All together the Indin Lake property hosts 50.3 million inferred tonnes averaging 1.62 g/t gold and containing 2.6 million oz. of gold. Nighthawk says it has $26.1 million of cash in its treasury that will fund work for the next 24 months. The next steps at Colomac include at least 25,000 metres of drilling both to explore for more high grade zones and to provide infill information. Additional metallurgical tests are planned for material from both the Colomac and Goldcrest sills. Further information is posted at www.NighthawkGold.com.
