WESTHAVEN DISCOVERS 3RD VEIN ZONE, INTERSECTING 7.11 METRES OF 9.42 G/T GOLD
AND 69.36 G/T SILVER AT SHOVELNOSE
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Vancouver, B.C. – August 27th, 2019 – Westhaven Ventures Inc. (TSX-V:WHN) is pleased to report
drill results from its ongoing drill campaign at 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.
Westhaven has discovered a 3 rd Vein Zone at Shovelnose which contains high -grade gold and silver.
The new zone lies below and to the northeast of the 2 nd Vein Zone, occurring 20 -60 metres down-
section. The 1st and 2nd Vein Zones continue to intersect high-grade gold, as detailed below.
Highlights of the most recent results include:
• SN19-15: (100.50 – 110.00m) 9.50 metres (m) of 4.21 g/t gold (Au) and 14.56 g/t silver (Ag) in the
1st Vein Zone.
(122.00 – 135.50m) 13.50m of 8.84 g/t Au and 53.17 g/t Ag, including (125.25 – 126.10m) 0.85m of
109.00 g/t Au and 622 g/t Ag in the 1st Vein Zone.
(253.55 – 266.00m) 12.45m of 5.84 g/t Au and 2.11 g/t Ag in 2nd Vein Zone.
(370.92 – 378.03m) 7.11m of 9.42 g/t Au and 69.36 g/t Ag, including (375.10 – 376.30m) 1.20m of
36.80 g/t Au and 259.00 g/t Ag in the newly discovered 3rd Vein Zone.
• SN19-12: (227.00 – 344.00m) 117.00m of 1.23 g/t Au and 3.58 g/t Ag, including (338.00 – 344.00m)
6.00m of 4.65 g/t Au and 4.03 g/t Ag in the 2nd Vein Zone.
• SN19-13: (69.00 – 118.00m) 49.00m of 1.33 g/t Au and 17.99 g/t Ag, including (110.00 – 115.00m)
5.00m of 4.37 g/t Au and 102.64 g/t Ag in the 1st Vein Zone.
• SN19-11: (117.00 – 118.00m) 1.00m of 521.00 g/t was previously reported in a news release dated
July 29th, 2019 as a standard fire assay. Since then screened metallics fire assa y has increased
this interval to 1.00m of 557.00 g/t Au.
Gareth Thomas, President & CEO of Westhaven stated, “We are very pleased with these assays as this
is now the third high-grade gold vein zone discovered within the last year. With each new high-grade
vein zone discovered, it increases the potential for sub stantial gold-silver resources to be defined at
Shovelnose. We continue to build on our understanding of these zones, the geologic model and the
property in general. As property wide exploration activities continue to unearth new areas of interest,
this understanding will assist in drill targeting in these areas, in addition to the South Zone.” Thomas
goes on to add, “We always believed there could be multiple high-grade gold veins at the South Zone.
TSX-V:WHN
These recent assays reinforce our beliefs.” Peter Fischl, Exploration Manager, stated, "The presence of
high-grade mineralization below 1100m elevation in the deeper Third Vein Zone broadens the vertical
range of such mineralization at South Zone.”

Qualified Person Statement
Peter Fischl, P.Geo., who is a Qualified Person within the context of National Instrument 43-101 has
read and takes responsibility for this release.
QA/QC
Core samples were prepared using the PREP-31 package in ALS’s Kamloops facility each core sample
is crushed to better than 70 % passing a 2 mm (Tyler 9 mesh, US Std. No.10) screen. A split of 250 g is
taken and pulverized to better than 85 % passing a 75 micron (Tyler 200 mesh, US Std. No. 200) screen.
0.75g of this pulverized split is digested by Four Acid and analyzed via ICP -MS (method code ME -
MS61m (+Hg)), which reports a 49-element suite of elements. All samples are analyzed by Fire Assay
with an AES f inish, method code Au -ICP21 (30g sample size). Additional Au screening is performed
using ALS’s Au -SCR24 method, select samples are dry screened to 100 micron. A duplicate 50g fire
assay is conducted on the undersized fraction as well as an assay on the en tire oversize fraction. Total
Au content, individual assays and weight fractions are reported. All analytical and assay procedures
are conducted in ALS’s North Vancouver facility. A QA/QC program included laboratory and field
standards inserted every 25 sa mples. At least one field blank is inserted in every batch of 25 samples,
with additional blanks inserted following samples with visible gold.

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