Nighthawk Gold Corp. reported drill results from seventeen holes (5,140 metres) at its 100% owned Damoti Lake Gold Project ("Damoti"), Northwest Territories, Canada. Drilling focused on exploring outside of the main deposit, to test several new geological targets within the host Horseshoe and Red Mountain synclines. The program successfully infilled and extended mineralized zones in both areas, intersecting additional near surface as well as deeper mineralization, and highlighting new exploration opportunities within the northern portions of the synclines. HIGHLIGHTS OF DRILLING: Horseshoe Zone: D18-02 intersected 6.95 metres of 10.12 grams per tonne gold ("gpt" "Au"), including 4.20 metres of 15.81 gpt Au; 2.50 metres of 8.97 gpt Au, including 1.00 metre of 19.36 gpt Au; D18-02B intersected 9.35 metres of 4.34 gpt Au, including 2.60 metres of 11.59 gpt Au; 5.75 metres of 9.78 gpt Au, including 3.50 metres of 15.85 gpt Au; D18-07 intersected 23.65 metres of 1.54 gpt Au, including 3.30 metres of 4.24 gpt Au, and 1.20 metres of 9.05 gpt Au; 11.25 metres of 2.18 gpt Au, including 3.00 metres of 4.55 gpt Au. D18-07B intersected 14.75 metres of 6.91 gpt Au, including 4.25 metres of 15.28 gpt Au; 9.50 metres of 2.61 gpt Au, including 4.00 metres of 3.50 gpt Au. Red Mountain Zone: D18-06 intersected 8.65 metres of 1.89 gpt Au, including 1.50 metres of 6.14 gpt Au; D18-06B intersected 4.25 metres of 3.31 gpt Au, including 1.25 metres of 10.22 gpt Au; 5.25 metres of 2.46 gpt Au, including 1.25 metres of 7.94 gpt Au. The D18-06 and D-18-06B intercepts represent a new discovery at Red Mountain that remains open in all dimensions. Highlights of the Damoti Lake Gold Deposit: Small high-grade near-surface deposit with resource expansion potential; Existing underground ramp developed into the high-grade core of Horseshoe; High-grade satellite deposit that could augment future Colomac gold development scenario; Damoti embodies the remarkable opportunities that Nighthawk's many other regional assets represent, and which collectively strengthen the Company's 100% controlled regional play centered on Colomac, a mutli-million-ounce deposit with significant growth possibilities.
