Westhaven Gold – Ongoing 50,000m Drill Program At The Shovelnose Gold-Silver Project In British Columbia

Ken Armstrong, CEO of Westhaven Gold Corp. (TSX-V: WHN) (OTCQB: WTHVF) (FRA: 1W5), joins us for a corporate update on the management and board refresh from 2024-2025, the transformational strategic earn-in agreement with Dundee Corp initially announced in December of 2025, and the ongoing 50,000m infill and expansion exploration program at the Shovelnose Project in British Columbia.  We also discuss the development work on tap along the pathway towards a Pre-Feasibility Study and then Feasibility study.

Westhaven is a gold and silver focused exploration and development company targeting low sulphidation, high-grade, epithermal style gold and silver mineralization within the Spences Bridge Gold Belt in southern British Columbia. Westhaven controls ~60,263 hectares within four properties spread along this underexplored belt.

The Shovelnose gold and silver project is the most advanced property, with a 2025 updated Preliminary Economic Assessment that validates the project’s potential as a robust, low cost and high margin 11-year underground gold mining opportunity with average annual life-of-mine production of 56,000 ounces gold and 313,000 ounces silver with a CDN$454 million after-tax net present value (at a 6% discount rate) and 43.2% IRR (base case parameters of US$2,400 per ounce gold, US$28 per ounce silver and CDN/US$ exchange rate of CDN$1.00=US$0.72).1

On February 23, 2026, Westhaven closed a strategic earn-in agreement with Dundee Corporation, whereby Dundee may earn up to a 60% interest in Westhaven's four Spences Bridge Gold Belt properties through up to CDN$85,000,000 in staged project expenditures. Under the first phase, Dundee has committed a minimum of CDN$30,000,000, inclusive of a fully funded 50,000m drill program and pre-feasibility work at Shovelnose. The agreement allows for the accelerated exploration and evaluation of one of Canada's most compelling, undeveloped, high-margin gold and silver assets.

Assay results that have been coming in from the ongoing 35,000m four-rig resource infill drilling program at the South Zone gold and silver deposit on the Shovelnose gold property, continue to show excellent continuity of mineralization in each of Vein Zones 1, 2 and 3.  A fifth rig has been added for the ongoing 15,000m exploration drill program that will run through December.
