THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT
INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN
THE UNITED STATES. 


Blackhawk Resource Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BLR) ("Blackhawk" or the "Corporation"),
is pleased to announce that further to its press release of April 24, 2013, it
entered into a definitive share exchange agreement (the "Agreement") with Global
Royalty Corp. ("GRC"), a private British Columbia resource royalty corporation
(the "Transaction"). The Transaction remains subject to customary closing
conditions including, but not limited to, Blackhawk shareholder approval and
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. As of the date of this release, not less
than 67% of the GRC shareholders have entered into binding agreements to
exchange their shares for Blackhawk shares. Similarly, Certain Blackhawk
officers, directors and principal shareholders comprising 6% of the Blackhawk
shares outstanding have entered into support agreements in favor of the
Transaction.


In connection with the execution of the Agreement, Blackhawk will be advancing
as a loan to GRC $1.65 million to repay an existing GRC credit facility (the
Blackhawk Loan"). The Blackhawk Loan will bear interest at the prime rate plus
3% and is secured by general security agreements from GRC and its subsidiaries.
The Loan is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.


Blackhawk is listed on the TSXV and is currently engaged in the oil and gas
business. Upon completion of the Transaction, the Corporation will continue the
business of GRC, as described below.


Global Royalty Corp.

GRC's business focus is on the acquisition of commodity based royalties.
Commodity-based royalties generate revenues based upon receiving a fixed
percentage of total production output. This business model of investing in
revenue-based income streams significantly reduces risks associated with mine
operating and capital costs, while offering exposure to exploration upside at no
additional cost. GRC's royalty assets currently consist of two precious metals
net smelter return (NSR) royalties, both of which are in production, as follows:


Magistral / El Gallo Net Smelter Return Royalty

GRC owns a sliding scale Net Smelter Return Royalty on gold or gold equivalent
recovered from certain concessions on the El Gallo project owned by McEwen
Mining Inc. (MUX - TSX), located in Mexico. The royalty is calculated at a rate
of 1 percent of net smelter returns on the initial 30,000 ounces of gold
equivalent production, at a rate of 3.5 percent of net smelter returns on the
next 350,000 ounces of gold equivalent production, and thereafter, at a rate of
1 percent of net smelter returns on gold equivalent production recovered from
the area, in perpetuity. Additional details concerning the Magistral / El Gallo
project can be found on the McEwen Mining Inc. website and on SEDAR.


Zaruma Portovelo NSR Royalty

GRC owns a 1.5% NSR royalty covering the Zaruma Gold Project in Ecuador owned by
Dynasty Metals & Mining Inc. (DMM - TSX). Additional details concerning the
Zaruma Gold Project can be found on the Dynasty Metals & Mining Inc. website and
on SEDAR. 


The Transaction

The transaction will involve a consolidation of the shares of Blackhawk at a
ratio based upon the net working capital of Blackhawk at the time of the merger.
The ratio will be outlined in the management information circular that will be
prepared and distributed to all existing shareholders. In exchange for all of
the issued shares of GRC, Blackhawk will issue, post consolidation, up to 30.5
million shares, subject adjustment based on GRC issued for cash or in
consideration with GRC Royalty agreements completed prior to the closing date.


Sponsorship

Sponsorship of the Transaction may be required by the TSXV unless exempt in
accordance with TSXV policies. The Corporation is currently reviewing the
requirements for sponsorship and may apply for exemption from sponsorship
requirements. There is no assurance Blackhawk will ultimately obtain exemption
from sponsorship.


Trading Halt

Trading in the Corporation's common shares on the TSXV is halted and will remain
halted until the documentation required by the TSXV has been reviewed and
accepted by the TSXV.


Fairness Opinion

In connection with the transaction, Blackhawk currently intends to obtain a
fairness opinion with respect to the consideration to be paid for the GRC shares
and dilutive securities. 


Cautionary

Completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including
TSXV acceptance and, if applicable, majority of the minority shareholder
approval. Where applicable, the Transaction cannot close until the required
shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no assurance that the Transaction
will be completed as proposed or at all.
