Company Updates Its Stockholders on Hostile Bid for the Company

NEW YORK, NY–(EMWNews – August 7, 2008) – Hunt Gold Corporation (PINKSHEETS: HGLC)

confirmed on August 1, 2008 that it had received an offer for the Company

which was valued at a price per share of US$0.025. There were a number of

conditions attached to this offer and the Board of Directors required more

time before advising stockholders as to whether or not they could recommend

this bid to stockholders.

We have been served with notice that this Private Equity Group has acquired

an additional amount of 20,700,023,000 shares of the Company’s shares of

restricted Common Stock. They now hold an amount of 93,150,103,500 shares

of the Company’s stock; amounting to 31.7% of the Company’s Common Stock.

The Board of Directors has been contacted by stockholders who represent

substantial blocks of the company’s outstanding stock who have indicated

that they wish to remain as long term stockholders in this Company and have

no desire to sell their stockholdings at US$0.025 per share to the Private

Equity Group. Based upon these facts, the Board urges stockholders to

exercise caution in their dealings until such time as we are able to

provide them with an accurate valuation of this Company’s assets. The Board

of Directors believes that this Private Equity Group will have to

substantially raise their offer price should they wish to assume control of

the Company.

We were served notice and were provided with proof on August 1, 2008 that

this Private Equity Group had already acquired a block of stock in the

Company, amounting to 72,450,080,500 shares of the Company’s shares of

restricted Common Stock. They paid an amount of US$0.025 per share to

acquire these shares. That gave them a 24.6% interest in the Company as at

August 1, 2008.

Furthermore, this Private Equity Group has come to an agreement with

Fortress Financial Group, Inc., who has undertaken not to dispose of any

its “free trading” shares in the Company, and to co-operate with the

Private Equity Group in their takeover bid for this Company. Fortress

Financial Group, Inc. served notice to this effect upon the Company on

August 1, 2008.

It seems extremely likely that this Private Equity Group wishes to acquire

100% of the Company, and to then merge it with another Gold Company already

under their control. This is extremely unlikely to happen unless the offer

price per share is raised by the Private Equity Group or any other bidder,

and very substantially.
