Halo Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:HLO)(FRANKFURT:HRLN) ("Halo") and QRS Capital
Corp. (TSX VENTURE:QRS) ("QRS") wish to provide an update on the business
combination announced in the joint Halo/QRS press release dated March 8, 2013.
Halo and QRS have now finalized and entered into a definitive arrangement
agreement dated May 15, 2013 (the "Arrangement Agreement"). Under the terms of
the Arrangement Agreement, QRS will acquire all of the outstanding Halo shares
in exchange for QRS units. Each QRS unit will consist of one QRS common share
and one QRS share purchase warrant. Each QRS warrant will entitle the holder to
purchase one QRS common share for a period of one year from the effective date
of the arrangement at a price of $0.40 per share (post-consolidation). If QRS
completes an equity financing (not including the $750,000 private placement
referred to below) with more favorable warrant terms, the terms of the QRS
warrants will, subject to TSX-V approval, be adjusted to reflect those more
favorable terms. Immediately prior to the effective date, subject to TSX-V and
QRS shareholder approval, QRS will consolidate its common shares into 20 million
shares. QRS will then issue 20 million QRS units to the Halo shareholders in
exchange for their Halo shares. Upon completion of the arrangement, QRS
shareholders and Halo shareholders will each own approximately 50% of the voting
securities of the resulting company before the cancellation of any QRS shares
held by Halo at the effective date. Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement and
subject to TSX-V and QRS shareholder approval, QRS will change its name to
"Sendero Mining Corp." or such other name as may be acceptable to QRS and Halo.


On April 11, 2013, QRS announced a $750,000 private placement of up to 7,500,000
units at a price of $0.10 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and
one half of one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the
holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.20 per share for a period
of 60 months from closing. QRS expects to complete this financing shortly. Under
the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Halo has agreed to subscribe for
$250,000 of this financing. In addition, Halo has agreed to lend up to $250,000
to QRS prior to completion of the arrangement. To date, Halo has advanced
$182,000 to QRS under the loan agreement.


It is expected that an application for an interim order regarding the Halo
securityholder meeting will be heard by the British Columbia Supreme Court on
May 21, 2013. The meeting of Halo securityholders to approve the arrangement has
been set for June 21, 2013 and the meeting of QRS shareholders to approve the
consolidation and the name change has been set for June 24, 2013. Halo and QRS
expect to complete the arrangement before June 30, 2013.
