WESTHAVEN COMMENCES PROPERTY-WIDE EXPLORATION AT SHOVELNOSE
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Vancouver, B.C. – May 28th, 2019 – Westhaven Ventures Inc. (TSX-V:WHN) is pleased to report that
it has commenced a detailed prospecting, mapping, and soil sampling program on its 15,542 hectare
Shovelnose gold property, located within the prospective Spences Bridge Gold Belt (SBGB), which
borders the Coquihalla Highway 30 kilometres south of Merritt, British Columbia.
Exploration Program
Soil sampling; approximately 1,000 samples
Prospecting
Geological Mapping
Interpretation of recently completed geophysics
The soil sampling will cover an area to the east of the South Zone where there are magnetic low
anomalies coincident with gold and arsenic soil geochemical anomalies. Detailed geological mapping
and prospecting will cover most of the property, focusing on areas with little to no previous
exploration. Gareth Thomas, President & CEO of Westhaven states, "It is common to find multiple ein
zones in proximity given the particular style of mineralization encountered at Shovelnose. The
15,000-hectare property is largely underexplored. In late 2018, Westhaven completed a helicopter-
borne, high-resolution aeromagnetic survey over the entire property which identified several
prominent linear magnetic lows. Westhaven will be initiating a fully financed drill program at
Shovelnose starting in early June.”

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 tra nsportation 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. Talisker Resources and
Westhaven have a combined control of 86% of the SBGB (225,000ha). Any ground staked by Talisker
within 5 kilometres of Westhaven's existing projects will be subject to a 2.5% NSR. In addition ,
Westhaven has a 30 -day Right of First Refusal (ROFR) for a three -year per iod on any of Talisker’s
properties outside this 5-kilometre radius.
