GoldHaven Resources to Acquire Strategic High-Grade Tungsten Claims within its Magno Project in Northwestern British Columbia
GoldHaven Resources to Acquire Strategic High-Grade Tungsten Claims
within its Magno Project in Northwestern British Columbia
Vancouver, British Columbia – GlobeNewswire – June 17th, 2025 – GoldHaven Resources Corp.
(“GoldHaven” or the “Company”) (CSE: GOH | OTCQB: GHVNF | FSE: 4QS) is pleased to announce that
it has entered into an agreement to acquire the Kuhn, Dead Goat, and M3 claims (the “Claims”) located in
northwestern British Columbia, within the Company’s flagship Magno Project. The claims total 1,100.6
acres and host a historic resource of 409,300 tonnes at 0.48% WO₃ (tungsten trioxide) and 0.134% MoS₂
(molybdenum disulfide) in the Kuhn North zone . These estimates are historical in nature and do not meet NI -
43.101 standards and therefore should not be relied upon.
Tungsten: A Critical Mineral of Strategic Importance to North America
Tungsten has emerged as a critical mineral of strategic importance due to its unmatched physical properties
and indispensable role in high-performance applications. With the highest melting point of any metal and
exceptional density and hardness, tungsten is essential to modern defense systems, including armor-piercing
munitions, kinetic energy penetrators, and aircraft turbine components. Its resilience to extreme
temperatures and wear makes it equally vital in aerospace, advanced manufacturing, and nuclea r energy.
These characteristics, combined with a lack of viable substitutes, position tungsten as a cornerstone of
national security and industrial competitiveness.
However, the global tungsten supply chain faces a significant geopolitical risk. China, which controls over
80% of global tungsten production and refining, enacted strict export controls in February 2025 that have
effectively halted shipments of key tungst en products. Though not an outright ban, China has issued no
export licenses under the new regime, creating a de facto blockade that has shocked global markets and
driven to increased prices and supply uncertainty . This move highlights the urgent need for diversified,
secure tungsten supply chains as Western nations confront the strategic vulnerabilities of relying on a single
dominant supplier for such a critical resource. Analysts anticipate that Chinese-supplied tungsten may be
scarce in the global markets driving companies and countries to explore for alternative sources and
strategies to mitigate the impact of China's export controls.
Acquisition Highlights:
• The Kuhn and Dead Goat properties are in the Cassiar Mining District, British Columbia, and have
been explored since at least the 1970s.
• Historic drilling by Shell Canada included 17 diamond drill holes totaling 1,766 metres, confirming
the presence of high-grade scheelite (CaWO4) and molybdenite (MoS₂).
• Well-developed skarn-type mineralization system.

• Recent exploration has confirmed significant tungsten and molybdenum mineralization in
metasomatic skarn lenses, with ongoing potential for resource expansion.
• Historical Resource Estimates:
Historical Estimate Disclosure: This resource estimate constitutes a “historical estimate”, as that term is
defined in National Instrument 43- 101 Disclosure Standards for Mineral Projects (“ NI 43 -101”). This
information is derived from summary report McDame project 82 -546-10512, filed by Shell Canada
Resources. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current
mineral resources or mineral reserves, and accordingly the estimates may not be relevant or reliable. ] The
Company is not treating the historical estimate as current. In order to verify the historical estimate, a
qualified person needs to review the historical data, review any work completed at the projects since the
date of the historical estimate and complete a new mineral resource estimate

Terms of the Acquisition:
GoldHaven has entered into a title transfer agreement (the “Agreement”) dated June 12, 2025 with
Fundamental Resources Corp. (the “Vendor”), pursuant to which it is entitled to acquire a 100% interest in
the Claims located in the Cassiar Mining District, British Columbia (the “Transaction”). As consideration,
the Company will issue 1,250,000 common shares (the “Consideration Shares”) to the Vendor, subject to a
36-month escrow release schedule pursuant to which 10% of the Consideration Shares will be released on
completion of the Transaction, and 15% on each six month anniversary thereof. 100% of the Consideration
Shares will be subject to the standard Canadian statutory four month hold period. The Transaction is
expected to be completed on or about June 24, 2025.
Rob Birmingham, CEO of GoldHaven Resources, stated: “We are very pleased to expand our presence
in this underexplored but highly prospective region of British Columbia. The Kuhn, Dead Goat, and M3
claims strengthen our strategic land position within the Magno Project and introduce compelling tungsten
upside with additional zones of Copper, Zinc and Molybdenum to the GoldHaven story. The Kuhn and Dead
Goat deposits share a geological setting similar to Cantung and Mactung, both large tungsten skarn
deposits in Canada. This strategic acquisition comes on the heels of continued strong demand for
commodities caught in the middle of global tariff battles —particularly tungsten. Historic work by Shell
Canada, coupled with more recent explorati on by Fundamental Resources, has highlighted the potential
for a high-grade skarn system that could support a future development opportunity.”
The Company plans to conduct a detailed review of historic data and design follow-up exploration programs
to confirm and expand the known mineralization.
