Westhaven Finishes Drilling at Shovelnose Gold Project

Westhaven Ventures Inc. (TSXV:WHN) announced that it has finished drilling at its British Columbia-based Shovelnose gold project.

As quoted in the press release:

The program consisted of 6 drill holes, totaling 662 metres of diamond drilling. Five holes targeted the Tower Zone where previous drilling encountered 50.4 metres of 0.54g/t Au (Gold) with 4.77g/t Ag (Silver) and one hole targeted the MIK Zone following up a historical drill intersection of 4.1m grading 1.2g/t Au.

Drilling intersected zones of silicified heterolithic breccia with discontinuous broken grey banded quartz veins to, white quartz veins and fine grain disseminated pyrite. Silicified fragments of grey-black banded quartz veins and quartz flooding were also encountered. Drilling was directed to a recent reinterpretation of historical drilling suggesting the mineralized zones are dipping to the south. All samples have now been submitted to ALS Minerals and results are pending.
