Keyvan Salehi, President and CEO commented, "We are very pleased with the support received on this recent Offering. This allows us to carry out Phase I of our expanded exploration programs for this year, which will be our largest drilling campaign to date, and we look forward to providing an update on the start-up of the drilling season in due course."
Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued 2,550,000 units ("Units"), each comprised of one non-flow-through common share and 0.4 of one non-flow-through common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"); (ii) 865,000 flow-through units ("FT Units"), each comprised of one flow-through common share and 0.4 of one Warrant; and (iii) 5,750,000 premium flow-through units ("Premium FT Units"), each comprised of one flow-through common share and 0.4 of one Warrant, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $10.95 million. The common share components of the FT Units and the Premium FT Units qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share at a price of $1.35 until April 10, 2023.
The gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Units and Premium FT Units will be used for exploration expenditures on Nighthawk's Indin Lake Gold Property, located in Canada's Northwest Territories. The net proceeds from the sale of the Units will be used for general corporate purposes.
Each of the securities issued under the Offering is subject to a hold period under Canadian law that will expire four months and one day from the closing date of the Offering, being August 9, 2021. Certain directors and officers of the Company participated in the Offering, purchasing in the aggregate 303,000 Units and 164,500 FT Units for aggregate proceeds of $480,055.

About Nighthawk
Nighthawk is a Canadian-based gold exploration company with 100% ownership of a district-scale land position within the Indin Lake Greenstone Belt, located approximately 200km north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. Within this largely underexplored Archean gold camp, the Company has identified a number of high-priority targets all centered around a growing multi-million-ounce deposit.

The main goals and objectives over the next 12-24 months will be to carry out aggressive exploration to support mineral resource expansion opportunities as well as to foster new, near-surface discoveries that support the global mineral resource base.
The Company has an experienced and dedicated team with a track record of successfully advancing projects and is well funded and supported to complete its goals and objectives.
