[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 22, 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: SN19-02 (130.11-148.00m): 17.89 metres(m) of 3.70 g/t gold (Au) and 32.64 g/t silver (Ag)incl: 7.85m of 7.00 g/t Au and 59.13 g/t Ag(174.94-175.44m): 0.50m of 13.65 g/t Au and 36.50 g/t Ag SN19-03 (44.00-49.00m): 5.00m of 1.60 g/t Au and 6.66 g/t Ag(92.00–93.00m): 1.00m of 3.52 g/t Au and 2.90 g/t Ag SN19-04 (246.27-266.52m): 20.25m of 1.02 g/t Au and 9.98 g/t Agincl: 4.00m of 2.52 g/t Au and 31.15 g/t Ag SN19-05 (156.04-184.76m): 28.72m of 2.97 g/t Au and 13.68 g/t Agincl: 15.48m of 4.77 g/t Au and 21.77 g/t Agincl: 6.48m of 8.55 g/t Au and 38.55 g/t Agincl: 1.55m of 32.60 g/t Au and 130.68 g/t Ag The program is ongoing and currently drilling SN19-07, which is a step out ~70m to the southeast of SN18-15. SN19-08 will be a ~200 metre step out to the northeast of SN18-19. Although SN18-19 hit anomalous gold values (56m of 0.14 g/t Au), Management believes the high grade Zone 1 vein trend is offset due to faulting in this locality and SN19-08 will target the favourable mineralization horizon. *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, \"Westhaven’s inaugural 2019 drill program at Shovelnose continues to expand on the high-grade gold South Zone discovery. Currently the drill is moving southeast along strike from hole SN18-15 (46.20m of 8.95 g/t Au) with hole SN19-06 (~40m southeast of SN18-15) successfully intersecting Zone 1 veining (assays pending). Westhaven will be expanding from one drill to two drills in the early summer as recent drilling and geophysics have located multiple high-priority targets.\" Peter Fischl, Exploration Manager, goes on to add,...
