Developing the Blue Caribou Project in Nunavut, Canada

The Blue Caribou Property is a quartz rich, high grade copper and molybdenum prospect with byproduct silver and gold. Grades up to 9.6% copper, 0.07% molybdenum, 17.37 g/t silver and 0.31 g/t gold were obtained from select grab samples on the surface in 2007. The current (2008) minimum 3000m drill program at Blue Caribou has returned interim assays up to 3.62% copper over 8.9m (29.2ft) and 4.28% copper over 5.0m(16.4ft) using a 1% copper assay cutoff.

The Blue Caribou Gold Zone is a distinct gold identified on the property in the Company's independent NI 43-101 technical report, but never previously drilled. Gold values up to 7.3 g/t Au (grab) in the North Zone and 67.71 g/t Au (grab) in the South Zone are associated with an intensely altered volcanic sequence and an 8km magnetic high with quartz vein swarms and numerous as yet untested EM conductors. The Company is currently drilling this target as part of its current Phase 1 drill program.

These compelling gold and copper targets in a granodiorite-dominated terrane evoke an IOCG mineral deposit model near the intersection of the Bathurst Fault Zone and Thelon Front magmatic zone and suggest that the Skybridge management team may be on the verge of an exciting new discovery in the Arctic.
