Vancouver, B.C. - October 21st, 2015 - Westhaven Ventures Inc. (TSX-V:WHN) is pleased to announce that it has paid Berkwood Resources Ltd., a TSX-V listed company, the final C$80,000 plus 500,000 Westhaven shares to acquire 70% interest in the 10,871 hectare Prospect Valley gold property, located within the prospective Spences Bridge Gold Belt (SBGB), approximately 30 km west of Merritt, British Columbia.
 
With the addition of the Prospect Valley gold property Westhaven now has over 28,000 hectares within the prospective SBGB, which is situated within a geological and structural setting similar to other significant epithermal gold-silver systems. It is close to existing transportation and power infrastructure allowing for cost effective exploration.

History of the Spences Bridge Gold Belt (SBGB)

Despite historical placer mining in the area, the SBGB remains relatively underexplored. Tributaries to the Fraser and Thompson Rivers located in the SBGB area saw considerable exploration in the mid-1800€?s when placer gold findings initiated the Fraser River gold rush. In November 2005, Strongbow announced drilling results on their Skoonka Creek property on the northern part of the SBGB, that were highlighted by an intersection grading 20.2 grams per tonne gold over 12.8 metres confirming the presence of high grade epithermal gold mineralization in the SBGB (see Strongbow press releases from November 25, 2005). Westhaven has been working on the SBGB since 2011.
