Company Confirms That the Bid Price Has Now Been Increased

NEW YORK, NY–(EMWNews – August 8, 2008) – Hunt Gold Corporation (PINKSHEETS: HGLC) can

confirm that the Private Equity Group has increased its bid price from

US$0.025 per share to that US$0.03 per share, in order to obtain control of

the Company.

The Private Equity Group now holds an amount of 93,150,103,500 shares of

your Company’s stock, amounting to 31.7% of your Company’s Common Stock.

Based upon the non acceptance of the current bid price by a number of

substantial stockholders, The Board of Directors remains of the opinion

that the Private Equity Group will still have to substantially raise their

offer price, should they wish to assume control of your Company.

The Private Equity Group has confirmed that they are seeking to acquire all

of the outstanding shares of this Company’s Common Stock, and to then merge

it with another Gold Company already under their control.

The Board of Directors cannot and will not recommend this bid to its

stockholders and requests that stockholders wait until this Company is in a

position to provide its stockholders with an accurate valuation of the

Company’s assets based upon the current and anticipated positive outlook of

the Gold price.
