Vancouver, British Columbia – HAWKEYE Gold & Diamond Inc. (the “Company” or “HAWKEYE”) (TSX.V-HAWK; Frankfurt Ticker: HGT; ISIN: CA42016R3027; WKN: A12A61): is pleased to announce that Dias Geophysical Ltd. has completed coarse 3D inversion models from their recent DIAS32 ground-based Induced Polarization (IP) survey and have identified two drill targets with chargeability anomalies in the northern and western parts of the McBride property.
The northern chargeability anomaly lies beneath a magnetic high that encompasses a 2 km long Cu-Au geochemical trend with samples reporting up to 5.18 g/t Au and 1.89% Cu. The western chargeability anomaly is underlain by an annular-shaped magnetic high commonly associated with intrusion-hosted Cu-Au porphyry deposits.
These geophysical anomalies outlined from the survey will be tested by a planned diamond drilling program of up to 2,000 metres to follow later in 2019.
Mr. Greg Neeld, President & CEO of the Company states “HAWKEYE is very pleased with the results from the IP survey, which has outlined two encouraging chargeability anomalies beneath our Cu-Au geochemical trend in the north and the annular-shaped magnetic high in the west. Our geological team has interpreted the results of the data and selected pad locations best suited to target these anomalies. The Company is excited to move forward with plans for a 2019 diamond drill program to test these chargeability targets.”
