GoldHaven Highlights Gold Potential at Copeçal Gold Project in Brazil
GoldHaven Highlights Gold Potential at Copeçal Gold Project in Brazil
Vancouver, British Columbia, February 18, 2025 – GoldHaven Resources Corp.
("GoldHaven" or the "Company") (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) (FSE: 4QS) is pleased to
announce the significant gold potential of its 100%-owned Copeçal Gold Project, located in
the highly prospective Juruena Gold Province in Brazil. This region has a long history of gold
production and continues to be a focal point for exploration and development.
“We are incredibly excited to advance our Copeçal Gold Project at such a pivotal time in the gold
sector,” stated Bonn Smith, CEO of GoldHaven. “Thanks to AngloGold Ashanti’s systemic
exploration from 2010 to 2016 which identified multiple zones of anomalous gold
mineralization, the stage is set for what we believe will be an exciting diamond drill campaign.
The Copeçal Gold Project represents not just a great opportunity for GoldHaven, but also for the
broader gold market, as we look to contribute to an ever-precious resource that has stood the test
of time as the ultimate safe-haven asset."
Gold Potential in a Prolific Mining Region of Brazil
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.
GoldHaven’s tenements cover a total of 3,681 hectares in a geologically 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-
Mining’s Tocantinzinho deposit. Additionally, the region hosts recently identified 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.

Historical Work by AngloGold Ashanti
The Copeçal Gold Project benefits from extensive historical work, with AngloGold Ashanti’s
exploration confirming gold and arsenic anomalies, indicative of significant mineralization
potential. 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.
Key historical work includes:
• Stream Sediment Sampling: Early-stage exploration by AngloGold Ashanti identified
gold anomalies in regional stream sediment surveys, providing the initial targeting
foundation.

• Grid-Based Soil Geochemistry: The property underwent detailed geochemical sampling
using a systematic 400m x 40m grid pattern, which led to the discovery of several gold-
bearing zones.
• Auger and Air-Core Drilling: 49 auger holes and 6 air-core holes were completed to
further define geochemical anomalies and improve subsurface characterization.
• Induced Polarization (IP) & Ground Magnetic Surveys: Geophysical surveys helped
delineate major structural trends and hydrothermal alteration zones correlated with
known gold occurrences.
• Historical Exploration Follow-Ups: AngloGold Ashanti’s exploration efforts resulted in
the identification of multiple high-priority targets. The data generated from these efforts
provides the foundation for subsequent exploration programs, including refining
geological interpretations and guiding future drilling campaigns.

Infrastructure to Fast-Track Development
The Copeçal Gold Project is exceptionally well positioned for expedited development, supported
by strong infrastructure in the region.
Key infrastructure advantages include:
• Established Road Access: The project is accessible year-round via the BR-163 paved
highway, connecting it to major industrial centers and export hubs.
• Proximity to Mining Services: The nearby towns of Alta Floresta, Sinop, and Colider
provide skilled labor, mining equipment suppliers, and logistical support.
• Reliable Power Supply: The project area is served by high-tension power lines
connected to the São Manoel hydroelectric plant, ensuring a stable energy source for
future mining operations.
• Permitting & Land Access: Exploration permits are in place, with no major
environmental or indigenous restrictions identified, streamlining the path to further
drilling and potential development.
• Climate and Accessibility: The region benefits from a tropical climate, allowing
exploration and drilling activities to be conducted year-round without significant
weather-related delays.

Next Steps for GoldHaven at the Copeçal Gold Project
With a strong foundation of historical work and robust infrastructure, GoldHaven is well-
positioned to accelerate its exploration efforts at Copeçal. The Company plans to initiate an
expanded drill program to test priority targets identified through geochemical and geophysical
analysis. This program will include:
• Systematic Auger Drill Program: To date drill targets are identified in two geochemical
anomalies in the east and west. The auger program will collect soil down to the bedrock
in a grid over the anomalies further delineating the number and direction of the diamond
drill targets.
• Diamond Drill Program: Following the auger program including desktop review and
interpretation of all the results to date, the Company will be initiating a minimum 1,000m
diamond drill program.
• Infill and Step-Out Drilling: Further delineating the mineralized structures by tightening
drill spacing and expanding on known anomalies identified in the maiden diamond drill
program.
• Deep Drilling to Test Structural Controls : Targeting deeper extensions of the
mineralized zones to assess potential for larger-scale gold mineralization.
• Expanded Geophysical Surveys: Conducting additional IP and magnetometry surveys
to refine the geological model and identify new prospective areas.
