NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 08/07/08 -- Hunt Gold Corporation (PINKSHEETS: HGLC) can confirm that the Private Equity Group intends to increase its bid price in order to obtain control of the Company.

The Private Fund has undertaken to advise us late today as to what price per share they intend to increase their offer from their current bid price of US$0.025 per share. This will be announced prior to the market open, in the morning.

The Private Equity Group now holds an amount of 93,150,103,500 shares of the Company's stock, amounting to 31.7% of the Company's Common Stock.
