VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 3, 2009) - Habanero Resources Inc. ("Habanero") (TSX VENTURE:HAO)(PINK SHEETS:HBNRF)(FRANKFURT:HRJ) wishes to announce that it has entered into an option agreement with Misty Creek Ventures Ltd. ("Misty Creek") to acquire 100% of the Haldane Silver Prospect located in Yukon Canada. The Haldane Silver Property consists of 99 contiguous quartz mineral claims comprising approximately 1,950 ha. (4,818 ac.)

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. Habanero plans to file a 43-101 report once completed.

Jason Gigliotti, President of Habanero stated, "This project offers Habanero an opportunity to enter into one of the most prolific silver producing regions in Canada. Silver prices are currently near historic highs and management is optimistic regarding what this prospect may mean for Habanero in the future."

In order to exercise the option, Habanero shall make the cash payments to Misty Creek, issue common shares to Misty Creek and complete the required exploration expenditures:

Cash Payments:

$10,000 on the Closing Date

$250,000 on the 4th Anniversary of the Closing Date ("Closing Date" means the date of final acceptance from the Exchange with respect to the Transaction);
