Vancouver, B.C. - September 2, 2014 - Westhaven Ventures Inc. (TSX-V:WHN) is pleased to announce drilling has begun on its 18,412 hectare Shovelnose gold property, located within the prospective Spences Bridge Gold Belt (SBGB), approximately 30 km south of Merritt, British Columbia.

The drill program will consist of approximately 600 metres of diamond drilling with the goal to further expand and outline the extent of the newly recognized epithermal gold system present on the property. Drilling to date has expanded a highly anomalous silicified zone or cap when a sub horizontal near surface zone grading 0.54 g/t Au and 4.77 g/t Ag over 50.4 metres, which includes 13.7 metres grading 0.91 g/t Au and 6.65 g/t Ag, was intersected in 2012.

Shovelnose Gold Property Overview

To date, 20 drill holes (2 were abandoned in overburden) have been diamond drilled for a cumulative total of 2,427 metres, in three separate target areas. Gold and silver mineralization, associated with quartz veining and silicification, has been encountered in all 18 holes. In addition, there is evidence of a significant mineralized alteration system within the property where float samples grading 119 g/t Au (Gold) and 273 g/t Ag (Silver), veins in trenching grading 66 g/t Au and wide low grade alteration zones typical of epithermal gold deposits have been discovered.

The 18,412 ha Shovelnose gold property is a gold-silver epithermal-style exploration target that covers prospective stratigraphy in the southern Spences Bridge Gold Belt (SBGB), a 110 km northwest-trending belt of intermediate to felsic volcanic rocks of the Cretaceous Spences Bridge Group. Westhaven is currently working to earn up to a 70% interest in the property from Strongbow Exploration Inc., a TSX-V listed company.
