VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 9, 2009) - Gold Hawk Resources Inc. ("Gold Hawk" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CGK) announces that shareholders have voted overwhelmingly in favour of the sale of an 85 per cent interest in the Coricancha Mine (the "Transaction") to Nyrstar Netherlands (Holdings) BV ("Nyrstar"; NYSE Euronext Brussels: [ NYR ]) or its Nominee at a Special Meeting of Shareholders held today. A total of 96.1% were in favour of the transaction.

"Upon completion of the Nyrstar transaction, Gold Hawk will have no debt, no debt guarantees, a 15% interest in the Coricancha Mine and US$15 million in cash - the equivalent of $0.05 per share in cash," said Kevin Drover, Gold Hawk's President and CEO. "Gold Hawk intends to use the proceeds of the transaction to pursue alternative business opportunities in the mining industry."

The Coricancha Mine could be in production during the first half of 2010. It is expected the US$20 million loan that Nyrstar will provide to Compania Minera San Juan (Peru) S.A. ("CMSJ"), the Peruvian operating company, will be sufficient to finance the re-start and expansion of the mine.

The transaction is subject to certain customary conditions, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the replacement of Gold Hawk by Nyrstar as the guarantor of CMSJ's US$13 million debt facility, which is due in February 2010. In addition, the consent of Gold Hawk's lenders under the provisions of its debt facilities is required.

Shareholders also approved the consolidation of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on the basis of every 25 common shares of the Company into 1 common share of the Company and approved the amendment of the 2009 stock option plan to create a rolling plan. Results for all three resolutions proposed are contained in the table below:
