GoldHaven Announces Maiden Diamond Drill Program Over High-Priority Gold Targets at Copeçal Project in Brazil
GoldHaven Announces Maiden Diamond Drill Program Over
High-Priority Gold Targets at Copeçal Project in Brazil
Vancouver, British Columbia – (GlobeNewswire) – September 9th, 2025, GoldHaven Resources
Corp. (“GoldHaven” or the “ Company”) (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) (FSE: 4QS) is pleased to
announce plans for immediate commencement of a maiden 1,200 m diamond drilling program
targeting two priority gold targets at it’s Copeçal Gold Project in Mato Grosso, Brazil.
Highlights:
• Recent auger drilling by GoldHaven and historical sampling (including by AngloGold Ashanti)
identified strong gold in-soil anomalies at two priority targets: East and West.
• Anomalies extend through up to 30m thick weathered saprolite profile, with surface
geochemistry showing consistent gold values over wide zones, indicating potential bedrock
sources.
• VLF-EM surveys delineated resistivity and conductivity anomalies supporting the auger -
defined gold targets.
• Maiden 1,200 m diamond drilling program comprising 8-10 angled holes (max depth 150 m)
to test unweathered bedrock at 80-120 m vertical depth below surface.
• Drilling is scheduled to commence on or before October 1, 2025, and completed by end of
November 2025.
Copeçal Gold Project Drill Targets:
GoldHaven has identified two high -priority drill targets, East and West, for its upcoming diamond
drilling program. These targets were defined through a combination of strong gold anomalies from
recent auger sampling and supportive geophysical VLF -EM resistivity and conductivity responses.
Importantly, the targets are further reinforced by structural interpretations from historical high -
resolution drone magnetics and surface geochemistry completed by previous operators, including
Boa Gold Ltd. and AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. Together, these datasets highlight compelling
opportunities for the identification of meaningful gold mineralization on the property.

High Resistivity Anomaly (> 1800 ohm*m - East), the High Conductivity Anomaly (< 250 ohm*m -West) relative
to coincident surface and saprolite Au Geochemistry Anomalies (> 100 ppb Au – East and > 50 ppb Au -
West).
East Target
The East Target is defined by a prominent high resistivity anomaly (> 1800 ohm*m) which is spatially
coincided with strike consistent zones of gold geochemical anomalism (> 100 ppb Au) as highlighted
by GoldHaven’s recent shallow auger drilling campaign and historical soil sampling.
Drill targets have been defined by vectoring this surface and weathered zone gold anomalism
through up to 30 m thick saprolite – weathered profile zone to a bedrock gold source extending to
depth. Here, the highly resistive zone is interpreted to potentially represent alteration (silicification)
of quartz mica schist associated with mineralization manifested along its sheared contact with
granitic rocks.

location of the High Resistivity Anomaly (> 1800 ohm*m), relative to coincident surface and saprolite Au
Geochemistry Anomalies (Pink > 20ppb Au, Red > 100 ppb Au).
West Target
Similarly, diamond drilling over the West Target will test depth extensions, associated with highly
conductive VLF -EM responses (<500 ohm*m) and coincident with gold anomalous geochemistry
(>50 ppb Au) manifested at surface and through up to 30 m thick saprolite - weathered profile as
defined by historical auger drilling by AngloGold Ashanti. The highly conductive zone is interpreted
to potentially represent sulphide mineralization associated with zones of shearing within and along
contacts between granitic and schistose host rocks.

Planned Diamond Drilling Program:
GoldHaven plans a maiden diamond drill program to test the two priority targets developed by its
2025 exploration activities at the Copeçal Gold Project.
To test the East and West Targets at Copeçal, GoldHaven has defined a 1 ,200 m diamond drilling
program comprising 8 – 10 holes with a maximum drilled depth of 150 m. Angled holes are planned
to intersect the projected target zones in unweathered bedrock at depths between 80 and 120 m
vertically below surface.
A total 4 – 5 holes are planned at the East Target testing gold in soil and saprolite anomalism (> 100
ppb Au) over a strike distance of approximately 400 m coincident with a large area of high – resistivity
(> 1800 ohm*m) as delineated by the VLF results.

Geochemistry Anomaly (Pink > 20ppb Au, Red > 100 ppb Au). The section line (blue) shows the location of

A further 4-5 holes are planned to test the West Target, again targeting gold in soil and saprolite
anomalism (>100ppb Au) over a 400m strike length coincident with a large area of high conductivity
(< 500 ohm*m).

of November 2025.
Rob Birmingham, CEO of GoldHaven Resources, commented: “We are thrilled to be moving
forward with the maiden drill program at the Copeçal Gold Project, following the highly encouraging
results from the combined data and interpretation of our auger drilling and VLF-EM survey. The East
and West targets have delivered strong gold anomalies and represent exceptional opportunities for
the identification of gold mineralization . Backed by the extensive historical work of AngloGold
Ashanti and guided by Jon Hill, P.Geo, our team is positioned to unlock the full potenti al of this
exciting gold project.”
About the Copeçal Gold Project: A Brief History
The Copeçal Gold Project is strategically situated within the Alta Floresta Gold Province, a
historically productive region that has yielded substantial gold discoveries since the late 1970s.
o d ve ’ te e e t cover tot o , hect re eo o gically favourable setting within
the Juruena Gold Province of Brazil.
The Juruena Gold Province, also known as the Juruena Magmatic Arc, is an orogenic belt highly
prospective for mesothermal shear-related and intrusion-related gold deposits, such as G- ’
Tocantinzinho deposit. Additionally, the region hosts recently i dentified porphyry -style deposits
(e.g., Serabi, Jaca) and epithermal -style deposits (e.g., X1, Aura). The presence of multiple deposit
styles, along with the confirmation of large -scale gold deposits in the Juruena Province of Brazil,
underscores the significant potential of the Copeçal Gold Project.

Recent exploration programs, including geochemical soil sampling, drone-mounted magnetometry
surveys, and historical drilling data, indicate the presence of multiple gold -bearing structures.
Notably, AngloGold Ashanti previously conducted systematic exploration on the property from 2010
to 2016, including auger and air -core drilling, geophysical surveys, and rock geochemistry,
identifying multiple zones of anomalous gold mineralization.

Soil sampling grids and follow -up auger drilling in key areas revealed consistent gold values over
wide zones, further supporting the presence of a substantial mineralized system.
