LAKE DRILLING UNDERWAY
• Lake Aircore drilling commences Kanowna East
• 2[nd] Aircore rig to commence shortly
Metal Hawk Limited ( ASX: MHK , “Metal Hawk” or “The Company”) is pleased to advise that aircore (AC) drilling has re-commenced at its flagship Kanowna East project, located 8 kilometres from Northern Star’s Kanowna Belle gold mine (+5 Moz Au). Metal Hawk is using a specialised track-mounted lake AC rig to test for new zones of gold mineralisation beneath the lake clays where no previous drilling has been carried out. The program will also follow-up strong gold anomalies recently returned at the Little Lake prospect.
Metal Hawk’s Managing Director Will Belbin commented: “We are very excited to have a rig out on the lake which has not seen any historical drilling. Our extensive systematic drilling continues to progress our understanding of the project geology at Kanowna East and define new gold targets for RC drill testing. We are very encouraged by results received to date.”

The lake AC program will complete Metal Hawk’s Stage 1 drilling campaign at Kanowna East. Stage-2 drilling is scheduled to commence shortly thereafter and will initially comprise 8,000m of additional AC drilling focused on the priority target zone north of Little Lake.
After the receipt and interpretation of final assay results from these programs, the Company intends to commence deeper Reverse Circulation drilling to test the bedrock for primary gold mineralisation beneath the anomalous zones that have been defined by the AC drilling.
