TSX: NHK

TORONTO, June 6, 2019 - Nighthawk Gold Corp. ("Nighthawk" or the "Company") (TSX: NHK; OTCQX: MIMZF) is pleased to announce that it has closed the bought deal private placement (the "Offering"), announced on May 15 and May 16 2019, co-led by PI Financial Corp and BMO Capital Markets, and also including Haywood Securities Inc. (the "Underwriters"), and that the over-allotment option granted to the Underwriters was exercised in full.

Dr. Michael Byron, President and CEO commented, "We are extremely pleased with the support in this recent raise, which included our strategic partners, and a group of cornerstone shareholders who share our long-term views. Concurrent with the announcement of the financing, we announced an increase to our 2019 drill program, upsized to $15 million which we anticipate will allow us to complete a minimum of 35,000 metres of drilling (split between our Colomac Gold Project and our higher priority regional drilling targets), including the continuation of our regional prospecting and mapping program to generate new discoveries and advance priority regional targets towards drill-ready status. At the end of the 2019 drilling campaign, we will look to update the Colomac resource estimate and anticipate producing a maiden resource at our high-grade Damoti Lake Gold Project."

"I truly believe that with our continued efforts, the Indin Lake Gold Property has the endowments to become one of Canada's next gold camps which already has a growing multi million-ounce deposit at its centre. With the recent top-up in funding, we are embarking on a busy and exciting year of exploration, where initial results returned our best gold intercept to date at Colomac, which we announced on May 28, 2019. The three drills on site will be active throughout the remainder of our drilling season with two drills currently in operation at Colomac, and the third now testing some of our higher priority regional targets. We look forward to providing additional results as they become available."

Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued 14,375,000 flow-through common shares  (the "FT Shares") at a price of $0.40 per FT Share and 13,915,000 charity flow-through common shares (the "Charity FT Shares"), at a price of $0.495 per Charity FT Share for gross proceeds of $12,637,925 million. Both the FT Shares and Charity FT Shares qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

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, with an increased exploration budget of $15 million for 2019, with a minimum of 35,000 metres of drilling on its Colomac Gold Project and several of its high-priority regional targets, including approximately $1 million dedicated to its regional prospecting and mapping initiatives.

The FT Shares and Charity FT Shares issued under the Offering, as applicable, are subject to a hold period under Canadian law which will expire four months and one day from the closing date of the Offering being October 7, 2019. Certain directors and officers of the Company participated in the Offering, purchasing in the aggregate 485,000 FT Shares for aggregate proceeds of $194,000.

The Offering remain subject to the final approval of the Toronto Securities Exchange. After giving effect to this Offering, Nighthawk is well financed with approximately $22.0 million in working capital.
