Dear Sirs:
Re: Common Stock of Black Hawk Exploration, Inc. Registered on Form S-1 /A , filed on April 26 , 2010 |
We have acted as counsel to Black Hawk Exploration, Inc. (the “Company”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, in connection with the filing, on April 26 , 2010, of a registration statement on Form S-1 /A (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) of 39,435, 294 shares of the Company’s common stock, consisting of:
1. | 18,000,000 shares of common stock for sale by the Company (the “Primary Offering Shares”) ; and |
2. | 21,435,294 shares of common stock for resale by certain selling shareholders named in the Registration Statement (the “Secondary Offering Shares”) . |
We have examined the originals or certified copies of such corporate records of the Company and/or public officials and such other documents and have made such other factual and legal investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary as the basis for the opinions set forth below. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies or as facsimiles of copies or originals, which assumptions we have not independently verified.
Based upon the foregoing and the examination of such legal authorities as we have deemed relevant, and subject to the qualifications and further assumptions set forth below, we are of the opinion that :
1. | the Primary Offering Shares will, when sold, be legally issued, fully paid and non-assesable; and |
2. | the Secondary Offering Shares are legally issued, fully paid and non-assesable. |

This opinion letter is opining upon and is limited to the current federal laws of the United States and, as set forth above, Nevada law, including the statutory provisions, all applicable provisions of the Nevada Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting those laws, as such laws presently exist and to the facts as they presently exist. We express no opinion with respect to the effect or applicability of the laws of any other jurisdiction. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion letter should the laws of such jurisdiction be changed after the date hereof by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933 or the General Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
