ACQUISITION OF THE HISTORICAL KING SOLOMON MINE ADJOINING THE LONE PINE GOLD PROJECT
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Hawkstone has signed an Option Agreement to acquire the historical King Solomon Mine (KSM) from Jervois Mining Ltd
-
The proposed acquisition consolidates the Company’s land holding in the Lone Pine area, Idaho, USA
-
KSM was explored during the early 1900’s via 3 adits (no production numbers are available)
-
Exploration work to date indicates the existence of broad northeast trending, southeast dipping mineralised zone parallel to the Lone Pine Vein Zone
-
In the 1990’s 18 reverse circulation exploration drill holes intersected:
-
1.5 m @ 14.9 g/t Au
-
1.5 m @ 14.8 g/t Au
-
18.0 m @ 3.75 g/t Au
-
18.0 m @ 2.3 g/t Au
-
1.5 m @ 3.9 g/t Au
-
A recently completed photogeological and structural interpretation of the Lone Pine Project highlighted two drill targets within the KSM claims, one of which corresponds to the area of drilling, enhancing the prospectivity of the remaining drill targets
-
Due diligence has commenced which will include mapping and sampling to follow up on the previous high grade surface samples reported at KSM
-
Drilling at the Lone Pine Project is underway with assay results to be reported as they become available
Hawkstone Mining Limited ( ASX:HWK ) (“ Hawkstone” or the “Company” ) is pleased to announce it has signed an option to acquire the adjoining historical King Solomon Mine ( KSM ) from Jervois Mining Ltd. Located 900m southeast of the Lone Pine vein zone, the KSM acquisition will consolidate the Company’s land position and build the exploration potential of the Lone Pine Project.
The proposed acquisition brings with it significant historical data including the results of previous drilling, mapping and sampling. Ongoing compilation of the data has demonstrated the significant potential of the area and its importance in the overall prospectivity of the Lone Pine Project.

`
Hawkstone Mining Managing Director, Paul Lloyd, commented: “ The proposed Acquisition of the King Solomon Mine from Jervois Mining Ltd increases the Company’s holding of known mineralisation at the Lone Pine Project in Idaho, USA. The ongoing compilation of available data has demonstrated the significance of the acquisition for the Lone Pine Project and suggests that both the Lone Pine and King Solomon mineralised zones may be part of a larger system, which we aim to explore further in the near term . ”
LONE PINE GOLD PROJECT
Location and Access
The Lone Pine Gold Project is located approximately 10km west of Salmon, Idaho, USA and consists of 2 patented claims 16.77 ha (Figures 1 & 2) surrounded by a further 75 BLM lode claims covering 607 Ha.

Geology
The Lone Pine Gold Project contains precious metal occurrences related to the Trans-Challis Fault System that has produced more gold than any other area in Idaho.
Gold mineralisation in the Lone Pine vein zone is hosted by quartz in a northeast-trending steeply 80[o] north-west dipping shear in a granite. The quartz vein zone has been traced by adits and trenches for 480m and has been traced down dip via adits for up to 150m. The mineralisation is open to both the NE and SW as well as down dip (Figures 2, 3 & 4).
At the entrance to Adit # 5 the vein zone averaged 14.46 g/t Au over 2.6 metres representing the weighted average of 5 samples. High grade, select float samples from the vein have returned assays up to 45.67 g/t Au / 20.75 g/t Ag .[1]
Previously reported historic resource calculations have estimated a non JORC resource of 71,178 oz Au[1] .

KING SOLOMON MINE
History
The King Solomon Mine lies to the southeast of the Lone Pine vein zone, with both areas sharing a similar history, with King Solomon being explored during the early 1900’s via 3 adits, the East, West and Northeast (Figure 5).
In 1988, Frontier Capital acquired the King Solomon Mine as part of a regional portfolio before exploring in the area in 1992. This exploration was undertaken with their joint venture partners, initially Teck Resources Inc in 1990 followed by Pathfinder Gold Corporation in 1992. Trenching, underground and surface mapping and sampling in conjunction with drilling were completed. This work indicates the existence of broad northeast trending, southeast dipping mineralised zone parallel to the Lone Pine Vein Zone.
In addition, numerous phases of soil geochemistry and geophysics including VLF 2 and magnetics were completed.

Drilling
Two phases of drilling were completed at the King Solomon Mine in the early 1990’s. The initial drill holes (KS-90 series) were orientated to intersect a NW mineralized trend, whereas the 1992 drill holes (KS-92 series) were oriented to test north-east striking mineralised zone (Figures 5, 6, 7 & 8).
The original drill logs and assay sheets are available for the KS90 series holes, however results for the KS92 series holes have been taken from various reports and drill sections. Drill location coordinates have been generated from drill plans (Table 2) and both phases of drilling were completed using a Reverse Circulation (RC) drill rig and sampled on 5ft (1.5m) intervals. No mention is made of sampling procedures, the presence of water or sample weights.

Underground Mapping and Sampling
The East and West adits at KSM were opened by Pathfinder Gold Corporation ( PGC ) to allow underground mapping and sampling. The Northeast Adit was unrecoverable, however this work defined a northeast trending vein zone and led to the alignment of the KS92 series holes to intersect this trend.
The underground mapping defined a broad northeast trending vein zone that dips at 65[o] to the southeast. Channel sampling was completed every 6.1m along the northeast trending strike drives and chip sampling every 3m in the northwest trending drives cross cutting the veins. The strike drive in the West adit contained results from 0.28 to 10 g/t Au averaging 2.37 g/t Au over 62m (stated to be a weighted average). The assays completed suggested that coarse gold might be present and preliminary results from screen fire assays on 8 samples in this adit were stated to demonstrate a 75% grade increase. Sampling on the West adit cross cut defined two zones 12.19m @ 0.87 g/t Au and 3m @ 0.40 g/t Au[3] .
The East adit, that cross cut the veined zone, returned two zones; 15.24m @ 0.68 g/t Au from 21.34 – 36.58m and 35.05m @ 0.44 g/t Au from 97.54 – 132.59m[4] .
Conclusions from Historical Exploration
-
The King Solomon mineralisation is hosted in a broad northeast trending altered and quartz veined zone interpreted to dip at approximately 65[o] to the southeast.
-
The mineralisation is hosted in a quartz monzonite intrusive exhibiting all the zonational characteristics of a porphyry system with a secondary late stage shear overprint.
-
The 1994 Nesbit report stated that the fracturing is interpreted to become intense to the northwest towards the Lone Pine vein zone.

`
-
The same report observed that the drilling KS90 and 92 series holes were completed on the weakest of several geophysical and soil geochemical anomalies due to easy access. The report recommended testing of the stronger geophysical and geochemical anomalies lying northwest toward the Lone Pine vein zone. Prospects and trenching in this area are stated to have returned up to 249 g/t Au.
-
PGC also identified areas to the southwest along strike on the Lone Pine vein zone where samples from small dumps and outcrops returned results up to 62 g/t Au.
-
Both Nesbit and PGC recommended diamond drilling for future programs.
Photogeological Interpretation
The Company engaged independent consultant Dr Richard Russell to complete a photogeological interpretation on the Lone Pine Gold Project using detailed composite satellite images (Figure 5).
This interpretation, completed prior to the acquisition of the historical KSM data supplied by Jervois Mining Ltd, has been extremely valuable in the overall understanding of the geology and has produced 9 target areas that will require geological followup and sampling. Two of the drill targets, T4a and T4b, lie within the KSM claims clearly demonstrating the value of the interpretation and provide considerable confidence for the other targets.
The 9 targets are as follows:
T1 - There appears to be what may be a small outcropping NE trending shear.
T2a - A possible reverse/thrust fault intersects with the mineralised shear immediately NE of the mined area. Light coloured alteration in the cliff on the breakaway may mark the position of the fault.
T2b - A possible N-S trending structure intersecting the Lone Pine trend near the granite gneiss/quartzite contact.
T2c - Lineations in the granite gneiss indicating possible extension faults.
T2d - Lineations on-trend with the Lone Pine shear in the quartzites on the right bank tributary of Wallace Creek.
T3a - Mineralised shear potentially extends SW into a zone of NW trending right lateral faulting in the quartzites.
T3b - A small ridge of quartzite extends for about 100m on-trend with the Lone Pine shear. Possible saprolitic weathering products are shedding from breakaways immediately to the west of the ridge. Historical sampling in this general area has returned values up to 62 g/t Au.
T4a - A circular topographically low zone with a diameter of about 500 metres could represent a relatively easily weathered alteration zone in the quartzites. It lies predominantly within the King Solomon claims and contains the area of the historical KS series drilling.
T4b - Lying predominantly within the King Solomon claims this target contains northeast trending lineations occurring on the northwest flank of the topographic low parallel the Lone Pine quartz vein zone. Limited drill and underground data recently acquired from Jervois Mining Ltd demonstrate the presence of a northeast trending, possibly southeast dipping (-60[0] ) vein zone paralleling and to the south of this trend.

`
This interpretation is in agreement with the observations of Nisbet, 1994 where he stated that the the fracturing is interpreted to become more intense to the northwest.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limitingthe broad meaningof sampling. |
All sampling was undertaken by previous operators. While results of previous sampling programs have been documented in numerous formal (historical) reports, the details of sampling and assay procedures is not recorded in these reports, hence is currently unknown. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of anymeasurement tools or systems used. |
No measures documented. | |
| Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
The historical results are considered indicative of the presence of mineralisation. The drill samples from the KS90 series drill program were taken from 1.5m of RC drill cuttings from which and unknown amount was pulverised to produce a charge for fire assay. Coarse gold was noted and mentioned in the reports but there is only one mention of screen fire assaying on the adit samples. |

Section 2: Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. |
The Lone Pine Gold Project consists of 2 Patented mining claims and 75 BLM claims covering 20 acres each located on Bureau of Land Management Federally administered land. All indigenous title is cleared and there are no other known historical or environmentally sensitive areas. |
| The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
The claims have been granted and are subject to an annual payment. Other than the payment there is no requirement for minimum exploration or reporting. There is no expiry date on the claims. |
|
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. | Limited old workings, circa early 1900’s, are present at the Lone Pine Project. |
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The mineralisation is hosted in altered and quartz veined shear/fault zones within quartzite and granite. |
| Drill hole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: easting and northing of the drill hole collar elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar dip and azimuth of the hole down hole length and interception depth hole length. |
All available historical information as listed is provided in the preceding tables. |
| If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
No information has been excluded. | |
| Data aggregation methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. |
Weighted averages have been reportedly used for the drill holes and the adit sampling. |
Ground Floor, 24 Outram Street, West Perth WA 6005
`
| Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths of low-grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. |
No aggregate intercepts are known in the historical data. | |
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
No metal equivalent values are stated. | |
| Relationship between mineralization widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. If the geometry of the mineralization with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. |
Where thicknesses are stated from the historical drilling and sampling the intercepts reflect the downhole extent of the historical intercept. If the mineralisation dips as historically interpreted the reported width would be the true width. |
| If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
If the mineralisation dips as historically interpreted the reported width would be the true width. |
|
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported. These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
Appropriate maps are included. |
| Balanced reporting |
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
This release is a compilation and presentation of available historical data. All available data has been reported. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
Geophysical surveys have historically reported but no data is available on these surveys. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). |
Geological mapping of the project area incorporating the King Solomon Mine will be undertaken. This will include the sampling of all existing exploration pits and trenches as well as targets identified by the photogeological mapping. |
| Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
Included diagrams contain the identified target areas and previous announcements detail the drilling planned for the Lone Pine vein zone. |
