GoldHaven Resources Completes Diamond Drilling at Copeçal Gold

Project, Reports Sulphide Mineralisation at East Target

Vancouver, British Columbia – December 1 7th, 2025 – GoldHaven Resources Corp.

(“GoldHaven” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a comprehensive update on its

inaugural diamond drilling program at the Copeçal Project, further to its previous press

releases announcing the commencement of drilling, the i ntersection of sulphide

mineralisation in Hole COPE-PDH-004, and the subsequent drilling of a follow -up Hole

COPE-PDH-009.

Highlights

• Inaugural diamond drilling program successfully completed at the Copeçal Project,

marking the first -ever diamond drilling campaign on the property, with nine holes

totaling 1,085.7 metres completed.

• Sulphide mineralisation intersected at the Eastern Gold -in-Soil Anomaly, including

chalcopyrite–pyrite over ~30 metres in Hole COPE -PDH-004 and bornite –

chalcopyrite–pyrite over ~5 metres in follow-up Hole COPE-PDH-009.

• First occurrence of bornite identified at Copeçal, indicating multi -phase

hydrothermal fluid activity and providing an important geological vector for ongoing

interpretation and targeting.

• Deep saprolite profile encountered at the Western Gold -in-Soil Anomaly, with

weathering extending to ~60 metres, suggesting potential for gold mineralisation

within the saprolite and/or oxidation of primary sulphides.

• Assay results pending, with all drill core currently being logged and sampled to be

submitted to ALS Laboratories prior to year-end.

The Company confirms that the drilling program has now been successfully completed,

representing the first diamond drilling campaign ever conducted at the Copeçal Project. A

total of nine diamond drill holes were completed for a combined drill meterage of 1085.70m,

targeting two priority gold -in-soil anomalies located in the eastern and western portions of

the project area.

Eastern Gold-in-Soil Anomaly – Sulphide Mineralisation and Follow-Up Drilling

As previously reported, Hole COPE-PDH-004 intersected a substantial sulphide-bearing

interval encountered during the program, which prompted the Company to drill Hole COPE-

PDH-009 to further investigate this mineralised zone.

Key geological observations from drilling at the eastern anomaly include:

• A zone of sulphide mineralisation over approximately 30 meters in hole COPE-PDH-

004 (chalcopyrite -pyrite) and 5 metres (bornite – chalcopyrite and pyrite) in hole

COPE-PDH-009.

• Bornite* observed for the first time at the Copeçal Project in hole COPE-PDH-009.

• Sulphide mineralisation associated with phyllic alteration

*Bornite is a copper -iron sulphide mineral commonly associated with hydrothermal mineral

systems, including porphyry - and structurally controlled environments. While the presence of

bornite and other sulphides does not confirm the presence of economic mine ralisation, this

assemblage indicates multi-phase hydrothermal fluid activity and provides an important geological

vector that will be further assessed once assay results are available.

Hole COPE-PDH-009 was designed to test the continuity and geological context of the

sulphide-bearing interval intersected in Hole COPE-PDH-004. All core from these holes is

being logged and sampled, with analytical results pending.

Western Gold-in-Soil Anomaly – Deep Saprolite Profile

Drill holes COPE-PDH-005 through COPE-PDH-008, which targeted the western gold-in-soil

anomaly, intersected a substantially thicker saprolite profile extending to approximately 60

metres downhole.

While no visible sulphides were observed in fresh core, the following geological features

were logged:

• Shearing, alteration, and quartz veining.

• A thick weathered profile suggesting that any gold mineralisation present may have

been intersected within saprolite.

• Potential oxidation of any primary sulphide mineralisation originally present within

the weathered zone.

Accordingly, assay results from saprolite intervals will be required to properly evaluate the

gold potential of the western anomaly.

Regional Geological Context

The Copeçal Project is located within the broader Alta Floresta Mineral Province, a

Paleoproterozoic belt recognised for hosting multiple gold and copper occurrences.

Mineralisation within the region is commonly associated with:

• Structurally controlled hydrothermal systems

• Quartz veining and phyllic alteration

• Sulphide assemblages that may include pyrite, chalcopyrite and locally bornite

These regional characteristics provide important geological context for the sulphide and

alteration assemblages observed at Copeçal and will inform ongoing interpretation and

future exploration planning.

Sampling, Assays and Next Steps

• Logging and sampling of all remaining drill core is ongoing

• Samples will be submitted to ALS Laboratories prior to year-end

• Assay results will be reported as they are received, in accordance with CSE

disclosure requirements

The Company emphasises that mineral exploration is inherently high-risk, particularly at an

early stage, and that geological observations alone are not indicative of economic

mineralisation. Nevertheless, GoldHaven believes the geological knowledge gained from

this inaugural diamond drilling program has significantly advanced the understanding of the

- 6 -

Copeçal Project and represents an important step toward refining future exploration

strategies.

GoldHaven remains encouraged by the results to date and looks forward to providing

further updates as analytical results become available.

Rob Birmingham, CEO of GoldHaven Resources, commented:

“Intersecting sulphide mineralisation in Hole COPE -PDH-004 and subsequently in follow -

up Hole COPE-PDH-009 at our East Target during a first -pass drilling program has provided

valuable new geological insights. These results continue to enhance our understa nding of

the system as we integrate geological, structural, and geochemical data to refine targeting

across both the East and West anomalies, as well as other prospective targets identified

from our newly developed 3D diamond drilling dataset at Copeçal.”

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.

GoldHaven’ s tenements cover a total of 3,681 hectares in a geologically favourable setting within

the Juruena Gold Province of Brazil.

Figure 5: Location of the Copeçal Gold Project within Alta Floresta gold province, with competitor

locations.

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 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.

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.
