$234,483 Shares for Debt Financing Proposed

Sudbury, Ontario CANADA, September 26, 2011 /FSC/ - Houston Lake Mining Inc. (HLM - TSX Venture, HLKMF - OTCBB_Pink_Sheets), is pleased to report that the Company has received a positive response from a major creditor for a Shares for Debt Financing.  Houston Lake proposes to issue up to 3,908,046 common shares at price of $0.06.  The financing is subject to regulatory approval and would have a hold period of four months.  

The price of $0.06 represents a 20% discount to the day's closing price of $0.075.  A maximum discount of 25% is allowable under the regulation. The $234,483 debt is owed to a company owned by one non-arms length individual. The non-arms length portion of the proposed financing would therefore be a maximum of 3,908,046 common shares.  

Management believes that the proposed Shares for Debt financing would strengthen the balance sheet and increase the attractiveness of the Company for future financings.
