[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 27, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westhaven Ventures Inc. (TSX-V:WHN) is pleased to report drill results from its ongoing drill campaign at its 15,542 hectare Shovelnose gold property, located within the prospective Spences Bridge Gold Belt (SBGB), which borders the Coquihalla Highway 30 kilometres south of Merritt, British Columbia. Westhaven has discovered a 3rd Vein Zone at Shovelnose which contains high-grade gold and silver. The new zone lies below and to the northeast of the 2nd Vein Zone, occurring 20-60 metres down-section. The 1st and 2nd Vein Zones continue to intersect high-grade gold, as detailed below. Highlights of the most recent results include: SN19-15: (100.50 – 110.00m) 9.50 metres (m) of 4.21 g/t gold (Au) and 14.56 g/t silver (Ag) in the 1st Vein Zone.(122.00 – 135.50m) 13.50m of 8.84 g/t Au and 53.17 g/t Ag, including (125.25 – 126.10m) 0.85m of 109.00 g/t Au and 622 g/t Ag in the 1st Vein Zone.(253.55 – 266.00m) 12.45m of 5.84 g/t Au and 2.11 g/t Ag in 2nd Vein Zone.(370.92 – 378.03m) 7.11m of 9.42 g/t Au and 69.36 g/t Ag, including (375.10 – 376.30m) 1.20m of 36.80 g/t Au and 259.00 g/t Ag in the newly discovered 3rd Vein Zone. SN19-12: (227.00 – 344.00m) 117.00m of 1.23 g/t Au and 3.58 g/t Ag, including (338.00 – 344.00m) 6.00m of 4.65 g/t Au and 4.03 g/t Ag in the 2nd Vein Zone. SN19-13: (69.00 – 118.00m) 49.00m of 1.33 g/t Au and 17.99 g/t Ag, including (110.00 – 115.00m) 5.00m of 4.37 g/t Au and 102.64 g/t Ag in the 1st Vein Zone. SN19-11: (117.00 – 118.00m) 1.00m of 521.00 g/t was previously reported in a news release dated July 29th, 2019 as a standard fire assay. Since then screened metallics fire assay has increased this interval to 1.00m of 557.00 g/t Au. Gareth Thomas, President & CEO of Westhaven stated, “We are very pleased with these assays as this is now the third high-grade gold vein zone discovered within the last year. With each new high-grade vein zone discovered, it increases the potential for substantial gold-silver resources to be defined at Shovelnose. We continue to build on our understanding of these zones, the geologic model and the property in general. As property wide exploration activities continue to unearth new areas of interest, this understanding will assist in drill targeting in these areas, in addition to the South Zone.” Thom...
