VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (TSX VENTURE: HGC)(WKN: A0M55U) and Cusac Gold Mines Ltd. ("Cusac") (TSX: CQC)(OTCBB: CUSIF)(FRANKFURT: DCB) announce the closing of the statutory plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") pursuant to which, among other things, Hawthorne acquired all of the outstanding common shares (the "Shareholders") and debentures (the "Debentureholders") of Cusac as more particularly described in the Cusac Information Circular dated February 13, 2008, available on www.sedar.com. Cusac is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Hawthorne and Hawthorne expects Cusac to be delisted from the TSX following the end of the April 16, 2008 trading session.

"We believe the merger provides a platform for near term gold production opportunities from the restart of the Table Mountain Mine and the upside potential of Hawthorne's combined portfolio of British Columbia gold exploration and development properties," said Richard Barclay, President and CEO of Hawthorne. "The Table Mountain gold mineralization is hosted in a greenstone quartz carbonate gold system that is typical of some of Canada's largest gold camps, including Timmins, Kirkland Lake and Val d'Or.

"The merger of Cusac and Hawthorne creates a strong, British Columbia based gold explorer and near term producer with a lot of promise," said Cusac CEO David H. Brett. "This successful business combination will help create the critical mass needed to drive shareholder value in this dynamic gold market."

Under the terms of the Arrangement, Shareholders of Cusac received one (1) common share of Hawthorne in exchange for each nineteen (19) Cusac common shares. In addition, for each two (2) dollars of principal and interest owed to each Cusac Debentureholder, Hawthorne issued one (1) Hawthorne common share. Hawthorne will be issuing approximately 6.15 million common shares to Cusac Shareholders and Debentureholders and will have approximately 22.5 million common shares issued and outstanding. Cusac stock options and warrants were also assumed by Hawthorne, using the effective nineteen (19) to one (1) ratio.

Hawthorne also welcomes the appointment of Cusac director Dale A. Sketchley to the Company's board of directors. Mr. Sketchley graduated with a B.Sc. Honours in Geology-Geophysics in 1975, followed by a M.Sc. in Economic Geology in 1986, both from the University of British Columbia. From 1973 to 1988, he conducted regional, property and mine site exploration programs in western Canada for Union Minie, Chevron, Denison, Erickson Gold, Cooke Geological, Minequest, and MPH. While at Erickson Gold, he gathered data for completion of his M.Sc. thesis research on carbonate alteration at the Table Mountain property, now owned by Hawthorne. Having joined Placer Dome in 1989, Mr. Sketchley dedicated nine years to geological evaluation of open pit and underground feasibility and mine site development studies in British Columbia and Ontario. From 1998 until 2002, he consulted for various mining companies, including Cusac, specializing in quality assurance and quality control ("QAQC"). Mr. Sketchley's work has encompassed all phases of exploration, including sampling and assaying QAQC, geological modelling and resource evaluation. Since 2002, he has been responsible for sampling and assaying QAQC at Ivanhoe Mines Mongolia's Oyu Tolgoi deposit.

Registered Shareholders of Cusac will be required to deposit their respective Cusac common share certificates along with a validly completed letter of transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal") in order to receive their Hawthorne common shares. Similarly, Cusac Debentureholders will be required to deposit their respective Letters of Transmittal in order to receive their Hawthorne common shares. Cusac mailed the Letters of Transmittal to the Cusac Shareholders and the Cusac Debentureholders on April 11, 2008 and April 10, 2008, respectively. Further details on the process of exchanging Cusac common shares and Cusac debentures for Hawthorne common shares are set forth in the Cusac Information Circular.
