Nighthawk receives permits to commence drilling at Cass Zone, part of the recently optioned Kim & Cass property

4 May 2021

Nighthawk Gold Corp. is pleased to announce that it has received Water License and Land Use Permit for the recently optioned Kim & Cass Property (see press release dated February 19, 2021). The Kim & Cass Property consists of a total of 7,588 acres (31km2) that incorporate the historic Kim and Cass zones ("Kim", and "Cass", respectively), and is located approximately 15km southwest of the Colomac Main Deposit ("Colomac"), immediately adjacent to the main Indin Lake Gold Property claim group (Figure 1), Northwest Territories, Canada.  
The Kim & Cass Property is a high-priority target for this year's exploration program as Cass already has a historical non-compliant resource and is located immediately adjacent to the Company's Albatross Target (Figure 2). Cass, along with the Albatross Target are part of a 7km long favourable trend, which has seen limited drilling in the past. In addition, the Kim Zone further to the northeast provides an additional 3km of highly prospective and underexplored strike length. Exploration at Cass aligns with the strategy of identifying near-surface mineralization proximal to Colomac. Drilling will focus on preliminary testing of the northern and southern extension of the zone in an effort to extend mineralization along strike, while additional work will be conducted to bring the zone into compliance with NI 43-101 standards.
