Redhawk Resources, Inc. Clarifies Technical Disclosure

VANCOUVER, May 24, 2016) - Redhawk Resources, Inc. ("Redhawk" or the "Company") (TSX:RDK) (FRANKFURT:QF7) announces that the Company is issuing the following news release to clarify its disclosure.


Non-Compliant Disclosure of Mineral Resources

In the Company's corporate presentation entitled, "Large Copper System, Copper Creek Arizona" (the "Corporate Presentation"), which is available on its website, the Company had provided a resource estimate, expressed as contained metal quantities, which omitted certain information required by National Instrument 43-101- Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), including the grade of each category of mineral resource. In addition, contrary to NI 43-101, the Corporate Presentation disclosed a combined contained metal quantity which summed inferred mineral resources with other classes of mineral resources. The Company has now updated the Corporate Presentation and revised the disclosure to include the grade of every metal in each category of mineral resource and present the inferred mineral resources as a separate class in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101.

In addition, the Company's website inadvertently referred to its previous preliminary economic assessment dated July 25, 2013 (the "Prior PEA"), rather than its amended preliminary economic assessment dated October 28, 2013 (the "Amended PEA"). The Prior PEA was not compliant with NI 43-101 and should not be relied on. The Amended PEA was filed to replace it in its entirety and the website has been updated to refer to the Amended PEA.


Non-Compliant Disclosure of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA)

The Company's website also contained disclosure from the Amended PEA which was not compliant with NI 43-101 because it did not contain the following cautionary language: "The Amended PEA is preliminary in nature as it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the results of the Amended PEA will be realized." The Company's website has now been updated to include this disclosure.

Finally, the Company's disclosure of the Amended PEA results on its website failed to discuss the impact of taxes on such results. The cash flow-analysis in the Amended PEA is pre-tax. If the Copper Creek project is profitable, the Company would be subject to tax in the State of Arizona. Combined federal and state corporate income taxes in the State of Arizona have been estimated at 39.53 percent. A further discussion on the impact of taxes on the results of the Amended PEA is available on the Company's website and in the Amended PEA.

R. Joe Sandberg, CPG, President and Director of the Company, is a qualified person within the meaning of N1 43-101 and has approved this written disclosure.
