Toronto, Ontario, July 28, 2015 – Nighthawk Gold Corp. (“Nighthawk“) (TSX Venture: NHK) is pleased to announce the initiation of its 2015 drill program at its 100% owned Colomac Gold Deposit in the Northwest Territories. Drilling will focus on extending the recently discovered high-grade gold mineralization at Zone 1.5 and testing Zone 1.0, which is believed to host mineralization similar to Zone 1.5, for the first time.
HIGHLIGHTS:

• The program will follow-up on the success of Nighthawk’s 2014 drill results where hole C14-06 intersected 52.50 metres of 7.78 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold, including 21.00 metres of 16.73 g/t gold in Zone 1.5 (see December 3, 2014 news release);
• A 3,000 metre drill program, to be completed by early September 2015, will focus on Zones 1.0 and 1.5, which comprise the northern portion of the Colomac sill (Figure 1);
• The objective is to better define the dimensions of Zones 1.5 and 1.0 and further evaluate the extent of gold mineralization contained therein, especially within the near surface environment.

Nighthawk President and CEO, David Wiley, commented, “The significant results we encountered from Zone 1.5 during our 2014 drill program prove the northern portion of the Colomac sill merits further exploration. Those results clearly demonstrate the potential for significant resource growth at Colomac. Zones 1.5 and 1.0 along the Colomac sill have been historically underexplored and present attractive targets. We look forward to testing these areas and advancing our project.”
