WESTHAVEN COMMENCES HIGH RESOLUTION AIRBORNE GEOPHYSICS ON ITS

SKOONKA AND SKOONKA NORTH GOLD PROPERTIES

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Vancouver, B.C. – November 9, 2018 – Westhaven Ventures Inc. (TSX-V:WHN) reports that an

airborne geophysical survey has commenced across its 2,784 hectare Skoonka and 6,167 hectare

Skoonka North gold properties, located within the prospective Spences Bridge Gold Belt (SBGB).

Westhaven has engaged Precision GeoSurveys Inc. of Langley, B.C. to fly a helicopter-borne high

resolution aeromagnetic survey over the both properties covering a combined 8,951 hectares. The

survey block will be flown in a systematic low-level grid pattern at 75-metre line spacing over the

Skoonka property and 100-metre line spacing over the Skoonka North property. Combined this

covers a total of 1,186 line kilometres. The purpose of this program is to increase property coverage

and to help uncover favourable structures. It is important to determine structural controls that may

be associated with additional zones of gold-silver mineralized veins. Please see maps below.

The Spences Bridge Gold Belt (SBGB)

Westhaven owns a 100%-interest in 4 properties covering over 35,000 hectares within the prospective

SBGB, which is situated within a geological setting like those which host other significant epithermal

gold-silver systems. It is close to major transportation routes 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. Sable Resources and Westhaven

have a combined control of 86% of the SBGB (225,000ha). Any ground staked by Sable within a 5-

kilometre perimeter of Westhaven's existing property boundaries will be subject to a 2.5% NSR. In

addition, Westhaven has a 30-day Right of First Refusal (ROFR) for a three-year period on any

properties outside of the 5-km area of interest.
