West Hawk Creditors Approve Settlement Agreements With Fuselier

West Hawk Development Corp. ("West Hawk") (TSX VENTURE:WHD)(FRANKFURT:H5N) (the
"Company") is pleased to announce that Fuselier Holding, LLC, of Richardson,
Texas ("Fuselier") has successfully reached agreements with all of the creditors
who either held a lien, or who had filed an action against West Hawk related to
the trade debt on its Figure Four property in the Piceance Basin.


Last week, Fuselier's legal counsel, Gretchen VanderWerf of VanderWerf PC in
Denver, CO, submitted Settlement Agreements to all of the above creditors of
West Hawk. After reviewing the Settlement Agreements, all of the creditors are
pleased to have a plan in place which provides for the payment of the debt owed
by the Company. The Settlement Agreements received landslide approval, and has
removed one of the last roadblocks, allowing West Hawk to comply with the terms
and provisions of the Drilling & Development Agreement for the Figure Four
Project.


"As a result of the collaborative team effort by all parties involved, we were
able to move beyond the "hard rock" on specific terms and reach agreements with
more than 25 creditors in less than a month. This has been a "breakthrough" for
West Hawk, and Fuselier is extremely pleased at the successful outcome. Reaching
these agreements in such a short period of time represents a significant event.
I want to express my personal gratitude and appreciation for everyone's tireless
efforts in quickly and successfully resolving all of the outstanding payment
issues," stated Dr. Jean R. Fuselier Sr., President & CEO of Fuselier Holding,
LLC.


Roger Baer, CFO of West Hawk, stated, "We are very pleased that our creditors
have reached agreement with Fuselier. The process has allowed the Company to
focus on final completion efforts at Figure Four, as well as our coal project
development plans announced earlier this week."
