West Hawk Development Corp. ("West Hawk") (TSX VENTURE:WHD)(FRANKFURT:H5N) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that Fuselier Holding, LLC, of Richardson, Texas ("Fuselier") has successfully reached agreements with all of the creditors who either held a lien, or who had filed an action against West Hawk related to the trade debt on its Figure Four property in the Piceance Basin.

Last week, Fuselier's legal counsel, Gretchen VanderWerf of VanderWerf PC in Denver, CO, submitted Settlement Agreements to all of the above creditors of West Hawk. After reviewing the Settlement Agreements, all of the creditors are pleased to have a plan in place which provides for the payment of the debt owed by the Company. The Settlement Agreements received landslide approval, and has removed one of the last roadblocks, allowing West Hawk to comply with the terms and provisions of the Drilling & Development Agreement for the Figure Four Project.

"As a result of the collaborative team effort by all parties involved, we were able to move beyond the "hard rock" on specific terms and reach agreements with more than 25 creditors in less than a month. This has been a "breakthrough" for West Hawk, and Fuselier is extremely pleased at the successful outcome. Reaching these agreements in such a short period of time represents a significant event. I want to express my personal gratitude and appreciation for everyone's tireless efforts in quickly and successfully resolving all of the outstanding payment issues," stated Dr. Jean R. Fuselier Sr., President & CEO of Fuselier Holding, LLC.

Roger Baer, CFO of West Hawk, stated, "We are very pleased that our creditors have reached agreement with Fuselier. The process has allowed the Company to focus on final completion efforts at Figure Four, as well as our coal project development plans announced earlier this week."
