WHD West Hawk Development Corp.

West Hawk Development Corp. (TSX VENTURE:WHD)(FRANKFURT:H5N) (the "Company") is
pleased to announce that Roger A. Baer has been appointed Managing Director of
Canadian Operations and will report to the President and CEO of the Americas.
Baer, who previously served as the company's chief financial officer will be
responsible for the development of West Hawk's Groundhog Coal Project in British
Columbia; Northwest Territories Coal Project in Tulita; and the Nunavut Coal
Project at Ellesmere Island. He has resigned his position as a member of the
West Hawk Board of Directors.


The objective of Mr. Baer's work will be to manage the process of defining
potential coal resources on all three coal prospects in Canada. Weir
International Inc. ("WEIR") has been hired to perform sufficient work to
classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral
reserves.


Baer has more than 25 years of experience in the minerals and natural resources
industries. He is a Certified Management Accountant and has held senior
positions with Newmont Mining, Cyprus Amax Minerals, Kennecott Energy and Amoco
Pipeline Co. He earned a B.S. degree in accounting from Illinois State
University and an MBA from the University of Phoenix.


"Roger's leadership skills and extensive experience in the industry will be a
benefit to West Hawk as the company further develops its Canadian properties.
This move shows the emphasis that WHD is placing on the Canadian coal projects
and its desire for further development," said Gonzalo Torres Macchiavello,
President and CEO of the Americas.


On behalf of the Board of Directors,

Wm. Mark Hart, President and Chief Executive Officer
