Hy Lake Gold Inc. 65 Queen Street West, Suite 520, Toronto, ON, Canada, M5H 2M5 Tel: 416 203-9181 Fax: 416 203-4197 E-mail: office@hylake.com NEWS RELEASE SHARES: 15,429,781 CNQ:HYLK FRANKFURT: HYK HY LAKE GOLD PHASE 1 RESULTS CALL FOR AN AGGRESSIVE DRILLING EXPLORATION PROGRAM IN RED LAKE, ONTARIO FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, April 12, 2007 – Toronto, Ontario. Hy Lake Gold Inc. (CNQ: HYLK; FRANKFURT: HYK) (“Hy Lake” and “the Company”) is pleased to announce the results of the Phase 1 drill program consisting of 16 drill holes in Red Lake, Ontario including the five (5) holes that were previously announced on April 2, 2007. The former producing Jamie Frontier property is situated on the “Red Lake Mine Trend”, west of the Gold Eagle Mine and Goldcorp’s Red Lake and Campbell Mines. Highlights of drill program: • 37.7 g Au/t over 3.5 metres (1.1 oz Au/ton over 11.5 ft.) • 35.1 g Au/t over 1.5 metres (1.0 oz Au/ton over 4.9 ft.) • 35.0 g Au/t over 1.0 metres (1.0 oz Au/ton over 3.28 ft.) • 6.8 g Au/t over 1.75 metres (0.2 oz Au/ton over 5.7 ft.) Hy Lake Gold will launch an aggressive drilling program to drill for gold at greater depths following the success of the recently completed 16-hole drill program. The exploration drilling program will follow the pattern similar to the successful exploration programs on the “Red Lake Mine Trend” at Gold Eagles Mines Ltd. and the Goldcorp Inc. Red Lake Mine where deep drilling beneath existing gold zones generated significant gold exploration success. Hy Lake Gold’s Jamie Frontier property has historically been drilled to a depth of only 165 m compared to the mines on the trend which have been drilled to depths exceeding 1500 m. The following table summarizes the assay results of the recent 1,854 m, 16-hole drill program: Drill Hole Intersection (m) Width (m) Gold Assay Gold (as oz Au/ton) Check Assays HY-01-07 No significant values HY-02-07 54.0 – 55.0 1.0 1.50 g Au/t 0.044 oz Au/ton 55.0 – 55.7 0.7 2.70 g Au/t 0.079 oz Au/ton composite 54.0 – 55.7 1.7 1.92 g Au/t 0.058 oz Au/ton HY-03-07 41.0 – 41.5 0.5 0.96 g Au/t 0.028 oz Au/ton 41.5 – 42.0 0.5 103.9 g Au/t 3.029 oz Au/ton (3.723 oz Au/ton) 42.0 – 42.5 0.5 0.42 g Au/t 0.012 oz Au/ton (0.026 oz Au/ton*) composite 41.0 – 42.5 1.5 35.1 g Au/t 1.023 oz Au/ton HY-04-07 No significant values HY-05-07 34.5 – 35.0 0.5 32.5 g Au/t 0.949 oz Au/ton (0.588 oz Au/ton*) 35.0 – 35.5 0.5 9.15 g Au/t 0.267 oz Au/ton (9.54 g Au/t, 7.30 g Au/t) 35.5 – 36.0 0.5 0.67 g Au/t 0.020 oz Au/ton 36.0 – 36.5 0.5 215.3 g Au/t 6.279 oz Au/ton (9.873 oz Au/ton*) 36.5 – 37.0 0.5 0.26 g Au/t 0.007 oz Au/ton 37.0 – 38.0 1.0 2.90 g Au/t 0.085 oz Au/ton composite 34.5 – 38.0 3.5 37.7 g Au/t 1.099 oz Au/ton HY-06-07 144.5 – 145.5 1.0 0.27 g Au/t 0.008 oz Au/ton (0.008 oz Au/ton) 145.5 – 146.0 0.5 <0.01 g Au/t <0.001 oz Au/ton 146.0 – 147.0 1.0 0.45 g Au/t 0.013 oz Au/ton composite 144.5 – 147.0 2.5 0.29 g Au/t 0.008 oz Au/ton HY-07-07 83.35 - 83.55 0.2 2.15 g Au/t 0.063 oz Au/ton 96.4 - 96.6 0.2 2.33 g Au/t 0.068 oz Au/ton (0.06 oz Au/ton) HY-08-07 27.7 - 28.7 1.0 35.04 g Au/t 1.022 oz Au/ton (0.908 oz Au/ton) HY-09-07 No significant values HY-10-07 38.5 - 39.0 0.5 3.19 g Au/t 0.093 oz Au/ton (0.215 oz Au/ton) 39.0 - 39.5 0.5 0.36 g Au/t 0.010 oz Au/ton composite 38.5 - 39.5 1.0 1.78 g Au/t 0.052 oz Au/ton 68.80 - 69.00 0.20 0.17 g Au/t 0.005 oz Au/ton* 69.00 - 69.50 0.50 0.17 g Au/t 0.005 oz Au/ton* (1.93 g Au/t, 2.03 g Au/t) 69.50 - 69.70 0.20 2.02 g Au/t 0.059 oz Au/ton* 69.70 - 70.00 0.30 1.23 g Au/t 0.036 oz Au/ton* 70.00 - 70.25 0.25 5.45 g Au/t 0.159 oz Au/ton* 70.25 - 70.50 0.25 3.43 g Au/t 0.1 oz Au/ton* composite 68.80 - 70.50 1.70 1.83 g Au/t 0.053 oz Au/ton HY-11-07 145.50 - 146.00 0.50 0.52 g Au/t 0.015 oz Au/ton 146.00 - 146.75 0.75 0.03 g Au/t 0.001 oz Au/ton 146.75 - 147.25 0.50 0.4 g Au/t 0.012 oz Au/ton (0.009 oz Au/ton) 147.25 - 148.25 1.00 0.05 g Au/t 0.001 oz Au/ton 148.25 - 149.00 0.75 0.23 g Au/t 0.007 oz Au/ton composite 145.50 - 149.00 3.50 0.20 g Au/t 0.006 oz Au/ton HY-12-07 76.50 - 77.00 0.50 0.05 g Au/t 0.001 oz Au/ton (<0.001 oz Au/ton) 77.00 - 77.60 0.60 2.57 g Au/t 0.075 oz Au/ton* 77.60 - 78.15 0.55 3.12 g Au/t 0.091 oz Au/ton* composite 76.50 - 78.15 1.65 1.99 g Au/t 0.058 oz Au/ton HY-13-07 139.1 – 139.3 0.2 0.02 g Au/t 0.001 oz Au/ton (0.033 oz Au/ton) 139.3 – 140.0 0.7 0.87 g Au/t 0.025 oz Au/ton (<0.001 oz Au/ton) composite 139.1 – 140.0 0.9 0.68 g Au/t 0.020 oz Au/ton HY-14-07 46.75 - 47.05 0.30 38.30 g Au/t 1.117 oz Au/ton (1.252 oz Au/ton) 47.05 - 47.70 0.65 0.5 g Au/t 0.015 oz Au/ton 47.70 - 48.50 0.80 0.08 g Au/t 0.002 oz Au/ton composite 46.75 - 48.50 1.75 6.79 g Au/t 0.198 oz Au/ton 122.45 - 123.45 1.00 0.47 g Au/t 0.014 oz Au/ton (0.016 oz Au/ton) 123.45 - 124.00 0.55 1.27 g Au/t 0.037 oz Au/ton* composite 122.45 - 124.00 1.55 0.75 g Au/t 0.022 oz Au/ton HY-15-07 107.95 - 108.95 1.00 0.67 g Au/t 0.020 oz Au/ton 108.95 - 109.45 0.50 0.06 g Au/t 0.002 oz Au/ton 109.45 - 110.00 0.55 3.08 g Au/t 0.090 oz Au/ton 110.00 - 110.50 0.50 <0.01 g Au/t <0.001 oz Au/ton 110.50 - 111.50 1.00 0.03 g Au/t 0.001 oz Au/ton (<0.001 oz Au/ton) 111.50 - 112.50 1.00 <0.01 g Au/t <0.001 oz Au/ton 112.50 - 113.00 0.50 <0.01 g Au/t <0.001 oz Au/ton 113.00 - 113.65 0.65 0.02 g Au/t 0.001 oz Au/ton 113.65 - 114.10 0.45 0.75 g Au/t 0.022 oz Au/ton* 114.10 - 114.40 0.30 0.86 g Au/t 0.025 oz Au/ton* 114.40 - 114.70 0.30 0.27 g Au/t 0.008 oz Au/ton* 114.70 - 115.20 0.50 0.14 g Au/t 0.004 oz Au/ton* 115.20 - 116.00 0.80 0.06 g Au/t 0.002 oz Au/ton composite 107.95 - 116.00 8.05 0.40 g Au/t 0.012 oz Au/ton HY-16-07 No significant values * - Gold analysis by “metallics” method. None of the intersection widths of the recent drilling should be construed as necessarily representing a true width of the sampled material. All drill holes were logged and sampled in Hy Lake’s facilities in Red Lake, Ontario. Analyses were performed by SGS Mineral Services at their laboratory in Red Lake. Gold analyses were performed by fire assay with AA finish on 30 g sample splits; however, high grade (>17 g Au/t) samples were analyzed with a gravimetric finish. Check analyses for gold were performed on approximately 10% of the samples submitted and selected samples were analyzed or checked with a “metallics” or screen fire assay method. Additional check analyses, carried out by a secondary laboratory, are pending. Many of the diamond drill holes in the current program targeted areas of exploration potential to the south of the Main Zone and along its strike extensions, particularly to the east. Where holes did intersect the Main Zone (e.g., HY-03-07, HY-05-07, HY-08-07, HY-10-07 and HY-14-07), the results confirmed the narrow, high grade character of the known mineralization. Favourable geology and alteration (silicification) were encountered in many of the drill holes along with low, but encouraging, values in gold. Holes HY-01-07, HY-04-07, HY-09-07 and HY-16-07 did not return assay values over 0.17 g Au/t. HY-16-07 was abandoned at a depth of 38 m when it entered previous underground workings.

This report is available from the Hy Lake website and on SEDAR. Hy Lake can earn a 75% working interest in the Mount Jamie Property by spending a total of $1,000,000 on the property by January 19, 2010. The first and second years commitment to expenditures have been completed. The content of this release has been carried out under the supervision of Mr. John M.
