Hawkeye Gold & Diamond Inc. Commences Work Programs over its Properties in Barkerville Gold Camp
Vancouver, Oct 8 2021 - Hawkeye Gold & Diamond Inc. (the "Company" or "HAWKEYE") (TSXV-HAWK; Frankfurt Ticker: HGT; WKN: A12A61): is pleased to announce that the Company has commenced a multi-phased work program over its 2-Aces, Seller Creek, Cariboo Valley, Cariboo Lake, Keithley Creek and Swift River properties (the "Properties) that are strategically located in the prolific Barkerville gold camp. Prior to commencement of the ground-based work program Hawkeye engaged a geophysics consulting firm to perform an interpretation and inversion 3D analysis for the 2018 airborne geophysical survey that the Company had flown over the Properties by Geotech Ltd. As a result of the analysis several new targets were identified for exploration follow-up by our crew.

The exploration program over the Properties will include traditional mapping and prospecting of outcrops using both trail access and helicopters, complimented with a regional stream sediment sampling program to identify sources of precious and base metal occurrences within catchment areas. The team is also equipped with an XRF mobile lab which will provide vital information regarding pathfinder elements which will allow the program to be adapted "on the fly", thus ensuring efficient use of field time. A drone is also being used to collect high resolution imagery of sites to support structural and geological interpretation work post-season.
