WESTHAVEN COMMENCES GROUND GEOPHYSICS ON THE NEWLY DISCOVERED CERTES TARGET

AT SHOVELNOSE; INCLUDING INDUCED POLARIZATION (IP) SURVEY

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

V ancouver, B.C. – November 6th, 2024 – W esthaven Go ld Co r p. (TSX-V:WHN) is pleased to announce

that Induced Polarization (IP) and ground magnetic surveys have commenced over and around the newly

discovered C ertes target at its 41,634-hectare Shovelnose gold property, situated within the prospective

Spences Bridge G old Belt (SBG B), 30 kilometres south of M erritt, British C olumbia.

The IP survey, as currently planned, will cover an area of approximately 8.5km 2, centred on the C ertes 1,

2 and 3 targets that were tested by a total of six drill holes during the fall 2024 program (assays

pending) . IP coverage will test the 3km strike length of the C ertes area, as currently recognized, as well

as adjacent features interpreted from mapping/sampling undertaken in 2024 and pre -existing airborne

magnetic coverage. D epending on weather conditions and preliminary results, the survey may be

expanded to encompass the C orral target, situated about 1.8km southwest of C ertes. A ground magnetic

survey will be conducted concurrently with the IP work.

A s announced in the A ugust 26 th, 2024, news release: C ertes Trend – C ertes is a 3km long concentration

of strongly anomalous pathfinder elements in rock and soil samples situated some 8km east -southeast

of the Franz -FMN-South Zone along the same geophysical/geochemical corridor. Banded and laminated

mercury -bearing chalcedony cobbles and boulders found at surface amongst andesite subcrop at the

northwestern end of the current C ertes Trend are indicative of near surface low sulphidation epithermal

deposits, suggesting preservation of an entire system in the C er tes area beneath an andesite cap.

A long with drilling to identify and evaluate potential controlling structures on these three areas along

the C ertes Trend, each spaced about 1km apart (C ertes Targets 1,2, and 3) these geophysical surveys will

better define deep seated structures that may have influenced the development of epithermal systems,

and to assist in interpretation of the subsurface geology.

Summer/fall 2024 drill campaign

The summer/fall 2024 drill campaign has been completed. A ll core has been processed and sent to the

lab for assay. Once all assays have been received, analyzed and interpreted by our technical team, the

company will put out a news release along with the next steps for exploration and drilling in early 2025.

Shovelnose project in B .C ., the potential for near surface low sulphidation epithermal deposits to exist on the

Shovelnose property, the C ompany’ s objective of identifying and evaluating potential controlling structures

through drilling and geophysical surveys and interpreting subsurface geology, as well as the timing to

determine, approve and announce exploration plans for 2025. In certain cases, forward-looking statements

can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget",
