Nighthawk Gold Provides an Update on the Wildfires in the Northwest Territories

Nighthawk Gold Corp. (“Nighthawk” or the “Company”) (TSX: NHK; OTCQX: MIMZF) reports that the Colomac Gold Project camp site remains secured and unaffected by the wildfires that are currently impacting areas in Northwest Territories, Canada, including the city of Yellowknife. Exploration drilling at the 24/27 Deposit was completed in mid-July and the camp was subsequently closed and shut down for the upcoming fall and winter season. There are currently no personnel at the camp site, and they are 100% safe.

Nighthawk President & CEO Keyvan Salehi commented, “Many areas of the Northwest Territories have been severely impacted by the wildfires, including our neighbouring communities and the city of Yellowknife. Currently, the Colomac Gold Project camp site is closed, secured, and unaffected by the wildfires and there are no personnel at our site. We continue to monitor the situation and we will update the markets if there are any changes. Our thoughts are with the people of NWT and the communities impacted. Our team will aim to provide any support needed. We hope for an immediate resolution to the ongoing wildfires.”

Cautionary Statement regarding the PEA

The reader is advised that the PEA referenced in this press release is only a conceptual study of the potential viability of the Project's mineral resource estimates, and the economic and technical viability of the Project and its estimated mineral resources has not been demonstrated. The PEA is preliminary in nature and provides only an initial, high-level review of the Project's potential and design options; there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. The PEA conceptual LOM plan and economic model include numerous assumptions and mineral resource estimates including Inferred mineral resource estimates. Inferred mineral resource estimates are too speculative geologically to have any economic considerations applied to such estimates. There is no guarantee that Inferred mineral resource estimates will be converted to Indicated or Measured mineral resources, or that Indicated or Measured resources can be converted to mineral reserves. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability, and as such there is no guarantee the Project economics described herein will be achieved. Mineral resource estimates may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant risks, uncertainties, and other factors, as more particularly described in the Cautionary Statements at the end of this news release.
