Humboldt Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid

Humboldt Capital Corporation (TSX VENTURE:HMB) 

Humboldt Capital Corporation announced today that it has received approval from
the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid
(the "Bid") to purchase for cancellation, from time to time, as it considers
advisable, up to 598,000 of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (being
approximately 5% of the Common Shares outstanding at August 28, 2011). Purchases
will be made on the open market through the facilities of the Exchange. CIBC
Wood Gundy will conduct the Bid on behalf of Humboldt. The price which Humboldt
will pay for any shares purchased by it will be the prevailing market price of
such shares on the Exchange at the time of such purchase.


Pursuant to Normal Course Issuer Bids, during the previous 12 months, Humboldt
purchased 131,800 Common Shares at an average price of $2.34 per share.


The Bid will commence on Setepmber 2, 2011 and will terminate on September 1,
2012, or such earlier time as the applicable Bid is completed or at the option
of Humboldt.


The Board of Directors of Humboldt believe that the current and recent market
prices of Humboldt's shares do not give full effect to their underlying value
and that, accordingly, the purchase of shares will increase the proportionate
share interest of, and be advantageous to, all remaining shareholders. The
normal course purchases will also afford an increased degree of liquidity to
Humboldt shareholders who would like to dispose of their shares.

Where amounts are expressed on a barrel of oil equivalent (boe) basis, natural
gas volumes have been converted to barrels of oil at six thousand cubic feet
(mcf) per barrel (bbl). Boe figures may be misleading, particularly if used in
isolation. A boe conversion of six thousand cubic feet per barrel is based on an
energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and
does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. References to oil in
this discussion include crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs).
