HoneyBadger Exploration Finalizes Agreement with Entrée Gold
on Nevada Copper Property

Toronto, ON, August 26, 2009 - HoneyBadger Exploration Inc. (TSX.V:TUF HoneyBadger or the Company) announces that the joint-venture option agreement with Entr�e Gold Inc. (TSX:ETG; NYSE Amex:EGI; Frankfurt:EKA Entrée) previously announced on July 23, 2009, has been finalized.

HoneyBadger and Entr�e intend to explore for and develop porphyry copper targets in the Yerington porphyry copper district of western Nevada. HoneyBadger has assembled a substantial land package covering over 12,500 acres (5,080 hectares), known as the Yerington West Project.

Under the terms of the agreement, Entrée may acquire up to an 80% interest in a portion of HoneyBadger’s Yerington West Project, known as the Blackjack Property.

Aggressive Drill Program Planned for Q4 2009

This partnership arrangement with Entrée is part of HoneyBadger’s strategy to explore for large porphyry copper deposits, using the knowledge and experience of a well-established porphyry copper expert.

Entrée and HoneyBadger are planning an aggressive drill program commencing in the fourth quarter 2009. This program is expected to test numerous targets generated from a recently completed high-definition airborne Geotech AirMt magnetotelluric survey along with geological and geochemical targets.

Prolific Mining Area

Considerable exploration and mining has been done in the Yerington region since the early part of the twentieth century. Between 1953 and 1978, Anaconda produced almost 2 billion pounds of copper from a single open pit. The area was generally inactive in the 1980s and 1990s, but has seen renewed interest in the past few years. Our agreement with HoneyBadger gives Entrée shareholders a foothold into this highly prospective area.
