Vancouver, British Columbia – HAWKEYE Gold & Diamond Inc. (the “Company” or “HAWKEYE”) (TSX.V-HAWK; Frankfurt Ticker: HGT; ISIN: CA42016R3027; WKN: A12A61): wishes to announce it is reviewing additional property acquisition(s) adjacent to Australian gold miner Newcrest Mining Ltd. (ASX-NCM) (“NCM”) and Imperial Metals (TSX: III) (“III”) Red Chris copper gold mine, adjacent to GT Gold Corp., (TSX.V-GTT) (“GTT”) copper gold Saddle discoveries.
The properties HAWKEYE is reviewing for potential acquisition will be based upon the same or similar geological settings as the Red Chris mine, GTT copper and gold discovery and the Company’s McBride property. As disclosed in a news release dated June 18, 2019 (news release No. 314 -2019), HAWKEYE’s McBride Property is strategically situated adjacent to the Red Chris mine and GT Gold’s copper gold discoveries and shares the same geological setting as both.
The Newcrest Mining purchase of a 70% interest in the Red Chris mine ($806.5 Million) and Newmont Goldcorp investment in GTT ($17.6 Million), a combined investment totaling $824.1 Million into acquisitions and financings in the Iskut porphyry copper gold belt has increased investor interest in this new and emerging area in the northeastern section of the BC Golden Triangle. The Golden Triangle is situated in northwest British Columbia, Canada, and is one of the most prolific world class mining regions in the world.
Mr. Greg Neeld, President & CEO of the Company states “During HAWKEYE’s late 2018 exploration programs the Company advanced its McBride property to recommended ground-based Induced Polarization geophysical surveys and a 2019 drill program. The Company is excited to be strategically positioned in this new copper gold belt that has seen two of the world’s largest miners invest a significant amount of money in the area. HAWKEYE is reviewing additional potential property acquisition(s) to increase its exposure in this new and exciting area of the BC Golden Triangle intending to position HAWKEYE for success and potential discovery.”
