HAWKEYE Gold & Diamond Inc. (the “Company” or "HAWKEYE"): Vancouver, British Columbia (TSX.V-HGO): announces that Mr. Dan Cardinal, P.Geo (BC and AB and F.G.A.C.) due to being closely involved with a Singapore investment group and representing them in their mineral resource projects in western Canada, will no longer be acting as “exploration advisor” and Qualified Person (QP) for Hawkeye’s Properties. The Company would like to take this opportunity to thank Dan for his loyal and dedicated work and wish him the best in his future endeavours.

Mr. Neeld further stated that management focus under current brutal but improving mining market conditions is to protect the Company structure, its core assets and add to its management team as we move forward. This strategy should place HAWKEYE in a position to raise funds for it projects and create value for its shareholders when mining markets recover which we believe is around the corner.”
| The REX Property, which is in good standing with the Yukon Mining Recorders Office and the Vendor, | is |
| a platinum group element (PGE)-Au property consisting of 150 claims totaling 3,120 hectares. The claim | |
| block is located 124 kilometers west of Whitehorse and 8 kilometers south of Haines Junction in the Yukon | |
| Territory. The REX Property is situated along the Shakwak / Denali Fault system, that transects the Kluane | |
| Range Mountains and the Kluane Ni-Cu PGE Belt, home to the ultramafic hosted Wellgreen PGE Deposit. | |
| This deposit is 141 kilometers northwest of the Rex property along the Alaska Highway and is under | |
| advanced assessment by the Wellgreen Platinum Company. The Wellgreen Deposit has a reported Indicated | |
| Resource of 14.4 Mt at 2.23 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 0.68% Ni and 0.62% Cu, and an Inferred Resource of 446.6 Mt | |
| at 0.87 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 0.31% Ni and 0.25% Cu at a 0.22% NiEq cut-off. The exploration focus in the REX | |
| claim block, which is underlain by a large ultramafic intrusion, is directed towards Wellgreen Type | |
| ultramafic hosted Ni-Cu-Au-PGE mineralization. Although most of the property is unexplored, a 1987 | |
| reconnaissance geochemical survey over the central part of the Rex claims generated anomalous gold, | |
| platinum, palladium and copper values. The most extensive area of anomalous platinum (25-60 ppb) and | |
| gold (up to 160ppb) extends over an approximate distance of 3,200 meters. |
