VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire– Nov. 12, 2009) - Gold Hawk Resources Inc. ("Gold Hawk" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CGK) announces that the sale of an 85 per cent interest in the Coricancha Mine (the "Transaction") to Nyrstar International BV ("Nyrstar"; NYSE Euronext Brussels: [ NYR ]) has closed.

All conditions of closing have been met, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, the replacement of Gold Hawk by Nyrstar as the guarantor of the US$13 million debt facility of Compania Minera San Juan (Peru) S.A. ("CMSJ"), the Peruvian operating company, and the consent of Gold Hawk's lenders under the provisions of its debt facilities.

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 CMSJ will be sufficient to finance the re-start and expansion of the mine.
