(the “Company” or “HAWKEYE”) (TSX.V-HAWK; Frankfurt Ticker: HGT; ISIN: CA42016R3027; WKN: A12A61): announces that it has received TSX Venture Exchange acceptance for and closed upon a non-brokered flow-through unit and non-flow-through unit financing which was originally announced on September 23, 2019 (news release No. 326 – 2019) followed by a subsequent announcement on November 18, 2019 (news release No. 337 – 2019) relating to the closing of the first tranche of this financing for $219,000. This placement was originally announced for total proceeds of $500,000 (Cdn), however, due to unfavorable market conditions HAWKEYE closed the placement by issuing 1,000,000 flow-through-units at a price of 0.05 per unit (“Flow-Through-Unit) and 3,380,000 non-flow-through units at a price of $0.05 per unit (“Common Unit”) for total proceeds of $219,000 (raised during the first tranche).

Each Common Unit consists of one non-flow through common share of the Company and one transferable share purchase warrant, with each such warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $0.10 per common share for a period of twenty-four months expiring November 15, 2021.

Each Flow-Through Unit consists of one flow-through common share of the Company and one half of a transferable share purchase warrant, with each such full warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one non-flow-through common share at a price of $0.10 per common share for a period of twelve (12) months expiring November 15, 2020.

If the Issuer’s common shares have a closing price of $0.20 (CDN) or more per share for ten consecutive trading days on the TSX Venture Exchange, the Corporation shall be entitled to give notice to the holders of the warrants issued pursuant to the Flow-Through Units and Common Units that such warrants will expire thirty days from the date of mailing of such notice or the news release of such notice, unless such warrants are exercised before the expiry of that period, and in such event all unexercised warrants will expire at 4:30 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the last day of such thirty day period. None of the warrants issued pursuant to the Offering will be listed for trading.

Proceeds from the Offering are for general working capital, trades and exploration expenditures.

The shares are subject to a four month hold period expiring March 15, 2020.
