[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 18, 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. Highlights: SN19-01: (154.34 – 167.00m) 12.66 metres (m) of 39.31 g/t gold (Au) and 133.11 g/t silver (Ag).(89.00 – 92.00m) 3.00m of 4.65 g/t Au and 10.86 g/t Ag. (95.20 – 154.34m) 59.14m of 0.43 g/t Au and 2.79 g/t Ag. (167.00 – 177.00m) 10.00m of 2.26 g/t Au and 15.13 g/t Ag. SN19-02 (assays pending): Approximately 137.00m to 177.00m, intercept of rhyolite breccia with sections of banded quartz, ginguro, pyrite and visible gold in veins. The program is ongoing and currently drilling SN19-03, which is a step out ~70m to the northeast of SN18-18, targeting the 2nd vein zone as previously reported. *Drilling to date is limited so true widths cannot be definitively determined. However, based on the geology of the vein zone with a steep dip to the west, true widths are estimated to be about 80-90% of reported interval lengths. Please see the plan map and cross section below. For a table of assays from SN19-01 please visit: http://westhavenventures.com/projects/shovelnose-gold/details/ Gareth Thomas, President & CEO of Westhaven stated, “SN19-01 contains the highest gram-metres (497.66 g-m) intercept to date on Shovelnose. It was drilled at 50-metre strike spacing between hole SN18-14 (435.36 g-m) and hole SN 18-15 (413.49 g-m). South Zone drilling continues to define the extent and demonstrate the continuity of this gold mineralized vein system. Drill intercepts of this grade and thickness strengthen management's belief that we're dealing with a large, high-grade gold system. The drill program is ongoing and all additional assays will be released regularly as the program progresses.\" Peter Fischl, Exploration Manager, goes on to add, \"Hole SN19-01 successfully tested the continuity of higher grade gold mineralization hosted in quartz-adularia veins first drilled last year at Shovelnose in the South Zone. In addition, lower grade gold mineralization has been identified in the hanging wall (0.61 g/t Au and 3.07 g/t Ag over 65.34m) and f...
