# Westhaven Reports South Zone Resource Infill Drilling Continues to Confirm Continuity of High-Grade Gold and Silver Mineralization Including 27.51m Grading 14.47 g/t Au & 52 g/t Ag Shovelnose Gold Property, Southern British Columbia Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/westhaven-reports-south-zone-resource-infill-drilling-continues-to-confirm-conti--bd81dcb2-0ac8-4fad-b146-8721a23a31e7 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/WHN/news/6807761220129221/westhaven-reports-south-zone-resource-infill-drilling-continues-to-confirm-conti Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-07-28T11:00:00.000Z 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, Resource update - Extracted: 2026-09-15 06:33:39 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Westhaven Gold Corp. has reported high-grade gold and silver drill results from its South Zone infill program at the Shovelnose property. Notable intercepts include 27.51m at 14.47 g/t Au and a high-grade 0.52m interval at 200 g/t Au, confirming mineralization continuity and potential northern expansion. Reasoning: The release reports several high-grade gold and silver intercepts from an ongoing resource infill program, including a bonanza-grade 0.52m interval, which confirms continuity and potential expansion to the north. - Positive factor: High-grade gold and silver intercepts - Positive factor: Confirmation of continuity in Vein Zones 1 and 2 - Positive factor: Discovery of exceptional grades at the northern extent - Positive factor: Robust QA/QC disclosure - Negative factor: Apparent widths reported without specific true widths \(estimated at 70-80%\) Facts used in scoring: 10 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 0.52m at 200 g/t Au is exceptionally high grade. Evidence · text > 0.52m grading 200 g/t Au **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release details ALS laboratory, ISO 17025 accreditation, and specific QA/QC methods like blanks and standards. Evidence · text > ALS’s facilities are accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: The document explicitly states that reported intervals are downhole intersections, not true widths. Evidence · text > Reported interval includes... Assay intervals noted above represent downhole intersections, not true widths. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 10.
