Corporate Update: Blue Sky Uranium Corp. has been very active since its inception in 2006 and throughout 2007. During this time the Company has continued to build its asset base, both in term of projects and people and is well positioned for continued growth. While the stock markets overall, and uranium stocks in particular, have seen a significant downward correction over the summer months we strongly believe that the current trading price in Blue Sky's common shares does not reflect the growing value of the Company.
