VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 27, 2009) - Gold Hawk Resources Inc. ("Gold Hawk" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CGK) announces today that it has filed on SEDAR.com its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.

Major highlights and developments during the third quarter of 2009 include:

  • Announcing a non-binding heads of agreement to sell 85% of its Peruvian operating subsidiary, Compañía Minera San Juan (Peru) S.A. ("CMSJ") for US$15 million; and
  • Receiving notice of final approval of the modification of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to include the new tailings handling area at Chinchan and the tailings transfer system. A fully permitted tailings facility was one of the last critical steps in the process of re-starting mining operations.

Subsequent to September 30, 2009 the Company:

  • Closed a transaction to sell an 85 per cent interest in the Coricancha Mine (the "Transaction") to Nyrstar International BV ("Nyrstar"; NYSE Euronext Brussels: [ NYR ]) for US$15 million.
As a result of the Transaction:
  • Gold Hawk has $15 million cash ($0.05 per share);
  • Nyrstar replaced Gold Hawk as the guarantor of the US$13 million debt facility for CMSJ;
  • Nyrstar has provided a US$20 million loan to CMSJ, which will be sufficient to finance the re-start and expansion of the mine; and,
  • Gold Hawk retains an equity interest of 15% in the Coricancha Mine.

Nyrstar has indicated that the Coricancha Mine could be in production in the first half of 2010.

Shareholders approved the Transaction at a November 9 Special Meeting of Shareholders. Also approved at the Meeting was 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 the amendment of the 2009 stock option plan to create a rolling plan.

"Gold Hawk is ideally positioned with no debt, no debt guarantees, a 15% interest in the Coricancha Mine and $15 million in cash – the equivalent of $0.05 per share," said Kevin Drover, Gold Hawk's President and CEO. "Gold Hawk intends to use the proceeds of the transaction to pursue business opportunities in the mining industry in a manner that will enhance shareholder value."
