Jason Gigliotti, President of Habanero stated, "Although Habanero is focused on the upcoming Yukon silver drill program on the Haldane Silver Prospect, this opportunity allows Habanero to strengthen its Oilsands assets. Management feels that the Alberta Oilsands hold tremendous future potential and if the price of oil increases, these assets could hold significantly more value. The leases are fifteen year leases with approximately eleven years left. This acquisition of these additional Oilsands assets coincides with the upcoming planned silver drill program as well as two corporate presentations that I will be hosting in Toronto and New York next week for individual and institutional investors. Habanero will also be presenting at the 2010 World Resources Investment Conference in Vancouver June 6 and 7."

Habanero is a diversified junior company with the following prospects: acreage in the Alberta Oilsands; land in the Yukon, bordering Underworld; the Haldane Silver Prospect in the Yukon; a sizable land holder within the land prospective for lithium in Alberta; two prospects in the Stewart Mining Region of BC, one bordering Canasia Industries Corporation's Clone Prospect and the other in the vicinity of the discovery made by Decade Resources Ltd.; land in the Barkerville Gold Camp of BC bordering Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd., and property in the Red Chris Mining Region of BC near Imperial Metals Corp.
