Hawkmoon Resources Corp (CSE:HM, OTCQB:HWKRF) has thanked Thomas Clarke, the company’s vice president of exploration, for his ongoing efforts and noted that without a “talented geologist” like Clarke, Hawkmoon Resources “could not exist.”
It noted that Clarke’s recent discovery at hole HMW 21-28 of 83.6 grams per tonne (g/t) gold has provided the Vancouver, British Columbia-based company with an exciting starting point for up-and-coming drill programs in 2022.
The company described Clarke, as a “true explorationist,” who instead of only working and drilling within the known zones of the Wilson project in Quebec, chose to explore 50 metres (m) south of all previously known gold mineralization at Midrim and was rewarded with a new discovery.

As a result, Hawkmoon has received the highest gold grade on the Wilson property for Hawkmoon’s 2021 drill program, said the company.
Clarke has had previous success in Quebec. While a director of Bonterra Resources, he coordinated all exploration which led to the definition of the first NI 43-101 compliant gold resource on the Gladiator deposit by Snowden. Today, the Gladiator deposit has been expanded to having indicated resources of 1,413,000 metric tons (t) at 8.61 g/t for 391,000 ounces gold and inferred resources are 4,174,000 t at 7.37 g/t for 989,000 ounces gold.
Clarke is an entrepreneur and registered geologist who holds a Master of Science degree from the University of the Witwatersrand, which he obtained while studying as an international student in Johannesburg, South Africa. He has worked on gold, platinum group metals, copper and energy projects.
He has 18 years of experience as a successful geologist and has been a director of public companies continually since May of 2010.
Hawkmoon is focused entirely on its three Quebec gold projects. Two of these projects are in one of the world’s largest gold endowed areas, the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The third project is in the Belleterre Gold Camp southwest of Val-d’Or.
