[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 29, 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 of the most recent results include: Hole SN19-10 returned 52.22 metres (m) of 5.13 g/t gold (Au) and 17.32 g/t silver (Ag), including 18.50m of 11.39 g/t Au and 40.21 g/t Ag in Vein Zone 2. Hole SN19-10 returned 43.50m of 1.98 g/t Au and 7.78 g/t Ag, including 6.48m of 6.81 g/t Au and 23.10 g/t Ag in Vein Zone 1. Hole SN19-11 returned 2.98m of 176.33 g/t Au and 131.43 g/t Ag, including 1.00m of 521 g/t Au and 381 g/t Ag in Vein Zone 1. Hole SN19-11 returned 17.30m of 2.10 g/t Au and 11.74 g/t Ag, including 7.94m of 3.19 g/t Au and 17.04 g/t Ag in Vein Zone 1. Gareth Thomas, President & CEO of Westhaven stated, “The high-grade gold intercepts in Vein Zone 2 extend the scope of expanding the South Zone. Drilling continues to explore the extent and demonstrate the continuity of two parallel vein zones approximately 125 metres apart. The goal of the current drill program is to keep extending these parallel zones, along with the strike length, and to target the preferred horizons where the gold precipitates out. The summer drill program, employing two rigs, is ongoing and 12 holes have been completed totaling approximately 5,000 metres. Assays will be released regularly as the program progresses.\" Peter Fischl, Exploration Manager, goes on to add, \"Hole SN19-10 confirms the potential for bonanza grades in Vein Zone 2. Such grades were first encountered in Zone 2 last year in hole SN18-18. Hole SN19-10 also indicates that significant gold grades can occur over broader widths, like those encountered in Vein Zone 1 as seen in hole SN18-15.
