# Westhaven Reports Final 2025 Drilling Results From the Shovelnose Gold Project, British Columbia, Including 8.05m Grading 6.18 g/t Au and 89.7 g/t Ag at South Zone Deposit Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/westhaven-reports-final-2025-drilling-results-from-the-shovelnose-gold-project-b--fa6447b4-5d3f-4192-aebb-fbb4130919af Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/WHN/news/8893141148291836/westhaven-reports-final-2025-drilling-results-from-the-shovelnose-gold-project-b Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-01-26T12:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Westhaven Gold Corp. - Ticker: WHN - Exchange: TSX - Region: British Columbia - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-15 07:06:20 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Westhaven Gold Corp. reported final 2025 drilling results from the Shovelnose Gold Project, highlighted by an 8.05m intercept of 6.18 g/t Au and 89.7 g/t Ag at the South Zone. The program also identified new structural zones and breccia units that suggest potential for unrecognized epithermal vein systems. Reasoning: The results provide high-grade infill data for the South Zone and significant structural/geochemical indicators for new epithermal targets, supporting district-scale potential. - Positive factor: High-grade gold intercept \(6.18 g/t Au\) in South Zone - Positive factor: Discovery of new northwest-trending structural zones - Positive factor: Identification of distinctive breccia unit with adularia alteration - Positive factor: Strong financial backing via Dundee Corporation earn-in - Negative factor: Low-grade exploration intercepts in some holes Facts used in scoring: 8 ## Classification and evidence No classification tags are available. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (8) ### SN25-442 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/westhaven-reports-final-2025-drilling-results-from-the-shovelnose-gold-project-b--fa6447b4-5d3f-4192-aebb-fbb4130919af#fact-drill-facts-0) Shovelnose · gold #### Identity - Hole ID: SN25-442 - Project: Shovelnose - Commodity: gold - Region: canada\_bc - Reported Region: canada\_bc - Ticker: WHN #### Geometry - Grade: 1.13 - Grade Unit: g/t - Intercept: 70.79 m - From: 118.2 m - To: 188.99 m - Intercept Depth: 118.2 m #### Classification - Deposit Type: epithermal - Program: resource - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: SN25-442:118.2-188.99 - Mining Method: underground #### Location - Location: South Zone - Loc.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
