Overview

SBGB (Spences Bridge Gold Belt)

NI43-101 Technical Report on SBGB Group of WHN Gold Properties (30 MB)

The SBGB is a 110 km northwest-trending belt of intermediate to felsic volcanic rocks dominated by the Cretaceous Spences Bridge group. These relatively underexplored volcanic rocks are highly prospective for epithermal style gold mineralization.

Westhaven controls ~60,950 hectares (~609.5 square kilometres) with four 100% owned gold properties spread along this underexplored belt.

• Shovelnose
• Prospect Valley
• Skoonka
• Skoonka North

Given the projects proximity to large producing mines, highways, power, rail and expertise, exploration costs are in the lowest quartile.

GEOLOGY: Geological and structural setting similar to other significant epithermal gold-silver districts

PROXIMITY: Close to large, producing mines

LOCATION: 3 hour drive from Vancouver, easily road accessible, close to existing infrastructure allowing for cost effective exploration

SBGB – History
The discovery of coarse placer gold at the confluence of the Nicoamen and Thompson Rivers in 1857 sparked a gold rush that a year later drew an estimated 20,000 prospectors. This initiated the Fraser River gold rush. In 2005, Strongbow Exploration drilled 20.2 g/t goldover 12.8 metres confirming the presence of high grade epithermal gold mineralization in the SBGB.
