NIGHTHAWK REPORTS HIGH GRADE RESULTS AT CASS
Hole CM21-44 returned 3.76 g/t Au over 33.15 m including 7.16 g/t Au over 9.50 m
TORONTO, Jan. 13, 2022 - Nighthawk Gold Corp. ("Nighthawk" or the "Company") (TSX: NHK) (OTCQX: MIMZF) is pleased to report assay results for thirteen (13) drillholes (totalling 5,373 metres) at the Cass Zone ("Cass"), along with twelve (12) holes (totalling 3,558 metres) drilled at the Kim Zone ("Kim").
Drilling at Cass (Figure 1 and 2) tested the depth extension of the known historical mineralization, where very limited drilling had previously been done below 200 metres ("m"). The host altered gabbro of the mineralization was intersected in every hole with visible gold encountered in three holes (CM21-44, CM21-46, and CM21-48). Hole CM21-44 was the highlight of this series returning high-grade gold mineralization across an extensive width of 33.15 m, demonstrating the potential of Cass, which remains open at depth and further to the east.
Keyvan Salehi, President & CEO commented "We are very pleased with the results released today from an area that continues to impress. The higher-grade nature of Cass mineralization at depth is an important milestone for this area, demonstrating potential for underground mining opportunities. While our goals for 2021 were focused on the delineation of near-surface, open pit ounces, this year and going forward, we will begin to allocate capital to test the depth extension of our deposits where the grade profile potentially supports the addition of underground resources to our existing global resource base."
