WYN DEVELOPMENTS INC. UPDATES ON NATURAL GAS PROJECTS

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada - August 23, 2006 - Wyn Developments Inc. ("Wyn Developments" or the "Company") Prophet River Slave Point exploratory well, winter development plans for the Bougie Trutch natural gas development project, and negotiations to acquire an interest in a new prospective natural gas land package.

THE PROPHET RIVER NATURAL GAS EXPLORATION PROJECT

Further to the June 23rd, 2006 news release, the Company announces that the Prophet River Slave Point exploratory well is progressing as anticipated, both on time and on budget. This well is expected to reach total depth in early September, at which time the Company will decide whether testing and completion of the well is warranted. This testing and completion would take approximately 20 days and provide a commercial evaluation of the well's potential.

THE BOUGIE TRUTCH NATURAL GAS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

As previously reported, the two "Halfway" wells drilled in December 2005 and January 2006 at Bougie Trutch were successful, as the Operator tested and set production casing on both wells. The BC Oil and Gas Commission also confirmed that the c-36-A well proved the existence of a new gas pool. In the upcoming 2006/2007 winter season, the Company will be building upon this success by drilling two additional "Halfway" formation delineation wells near the original C-36-A well. If successful, these three wells should be tied-in for production by March 2007.

THE TRUTCH EAST NEGOTIATIONS

The Company is also currently in negotiations to acquire an interest in a rolling option for up to 15 square miles of prospective natural gas leases adjoining the South and Southeast portions of the Company's Bougie Trutch development project. 2D and 3D seismic has been completed on the property and further details will be provided upon successful completion of the negotiations.
