“Positioned Today for the Resources of Tomorrow”

Houston Lake Mining Inc. (TSX-V:HLM) is an advanced mining exploration company actively exploring for gold, platinum group metals and rare metals with a strategic focus on northwestern Ontario. The company’s objective is to become a gold producer in the short term.

Houston Lake’s management team has over 100 years of collective mining experience, from project inception to exploration to mine development, both open pit and underground. This includes production experience in gold, base metals and uranium. Since start-up in 1995, the company has acquired 12 properties that comprise three significant projects. Houston Lake identified these properties well in advance of the current commodity cycle. The company benefits from the excellent geology, positive legislation and advantageous tax climate in the mining-friendly province of Ontario where management has extensive experience.

Houston Lake’s three projects are as follows:

• West Cedartree is a gold project located near Kenora, Ontario. It comprises eight contiguous properties totaling 1,674 hectares, covering a six kilometre strike length of the key geology. The project hosts a number of gold zones of which three are significant: Angel Hill, Dogpaw Lake No. 1 Vein and Dubenski Shaft.

• Tib Lake is a platinum group project located near Thunder Bay, Ontario. It consists of a single property spanning 2,464 hectares. It is located only 15 km away from a North American Palladium mine and concentrator. Houston Lake is currently seeking a joint venture partner to carry the project forward.

• Pakeagama Lake is a rare-metals project located near Red Lake, Ontario. The project encompasses three contiguous properties which cover 2304 hectares. Key rare metal concentration ratios approach that of the Tanco Mine, perhaps the richest rare-metals mine in the world. The rare metals being sought include tantalum, cesium, rubidium and lithium. Houston Lake is currently seeking a joint venture partner to carry the project forward.

Bulk Sample Yields Gold Revenue

In the spring of 2006, Houston Lake realized its first gold production revenues of $131,840 through the third party processing of a 1,042-tonne bulk sample from its West Cedartree gold project. The bulk sample was a first step in the economic evaluation of the inferred resource, contained within the Angel Hill Gold Zone, one of multiple gold zones identified thus far at the project.
