Hawthorne Identifies High Grade Gold Zone at Taurus Deposit

(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 30, 2009 ) Vancouver, BC - Hawthorne Gold Corp. ("Hawthorne" or the "Company") (TSX-V: HGC, US: HWTHF) is pleased to announce drill results from the first four (4) holes of the Taurus zone drill program, which consisted of eight (8) NTW diamond drill holes totaling 409.49 metres. The goal of the Taurus zone drilling is to delineate a small-tonnage, higher grade near-surface gold zone in excess of 3.5 g/t Au, amenable to open pit mining. Once the zone is defined, the mineralized material could potentially be used as mill feed at the permitted Cassiar Gold Mine when production commences. The Taurus Deposit currently contains a National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 Mineral Inferred Resource Estimate* of 1.06 million ounces of gold (33.06 million tonnes grading 1.00 g/t Au).

Recent drill results are confirming that higher grade zones, mineable by open pit method, may exist within the Taurus Deposit. Combined with historical drill information, drill results are enhancing the quality of the data set and have demonstrated higher grades than anticipated. Mineralized zones comprise sheeted quartz veins hosted within carbonate altered basalt. Multiple parallel high grade veins occur within these zones. These individual zones extend from surface to depths in areas of the deposit in excess of 150 metres and have been traced for approximately 700 metres along strike. The Company is planning to extract a 10,000-tonne bulk sample this summer from one of these zones.

"Results to-date from our Phase I drill program have exceeded our expectations and have identified very promising grades close to surface. Based on the positive results, our exploration program in the Cassiar Gold Camp is focusing on Taurus during the month of August," commented Richard Barclay, President and CEO of Hawthorne.

Of interest, Hole No. TA09-004 intersected 1.12 metres averaging 20.6 g/t Au and indicates that higher grade zones exist at depth, which historically have been more typical over at the Table Mountain area, such as the grades seen in the East Bain Zone. The historical underground Sable Adit mine workings, developed in the 1980s, are proximal to the reported drillholes (see drill plan map at http://www.hawthornegold.com/s/Taurus.asp). The Company is reviewing these workings to potentially provide additional access to the deeper high grade mineralization.

Further assays from the remaining four holes have been received from the lab and are currently being reviewed with results expected to be announced shortly. Following logging of drill core, split core samples were collected and shipped to the primary assay lab ALS Minerals (formerly ALS Chemex) of North Vancouver, BC. Check assays are sent to EcoTech Laboratory (Stewart Group) of Kamloops, BC. Hawthorne's Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) program comprises inserting Standard Reference Materials, preparation duplicates as well as secondary lab check assays.

Michael Petrina, P.Eng., the Company's Vice President of Mining and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure contained in this news release.
