The results below are discussed in greater detail in the Company’s2013 PEA. A PEA is preliminary in nature, it includes inferred
mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would
enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves and there is no certainty that a PEA will be realized.

Arizona is copper country; Copper Creek is 1 of 15 major porphyry copper centers
Arizona is mining friendly and has a rich copper mining history, and is socio‐economic stable
Mill and smelter within 30 miles, molybdenum roaster within 100 miles
Infrastructure includes rail, roads, water, power, services and consultants
Many mines in area have grown and remain economic after 50+ years of operation
New discoveries are still being made in Arizona
Copper Creek Project Location

TSX: RDK OTCQX: RHWKFTSX: RDK OTCQX: RHWKF
Over 32 square miles of property under control
District consolidation now complete
Current resource located within original 7 sq. miles of claims
Only 5% of total property adequately explored
Substantial potential for expansion of existing resource and in consolidated district

Copper Creek is an “early halo” type copper porphyry system
Early halo type deposits are frequently recognized in major copper districts worldwide
“Early halo” copper porphyry deposits tend to be large and high‐grade systems, including:
Butte, Montana, USALos Pelambres, ChileChuquicamata, ChileHaquira deposit, PeruAnn Mason & Bear deposits, Nevada, USALomas Bayas deposit, ChilePyramid deposit, Alaska, USA
Early Halo Porphyry Copper Systems

TSX: RDK OTCQX: RHWKFTSX: RDK OTCQX: RHWKF
First identified by Redhawk geologists in 2010
Copper Creek hosts multiple “early halo”mineralizing events
Quantitative core‐logging and mapping of “early halo” veins has led to a new understanding of ore control and district‐wide distribution
This understanding has led to new, better defined drilling targets for resource expansion

Current Focus
15
TSX: RDK OTCQX: RHWKFTSX: RDK OTCQX: RHWKF
Results of Open Pit vs. Underground tradeoff study prompted decision to proceed with larger (25,000 tpd) underground mine
Due to lower capital costs, less development time, and shorter time to production and Positive NPV for underground operation more likely
Will pursue a balanced exploration approach with emphasis on expanding known resource and assessing a number of potentially high reward targets
Prioritize expansion targets and new discovery targets
Plan exploration program to maximize value added with resources available
Proceed with November 2013 district drill plan in the Prospect and Dark Canyon area.

DISCLAIMER
Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward Looking Information
Certain statements in this presentation constitute forward‐looking statements, within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward‐looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to commercial mining operations, anticipated mineral recoveries, projected quantities of future mineral production, interpretation of drill results, completion of the pre‐feasibility study and conversion of mineral resources to proven and probable mineral reserves, analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management. Statements concerning mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward‐looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed, and in the case of mineral resources, such statements reflect the conclusion based on certain assumptions that the mineral deposit can be economically exploited. These statements speak only as of the date specified. Redhawk Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward‐looking statements except as required by law. These forward‐looking statements involve risks and uncertainties relating to, among other things, results of exploration and development activities, the Company’s historical experience with development‐stage mining operations, uninsured risks, regulatory changes, defects in title, availability of materials and equipment, timeliness of government approvals and the granting of permits, changes in commodity prices and, particularly, copper prices, actual operating and financial performance of facilities, equipment and processes relative to specifications and expectations and unanticipated environmental impacts on operations. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward‐looking statements.
Cautionary Notes to U.S. Persons Concerning Resource Estimates
Technical information contained in this presentation has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of the U.S. securities laws. All resource estimates have been prepared in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy Classification System (CIM). The terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in CIM; however, these terms are not defined terms under United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7 and normally are not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Readers are further cautioned that “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. Under Canadian rules, estimates of “inferred mineral resources” may not form the basis of feasibility or pre‐feasibility studies, except in rare cases.
The technical information contained in this presentation has been approved by R. Joe Sandberg, a “qualified person” within the meaning of CIM. Mr. Sandberg is the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
