CYPRESS BEGINS PHASE 3 EXPLORATION AT CLAYTON VALLEY LITHIUM BRINE/CLAY PROJECT IN NEVADA

In close conjunction with its project partner Pure Energy Minerals Ltd., Cypress Development Corp. has commenced a phase 3 property-wide surface sampling program at Cypress's 1,520-acre Clayton Valley lithium brine/clay project located in the heart of the Clayton Valley lithium exploration area of Esmeralda county, Nevada.

Cypress's Clayton Valley project is within 0.5 mile of lithium brine wells belonging to the Albemarle's Silver Peak mine and the property shares its western boundary with the lithium resource area of Pure Energy's Clayton Valley South project.

The sampling program is being carried out on a systematic grid program of 100-metre sample spacing. Cypress anticipates collecting in excess of 500 samples over the next few weeks. These additional surface samples are intended to complement previous sampling conducted by Cypress (see news releases Feb. 22, 2016, and May 10, 2016) which encountered a strongly mineralized zone, which averages 1,350 parts per million lithium on average along a one-kilometre strike length traversing from north to south on the west portion of the property.

The intent of this phase 3 program is to allow the company a property-wide view of lithium distribution contained in the surficial volcaniclastic, calcareous mudstone material that covers the property. This large volume of samples is being submitted for assaying with ALS Chemex in Reno, Nev., as they are collected. All samples submitted for assaying will be initially completed using a 33-element four-acid ICP contained in an ME-ICP61 analytical procedure. In addition to lithium, boron assays will also be completed for the surface grid sample program.

On Aug. 24, 2016, Cypress optioned its flagship Clayton Valley project to Pure Energy Minerals with Cypress remaining the operator of the project until Pure Energy earns a 51-per-cent interest. The agreement allows the company to advance its Clayton Valley project while working with and utilizing the geological expertise of the Pure Energy team.

On Sept. 8, 2016, Cypress announced an agreement to acquire a 100-per-cent interest in a second Clayton Valley lithium project. The 2,700-acre Dean lithium brine/clay project is located immediately adjacent to the Albemarle's Silver Peak mine on the west boundary, Pure Energy Minerals' project on its southwest boundary and Cypress's existing Clayton Valley project on its southern boundary.

Cypress has already initiated a surface sampling program on the new Dean project. Initial assay results for lithium from the abundant, green evaporite-rich volcanoclastic claystone exposure on the property are pending and will help direct the company on expanding its work program on this project in the near future.
