SOH Soho Resources Corp.

Soho Resources Corp.  (TSX VENTURE:SOH) ("Soho" or the "Company") announces that
its Board of Directors has approved the adoption of a shareholder rights plan
(the "Rights Plan"). 


The Rights Plan is designed to ensure the fair and equal treatment of
shareholders in connection with any take-over bid for outstanding common shares
of Soho. The Rights Plan seeks to provide shareholders with adequate time to
properly assess a take-over bid without undue pressure. It also provides the
Board with adequate time to fully assess an unsolicited take-over bid, to allow
competing bids to emerge, and, if applicable, to explore other alternatives to
the take-over bid to maximize shareholder value.


The Rights Plan is not intended to prevent or deter take-over bids that offer
fair treatment and value to shareholders, but is designed to encourage offers
that represent fair value to all shareholders. 


The Rights Plan is similar to rights plans adopted by other Canadian
corporations. Under the terms of the Rights Plan, one right will be issued by
Soho for each outstanding Soho common share at the close of business today and
for each Soho common share issued in future (subject to the terms of the Rights
Plan). The rights issued under the Rights Plan become exercisable only if a
person acquires or announces its intention to acquire 20% or more of the common
shares of the Company without complying with the "Permitted Bid" provisions of
the Rights Plan or without the approval of Soho's Board of Directors.


Permitted Bids must be made to all holders of Soho's common shares by way of a
take-over bid circular prepared in compliance with applicable securities laws
and, among other things, must be open for acceptance for a minimum of 60 days.
If at the end of 60 days at least 50% of the outstanding common shares other
than those owned by the offeror and certain related parties have been tendered
and not withdrawn, the bidder may take-up and pay for the shares but must extend
the bid for a further 10 days to allow other shareholders to tender to the bid.


If a take-over bid does not meet the Permitted Bid requirements of the Rights
Plan, the rights will entitle shareholders, excluding the shareholder or
shareholders making the take-over bid, to purchase additional common shares of
the Company at a substantial discount to the market price of the common shares
at that time.


The Rights Plan became effective as of February 1, 2008 but must be ratified by
shareholders within six months in order to continue to be effective. The Rights
Plan is also subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange. A copy of the
Rights Plan will be available at www.sedar.com. 


Soho is not adopting a Rights Plan in response to any proposal to acquire
control of the Company.
