Redhawk Conducts Strategic Review Extension of Due Diligence on Zambian Option

VANCOUVER, Oct. 28, 2016 - Redhawk Resources Inc. ("Redhawk" or the "Company") (TSX:RDK) (FRANKFURT:QF7) announced today that the Company has been provided with a formal notice of termination dated October 28, 2016 (the "Termination") by Anglo American US Holdings Inc. ("Anglo American" and together with Redhawk, the "Parties") in regard to the joint venture through which the Parties have been performing exploration and development of the copper-molybdenum project in San Manuel, Arizona (the "Copper Creek Project") pursuant to an agreement dated as of November 25, 2014. As a result of the Termination, as of October 28, 2016 Anglo American will cease to have any interest in the Copper Creek Project and the project will be 100% owned by Redhawk.

Joe Sandberg, President and CEO of Redhawk commented: "The joint venture with Anglo American enabled the Company to retain the entire Copper Creek Project and advance our knowledge of the project through approximately US$7m in expenditures during a challenging period for the base metals mining sector. The main focus during the past two years has been regional exploration primarily in portions of the expansive property that had not previously been reviewed. Our focus will now turn back to advancing the development of the existing large resource and considering alternative strategies. We thank Anglo American for their interest, assistance and efforts during the past two years."


Strategic Review

The Company continues to hold discussions with various strategic groups, and a special committee of the board of the Company, consisting of independent directors, has been appointed to review and evaluate all value-add strategic alternatives.

The scope of strategic alternatives to be considered is broad and could include, but not be limited to, a strategic investment in the Copper Creek Project or the Company by a third party, a joint venture arrangement, the sale of all or a portion of the Copper Creek Project, a sale of the Company, a business combination with another entity, or some combination of the foregoing.

Over the past several months, the Company has conducted discussions and executed confidentiality agreements with a number of interested parties regarding potential strategic alternatives and will continue to advance those discussions. At present, there can be no assurance as to what, if any, strategic alternatives might be pursued by the Company. The Company does not intend to disclose further details with respect to its review of strategic alternatives unless, and until, the board of directors of the Company has approved a specific transaction or otherwise determined that further disclosure is warranted.


Zambian Option

The Company has extended the due diligence review period to November 15, 2016 in regard to the option agreement with Copperzone Resources Ltd. on four licensed properties in Zambia.
