Skybridge also announces that it has granted 950,000 options to purchase common shares of the Company to officers, directors, employees and consultants to the Company, at an exercise price of $0.65 per share, expiring July 30, 2013, under the 2008 Stock Option Plan. The Plan provides for Board discretion to issue incentive share options up to a maximum of 10% of issued and outstanding shares on a "rolling" basis.

The Company has recently announced drill discovery of the high grade Blue Caribou Copper Zone at its Blue Caribou Project in western Nunavut (announced July 16, 2008). The deposit is open down dip and drilling continues. Skybridge management and Board of Directors are experienced and successful Arctic explorers and developers and believe that a stable source of supply from tidewater-accessible world-class mineral deposits and a favourable political climate around Canada's sovereignty in the Arctic, will ultimately establish Nunavut and the Northwest Territories as Canada's next great mining district. The company is well financed and actively considering additional acquisitions in the Arctic and elsewhere as a catalyst for growth.
