Toronto, Ontario, July 8, 2014 – Nighthawk Gold Corp. (“Nighthawk“) (TSX Venture: NHK) is pleased to announce its 2014 drill program at its Indin Lake Gold Property (Figure 1) in the Northwest Territories.

HIGHLIGHTS: 

  • 14,000 metre drill program is underway on the Colomac Main, Goldcrest, Cass and Kim gold deposits;
  • Represents Nighthawk’s first drilling at Goldcrest, Cass and Kim;
  • Two drill rigs are scheduled to complete 8,000 metres of resource expansion drilling at the Goldcrest (6,000 metres) and Colomac Main gold deposits (2,000 metres);
  • Goldcrest drilling will focus on verifying and expanding on previous shallow, higher grade gold intersections that are open to depth;
  • Colomac Main drilling will aim to expand Zones 2.0 and 2.5 down plunge of previously drilled higher grade shoots;
  • A third rig will drill the Cass (4,000 metres) and Kim (2,000 metres) gold deposits (20 kilometres southwest of Colomac) to confirm historic high-grade intersections at Cass and to extend mineralization to depth and laterally; and
  • Reported historic gold intersections at Cass (March 26, 2014; April 10, 2014; April 24, 2014 news release) establish its potential as a near-surface, bulk-mineable opportunity that hosts significant grades over sizeable widths.HIGHLIGHTS:
