Ongoing Drill Campaign At The Shovelnose Gold Property

VANCOUVER - Westhaven Gold Corp. reported on its ongoing, fully-financed drill campaign at its 100% owned 17,623-hectare Shovelnose gold property. Shovelnose is located within the prospective Spences Bridge Gold Belt (SBGB), which borders the Coquihalla Highway 30 kilometers south of Merritt, British Columbia. Westhaven completed 40,077 meters of diamond drilling in 2021. An additional 34 holes are pending assays.

Peter Fischl, Exploration Manager, said, “Drilling continues to intersect gold mineralization along Vein Zone 1 at the FMN target, 1.5 to 2km northwest of the recently released South Zone in-pit resource. Drilling here is following up on last year’s high grade intercept in hole SN21-161 (9.15 g/t Au over 15.97m). This drilling has now encountered mineralization over a strike length of 480 meters (from hole SN20-139 northwest to hole SN21-167), over a vertical range of 270 meters, starting at the top of bedrock in an area of minimal glacial till cover . Overburden is no more than 30m deep over this mineralized strike length at FMN. Vein Zone 1 broadens up-dip, near surface, with true widths of up to 40m as seen in hole SN21-188 (0.76 g/t Au over 57.8m). Drilling has resumed at the FMN zone with a view to targeting higher-grade mineralization at the preferred elevation range of 1200 to 1400m over an area extending southeast towards hole SN20-139 and northwest towards and beyond hole SN21-167.”
