Nighthawk Intersects 145.75 Metres of 3.33 gpt Gold (uncut) at Colomac; Step Out Drilling Expands High-Grade Zone 1.5

Precious Metals

Nighthawk Gold Corp. (“Nighthawk” or the “Company”) (TSX: NHK) is pleased to report assay results from its wholly owned Colomac Gold Project located within its Indin Lake Gold Property, the Northwest Territories, Canada. A total of eight recently completed drill holes (see Table 1; Figures 1 to 6) are being reported on with three holes following up on the Company’s latest drill results at Zone 1.5 (see press release dated July 13, 2017), that have significantly expanded the high-grade gold zone along strike and to depth below the current resource.
As quoted in the press release:

Dr. Michael Byron, President and CEO commented, “We have now reported on just over 9,000 metres of our planned 25,000 metre program, with all holes intersecting gold mineralization. We remain encouraged by the breadth of the mineralized zones that we continue to intersect, and are confident in our ability to continue tracing and expanding the high-grade mineralization at Zone 1.5. The fact that it can now be accurately tracked and expanded, and that it maintains its higher-grade character, are both important features that will positively impact our upcoming resource estimate. Drilling will continue to develop the zone as well as test other priorities within the Colomac and Goldcrest sills, and recently generated regional targets. Results of that work will be reported once assays are received and verified.”
