Golden Black Hawk / Dun Glen Update

As the property has passed from one group to another, exceptional research has been done to produce a consolidated analysis of the overall potential of Golden Black Hawk's holdings at Dun Glen. Future cash flows lay on the recovery of precious metals from the surface of the Auld Lang Syne, Black Hole, Monroe and our other 5 mine dumps. Cumulatively the three dumps examined contain approximately 50,000 tons of material and 100,000 tons total with inclusion of all 8.

Drilling commenced today based on Golden Black Hawk's earlier field review and evaluation. The previous results showed the surface grades and potential tonnage are significant enough to warrant analyzing the dumps in more detail and to extend the drilling to the remaining five dumps. The drill program will take approximately 2 to 3 days. Analysis of the samples will be available within 10 days to 2 weeks of completion. Testing will consist of conventional geochemical analysis as well as coarse gold analysis.

Blue Lithium Energy Inc. / Clayton Valley Update

Originally focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of a portfolio of strategic lithium properties in the United States and Canada, Black Hawk Exploration acquired a 56 claim, 1120 acres lease in the prolific lithium brine Clayton Valley Nevada, home to the only producing lithium brine mine in the U.S. The results of our initial exploration discovered over 450 feet of lithium brines but the numbers were less than economical at current prices. Plans for our continued exploration at Clayton Valley will be shared with you in early September, 2010.

Over the next 6 months management will maximize the growth of our lithium focus. Blue Lithium Energy is in the earliest stages of discussion and review of additional acquisitions and a potential lithium joint venture. BHWX is committed to a long term development of Blue Lithium Energy. Lithium is the future of efficient energy storage and we plan on being at the center of this growth industry.
