Westhaven Gold Corp. (TSXV:WHN) has obtained high-grade drill results from its ongoing, fully-financed drill campaign at its 100% owned 17,623-hectare Shovelnose gold property in British Columbia.
“Hole SNR21-55 (8.00m of 20.22 g/t gold and 83.97 g/t Ag) is a completely new high-grade gold discovery within Vein Zone 2 at the Alpine Zone,” President and CEO, Gareth Thomas, said.
“This hole is approximately 500 metres from previous high-grade intercepts within Vein Zone 2 at the South Zone. This is very exciting as it remains open to the northwest and gives us a whole new area to focus on.”
Recent Drilling Highlights:
- SNR21-55 (Alpine : 44.00-52.00m) 8.00 metres (m) of 20.22 g/t gold (Au) and 83.97 g/t silver (Ag), including 3.13m of 45.23 g/t Au and 195.64 g/t Ag.
- (203.00-220.00m) 17.00m of 1.02 g/t Au and 1.24 g/t Ag including 3.00m of 5.25 g/t Au and 5.44 g/t Ag.
- SNR21-54 (Alpine : 212.48-240.00m) 27.52m of 0.68 g/t Au and 1.04 g/t Ag, including 3.00m of 4.84 g/t Au and 6.16 g/t Ag.
- SNR21-53 (Alpine : 27.76-101.00m) 73.24m of 0.39g/t Au and 2.91 g/t Ag, including 1.98m of 7.22 g/t Au and 15.34 g/t Ag.
Exploration Manager, Peter Fischl, said Hole SNR21-55 is amongst a group of 17 in-fill holes located in the north-western part of the currently defined in-pit resource that have not been incorporated into the current resource estimate of 1.1 million ounces gold equivalent.
“Additional step outs are being planned to follow-up this high-grade intersection in hole SNR21-55.
“This gold-bearing vein at the top of Vein Zone 2 remains open to the northwest. The shallow nature of this mineralisation will contribute to the open-pit potential for this part of the Alpine target area.”
