    Westhaven Expands Claim Package at the Shovelnose Gold Property

    VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westhaven Gold Corp. (TSX-V:WHN) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a strategic transaction with Talisker Resources Ltd. (TSX:TSK) (“Talisker”) which will, together with additional staking completed by Westhaven, expand the Shovelnose gold property by 24,000 hectares to 41,623 hectares . The Shovelnose is located within the prospective Spences Bridge Gold Belt (SBGB), which borders the Coquihalla Highway 30 kilometres south of Merritt, B.C.

    Westhaven entered into a property purchase agreement dated August 19, 2024 (the “Agreement”) with Talisker to acquire 12 claims covering 23,550 hectares contiguous with its Shovelnose gold property (the “Claims”). Westhaven has staked an additional 450 hectares. Please see claims map below.

    • Westhaven has increased its exposure to this emerging epithermal gold district; Spences Bridge Gold Belt.
    • Exploration by Westhaven has highlighted a corridor that hosts South Zone, FMN and Franz, extends for over 11km and trends into these claims to the southeast.
    • The southeast extent of this corridor is highly prospective, containing anomalous epithermal pathfinders; antimony (Sb) and mercury (Hg), and the recently discovered Certes showing, where banded mercury-bearing, high level epithermal quartz has been identified. Please see maps below.
    • The Certes showing (located ~6km to southeast of the South Zone) and the southeast extent of the corridor has not been drill tested.
    • The presence of high-level quartz veins and anomalous Sb-Hg geochemistry, suggests that the southeast extent of the Shovelnose epithermal corridor is more preserved, raising the potential for additional discoveries within this area.

    Gareth Thomas, President & CEO, states, “Property wide prospecting, sampling, and mapping continue to generate new zones of interest outside of the main discovery and resource areas at Shovelnose. Cumulative geochemical and geophysical data continues to highlight a potentially significant mineralized corridor that projects across the Shovelnose property in a northwest-southeast orientation.” Thomas goes on to add, “This corridor which now spans more than 11 kilometres, includes the Franz, FMN, Line 6 and South zones and soon-to-be drill tested, Certes Zone. By acquiring and staking these claims, Westhaven has increased the potential exposure to this mineralized corridor as well as prospective ground identified by Talisker’s exploration efforts.”
