Houston Lake Completes Delineation Drill Program

 on the West Cedartree Gold Project

March 29, 2007: Sudbury, Ontario, Canada - Houston Lake Mining Inc. (TSX.V: HLM, the "Company") is pleased to announce that a 17 hole, 2561m (8400ft) delineation drilling  program has just been completed on the Company’s 100% owned and optioned 1310 hectare (3236 acre) West Cedartree Gold Project located near Sioux Narrows, Ontario. A second shipment of fifty-three core samples from drill holes 6-10 was sent yesterday to TSL Laboratories of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan for fire assay. Results are expected back in two to three weeks time and will be announced as soon as received.

A 2561m (8400ft) delineation drilling program commenced on February 15, 2007 and targeted the historic gold resource of the Dogpaw No. 1 Vein. Where previous drilling had intercepted core lengths of up to 36.44g/mt Au over 8.00m (1.063 oz/st over 26.24ft). The highly altered rock of the vein system was successfully intersected to a depth of approximately 200m (656ft) and remains open to depth and along strike.

Approximately 20 line-km of the IP geophysical survey has been completed thus far. The survey targets sulfide-bearing rocks associated with the gold mineralization on the Dogpaw Option. The survey is expected to be finished shortly.

A final draft of the mining permit application for the Angel Hill Gold Zone is being prepared and the application will be reviewed by Wardrop Engineering Inc. prior to submission. The permit will enable Houston Lake to take advantage of any profitable third party milling opportunities and complete a recommended 10,000 tonne bulk sample.

Independent Consulting Geologist Dean R. Cutting, P. Geo., is the Qualified Person for the project under the guidelines of NI 43-101 and has reviewed this press release in its entirety.
