WESTHAVEN DRILLS 52.22 METRES OF 5.13 G/T GOLD IN SECOND VEIN ZONE AT
SHOVELNOSE
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Vancouver, B.C. – July 29th, 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.
Highlights of the most recent results include:
• Hole SN19-10 returned 52.22 metres (m) of 5.13 g/t gold (Au) and 17.32 g/t silver (Ag), including
18.50m of 11.39 g/t Au and 40.21 g/t Ag in Vein Zone 2.
• Hole SN19-10 returned 43.50m of 1.98 g/t Au and 7.78 g/t Ag, including 6.48m of 6.81 g/t Au
and 23.10 g/t Ag in Vein Zone 1.
• Hole SN19-11 returned 2.98m of 176.33 g/t Au and 131.43 g/t Ag, including 1.00m of 521 g/t Au
and 381 g/t Ag in Vein Zone 1.
• Hole SN19-11 returned 17.30m of 2.10 g/t Au and 11.74 g/t Ag, including 7.94m of 3.19 g/t Au
and 17.04 g/t Ag in Vein Zone 1.
Gareth Thomas, President & CEO of Westhaven stated, “ The high-grade gold intercepts in Vein Zone
2 extend the scope of expanding the South Zone. Drilling continues to explore the extent and
demonstrate the continuity of two parallel vein zones approximately 125 metres apart. The goal of the
current drill program is to keep extending these parallel zones , along with the strike length, and to
target the preferred horizons where the gold precipitates out. The summer drill program, employing
two rigs, is ongoing and 12 holes have been completed totaling approximately 5,000 metres. A ssays
will be released regularly as the program progresses."
Peter Fischl, Exploration Manager, goes on to add, "Hole SN19 -10 confirms the potential for bonanza
grades in Vein Zone 2. Such grades were first encountered in Zone 2 last year in hole SN18 -18. Hole
SN19-10 also indicates that significant gold grades can occur over broader width s, like those
encountered in Vein Zone 1 as seen in hole SN18-15.

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.
