Halo Resources Ltd. / Miscellaneous Release of a Corporate News, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG.

(TSX.V:HLO; FSE:HRL) is pleased to announce that geophysical targets are coincident with recently announced high grade gold and base metal zones from the West Middle Bay and Bridget Lake, as well as the May-Spiers Mine. The projects are located within a 3 km east-west trending deformation zone on claims optioned from Red Lake Gold Mines, a general partnership of Goldcorp Inc. (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) and Goldcorp Canada Ltd. (see news release dated July 6, 2006), in Red Lake, Ontario. The Bridget Lake North Showing, where sample results were up to 18.2 g/t gold, 2.3% cobalt and 6.2% nickel (see press release January 30, 2008), is associated with an east/west string of moderate to strong IP anomalies that define a 400 m-long IP zone. In particular, a 50 m-wide zone on line 144+00N is the strongest IP anomaly within the zone and has been interpreted as possibly two nearby chargeable bodies, one moderate and one strong. The Middle Bay Showing, where samples results were up to 172 g/t gold (see press release February 7 , 2008), is coincident with a moderate IP anomaly that is part of one or two prominent 700 m-long IP zones that are open to the west and may extend into Middle Bay and to the May Spiers deposit. These IP zones are in a magnetic low which possibly indicate alteration indicative of gold deposits. The target IP zone is up to 25 m wide and distinct from its stronger neighbour just to the north where sampling in 2006 returned values up to 22.7 g/t gold, 106 g/t silver and 0.9% copper (see press release December 18, 2006). The underground workings of the May-Spiers Mine, are associated with 1.3 km long east-west trending magnetic low feature and a 600 m-long weak-to-moderate IP chargeability anomaly with a width up to 100 m (see press release August 14, 2007). May-Spiers Gold Mines Ltd. sank a three compartment shaft to 375 feet in 1936 and developed mine workings at the lowest level over 150 feet. Intervals of 0.5 oz per ton gold over narrow widths less than 5 feet were reported in the 1930s from surface drilling and underground mine grades were in the order of 0.1 oz per ton. The mine workings were destroyed by fire in 1937 and no mining or exploration has taken place in 70 years. 'The IP anomalies, with strike lengths over 400 m and widths of 50 to 100 m, provide Halo with meaningful drill targets especially in areas where high grade results were reported from two seasons of field mapping. The geophysical targets enhance the significance of the surface sampling and provide an indication of the possible scale of the mineralization. We expect to drill test these three targets in the second quarter of 2008', reports Lynda Bloom, President & CEO. Technical Background In late 2007, JVX Ltd. completed 8,025 meters of IP/resistivity surveying in time domain with a pole dipole over 13 lines. The work was an extension of IP/resistivity and magnetic surveys done on the Middle Bay-May Spiers grid in March 2007 which covered 49 line km. IP anomalies that JVX Ltd. interpreted as discrete bodies of chargeable material are classed as weak, moderate or strong with only moderate and strong anomalies indicated on the accompanying map. The accompanying map shows the locations of all samples referred to in the three aforementioned press releases and are referenced to the IP anomalies selected by JVX Ltd. The western property boundary is approximately x kilometers from the area shown on the map.

About the West Red Lake Gold Property The Red Lake greenstone belt is host to the richest gold deposit in the world. The high-grade zone at the Red Lake Mine contains 4.6 million ounces at a grade of 2.35 oz/ton gold. The Red Lake Camp has produced over 25 million ounces and is currently being explored by a number of senior gold companies that include AngloGold, Teck Cominco, Barrick and Goldcorp. Halo’s West Red Lake Property is located approximately 30 km west of the prolific Campbell and Red Lake Mines in the Red Lake Camp. The property covers widespread gold mineralization from surface showings and also small gold deposits. Previous exploration by a number of companies including Hemlo Gold Mines Ltd., Goldcorp, Cochenour-Willans Gold Mines Ltd, Dumont Nickel and May-Spiers Gold Mines Ltd. has carried out in this area since 1935 and the property has now been consolidated into a larger package of contiguous claims. About Halo Resources Ltd. Halo is a Canadian-based resource company focused on the acquisition of near production base and precious base metal deposits. Currently the Company owns or has an interest in 3 projects: Duport, which is an advanced stage gold project; Red Lake, which is a gold exploration project, and the Sherridon project that is a combination of mature and grassroots volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) copper, zinc and gold exploration opportunities. The Company is operated by an experienced management team and backed by a strong network of mining financiers. The Company's growth strategy is to develop a diversified portfolio of advanced mining projects. ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD Lynda Bloom, President and CEO Halo Resources Ltd.
