[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 22, 2021) - GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) (FSE: 4QS) (\"GoldHaven\" or the \"Company\") reports that GoldHaven crews are finalizing preparations for Rio Loa to commence GOH's 5000m Phase I drill program. GOH crews are also mobilizing equipment to conduct a trenching program at the Coya, Alicia and Roma projects to include rock sampling and geophysics. Trenching conducted at Rio Loa in December 2020 exposed additional hydrothermal breccias within the Miocene age basement volcanics, volcanic breccias, epiclastic units with arenaceous sediments and dacitic domes, below a thin cover of young post-mineral volcanics. Opaline silica and minor kaolinite clay, typically associated with the steam heated alteration zone were also found within the newly discovered hydrothermal breccia zones. These hydrothermal breccias are important as they form the host rocks to the gold and silver mineralization in deposits such as the Gold Field's Salares Norte project located 25km to the north of the Rio Loa property. Figure 1 Further south, our Coya project is an epithermal high sulfidation project in close proximity to both Arqueros (1.9M ounces) and La Coipa (6.2M ounces). Shallow colluvial cover is present over most of the project; however, there are areas with abundant float and sub-crop exhibiting vuggy silica and silicified breccias with high gold and silver values. Historical sampling on the property by a previous tenement holder yielded rock chip samples with gold values of 23.9 g/t, 5.39g/t and two further samples with the maximum values of 764 g/t gold and 719 g/t Ag respectively. (Highlights of a 796 rock chip sampling program conducted in 2017-2018 *) *The report refers to assay values but does not provide location maps for the samples; Kingsgate Quarterly Report 30 June 2018. Two induced polarization (IP) lines were surveyed in 2019 by Argali Geophysics and yielded a strongly resistive cap over an area of abundant silicified hydrothermal breccia float and vuggy silica. This could represent a Au-Ag mineralized sub-horizontal lithologic replacement style mineralization similar to nearby deposits. A shallow chargeability zone coincident with the high resistivity cap may indicate disseminated sulfides in an intensely silicified rock. Underlying low chargeabilities ar...
