	September 20, 2007 Hawthorne Completes Airborne Geophysics Program on the Frasergold Property
	Hawthorne Gold Corp. ("Hawthorne" or the "Company") -- TSX-V: HGC is pleased to announce the completion of the 1,300 line-kilometer Airborne Geophysical program on its optioned mineral claims in the Cariboo Gold District. Hawthorne contracted Aeroquest International Limited of Mississauga, Ontario to complete a property wide airborne survey utilizing the proprietary AeroTEM II airborne survey system that includes magnetic, electromagnetic and radiometric instruments. The survey data sets will be used by the Company to outline major geologic units and map structures within these units. The resulting interpretations will guide future drilling and resource expansion activities. The airborne survey was carried out on the Frasergold property (2,866 hectares) optioned from Eureka Resources Inc. (TSX-V: EUK), the adjoining property (7,930 hectares) optioned from Dajin Resources Corp (TSX-V: DJI) and the optioned Eureka Peak claim (296 hectares) from local prospector Bob Bourdon. Historic exploration work has outlined a 10 kilometer long mineralized zone that remains open along strike and down dip. The Company's goal is to identify sufficient resources to outline a large open pittable gold deposit. The historic resource of approximately 363,000 ounces of gold, consisting of 6,612,675 tons of mineralized material at an average grade of 0.055 ounces of gold per ton, was calculated using only the higher grade portion of the deposit. The historic resource calculation was not conducted according to current CIM standards and is not compliant with NI 43-101. The calculation is not to be relied upon for evaluating the Frasergold Property and is presented for historic purposes only. Ms. Sheri Burt, P.Geo., a Qualified Person under NI 43-101, has approved the technical content of this News Release.
