VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/29/10 -- Gold Hawk Resources Inc. ('Gold Hawk' or the 'Company') (TSX VENTURE: GHK) announces that it has filed on SEDAR.com its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

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

The Company retains a strong balance sheet with $15.3 million in cash, working capital of $15.4 million and long-term debt of $3.6 million at the end of the third quarter of 2010. Gold Hawk recorded a net income of $4.5 million ($0.34 per share) for the period ended September 30, 2010, as compared with a net loss of $4.6 million ($0.43 per share) in the same period of 2009. The 2010 quarterly results were primarily derived from gain of $4.6 million on the sale of the Company's remaining 15% interest in its operating subsidiary Compania Minera San Juan (Peru) ('CMSJ').

'Now that we have completed the acquisition of the Oracle Ridge Mine and added several of the principals from that organization who bring a wealth of financial, geological and operational expertise, together, we are well positioned to deliver on shareholder value,' said Kevin Drover, Gold Hawk's Chairman and CEO. 'While the immediate focus is on the Oracle Ridge project, Gold Hawk continues to review potential merger and acquisition opportunities with the goal of quickly growing the Company.'

During the third quarter of 2010, management focused its efforts on concluding due diligence and completing the acquisition of the Oracle Ridge Copper Mine located 24 km northeast of Tucson, Arizona. Further to the closing of the transaction on September 28, the Company has initiated the process of completing a NI 43-101 compliant technical report on reserves and resources and plans to bring the mine back into production.

Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company received proceeds of $1.1 million from the forced conversion of warrants and $7.0 million (net of finder's fee) from a private placement with Coalcorp Mining Inc. In addition, the Company sold certain shares and warrants subsequent to quarter-end that were classified as 'held for trading' for proceeds of $4.6 million. The Company will recognize a total realized gain of approximately $2.7 million for the year-end December 31, 2010 from this transaction, of which an accrued unrealized gain of $1.3 million was recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Gold Hawk is pleased to announce that Tiffany Grenke has joined the Company as Corporate Controller. Tiffany is a Chartered Accountant with expertise in external financial reporting and compliance. Prior to joining Gold Hawk, Tiffany was the Corporate Controller of New Gold Inc. and its predecessor company Peak Gold Ltd. Tiffany also previously held the position of Manager with the public accounting firm Deloitte & Touche LLP, where she led audits of public companies and oversaw SOX 404 implementations with specific emphasis on the mining industry.
