Redhawk Resources Announces Results of Exploration Drilling and 2011 Resource Expansion Drilling at Copper Creek Project

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 12, 2011) - Redhawk Resources, Inc. (TSX:RDK)(OTCQX:RHWKF)(FRANKFURT:QF7) ("Redhawk" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results from the last hole of the 2010 district exploration holes at Copper Creek and results of an additional exploration drill hole drilled from the same site. Results are also presented for three drill holes of the 2011 resource expansion and definition program. (See attached map for drill hole locations.)

District Exploration holes

Drill hole REX-10-047, the last of the 2010 district exploration holes, was completed with core to a depth of 4007 feet (1221m). The hole is located approximately1550 feet (472m) west of the Keel resource boundary. The vertical hole drifted to the northwest making the mineralized intervals approximately 1650 feet west of the Keel (503m). The core drill hole intercepted several zones of strong continuous porphyry style mineralization from 1,920 feet to 3,852 feet (~585 to ~1,174m). Due to the significant visual mineralization in REX-10-047, a second hole REX-11-052 was drilled from the same site and directed N30E -83 degrees to a total depth of 4,128 feet (1258m). REX-11-052 encountered porphyry style mineralization for a distance of 1,743 feet (531m) from 1994 to 3737 feet (608-1139m). Significant intervals for REX-10-047 and REX-11-052 are listed below. A third hole from the same site, REX-11-053 was drilled N70E -83 degrees to a total depth of 3967 feet (1209m). Assays are pending for REX-11-053. True width has not yet been established for the results contained within this press release.

Redhawk believes the drilling results from the three holes drilled from the REX-10-047 site suggest the strong possibility of an area that can be developed into a new resource or possibly be connected across a distance of approximately 500m with the Keel and American Eagle (AE) porphyry resources with additional drilling. The additional drilling will be considered after the resource expansion and upgrade drilling in the 2011 drill program (discussed below) is completed.

2011 Resource Expansion and Upgrade Drill Program

The 2011 drill program has been expanded from 60,000 feet to approximately 100,000 feet (30,480m) and focuses on increasing the connection between the Keel and AE areas and infill drilling to move a considerable portion of the AE resource and more of the Keel resource into the indicated and measured categories in preparation for a Pre-Feasibility study slated for early in 2012. Results from the first hole in the 2011 program, RAE-07-016 were given in a news release dated June 1, 2011. Since that release six additional drill holes have been completed, three core drill holes are in progress, one rotary pre-collar hole completed, and one rotary pre-collar hole is in progress. Assay results for three of the completed holes, RAE-07-017 total depth 3916 feet (1194m), RAE-07-018 total depth 4126 feet (1258m), and RAE-07-019 total depth 4137 feet (1261m) have been received and significant intervals are shown below. Holes RAE-07-017 and RAE-07-018 were step out holes designed to increase the connection of the Keel and AE deposits and hole RAE-07-019 is a infill resource upgrade hole.

Redhawk believes the results from holes RAE-07-016 (reported previously), RAE-07-017, RAE-07-018, and RAE-07-019 will help not only in demonstrating the continuity of mineralization between the Keel and AE but should also increase the total resources of the combined deposits.

R. Joe Sandberg, Redhawk President and CEO, stated, "We believe the area of high potential for discovery of additional porphyry copper/molybdenum deposits within our property holdings is now at least 5 km by 3 km and the three drill holes nearly 0.5 km west of known resources support that possibility. The resource upgrade and expansion drilling between the Keel and AE deposits is very encouraging and in accordance with our expectations. We are proceeding as planned with our resource expansion and upgrades, additional permitting, hydrology, metallurgical and mine optimization efforts to prepare for the Pre-Feasibility Study in early 2012. The outcome of these efforts will continue to increase the confidence level in our Copper Creek project."
