Hawkeye Gold & Diamond Inc. said Oct. 11 that it struck a deal to acquire a 1,360-hectare property, contiguous to the eastern boundary of its McBride project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle region.

The property covers historical rock sampling with results of up to 8.78 g/t of gold on the claims and will increase the size of the McBride property to 3,995 hectares from 2,635 hectares.

As part of the deal, Hawkeye will pay C$3,000 and issue 100,000 shares. It will also issue a further 250,000 shares should the project proceed to a preliminary economic assessment.
