WHD West Hawk Development Corp.

West Hawk Development Corp. ("West Hawk") (TSX VENTURE:WHD)(FRANKFURT:H5N) (the
"Company") has terminated the Letter of Intent ("LOI") with Radar Acquisitions
Corp. ("Radar") for the initial testing and joint development of the coal
property in eastern Colorado as a potential coal gasification project ("Colorado
East", also known as the "Buick Coal Project").


Over the last several months, Radar has been updating and revising the NI 43-101
report on the property, as required by the British Columbia Securities
Commission. The updated report filed in November 2007 (www.sedar.com) contained
several significant revisions from the report that the Company initially
evaluated: (1) the coal resources which were previously classified as "measured"
were reclassified as "indicated"; (2) the average Btu content of the coal
resource was reduced by approximately 400 Btu per pound; and (3) several of the
site's proposed mining areas are located on federal lands not currently under
lease.


As a result of the above revisions to Radar's NI 43-101 report, the Company
decided that the underlying economic value of the property did not warrant
further development and financial commitments under the terms and conditions of
the LOI. The Company intends to pursue other potential sites for a coal
gasification project in Colorado, as well as other sites in North America and
China. "The Company is extremely optimistic that coal gasification technology,
combined with solid strategic partnerships and a strong coal asset base, will
enable the Company to continue to implement its coal gasification objectives in
2008," commented Dr. Wm. Mark Hart, President and CEO.


On behalf of the Board of Directors,

Dr. Wm. Mark Hart, President and Chief Executive Officer
