Black Hawk Exploration Selects Vista Partners to Head Shareholder Communications

FOX ISLAND, Wash., Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Black Hawk Exploration Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BHWX, "the Company"), a diversified metals and energy exploration company, announced today that it has selected Vista Partners LLC to head shareholder communications.

With offices in California and Oregon, Vista Partners LLC is one of the fastest growing independently owned equity research and consulting firms in the United States. Vista's professional staff has backgrounds in finance, corporate communications and investment banking. Vista has built a name for itself in the small cap space due to its selection of profitable investment recommendations. Ross Silver, CEO of Vista Partners, stated, "Interest and demand in lithium has increased significantly, driven by the increased importance and production of lithium-ion batteries as the next generation power source. The Company's Clayton Valley mining property could be a significant source of lithium brine and we are encouraged by the fact that the property is adjacent to the Chemetall-Foote Clayton Valley mine which has been producing lithium for over 50 years."  Mr. Silver continued, "In addition, the Dun Glen Property is a promising opportunity for Black Hawk and its wholly owned gold and silver exploration subsidiary, Golden Black Hawk.  Considering where gold prices are today, above $1,000 per ounce and rising, and the Dun Glen area's 150 year history of gold production, Golden Black Hawk's mineral holdings could produce significant revenues for the Company in the future."

Kevin Murphy, CEO & Chairman of BHWX stated, "We are pleased to be partnering with Vista in our shareholder communications efforts. We believe Vista's relationships with and insights into the capital markets will be beneficial to us as we enhance our outreach to the investment community. As our business continues to grow, we look forward to working closely with Vista to ensure that we are effectively communicating Black Hawk's strategy, milestones, and successes to the proper Wall Street audience in order to maximize shareholder value."
