HALO ANNOUNCES $1.35 MILLION FINANCING
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, August 29, 2006 -- Marc Cernovitch, President & CEO
of Halo Resources Ltd. (TSX.V:HLO; OTC.BB:HLOSF; FSE:HRL) is pleased to announce
that it has entered into a financing agreement with Canaccord Adams (the
"Agent") for the private placement, on a commercially reasonable efforts basis,
of up to $1,350,000 flow through units at a price of $0.45 per flow through
unit. Each flow through unit will consist of one common share and one-half share
purchase warrant. Each full share purchase warrant entitles the holder to
acquire one common share of the Company for a period of eighteen months at a
price of $0.60 per share. The share purchase warrants will be transferable but
not listed for trading.
As consideration for acting as Agent, the Company has agreed pay a commission of
7.5 percent of the total proceeds on closing in cash, and issue Agent's Warrants
exercisable for common shares of the Company representing 10 percent of the
total Offering sold, at an exercise price of $0.45 per common share for a period
of eighteen months.
The net proceeds of the placement will be used for the exploration and
development of the Duport, Sherridon and RedLake properties.
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 4 projects: Duport, which is an advanced stage gold project;
Red Lake Project, which is a gold exploration project, Quarter Moon which is a
grass roots gold project, and the Sherridon project, which is a grass roots VMS
project. 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.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an
offer to sell any of the securities in the United States. The securities have
not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and

registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or

- ----------------------------------
Marc Cernovitch, President and CEO
The TSX Venture Exchange has not reviewed and does not accept responsibility for
the adequacy or accuracy of this release. Except for the historical statements
contained herein, this news release presents "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 and similar Canadian legislation that involve inherent risks and
uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements with respect to the future price of gold and other minerals and
metals, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the realization of
mineral reserve estimates, the capital expenditures, costs and timing of the
development of new deposits, success of exploration activities, permitting time
lines, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of mining
operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title
disputes or claims and limitations on insurance coverage. Generally, these
forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected",
"budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or
"does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or
state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might"
or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved". Forward-looking statements are
subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may
cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of Halo
to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: risks related to the
integration of acquisitions; risks related to joint venture operations; actual
results of current exploration activities; actual results of current or future
reclamation activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project
parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of gold and other
minerals and metals; possible variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery
rates; failure of equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents,
labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; and delays in obtaining
governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or
construction activities. Although the management and officers of Halo Resources
Ltd. believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements
are based upon reasonable assumptions and have attempted to identify important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause
results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no
assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and
future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.
Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. Halo does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements
that are incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with applicable
securities laws. Trading in the securities of Halo Resources Ltd. should be
considered highly speculative.
