NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES



Gold Hawk Resources Inc. ("Gold Hawk" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:GHK) announced today that the Company has entered into a Letter of Intent (the "LOI") with Pala Investments Holdings Limited ("Pala") to carry out a non-brokered private placement offering of up to 12,500,000 common shares ("Shares") at a subscription price of $2.00 per Share (the "Proposed Financing") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $25.0 million. Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, Pala may subscribe for 10,000,000 Shares at a price of $2.00 per Share, with the remaining 2,500,000 Shares to be offered to Coalcorp Mining Inc. ("Coalcorp") on identical terms in line with its previously negotiated right of first refusal. In the event that Coalcorp declines to participate in the Proposed Financing, then Pala will have the right to subscribe for the 2,500,000 Shares.


The Proposed Financing remains subject to the receipt of required regulatory and shareholder approvals and the execution of a subscription agreement on or before February 28, 2011 (the "Termination Date"), which will include customary closing conditions. Gold Hawk anticipates holding a special meeting of shareholders on or about March 28, 2011 to consider and approve the Proposed Financing, which is expected to close shortly thereafter.


There is no assurance that the Proposed Financing will be completed on the terms contemplated in the LOI or at all. Pursuant to the LOI, among other things, Gold Hawk has agreed to pay Pala a break fee in the amount of $500,000 in certain limited circumstances, which include Gold Hawk entering into an agreement concerning any "Third Party Transaction", as defined in the LOI, on or before the Termination Date.
