WESTHAVEN COMMENCES SUMMER DRILL PROGRAM

ON THE SHOVELNOSE GOLD PROJECT, SOUTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA

Vancouver, B.C. – June 19, 2025 – Westhaven Gold Corp. (TSX-V: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.”

gold properties spread along this underexplored belt. The Shovelnose Gold project is the most

advance property, with a recently updated 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment that validates

the Project’s potential as a robust, low co st and high margin 11 -year underground gold mining

opportunity with average annual life -of-mine gold production of 56,000 ounces and having a

Cdn$454 million after- tax NPV6% and 43.2% IRR (base case parameters of US$2 ,400 per ounce

gold, US$28 per ounce silver and CDN/US$ exchange rate of $0.72). Initial capital costs are

release dated March 3, 2025 for details of the updated PEA. Shovelnose is situated off a major

highway, near power, rail, large producing mines, pipelines and within commuting distance from

the city of Merritt, which result in lower cost exploration and development.
