Cypress Receives Drilling Permits For Gunman

VANCOUVER - Cypress Development Corp. reported that it has been advised by the United States Department of the Interior (Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Nevada) that Cypress' application of a Notice of Intent to conduct exploration activity at its wholly owned 1140 acre Gunman zinc-silver-gold project in the Diamond Range, White Pine County, Nevada, has been received and approved by the BLM.

Cypress Development's Gunman project is well located on the southern extent of the Carlin Trend and contains carbonates replacement style, high grade zinc and silver oxide mineralization. It is the Company's intent to extend this type of mineralization along strike while also closely monitoring gold and trace element data. A planned 2014 Phase 1 Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program is expected to commence in early spring.

Cypress Development is now moving forward with a tendering process to select a drill contractor that will complete the 2014 Phase 1, RC drill program this spring. Phase 1 RC drilling will consist, in part, of a confirmation drill program of the high grade RH zone in order to provide high quality data to complete independent resource estimation at Gunman and to obtain large samples of mineralization for metal recovery studies.

Cominco Ltd. conducted a due diligence investigation of the Gunman project following the discovery of very high zinc and silver mineralization by Cypress in 2000. As part of the due diligence work, Cominco conducted a series of zinc assays using an acetic acid leach method. The results indicate that zinc recovery from oxidized mineralization at Gunman by acetic acid leaching is excellent
