    Hawk Acquires Coal Permit - Increasing
    Exposure to High Value Markets
    HIGHLIGHTS
    • Hawk acquires prospective coal tenement in Bowen Basin, QLD
    • Work to date indicates the potential for deep resources of semisoft
    coking coal
    • Hawk is delivering on its strategy of acquiring significant assets
    in high value markets, namely tungsten and coal
    Hawk Resources Limited (ASX: HFC) is pleased to advise that it has
    acquired a 100% interest in Exploration Permit EPC 1070 (Mount
    McDonald North) which is highly prospective for semi-soft coking coal.

    28 December 2007
    Hawk Resources Limited acquires rights to 80% of
    the Callie Soak Tungsten Project, Murchison,
    Western Australia
    HIGHLIGHTS
    Due diligence successfully completed on the Callie Soak
    Tungsten prospect and formal documentation executed;
    Previous drilling within the tenement has highlighted
    several wolframite bearing lenses at encouraging grades;
    The most significant lens is known as Martins Lode, in
    which previous drilling includes an intercept of 3.0m
    @1.77%WO3 from 5.8m; and
    An extensive exploration program advancing the
    historical work completed previously at Martins Load to
    commence upon the Exploration Licence being granted.
    As a result of the active perusal of growth opportunities by
    the Board, Hawk Resources Limited (ASX: HFC) announced
    on 3 October 2007 that a Heads of Agreement had been
    signed in relation to the Callie Soak Tungsten Project
    (ELA20/0669) which is located approximately 40 kilometres
    west-northwest of Cue in Western Australia (Figure 1).
    Detailed due diligence has now been completed, a formal
    sale and purchase agreement has been executed and
    subject to the payment of $20,000 and the issue of $40,000
    worth of shares in Hawk, Hawk has been assigned an 80%
    interest in the project. The Board is pleased to present
    further technical details on the Callie Soak Tungsten Project
    as detailed below.

    ASX RELEASE
    Callie Soak Project – Overview
    The project contains a wealth of historical technical
    information and drilling results suggesting significant
    potential for this project given the current tungsten market.
    As a result of a drilling program conducted in 1970, a pit
    design and feasibility study was completed on Martin’s Lode
    with the final conclusion being that an increase in the
    tungsten price was needed before the site could be
    economically mined.
    Figure 1 – Callie Soak prospect location map
    During the period 1972 to 1979 when the last detailed
    examination of Callie Soak occurred, the price of tungsten
    concentrate was US$47 to US$61 MTU of WO3 concentrate.
    The current price is around US$250 MTU highlighting that the
    economics have changed significantly warranting a reassessment
    of the projects’ potential.
    Following this technical review, the Directors are of the view
    that field activity be commenced as soon as the Exploration
    Licence is granted. The proposed work program will include
    detailed geological mapping of the area, specifically to
    outline all the wolframite bearing lenses, and then conduct
    a drilling program to seek an extension of the subsurface
    mineralisation. Larger samples also will be collected to
    confirm the extensive metallurgical work previously
    undertaken. In conjunction with this, a geochemical
    sampling program over soil and streams across the
    tenement will be undertaken to help locate nearby
    concealed tungsten mineralisation.
    Callie Soak Project – Technical Information
    The information presented below is historical information
    that has been collected from previous company technical
    reports in relation to the project.
    Wolframite (tungsten mineral) bearing quartz veinlets are
    hosted in lensoid shaped quartz-bitotie-topaz greisen zones,
    within steeply dipping shears in porphyritic granite to granite
    gneiss. There a number of these wolframite bearing lenses,
    with the largest known lens called Martin’s Lode. The
    Martin’s Lode Lens has a reported length of 85 metres and is
    up to 36 metres wide. In 1951, a 369 tonne bulk sample of
    material from Martin’s Load was treated at the Cue State
    Battery and provided a weighted average grade
    (recovered plus tails) of 0.32% WO3.
    A total of eight percussion drill holes and five diamond
    cored drill holes were completed on Martin’s Lode during
    the period 1969 to 1970 by previous explorers. A summary of
    the reported drill hole details is provided in Table 1 below.
    Table 1 - Significant assays from historical drilling
    CSPH-1 30.5m @ 0.29 WO3% from 0-30.5m in
    (including 9.2 m @ 0.60%WO3 from 9.1-18.3m)
    CSPH-2 29.9m @ 0.39 WO3% from 0-29.9m
    CSPH-3 30.5m @ 0.33 WO3% from 0-30.5m
    CSPH-4 30.5m @ 0.26 WO3% from 0-30.5m
    CSPH-6 30.5m @ 0.48 WO3% from 0-30.5m
    CSDDH-1 29.0m @ 0.38 WO3% from 1.2-30.2m
    CSDDH-2 29.3m @ 0.40 WO3% from 1.2-30.5m
    (including 3.0m @ 1.77%WO3 from 5.8-8.8m)
    CSDDH-4 38.5m @ 0.35 WO3% from 9.1-47.6m (angled
    hole)
    The above weighted average assay intervals include the entire
    length of percussion drill holes (prefixed CSPH), all of which were
    terminated whilst still in significant mineralisation zones. A listing
    of drill holes completed around Martin’s Lode is set out in
    Appendix 1 and it should be noted that drill holes CSPH-5, CSPH-
    7, CSPH-8, DDHSC-5 and DDHSC-6 were drilled outside the
    mineralised lens and intercepted no significant tungsten.
    A second small bulk sample of 5.9 tonnes, together with
    additional drill hole material was subjected to metallurgical
    examination in 1970 and this showed by means of table
    concentration, magnetic separation, and flotation, that a final
    concentrate assaying at least 68.5% WO3 could potentially be
    obtained. Later that same year a pit design and feasibility study
    was completed on Martin’s Lode, based on the drilling results
    provided. The final conclusion reached in 1972 was that an
    improvement in the tungsten metal price is necessary before the
    Callie Soak deposit can be economically mined.
    Summary
    With the completion of due diligence and execution of the formal
    agreement, Hawk is now well placed to quickly advance
    exploration work on the Callie Soak project. The technical
    information from both the historical drilling completed around
    Martin’s Lode and the previous bulk sampling and metallurgical
    work undertaken, has provided significant encouragement for the
    Company to push forward aggressively and commence work as
    soon as the tenement is granted which is anticipated to be in
    2008.

    The above information includes all historical drill holes around
    Martin’s Lode. Drill hole type is P for percussion and D for
    diamond cored. Coordinates are on a local grid established in
    1969, with grid north orientated approximately northeast. The RL
    of the drill collars is based on an arbitrary elevation.
