Westhaven Provides Exploration Update - Seite 2

 

Hole SN20-73: Near bedrock surface anomalous zone of gold at Alpine (41.07-77.25m, Vein Zone 2) returned 36.18 metres (m) of 0.64 g/t gold (Au) and 3.17 g/t silver (Ag), including: 0.32m of 17.45 g/t Au and 61.50 g/t Ag.
 

Hole SN20-73 (Alpine - 137.26-143.26m) returned 6.00m of 0.89 g/t Au and 4.6 g/t Ag.
 

Hole SN20-76: Near surface anomalous zone of gold at Line 6 (7.90-29.00m) returned 21.10m of 0.53 g/t Au and 0.93 g/t Ag. 
 

The 3rd drill rig is on the Shylock target ~1.5 kilometres southeast of the South Zone discovery as the focus of this program is to test new drill targets. A drill is currently testing the MIK target while another is drilling north of the Lear Target.

Peter Fischl, Exploration Manager of Westhaven stated: “Drilling through the mid-summer has extended the strike length of the three vein zones originally defined in drilling at South Zone and previously intersected in historic drilling to the northwest at the MIK and Tower showings.  Vein Zone 3 has now been traced in recent drilling over a strike length of 650 metres. It remains open to the northwest. Vein Zone 2 has been traced northwest towards the Tower showing, an area of veining exposed in outcrop and intersected in shallow drilling that is identical to the veining seen in recent drilling at Vein Zone 2 to the southeast (Holes SN20-72, -73, -77).  A recent review of historic drilling at Tower dating back to 2011 has confirmed that the Tower showing represents the surficial expression of Vein Zone 2, giving the zone a strike length of 1.3 kilometres. It remains open to the northwest, and appears to continue towards the FMN target, a northwest trending soil geochemistry anomaly (As, Mo, Sb) of 500 metres in length lying northwest of the Tower showing. Recent drilling at the MIK showing (Holes SN20-86, -88) coupled with a reinterpretation of historic deeper drilling at MIK and Tower dating back to 2012 has confirmed that Vein Zone 1 now continues through this area for a total strike length of 2.2 kilometres. Follow-up drilling at MIK will target shallower portions of the vein system based on the pathfinder suite of elements encountered in hole SN20-86. Vein Zone 1 remains open to the northwest and appears to continue to the FMN target.  The newly discovered Franz quartz vein showing lies on strike another 1 kilometre to the northwest of the FMN target, suggesting the possibility that the vein system continues further to the northwest.”
