VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westhaven Gold Corp. (TSX-V: WHN) (OTCQB: WTHVF) (FRA: 1W5) (“Westhaven” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the completion of 117-hole (37,242m) resource infill drilling program at the South Zone gold and silver deposit on the Shovelnose property in southern British Columbia. Exploration drilling will continue through to mid-December, with six drills operating on the property to support exploration, geotechnical and hydrogeological programs ahead of the South Zone pre-feasibility study (“PFS”), targeted for completion in the second half of 2027.
Ken Armstrong, President and CEO of Westhaven, commented:
“The latest infill results continue to demonstrate the strength and continuity of high-grade mineralization within the South Zone deposit, highlighted by drill hole SNR26-149 which has returned 23.00m grading 6.69 g/t Au and 42 g/t Ag and drill hole SNR26-125 which has returned 5.53m grading 16.51 g/t Au and 134 g/t Ag. With resource infill drilling now complete, our focus is shifting to exploration drilling and the ongoing geotechnical and hydrogeological work required to advance the South Zone PFS. At the same time, revisions to the geological and mineralization models are well underway and will support an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for the South Zone, which will form the basis for PFS mine planning which remains on schedule.”
