| |  The wholly-owned Table Mountain gold mine is a high-grade, underground mining operation located in northern British Columbia. The historic Cassiar Gold Belt is a 23 kilometre long greenstone hosted quartz carbonate formation that stretches from Mount McDame in the north to Juniper Mountain in the southeast. The historic mining operations and McDame River have produced close to 500,000 ounces of gold from various mills and placer operations. Numerous small mines processed high-grade ore starting in 1934. This was followed in 1978 by larger-scale underground mining and processing, first as the Erickson gold mine, then the Cusac gold mine. During this period, mine operators opened 13 portals to access Table Mountain's widespread gold mineralization. The operation and support facilities at the Cassiar Gold Mine, which shut down in October 2007, and consists of a fully permitted 270 tonne per day, gravity and flotation mill, power plant, assay laboratory and tailings impoundment facility. Gold mineralization at Table Mountain is hosted in a greenstone quartz carbonate gold system that is typical of some of Canada's largest gold camps, including Timmins, Kirkland Lake and Val d'Or. Hawthorne plans to undertake a geological reconnaissance and drilling programs in 2009 with the goal of working towards gold production in Q4 2009 / Q1 2010. 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 information.
