HALO HAS COMMENCED DRILLING AT PARK LAKE DEPOSIT, SHERRIDON, MANITOBA
TORONTO, ONTARIO, JULY 26, 2007 - LYNDA BLOOM, PRESIDENT AND CEO OF HALO
RESOURCES LTD. (TSX:HLO; OTC.BB:HLOSF; FSE:HRL) is pleased to announce that Halo
Resources Ltd. initiated drilling at the Park Lake copper-zinc deposit on its
200 square km Sherridon 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 30,000 metre drill program
designed to confirm results identified by earlier work and to explore for
extensions to the known deposits. The preliminary program on the Park Lake
copper-zinc deposit will consist of 1,500 metres of drilling in four holes.
"Both the Park Lake and Jungle Lake deposits are just 4 km from the Bob Lake
deposit. Park Lake is the third of these deposits that we have drilled and the
close proximity of these deposits further improves the economics of a potential
mining scenario at Sherridon", said Lynda Bloom, President & CEO.
The Park Lake deposit was discovered in 1959 by Hudson Bay Exploration &
Development Co. Ltd. (HBED). Historical resource estimate calculated by HBED on
the Park Lake deposit is 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 is described as four lenses of massive and disseminated sulphides
with medium- to coarse-grained pyrite and interstitial pyrrhotite, sphalerite,
and chalcopyrite. The Park Lake deposit has a known west-northwest strike length
of 365 metres and an average thickness of 6 metres. It dips to the north at 45
degrees and is open below 670 metres, the maximum depth of historical drilling.
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.
