Halo Announces Completion of Duport Gold Transaction

Toronto, Ontario, September 23, 2009 -- Lynda Bloom, President and CEO of Halo Resources Ltd. (“Halo”, TSX.V:HLO; FSE:HRL) is pleased to announce that Everton Resources Inc. (“Everton”) has competed the acquisition of Hays Lake Gold Inc. (“HLG”), a private company, that holds on option granted by Halo on the Duport Gold Property (as described in the press release of July 14, 2009). Under the terms of the share purchase agreements with HLG shareholders, Halo will be issued 1,006,104 common shares of Everton.

Halo granted HLG an option to earn up to a 75% in the Duport Gold Property (as described in the press release of October 15, 2008). To fully earn its interest HLG must make various cash payments and fund up to $5,000,000 of exploration expenditures by October 31, 2012.

Everton has also acquired HLG’s various options to acquire a consolidated land package located adjacent to the Duport Gold Property that includes the Cedar Island gold zone located on the mainland. Everton’s president, Andre Audet, stated “HLG has, for the first time, assembled this large land package to make the overall project viable through the use of a common road network, power grid, and milling complex. The Shoal Lake gold project holds two significant high grade gold deposits with in-situ NI43-101 compliant indicated and inferred mineral resource estimates and 5 former gold producing mines. Everton intends to fast track the development of the Shoal Lake project.”

Everton Resources has over $5 million in cash and investments with properties in the Dominican Republic, Ontario and Quebec.
