Vancouver, BC -- Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: SYH) announces that it has now completed its winter mineral exploration program on its 100% owned land holdings in the Rainy River district of Northwestern Ontario.

As previously announced, Skyharbour has established grids on two of its properties and has now completed detailed magnetometer and electro-magnetic (horizontal loop EM) geophysical surveys. The geophysical data has enhanced and further delineated the stratographic and structural features, as seen in previous airborne geophysical surveys.
Skyharbour has also undertaken an overburden drill program on its 100% owned "D1 ", "D2", and "E" claim blocks in the Rainy River district. A total of 35 overburden drill holes were completed for an approximate total of 1,300 metres drilled. All samples have now been submitted to the laboratory for analysis. The Company expects assay results in the next 4-6 weeks from the large amount of till samples collected from the overburden drilling. The shallow drill program also managed to collect rock chip samples (approx. 1 metre into the bedrock) at the bottom of all the holes drilled. These samples have all been submitted to TSL Laboratories for analysis also.
The properties owned by Skyharbour all appear to be underlain mainly by mafic volcanic rocks. Much of area here has very limited geological exposure due to thick overburden cover. Previous exploration in this general area by Rainy River Resources / Nuinsco Resources has involved a great deal of overburden drilling due to the limited nature of the geological exposure. Previous gold values encountered in the till sampling in this area indicate potential for gold rich volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits. The bulk of the gold mineralization outlined to date on the Rainy River Resources project to the immediate east of the Skyharbour ground shows a clear association with crosscutting structures evident from regional geophysical surveys conducted.

All assay results from the overburden drill program complimenting the new geophysical data will further enhance drill targets on Skyharbour's Rainy River claims in preparation for a Phase 1 diamond deeper drill program scheduled for spring 2007.
