Hawthorne Gold Corp. ("Hawthorne" or the "Company") (TSX-V: HGC, US: HWTHF) is pleased to announce further drill results from the Phase I Diamond drill program, which consisted of eight (8) NTW Diamond drill holes totaling 409.49 metres within the Taurus gold zone. Initial results from the Phase I drill program have achieved our goal of identifying a high grade mineralized gold zone near surface within the Taurus Deposit*. Further drill results have also confirmed the presence of a high grade gold zone at depth and subsequently the vein systems have been traced to surface through a recent trenching program."Our exploration team continues to make significant progress on the trenching and drilling program at Taurus. The gold zones continue to deliver grades above our goal of 3.5 g/t Au close to surface," commented Richard Barclay, President and CEO of Hawthorne.
