[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westhaven Ventures Inc. (TSX-V:WHN) is pleased to report drill results from its recently completed 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. The program consisted of 5 holes totaling 2,183 metres of diamond drilling. Also included are assay results from two holes (SN18-16 & 17) drilled previously. Highlights: SN18-16 returned 2.38 metres (m) of 16.80 g/t gold (Au) and 40.90 g/t silver (Ag). SN18-18 returned 13.67m of 4.29 g/t Au and 21.87 g/t Ag, including 3.27m of 15.35 g/t Au and 75.72 g/t Ag.○ 8.00m of 6.81 g/t Au and 22.29 g/t Ag, including 2.20m of 18.79 g/t Au and 23.57 g/t Ag.○ 2.85m of 5.54 g/t Au and 63.51 g/t Ag.○ 0.77m of 9.18 g/t Au and 79.70 g/t Ag. SN18-21 returned 12.90m of 12.11 g/t Au and 94.31 g/t Ag, including 1.40m of 92.80 g/t Au and 641.54 g/t Ag. SN18-22 returned 5.35m of 8.79 g/t Au and 32.34 g/t Ag. Gareth Thomas, President & CEO of Westhaven, stated, \"The latest phase of exploration drilling is highly encouraging. Assay results demonstrate that the newly discovered second vein zone contains high-grade gold. This second vein zone is significant because it substantially increases the tonnage potential for the South Zone. Westhaven is planning to initiate a fully-financed drill program in February.\" Peter Fischl, Exploration Manager adds, “This follow-up drill program tested the strike extension and vertical extent of the auriferous quartz veins first encountered in holes SN18-14 and SN18-15. Drilling cut higher-grade gold mineralization at shallower elevations in two subparallel zones of quartz veins spaced 100 to 150m apart (Zones 1 and 2). Continuity to the southeast is affected by cross-faulting. Ground based geophysical surveys which can detect both vein zones in the subsurface will be extended along strike to confirm continuity of the mineralized veins. Follow-up drilling will test for strike extensions to the south and for additional rhyolite-hosted vein zones to the north.” 2018 Fall Drill Summary Drill hole SN18-18, an upper cut of SN18-14 (17.77m of 24.5 g/t Au, 107.92 g/t Ag), extended Zone 1 up-dip from...
