HGC Hawthorne Gold Corp.

Hawthorne Gold Corp. ("Hawthorne" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:HGC)(PINK
SHEETS:HWTHF) is pleased to announce that it has closed the non-brokered private
placement of Special Warrants (the "Offering") disclosed in Hawthorne's news
releases of February 4th and March 15th (copies of which are available at
www.sedar.com).


On closing, the Company issued 14,308,801 Special Warrants to China Mineral
Holdings Limited (the "Investor") at $0.29 per Special Warrant for gross
proceeds of $4,149,552. Each Special Warrant entitles the Investor to receive,
upon the exercise of a Special Warrant, and without payment of additional
consideration, a unit (a "Unit") consisting of one common share of the Company
(a "Share") and one half of one transferable common share purchase warrant (a
"Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle the Investor to purchase, upon
exercise of a Warrant, one common share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at a
price of $0.39 per Warrant Share, for a period of 18 months from closing of the
Offering.


Each Special Warrant is exercisable into a Unit for a period of six months from
closing of the Offering (the "Redemption Date"). If the Investor does not elect
to exercise all or a portion of the Special Warrants into Units on or before the
Redemption Date, the Special Warrants will be deemed to have been exercised by
the Investor and automatically converted by the Company into Units without
further action by the Investor or payment of additional consideration.


Pursuant to the terms of the Offering, the Company is required to allocate up to
$2,172,000 of the subscription proceeds from the Special Warrants for strategic
initiatives approved by the Company's Board of Directors. Failing to enter into
certain approved strategic initiatives on or before the end of the Redemption
Date will require the Company to issue to the Investor, without payment of
additional consideration, common shares of the Company equal to 10% of the
number of Special Warrants held by the Investor on such date.


In connection with the Offering, the Investor will be permitted to appoint two
directors to the Company's Board of Directors and one member to the Company's
executive committee (the "Executive Committee"). The Company expects to form the
Executive Committee promptly following completion of the offering and such
committee is expected to consist of three members which will advise the
Company's Board of Directors with respect to Hawthorne's strategic direction.
Such appointments are subject to (i) the approval of the Company, acting
reasonably and (ii) applicable regulatory approval including the TSX Venture
Exchange (the "TSX-V").


The Offering resulted in the Investor holding approximately 15% of the Company's
current issued and outstanding share capital. It is a term of the special
warrants (and the securities underlying the Special Warrants), that the
subscriber will not be able to exercise the same to acquire direction or control
over that number of voting securities of the Company which is equal to 20% or
more of the voting securities of the Company.


The Company paid a finder's fee (the "Finder's Fee") in connection with the
introduction of the Investor to the Company in the amount of 7% of the gross
proceeds raised, payable in cash and shares, along with the issuance of warrants
equal to 3% of the Special Warrants issued. The Company satisfied the Finder's
Fee by (1) paying the finder a cash fee of $120,000 (2) issuing the finder
589,922 common shares at a deemed price of $0.29 per common share and (3)
issuing to the finder 430,164 warrants (the "Finder's Warrants"). Each Finder's
Warrant entitles the finder to purchase, upon exercise of a Finder's Warrant,
one common share of the Company (a "Finder's Warrant Share") at a price of $0.50
per Finder's Warrant Share, for a period of 12 months from closing of the
Offering.


The securities issued under the Offering were distributed by way of exemptions
from prospectus and dealer registration requirements and are subject to a
statutory hold period of four months plus a day expiring on August 27, 2010. The
net proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund strategic corporate
initiatives and for general corporate working capital.
