Halo Has Commenced Drilling on Jungle Lake Copper-Zinc Deposit, Sherridon – Flin Flon Area, Manitoba

HALO RESOURCES LTD. – Lynda Bloom, President and CEO is pleased to announce that Halo Resources Ltd. has commenced drilling at the Jungle Lake copper-zinc deposit on its 200 square km Sherridon Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Property in the Sherridon – Flin Flon area of Manitoba. Drilling of the known deposits and mineral occurrences on the Sherridon VMS Property is part of the planned 20,000metre drill program designed to confirm results identified by earlier work and to explore for extensions to the known deposits. Halo plans to accelerate the resource assessment work on the property to bring it to NI 43-101 compliancy by the end of 2007. The preliminary program on the Jungle Lake copper-zinc deposit will consist of 1500 metres of drilling in 7 holes.

The Jungle Lake deposit was discovered and drilled by Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Company Limited (HBED) from 1958 to 1967. Historical resource estimates calculated by HBED on the Jungle Lake deposit are 3.4 million tonnes grading 1.42% copper and 1.1% zinc All resources stated in this press release are historical in nature. Although the resource estimations are believed to be reliable, they were calculated prior to the implementation of National Instrument 43-101. Halo and its Qualified Persons have not done sufficient work to reclassify the historical estimates as current mineral resources. Halo is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources and the historical estimates should not be relied upon. More recent estimates or data are not available to Halo.

Mineralization occurs in four en echelon lenses consisting predominantly of massive pyrrhotite and pyrite with lesser amounts of chalcopyrite and sphalerite in blebs and stringers. It has a known east-west strike length of 365 metres and an average thickness of 5.6metres. It dips at a shallow angle to the north and occurs from surface to a known depth of 400metres. No drilling has been conducted on the Jungle Lake deposit since 1967.

“We look forward to the same success at Jungle Lake that we had with the first phase of drilling at the Bob Lake deposit last month. The mineralized zone at Bob Lake was extended down dip and along strike and the Jungle Lake deposit offers the same opportunity to expand historical resources,” says Lynda Bloom, President & CEO.

Halo has the option to earn 100 percent interest in the Jungle Lake deposit from HBED through a series of cash and share payments and escalating work commitments as detailed in the option agreement.

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. The Jungle Lake deposit is believed to lie within the same stratigraphic horizon that hosts the Sherridon Mine and the Park copper-zinc deposit. This horizon can be traced for more than 20 km on the property. 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.

Sampling, assaying and quality control procedures are consistent with those reported in the Technical Background of the press release issued February 15, 2007. The above information has been prepared under the supervision of Kevin Leonard, who is designated as a “Qualified Person” with the ability and authority to verify the authenticity and validity of the data.
