Drilling Discontinued at Eberts Prospect

Toronto, July 08, 2008 - Hawk Uranium Inc. (TSX Venture Exchange: HUI.V) (FRANKFURT: HPM) ("Hawk") is pleased to announce that it has completed field exploration, including line cutting, geologic mapping, rock chip sampling and a ground Magnetic Survey, on its wholly-owned Holdsworth Gold Property in the Hawk Junction – Wawa Area of Northern Ontario.� � �  Based on the results, Hawk has contracted with Orbit-Garant Drilling Inc. (Val-D’Or, Quebec) to mobilize a Diamond drill rig onto the property. The Holdsworth Property consists of 19 contiguous patented mining claims (304 hectares) in the Corbiere and Esquega Townships, Ontario.

A total of 68 grab samples were collected and have been sent to SGS, Don Mills, Ontario for Gold and Silver fire assay analysis and an additional 111 quartz vein samples sent to Actlabs, Thunder Bay, Ontario for Metallic Sieve Gold Analysis plus a 37 element Aqua Regia Extraction – ICP/OES analysis that includes Silver, Arsenic, Antimony and Mercury. � � Results are pending.

� 

A 2500m drill program is planned to test the Soocana Vein System that was previously drilled by Soocana Mining Company in 1931, by Falconbridge in 1985 and Reed Lake Exploration in 1988. (See previous press release of May 14, 2008.) The Orbit-Garant drill rig is capable of drilling to a depth of 450m using NQ size core.

� 

The Holdsworth Property has the potential to host Gold and Silver mineralization within three (3) distinct geological environments namely (1) lode gold in traditional quartz veins – “The Soocana Vein” (2) an oxidized cap at surface developed over a massive pyrite zone (Algoma Iron Formation) – “The Black Sands” and (3) the precursor to the black sands - a massive pyrite zone (Algoma Iron Formation) at depths – “The Massive Sulphide”. All three Gold & Silver prospects occur within Archean aged mafic to intermediate metavolcanic rocks of the Michipicoten Greenstone Belt.

Eberts Prospect

� 

A test oil well was drilled on the Company’s 40% working interest on the Eberts Prospect in Kent County Ontario to a depth of 523 feet to test the Devonian Formation. � The zone identified by earlier seismic and well control proved to be water laden and as a result the prospect has been abandoned.
