15.05.2019  |  CNW

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR DISSEMINATION DIRECTLY, OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES./

TORONTO, May 15, 2019 - Nighthawk Gold Corp. ("Nighthawk" or the "Company") (TSX: NHK; OTCQX: MIMZF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters co-led by PI Financial Corp and BMO Capital Markets Canada Ltd., including Haywood Securities Inc., pursuant to which the underwriters have agreed to purchase 8,054,000 flow-through common shares  (the "FT Shares") and 11,674,000 charity flow-through common shares (the "Charity FT Shares"), which the FT Shares and Charity FT Shares will qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada), on a bought deal private placement basis (the "Offering").

The FT Shares will be sold at a price of $0.40 per Share and the Charity FT Shares will be sold at a price of $0.495 per Charity FT Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $9.0 million. The Company has also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 1,208,100 FT Shares and 1,751,100 Charity FT Shares to cover over-allotments, exercisable in whole or in part at any time prior to the closing date of the Offering.  

The gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares and Charity FT Shares will be used for exploration expenditures on Nighthawk's Indin Lake Gold Property located in Canada's Northwest Territories, where the Company intends to increase its 2019 exploration budget from the initial $10 million to $15 million, and expects to complete a minimum of 35,000 metres of drilling on its Colomac Gold Project and several of its high-priority regional targets.

Dr. Michael Byron, President and CEO commented, "We are very pleased to be able to raise additional capital which will allow us to expand our ongoing exploration activities on our Indin Lake Gold Property. We are extremely appreciative of the support we continue to receive from our shareholders and strategic partners who are aligned with our vision and believe in the gold camp potential of our extensive land package.

"Drilling at Colomac commenced in early March and the first set of results are expected within the coming weeks. This year we will continue with a relatively even split of drilling between Colomac and our higher-priority regional targets that continue to illustrate the robust nature of the Indin Lake greenstone belt."

The Offering is expected to close on or about June 6, 2019, or such other date as agreed between the Company and the underwriters, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

In connection with the Offering, the underwriters will receive on closing of the Offering a cash fee of 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, excluding gross proceeds from the issuance of FT Shares and Charity FT Shares to participants on a president's list to be agreed upon by the Company and the underwriters for which a commission of 3.0% of such gross proceeds will be paid by the Company to the underwriters.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to sell any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
