants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,900,000 common shares in the capital stock of the Company, exercisable for a period of five years, at a price of $0.115 per share. The Company’s 10% rolling stock option plan was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on August 22, 2013. These options are subject to a four-month hold period.
