Gold Hawk Files Second Quarter Financial Results

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/30/10 -- Gold Hawk Resources Inc. ('Gold Hawk' or the 'Company') (TSX VENTURE: GHK) announces today that it has filed on SEDAR.com its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

This media release should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto for the period ended June 30, 2010, and management's discussion & analysis ('MD&A') for the period ended June 30, 2010 available on the Company's website and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The Company retains a strong balance sheet with $12.5 million in cash and equivalents and investments of $2.4 million at the end of the second quarter of 2010. Gold Hawk reported a net loss of $2.0 million ($0.16 per share) for the period ended June 30, 2010, as compared with a net loss of $8.26 million ($0.75 per share) in the same period of 2009. The loss for the second quarter of 2010 is primarily derived from an unrealized loss of $1.5 million on investments.

During the second quarter of 2010, management focused its efforts on conducting due diligence on a number of potential transactions. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company began its technical due diligence on the Oracle Ridge Copper Mine and on August 17, 2010, Gold Hawk announced that a Letter of Intent had been signed to acquire the project. Also subsequent to June 30, in early July the Company signed a Share Purchase Agreement to sell its remaining 15% interest in the operating subsidiary of the Coricancha Mine in Peru for US$4,425,000 cash.

'Gold Hawk has been successful in uncovering the Oracle Ridge Mine as an overlooked asset with value that can be unlocked through additional investment in a an updated technical report and establishing a modern production facility on site,' said Kevin Drover, Gold Hawk's President and CEO. 'The sale of the Company's remaining interests in Peru in July and the announcement of the Oracle Ridge Mine transaction set a new course for Gold Hawk as we aggressively pursue additional transactions to grow the Company.'

For additional information on the proposed acquisition of the Oracle Ridge Copper Mine, please see the Company's August 17, 2010 media release 'Gold Hawk signs Letter of Intent to acquire the Oracle Ridge Copper Mine'.
