Habanero Acquires Additional Property Contiguous to Haldane Silver Project in the Yukon

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 20, 2010) - Habanero Resources Inc. ("Habanero") (TSX VENTURE:HAO)(PINK SHEETS:HBNRF)(FRANKFURT:HRJ) wishes to announce that it has entered into an option agreement to acquire 100% of 44 contiguous quartz claims from the estate of Mr. John Peter Ross ("the Ross Claims"). This new property is strategically located, bordering the existing Haldane Silver Prospect held by Habanero. This acquisition would bring the total size of the Haldane Silver Prospect to approximately 7,150 contiguous acres.

Jason Gigliotti, President of Habanero Resources stated, "We have been trying to secure this piece of property for some time now. This portion completes the land package we wanted to attain before drilling commences. This new property was held by a local prospector for many years and considering the main portion of the Haldane Prospect was acquired from well respected geologists from Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd., we are optimistic about what this new piece will add to the existing claims. We anticipate to be drilling the highest priority targets on the Haldane Silver Prospect within the next 1-2 months. Habanero has not had a drill program for nearly three years and management is looking forward to starting this drill program as soon as possible. This project is located in one of the most prolific silver producing regions in Canada, and silver prices are currently near historic highs, management looks forward the coming weeks."

The Haldane Property is a structurally controlled, silver vein prospect located within the Keno Hill silver district in the central Yukon. Between 1921 and 1988, the Keno Hill silver district produced more than 217 million ounces of silver with average grades of 40.5 ounces per ton silver, 5.6 per cent lead and 3.1 per cent zinc (Yukon government's Minfile database). The historical production grades would rank Keno Hill in the top 3 per cent by grade of today's global silver producers. The Keno Hill district is the second-largest historical silver producer in Canada. The Haldane property is well situated about 25 kilometres west of the main Keno Hill deposits. Mineralization is controlled by northerly trending structures, and consists of galena, sphalerite and tetrahedrite-tennantite in quart-siderite gangue. The best mineralization found to date occurs where the mineralized structures cut the Keno Hill quartzite unit, below the Robert Service Thrust. This is almost identical to the setting for mineralization at the main Keno Hill deposits. Any historical data presented here is not necessarily representative of this prospect itself. The company plans to file a 43-101 report once completed.

This option is subject to regulatory approval.
