Halo Reports High Grade Zones 40 m From Surface at Jungle Lake Copper-Zinc Deposit TORONTO, ONTARIO, Jul 19, 2007 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX News Network) -- Lynda Bloom, President and CEO of Halo Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:HLO)(OTCBB:HLOSF)(FRANKFURT:HRL) is pleased to announce completion of 3,242 m of drilling in 15 drill holes at the Jungle Lake copper-zinc deposit. Results for the last five drill holes reported below confirm the near surface presence of massive sulphides and improve the opportunity for open-pit mining of the deposit. HIGHLIGHTS - Halo intersects 7.7 m of 2.1% copper and 1.2% zinc within 60 m of surface at Jungle Lake in DH31 - Halo intersects 14.6 m of 0.8% copper and 1.2% zinc within 90 m of surface at Jungle Lake in DH30 "Drill holes 30 and 31, with massive sulphide intersections of 14.6 and 7.7 m respectively, are certainly shallow enough to enhance the surface mining potential of the Jungle Lake deposit," says Lynda Bloom, President & CEO. "The massive sulphide intersections in the additional three holes DH32 to 35 extend the southern limits of the resource boundary as defined by HBED and are within 50 m of surface." Halo Resources has retained the firm of Scott Wilson RPA for the purposes of compiling a NI 43-101 compliant resource for the Jungle Lake copper-zinc deposit. Assays are pending from drilling at the Park Lake deposit, the third of six known deposits on the Sherridon VMS property to be drilled by Halo in 2007. Technical Highlights Results from an additional five drill holes completed at the Jungle Lake deposit are reported in the assay table. Holes DH32, 33 and 34 were drilled over an east-west distance of 250 m towards the southern limit of the resource boundary determined by Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Company Limited (HBED). The mineralized lenses dip approximately 40 degrees northwest and are shallower, within 55 m from surface, at the southern edge of the known resource. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From Interval Cu Zn Ag Au Hole Dip/Azimuth (m) To (m) (m) (%) (%) (g/t) (g/t) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- DH30 -90 / 0 91.21 105.81 14.60 0.83 1.18 6.46 0.14 including 94.18 105.81 11.63 0.94 1.38 6.92 0.17 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- DH31 -90 / 0 58.63 66.29 7.66 2.09 1.20 10.38 0.45 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- DH32 -90 / 0 34.82 42.29 7.47 0.67 0.99 5.38 0.22 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- DH33 -90 / 0 39.52 43.18 3.66 1.38 1.01 7.50 0.53 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- DH34 -90 / 0 39.16 44.65 5.49 1.90 1.00 9.17 0.37 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Widths may be overstated by up to 10% due to orientation of the sulphide lenses. Locations of the 14 drill holes are shown on the accompanying map (to view this map please click on: http://www.ccnmatthews.com/docs/hlo0719map.jpg). 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. About the Jungle Lake Deposit The Jungle Lake deposit was discovered and drilled by 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. 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. 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. |
