(TSX:HLO; FSE:HRL) is pleased to announce that additional drilling at the Lost Lake deposit, northern Manitoba has demonstrated continued high grade copper-zinc mineralization over a strike length of 800 m with persistent high grades. Drill holes 07-80, 82 and 84 returned significant intervals with up to 1.3% copper and 7.8% zinc over 6.3 m (see Figure 1). These holes follow up on the success in drill hole DH07-77, 200m to the south, which returned grades of 1.6% copper and 5.6% zinc over 3.6 m as previously reported (see press release February 28 2008). 'The emergence of this new, high grade, near surface horizon will likely accelerate our path to production' says Lynda Bloom, President & CEO. 'This horizon is parallel to and with-in 500m of the past-producing Sherridon mine and looks to be as equally prospective with similar if not better grades.' The second phase of drilling at Lost Lake included a total of 3,008 m in 15 holes with assays pending for holes not reported here. The Lost Lake Zone is 100%-owned by Halo Resources and is located within 4 km of four other known deposits, including the Cold Lake, Bob Lake, Jungle Lake and Park Lake deposits. Two diamond drill rigs are testing several new targets along the Bob Lake mineralized horizon as well as extensions of the Bob Lake and Jungle Lake deposits. Technical Highlights These holes show the continuity of the Lost Lake mineralization, which has an over-all strike length of approximately 800 m. With this new data we have traced the mineralization from surface to a minimum vertical depth of 150 m. This horizon appears to have a shallow plunge to the north beneath Lost Lake and may be related to the Cold Lake mineralized horizon and is open to the North and at depth. Results from drill holes DH07-80, 82 and DH07-84 at the Lost Lake deposit are reported in the assay table below. These holes where drilled 50m apart on a north-south oriented fence on section 49+00N.

To view figure 1 please go to www.halores.com About the Sherridon VMS Property The Sherridon VMS Property covers an area of over 20,876 hectares and hosts the past-producing Sherridon Mine that was operated by Sherritt Gordon Mines from 1933 to 1950 and produced 7.7 million tonnes of ore grading 2.46%copper and 0.8% zinc. Results from an airborne geophysical survey completed in the summer of 2006 identified an additional 122 targets. The property is located only 70 km northeast of the mining and metallurgical complex in Flin Flon operated by HudBay Minerals Inc. Future development of the property is facilitated by the presence of an all-weather road and railroad access as well as a power line and communications tower. About Halo Resources Ltd.
