WESTHAVEN COMMENCES GROUND GEOPHYSICS ON ITS SHOVELNOSE GOLD
PROPERTY
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Vancouver, B.C. – January 18, 2018 – Westhaven Ventures Inc. (TSX-V:WHN) is pleased to
announce that ground geophysics has commenced at its 18,768 hectare Shovelnose gold property,
located within the prospective Spences Bridge Gold Belt (SBGB), approximately 35 kilometres south
of Merritt, British Columbia.
Westhaven has engaged Scott Geophysics Limited of Vancouver, B.C. to survey approximately 11
line kilometres of ground magnetics. In June 2017, a 50 line-km ground magnetic survey outlined two
northeast trending magnetic lows located to the south of the Alpine Zone, the Alpine South Zone,
confirmed by recent drilling. The purpose of this ground geophysics program is to extend coverage to
the south and southwest of the Alpine South Zone and better define potential structural trends within
a newly identified zone of mineralization and vein system. The data from this magnetic survey will
be used to assist in diamond drill targeting. Please see the map below for details on the survey.
Shovelnose Gold Property Overview
There is evidence of a significant mineralized alteration system within the property where float
samples grading 119 g/t Au (Gold) and 273 g/t Ag (Silver), veins exposed by trenching grading 66
g/t Au, and wide low grade alteration zones typical of epithermal gold deposits have been
discovered. Recent drilling intersected 85 metres of 0.52 g/t Au and 5.7 metres of 2.5 g/t Au. For

The Spences Bridge Gold Belt (SBGB)
Westhaven owns a 100%-interest in over 32,000 hectares within the prospective SBGB, which is
situated within a geological setting similar to those which host other significant epithermal gold-
silver systems. It is close to existing transportation and infrastructure allowing for cost-effective
exploration. The SBGB is a 110-kilometre northwest-trending belt of intermediate to felsic volcanic
rocks dominated by the Cretaceous Spences Bridge group. Westhaven has been working on the SBGB
since 2011 and believes these relatively underexplored volcanic rocks are highly prospective for
epithermal style gold mineralization.
