[{"type":"text","content":"\n\nVANCOUVER, Dec. 3, 2014 /CNW/ - Westhaven Ventures Inc. (TSX-V:WHN) is pleased to provide assay results from a recently completed drill program at its 15,322 hectare BEN property, located approximately 50 km north of Williams Lake, B.C. The drill program consisted of 9 holes, totaling 930 metres of diamond drilling, as a follow-up to previous drilling reported in the news release dated October 7, 2014. \n\nHighlights from the program include:\n\n\nHole BN14-16 intersected 19.7 metres of 0.28% Nickel (Ni) and 0.012% Cobalt (Co) starting from bedrock surface \nHole BN14-19 intersected 153.7 metres of 0.18% Ni and 0.010% Co starting from bedrock surface \nHole BN14-22 intersected 57.7 metres of 0.21% Ni and 0.011% Co \nHole BN14-23 intersected 106.6 metres of 0.18% Ni and 0.010% Co\nThis most recent phase of widely spaced drilling, in several separate areas, strengthens management's belief that large scale tonnage potential exists on this easily accessible and well situated property. A drill location map can be found on Westhaven's website at http://westhavenventures.com/_resources/maps/airborne_magnetics.png\n\nAll drill holes targeted strong magnetic anomalies delineated by a recently completed 122 line kilometre ground magnetic survey. Drill holes BN14-15 and BN14-16 were designed to test the near surface projection of the Skelton zone along strike from hole BN13-03 that intersected 70.6 metres containing 0.31% nickel and 0.012% cobalt. Holes BN14-17 and BN14-18 tested the eastern extension of the magnetic anomaly 300 metres to the east.\n\nBN14-19, located approximately 6 kilometres to the south of the Skelton zone, tested the Southern lobe, a magnetic target 800 x 850 metres in area. Drilling intersected highly serpentinized ultramafic rocks from bedrock surface to 186 metres depth containing 153 metres grading 0.18% Ni and 0.010% Co that remains open in all directions. BN14-20 and BN14-21 tested the Ring zone, a large 1,500 metre diameter serpentine ring dyke located 2.2 kilometres northeast from BN14-19. BN14-22 and BN14-23 tested the Northern lobe, a 4 kilometre long northwest trending magnetic anomaly located 700 metres north of BN14-21. \n\nEvery drill hole intersected shallow dipping bodies of magnetite-rich serpentinized ultramafics containing nickel-sulphide mineralization. A summary of notable ...
