Aug 29, 2007 04:30 ET Halo Reports 12 m Thick Mineralized Zone Grading 3.66% Zinc at Park Lake Copper-Zinc Deposit TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 29, 2007) - Lynda Bloom, President and CEO of Halo Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:HLO)(OTCBB:HLOSF)(FRANKFURT:HRL) is pleased to announce completion of 1,950 m of drilling in the first of four drill holes completed at the Park Lake copper-zinc deposit. HIGHLIGHTS - Drilling at Park Lake intersects up to 17.9 m grading 2.5% Zn and 12 m grading 3.7% zinc - Zinc-rich lens 12 to 28 m thick confirmed over 250 m downdip by four Halo and HBED holes "The impressive widths of the Park Lake mineralization have been confirmed by three holes that targeted a mineralized zone identified by HBED in the 1980s," says Lynda Bloom, President & CEO. "We plan additional drilling at Park Lake during the winter to further delineate the ore zones and advance this project to a 43-101 compliant resource calculation as soon as possible." Halo's recent drilling at Park Lake demonstrates the continuity of the thicker zinc-rich ore below approximately 300 m from surface. The majority of the intersections reported by HBED above 300 m average 10 m in thickness whereas deeper intersections have proven to be considerably thicker, such as 17.9 m in Halo drill hole DH38 and 28 m in HBED hole PAR65 with an average grade of 1.9% zinc and 0.75% copper. Park Lake is the third of six known deposits on the Sherridon VMS property to be drilled by Halo in 2007 and massive sulphide mineralization has been confirmed at all of Park Lake, Jungle Lake and Bob Lake deposits. Drilling continues at the Cold Lake deposit. Technical Highlights Results from drill holes completed at the Park Lake deposit are reported in the assay table. Holes DH36, 37 and 38 were drilled on section 5000E to intersect the Park Lake sulphide lens over a downdip distance of 180 m to test continuity of the mineralization in the vicinity of Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Company Limited (HBED) drill holes. Grades and thicknesses intersected by Halo are comparable or better than historical drill results. ------------------------------------------------------------ From To IntervalHole Dip/Azimuth (m) (m) (m) Cu(%) Zn(%)------------------------------------------------------------DH36 80 degrees/ 200 degrees 413.3 425.5 12.2 0.29 3.66------------------------------------------------------------DH37 62 degrees/ 200 degrees 360.5 367.5 7.1 0.13 2.85------------------------------------------------------------ and 372.8 377.0 4.3 0.33 4.32------------------------------------------------------------ and 389.8 392.9 3.0 1.83 1.67------------------------------------------------------------DH38 90 degrees 531 548.9 17.9 0.48 2.48------------------------------------------------------------- Widths may be overstated by up to 10% in vertical holes due to orientation of the sulphide lenses. DH35 was drilled approximately 75 m outside the HBED resource envelope and did not intersect mineralization. Sample results for DH37 between 392.9 m and the end of the hole at 425 m have not been received and the full extent of the copper mineralization (1.83% copper over 3.0 m) is not known at this time. 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 Eckart Buhlman, who is designated as a "Qualified Person" with the ability and authority to verify the authenticity and validity of the data. About the Park Lake Deposit The Park Lake deposit was discovered in 1959 by Hudson Bay Exploration & Development Co. Ltd. (HBED). Historical resource estimates calculated by HBED on the Park Lake deposit are 6.14 million tonnes grading 0.42% copper and 2.16% 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 lenses and is composed of both solid and disseminated sulphide zones with medium- to coarse-grained crystalline pyrite and interstitial blebs of pyrrhotite, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite. It has a known west-northwest strike length of 365 m and an average thickness of 6 m. It dips to the north at 45 degrees and is open at depth. It has been drilled to a maximum vertical depth of 670 m. Halo has the option to earn 100 percent interest in the Park 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. About Halo Resources Ltd.
