TORONTO, Feb. 19, 2020 /CNW/ - Nighthawk Gold Corp. ("Nighthawk" or the "Company") (TSX: NHK; OTCQX: MIMZD) is pleased to report drill results from the Goldcrest sill ("Goldcrest"), a parallel sill located 400 metres east of the Colomac Main sill  ("Colomac Main"), and part of the Company's flagship Colomac Gold Project ("Colomac"), located within the north-central portion of its 100% owned Indin Lake Gold Property Northwest Territories, Canada (Table 1, Figure 1). Seven holes (2,190 metres) were drilled to follow-up on areas highlighted by Nighthawk's three previous drill campaigns, and to target new resource expansion opportunities within Goldcrest's southern section ("Goldcrest South").

Dr. Michael Byron, President and Chief Executive Officer said, "Goldcrest is very similar to Colomac Main except it has been drilled significantly less and has a shorter strike length of 2.5 kilometres compared to the 9-kilometre strike length of Colomac Main. Goldcrest was last drilled in 2017 and several key areas remain unexplored as illustrated by the high-grade intercept in hole C19-05. This hole was drilled within a previously untested section of the sill tracing strong continuity of mineralization to depth. We continue to encounter robust mineralization throughout the Colomac area sills, which reinforces our belief that with continued exploration, new discoveries and ongoing expansion of known zones will follow."
