VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Westhaven Gold Corp. (TSXV:WHN) is pleased to announce that exploration drilling is underway at the Company’s 100% owned Shovelnose gold project in the Spences Bridge Gold Belt of Southern British Columbia. Approximately 5,000 metres of drilling is planned over the summer, with a focus on identifying new areas of low sulphidation epithermal gold mineralization.
Ken Armstrong, President & CEO of Westhaven, stated, “Summer exploration at Shovelnose is now in full swing with the start of an expanded, 5,000m drilling program. Drilling will focus on testing a number of ‘step change’ target areas where the discovery of new gold mineralization would complement the South Zone, FMN and Franz gold deposits (please refer to the attached plan map), which were the subject of a recently completed preliminary economic assessment of the potential for a high grade, high margin underground gold mining opportunity at Shovelnose (please see news release dated March 3rd, 2025 for details). As part of the drill program, we also plan to complete at least one drill hole to provide additional geotechnical, geochemical and metallurgical data on Vein Zones 1, 2 and 3, in the core of the South Zone.”
