     Hawker Resources Achieves Major Milestones

CALGARY, April 30, 2003 - Hawker Resources Inc. (HKR:TSX) announced today that the arrangement between Southward Energy Ltd. and a wholly owned subsidiary of Hawker has been completed. Pursuant to the arrangement, all of the outstanding common shares of Southward were acquired at a price of $4.77 per share. The previously announced concurrent sale of substantially all of Southward’s assets to an arm’s length third party has also closed.

“The completion of the acquisition of Southward is a major milestone for Hawker,” said David Tuer, CEO of Hawker. “This milestone was achieved by placing substantially all of Southward’s assets with a third party on a basis which allows us to reacquire up to 50% of what we consider to be the best assets of Southward. It is very difficult to secure assets of this quality on an option basis at the same price an informed arm’s length party has agreed to pay for those assets, and even more difficult to secure a right to such assets which is subject to financing. Hawker has achieved both of these difficult objectives and is now moving ahead with its proposed financing and the execution of its business plan.”

The Hawker option is to reacquire an interest in the properties of Southward located east of Edmonton in the Lavoy and Cold Lake/Bonnyville areas of Alberta together with other minor interests and expires July 29, 2003. Hawker intends to fully exercise the option to bring its aggregate interest in the properties to 50%. Hawker has filed a preliminary prospectus for a fully marketed $40,000,000 common share offering, the net proceeds of which will be used, together with bank financing, to fund the exercise price of the option. The exact number of common shares to be issued and the price per common share will be determined in approximately four weeks, following the marketing of the offering. Hawker’s preliminary prospectus is available at www.sedar.com.
