Nighthawk Intersects 72.65 Metres of 5.58 g/t Gold (Uncut), Including 17.80 Metres of 17.72 g/t Gold (Uncut) at Colomac - Expands High-Grade Zone 1.5
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Oct 12, 2016) - Nighthawk Gold Corp. ("Nighthawk" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:NHK) today announced that recent drilling has defined the near surface boundaries and dimensions of Zone 1.5, and accordingly, supports the existence of constrained high-grade domains within the Colomac mineralized system. Nighthawk previously reported results from step-out drilling at this newly discovered zone (see September 13, 2016 news release) where C16-03 intersected 52.07 metres (40 metres true width) of 7.72 g/t gold, including 25.47 metres of 14.25 g/t gold, and including 12.35 metres of 9.58 g/t gold. Today's results show that the zone continues uninterrupted down plunge and supports its continuity of mineralization to depth, as C16-03B cut 72.65 metres (50 metres true width) of 5.58 g/t gold, including 17.80 metres of 17.72 g/t gold, 100 metres below the C16-03 intersection (Figures 1, 2, 3 / Table 1).
