Hi everyone, Halo Intersects 6.9% Copper at Cold Lake Copper-Zinc Deposit 10/4/2007 TORONTO, ONTARIO, Oct 4, 2007 (Marketwire via COMTEX News Network) -- Lynda Bloom, President and CEO of Halo Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:HLO)(OTCBB:HLOSF)(FRANKFURT:HRL) is pleased to announce significant copper and zinc grades at the Cold Lake deposit, northern Manitoba. The massive sulphides intersected at Cold Lake have the highest average grades and best widths reported to date for the 12,000 m drilling program that commenced in November 2006 on the 200 square kilometer Sherridon VMS Property. Highlights - Halo intersects 7.8 m of 2.1% copper and 6.2% zinc within 125 m of surface at Cold Lake - Assays up to 14.8% copper and zinc combined - 11% zinc and 11 g/t gold reported at shallow depth "The exceptional copper-zinc grades and widths of the massive sulphide mineralization, all within 125 m of surface, are very encouraging and represent a significant break through in our exploration efforts", says Lynda Bloom, President & CEO. "Our success at Cold Lake demonstrates the potential of the district and the importance of both improved exploration methods as well as persistence." Assays are pending for an additional seven diamond drill holes completed at Cold Lake. Drilling has continued at Bob Lake to test new geological targets based on Halo's November 2006-February 2007 drill program. A second drill rig is expected to be turning by the first week of November. Technical Highlights A summary of the results from nine drill holes completed at Cold Lake is reported in the following table. Assays of 6.9% copper and 7.9% zinc were reported at 36.1 m in DH07-39 and in DH07-47, 3.19% copper and 11.1% zinc was encountered at 123.4 m. The rocks at Cold Lake are also gold-enriched with high grade intervals of 11 g/t over 2m (DH07-39 at 22m) and 2.6 g/t over 2 m (DH07-43 at 117.7 m). From To Interval(i) Copper Zinc Hole Dip/Azimuth (m) (m) (m) (%) (%) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DH07-39 222/70 36.1 41.4 5.3 0.7 1.4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DH07-40 222/45 27.1 32.1 5.0 0.4 0.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DH07-41 222/65 67.5 69.5 2.0 0.3 1.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DH07-42 222/74 155.2 161.5 6.3 0.7 1.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DH07-43 222/80 104.3 120.3 16.0 1.6 3.4 including 112.2 116.7 4.5 2.1 7.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DH07-44 222/65 44.6 65.6 21.0 1.3 1.7 including 59.6 65.6 5.0 1.7 3.8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DH07-45 222/60 39.8 43.8 4.0 0.9 0.6 222/60 57.0 63.0 6.0 0.6 0.6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DH07-46 222/60 27.7 31.7 4.0 0.6 1.1 ------ 222/60 44.8 51.6 6.8 0.6 1.7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DH07-47 222/74 122.9 130.7 7.8 2.1 6.2 including 123.4 125.8 2.4 2.3 10.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (i) Widths may be overstated by up to 35% due to orientation of the sulphide lenses. Holes DH07-43 to 47 are spaced approximately 30 m apart over a strike length of 175 m and demonstrate strong continuity of the sulphide lens. Drill holes DH07-39 to DH07-41 tested the mineralized horizon 125 m to the south where the horizon is not as wide. Drill hole DH07-42 is located 70 m south of the zone defined by DH07-43 to 47 and intersected 40 m of disseminated sulphides between 119 to 159 m down hole. Sampling, assaying and quality control procedures are consistent with those reported in the Technical Background of the press release issued February 15, 2007.

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.
