VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 10/25/13 -- Redhawk Resources, Inc. ("Redhawk" or the "Company") (TSX: RDK)(OTCQX: RHWKF)(FRANKFURT: QF7) announces that, as a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, the Company is issuing the following news release to clarify its disclosure.
Use of Cautionary Statements
On the Company's website, investor materials, certain news releases and other disclosure, the Company has referred to the results of a preliminary economic assessment (a "PEA") without including the prominent cautionary statements required by National Instrument 43-101- Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). The disclosure which did not have the required cautionary statements includes the following:
-- the Company's April 12, 2010 news release disclosing results of a
technical report entitled "Redhawk Copper, Inc. - Copper Creek Project
2,500 - 10,000 tpd Scoping Study" (the "2010 PEA");
-- the Company's June 25, 2013 news release disclosing results of a
technical report titled "Copper Creek Project, Preliminary Economic
Assessment, 25,000 TPD Mill with an Underground Mine for Development of
the Copper Creek Resource" (the "2013 PEA");
-- the Company's September 2013 corporate presentation titled "Large
Porphyry Copper System, Copper Creek, Arizona" (the "Corporate
Presentation") posted on the Company's corporate website;
-- the Copper Creek Project page on the Company's corporate website; and
-- the 2013 PEA.
The Company has removed the Corporate Presentation from its corporate website and will revise its Copper Creek Project page on its corporate website to include the necessary cautionary statements. The Company would like to retract and restate all of the above disclosure to clarify that: (i) a PEA is preliminary in nature, that it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves and that there is no certainty that a PEA will be realized; and (ii) mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Amended 2013 PEA
The Company is in the process of amending the 2013 PEA to include the cautionary statements required by NI 43-101 and address certain technical deficiencies identified by the British Columbia Securities Commission. The Company anticipates filing the amended 2013 PEA on SEDAR on or before November 1, 2013. The amendments will not in any way change the financial models or conclusions in the 2013 PEA.
