VANCOUVER, Aug. 8, 2012 - Redhawk Resources, Inc. (TSX:RDK) (OTCQX:RHWKF) (FRANKFURT:QF7) ("Redhawk" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of seven final drill holes of the 2011-2012 resource expansion and definition program. (See attached map for drill hole locations: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/rdk88i.pdf).


2011-2012 Resource Expansion and Upgrade Drill Program

The 2011-2012 drill program is focused on increasing the connection and consequent resource expansion between the Keel and American Eagle (AE) porphyry areas and infill drilling to move a considerable portion of the AE resource and more of the Keel resource into the Measured and Indicated categories for a Pre-Feasibility Study that is currently underway.

Since the results from earlier drilling of the 2011 program (see prior news releases dated June 1, 2011, September 12, 2011, November 29, 2011, and January 24, 2012, March 15, 2012), assay results for seven additional core holes have now been received for:

1. RAE-11-061 drilled vertically to total depth 4153 feet (1266m)
2. RAE-11-064 drilled vertically to total depth 4217 feet (1285m)
3. RMK-12-068 drilled S2W at -83 degrees to total depth 4857.5 feet (1481m)
4. RMK-12-069 drilled S66Wat -83 degrees to total depth 4237 feet (1291m)
5. RMK-12-071 drilled E at -81.5 degrees to total depth 4343.5 feet (1324m)
6. RMK-12-076 drilled N33E at -78 degrees to total depth 4137 feet (1261m)
7. RMK-12-077 drilled S6E at -82 degrees to total depth 4263 feet (1299m)

Significant intervals are shown below. All of the holes are infill/resource upgrade holes or short step-out expansion holes in the AE and Keel resource areas. The drill holes listed above and shown with detailed significant intervals below were still in progress or not started before the data cutoff date for the May 10, 2012 NI43-101 compliant resources update by Independent Mining Consultants, Inc. The Company anticipates the results from these seven holes in conjunction with additional resource work currently being completed will be included in an updated resource report being issued late this year or early 2013.

R. Joe Sandberg, Redhawk President and CEO, stated, "Redhawk's 2011-2012 resource upgrade and expansion drilling program produced very encouraging results. The drilling results reported above will be used along with the resource reported in the Independent Mining Consultants, Inc. June 25, 2012 NI 43-101 compliant report to evaluate potential mining options for the Copper Creek Project. The options being evaluated are open pit and larger scale underground and Redhawk and its external consultants continue their work to arrive at a decision in regard to the best mining alternative. Efforts are also continuing on geotechnical evaluations, underground and open pit mining options, metallurgical testing, hydrology and ground water, engineering, and permitting. Metallurgical results from the final "locked cycle" tests are expected in the next several weeks and will be reported when final results are known. We believe the outcome of these efforts will continue to move Copper Creek closer to a production decision. As the project advances we are continually adding to both our internal and external staff to support the development of Copper Creek. Redhawk has formed a search committee to find an additional well qualified member for the board of directors having experience in development and production stage mining projects."

R. Joe Sandberg, CPG, Redhawk President, CEO and a Qualified Person under the meaning of NI 43-101, is responsible for the technical content of this news release.

All core samples are picked up on site by Redhawk geologists or delivered by the drillers to Redhawk personnel. All samples are delivered by Redhawk personnel to ALS Laboratory Group ISO 9001:2000 & ISO 17025 in Elko, NV or Reno, NV for assay or to Jacobs Assay Office Registered Assayers in Tucson, AZ for sample preparation to pulps and shipped by Jacobs using UPS to ALS in Reno, NV. Check assay standards are submitted with each assay job, and reviewed for accuracy. Check assaying is being performed by Inspectorate and KD Engineering/Metcon.


About Redhawk

Redhawk is a Canadian-based resource exploration and development company with primary focus on the accelerated development of its advanced stage Copper Creek copper-molybdenum project in San Manuel, Arizona. The 100% owned Copper Creek property consists of approximately thirty square miles of contiguous patented and unpatented mining claims and state prospecting permits, located about 70 miles northeast of Tucson, Arizona and about 15 miles east of San Manuel. The property is in the prolific southwest US porphyry copper belt at the projected intersection of a major northwest belt of porphyry copper deposits or mines (Ray, Miami/Globe, Superior/Resolution, Johnson Camp) and a major east-northeast belt of porphyry deposits (San Manuel/Kalamazoo, Silver Bell, Lakeshore, Safford, Morenci). The property is within sight of the former BHP Kalamazoo/San Manuel copper smelter and mine and within 30 miles of an existing operating copper mill and smelter. The area is a mining friendly and politically secure location with excellent and readily accessible infrastructure including power, rail, water, roads and qualified consultants.
