HLM Commences Resource Estimate for the PAK Rare Metals Project in Ontario, Canada

Houston Lake Mining Inc. (TSX.V: HLM), is pleased to report that as a result of the drilling program on the PAK Rare Metals Project in 2013, the Company has commenced a National Instrument (“NI”) 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource estimate with GENIVAR (TSX: GNV), a Montreal-based firm. GENIVAR is one of the largest engineering firms in Canada and has a mining division maintaining independent consulting geologists and engineers.

“We are pleased to be in a position to advance the PAK Rare Metals Project to this next stage with a reputable firm such as GENIVAR. We anticipate that the initial Mineral Resource Estimate should be completed by the end of November 2013. Further to an estimate of lithium, tantalum, rubidium and possibly cesium contained therein, this will serve as a base from which HLM can potentially expand the high grade resource to the northwest and southeast of the pegmatite deposit beyond the current limit of drilling,” commented Trevor R. Walker, President of HLM.

About the PAK Rare Metals Project
The PAK Rare Metals Project lies between two geological sub-provinces in northwestern Ontario. The deposit is a LCT (lithium, cesium, tantalum) classified pegmatite. These type of deposits have been the principal source of hard rock lithium, tantalum, rubidium and cesium ores mined in the world.

6 diamond drill holes totalling 1,000 metres, were drilled by HLM on the Pakeagama pegmatite in 2013. Resulting from drilling, the Pakeagama pegmatite maintains a 250 metre strike length, an width varying from 45 to 125 metres with an assumed sub-vertical orientation of the pegmatite body. Highlights from diamond drilling include high grade lithium and tantalum up to 4.22% Li₂O over 18 metres and 236 ppm Ta₂O₅ over 19 metres in two distinct pegmatite zones.

About Houston Lake Mining Inc.
HLM’s goal is to become a fully integrated lithium and tantalum producer by targeting the growth as a result of the shift towards electric/hybrid vehicles and high quality consumer electronics through the development of the PAK Rare Metals Project in Ontario, Canada. HLM’s Board of Directors and Management combined have over 255 years of exploration and mining experience in order to facilitate the Company’s goal of becoming a raw material supplier of the elements required for the pursuit of sustainable energy, and other applications in high-tech electronics and metal alloys.
