Corporate Update: Westhaven to Drill the Ben Gold Property

Vancouver, B.C. - September 17, 2013 - Westhaven Ventures Inc. (TSX-V:WHN) is pleased to provide the following corporate update, highlighting plans to drill the BEN gold property in the fall. In addition, a follow-up work program is scheduled to commence shortly on the Shovelnose gold property. 

Upcoming Exploration Plans:

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.

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.

BEN Gold Property Overview

The BEN property is located approximately 50 km north of Williams Lake, B.C. and is easily road accessible. It consists of mineral claims comprising approximately 14,576 hectares situated in the Cariboo Mining District of British Columbia. The property is in a favourable mining jurisdiction, home to several large development and production stage properties. Similarities exist between the Main Zone and major gold bearing areas in British Columbia including Atlin and the Bralorne gold camp. There is also similarity in alteration and structure with gold bearing areas of the Motherlode trend of Southern California. Westhaven can earn 100% interest in the property from a private optionor.
