Lynda Bloom, President and CEO of Halo Resources Ltd. is pleased to announce

the discovery of a new massive sulphide zone approximately 100 metres northeast of the Bob Lake deposit.

In response to exceptional land consolidation and drilling activity taking place within the Beardmore-Geraldton Gold Camp, as well as, significant interest from potential suitors, is pleased to provide the following update with respect to it’s 100% owned Brookbank property

BROOKBANK GOLD DEPOSIT – GENERAL

Despite the fact that numerous junior resource companies have significantly increased the staking and acquisition of land around the Company’s Brookbank property, the Brookbank Gold Deposit remains one of the largest properties in the vicinity, with 688 claims covering a strike length of 35 kilometers and spanning 5 townships.

Mineralization extends over a strike length of about 800 meters and has been drill tested to a depth of about 600 meters..

BROOKBANK GOLD DEPOSIT – LARGEST NI 43-101 RESOURCE IN BEARDMORE-GERALDTON GOLD BELT

As a result, several junior resource companies have recently staked claims contiguous to Brookbank to the North, South and West, including but not limited to Kodiak Exploration (KXL: TSX-V) and Alto Ventures (ATV: TSX-V).

DRILLING PROGRAM TO ENHANCE OPEN PIT POTENTIAL

Following the successful outcome of the summer 2007 diamond drill program, in which all 6 holes intersected gold mineralization, the Company is in the process of planning an additional drill program designed to further enhance the open pit potential on Brookbank. Management plans to increase the current resource estimate with continued drilling that will explore the similar alteration halo in the Cherbourg property along strike to the immediate west.

JOINT VENTURE SUITORS

As previously announced, several junior and major mining companies have shown meaningful interest in a possible joint venture on the Brookbank Gold Deposit. At this time the Company is reviewing several proposals and is engaged in ongoing discussions.
