LUNDIN MINING AND EURO SUN DISCLOSE PROPOSAL TO ACQUIRE NEVSUN RESOURCES
Lundin Mining Corp. and Euro Sun Mining Inc. have submitted a proposal to Nevsun Resources Ltd. to acquire all of Nevsun's outstanding common shares for approximately $1.5-billion. This proposal has been rejected by Nevsun. Lundin Mining's numerous attempts to engage Nevsun and propose a mutually beneficial transaction have been unsuccessful.
Working together, Lundin Mining and Euro Sun have identified a way to create significant value. Under the terms of the proposal, dated April 30, 2018, Nevsun shareholders would receive total consideration of $5 per Nevsun share consisting of: (i) $2 in cash financed by Lundin Mining; (ii) $2 in shares of Lundin Mining; plus (iii) $1 in shares of Euro Sun. The proposal would result in Lundin Mining owning the European assets of Nevsun, including the Timok project, and Euro Sun owning the rest of Nevsun, including the Bisha mine and Nevsun's cash balance.

The Trust Account will be pledged in favour of the Bondholders and the initial drawdown, as well as subsequent drawdowns, of the Bond Funds by the Corporation from the Trust Account to prescribed operating expense accounts will be subject to conditions precedent customary for these types of transactions. The conditions precedent for the initial drawdown of the Bond Funds include, but are not limited to, the following:

(j) the security package over all of the assets to be charged in connection with the bond offering, and any other senior secured obligations as contemplated in connection therewith, having been executed and rendered opposable to third parties.
The Bonds will be reimbursed, with accrued interest, from the Bond Funds in the event that the Corporation has not, prior to the date that is three (3) months from the Settlement Date (the "Long Stop Date"), met certain conditions precedent, including those enumerated in items (a), (b) (only with respect to 50% of such Stream Facility proceeds), (f) (to the extent applicable), (h), (i) (to the extent applicable) and (j).
Following the Long Stop Date, and upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the disbursement of funds, drawdowns may be made from the Trust Account subject to the following: (i) drawdown amounts will be limited to the aggregate amount of Project costs outstanding at the time plus Project costs falling due for payment over the next 60 days, (ii) each drawdown must be accompanied by a notice which, among other things, must be countersigned by an independent engineer confirming that the Project costs are associated with the Project and that the "cost-to-complete test" (i.e. the Corporation has sufficient funds available to achieve completion of the Project) has been satisfied, and (iii) a minimum of three drawdowns must be made over the 5-year term of the Bonds, provided that full draw down must be completed before June 2021.
The full text of the Bond Terms will be filed and available on the Corporation's corporate profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com following the Settlement Date and readers are urged to refer to the full text of the Bond Terms for all of the terms and conditions of the Bonds.

MASON RESOURCES REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2018 RESULTS
Mason Resources Corp. has released its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018. All figures are in United States dollars unless otherwise noted.
Q1 2018 highlights:
Net loss for the first quarter of 2018 was $300,000, which was a reduction of 57 per cent from the comparative period of 2017 ($700,000 net loss).
Operating cash outflow after working capital movements for Q1 2018 was $100,000, which was a reduction of 85 per cent from the comparative period of 2017 ($700,000 cash outflow).
The company's cash balance at March 31, 2018, was $7.1-million with no debt.
Outlook and strategy
Corporate
The company's corporate focus going forward will be to maximize market value through assessing and executing on options to move its Ann Mason copper-molybdenum porphyry project in Nevada forward, possibly including introducing one or more strategic partners. In addition, Mason is undertaking a process to prioritize and progress other growth strategies involving its Lordsburg copper-gold porphyry property in New Mexico and additional potential new exploration acquisitions. Fiscal responsibility, including restricting cash expenditures to value-adding activities, remains a high priority.
The company expects to spend between $1.2-million and $1.4-million for the 2018 year, which includes $400,000 for corporate costs, investor relations, and compliance and the balance related to the Ann Mason project and Lordsburg property.
Ann Mason project
The Ann Mason project is believed to be the fourth-largest undeveloped copper porphyry resource in Canada/United States and remains open in several directions. On May 10, 2017, Mason filed its National Instrument 43-101 technical report titled "2017 updated preliminary economic assessment on the Ann Mason project, Nevada, USA," on SEDAR. The company is currently evaluating options for its Ann Mason project, which may include optimizing certain aspects of the 2017 preliminary economic assessment, commencing a prefeasibility study and testing high-priority exploration targets with potential to provide alternative production options.
The company is targeting expenditures of between $700,000 and $900,000 for the 2018 year, including claim fees and payments, site maintenance and local administration costs.
Lordsburg property
The company is managing the costs associated with the Lordsburg property while management evaluates the best path forward to add value to the project. Expenditures for 2018 are mainly for claim fees and local administration costs. The company expects to spend approximately $100,000 for the 2018 year.
The company's first quarter 2018 unaudited consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis are available on SEDAR and on the company's website.
Summary of financial results
The company's Q1 2018 net loss of $300,000 included $200,000 of exploration costs and $300,000 of general and administration costs, which were partially offset by $200,000 foreign exchange gain.
Exploration expenses for Q1 2018 included costs of $100,000 relating to the Ann Mason project. Compared with the comparative 2017 and 2016 periods, the expenses were 17 per cent and 43 per cent lower, respectively, due to the moderation of exploration programs relating to the Ann Mason project since 2016. Exploration expenses relating to the Lordsburg property during these periods were minimal.
General and administrative costs in the first quarter of 2018 included costs of $200,000 related to administrative and executive services through the administrative services agreement with Entree Resources Ltd. The expenses in the current year are comparable with the comparative period in 2017 but are 32-per-cent higher than the comparative period in 2016 due to the expenses incurred under the ASA.
Qualified person
Robert Cinits, PGeo, Mason's chief operating officer, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 -- Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has approved the technical information in this release.
About Mason Resources Corp.

Gold and Technology Metals Miner 'Poised for the Next Stage'
Research Report
Source: Streetwise Reports (5/15/18)
In a May 4 research note, Analyst Tom Hayes with Edison reported that Alkane Resources Ltd. (ALK:ASX; ANLKY:OTCQX) saw "marked improvement" at its Tomingley gold operation in the most recent quarter, Q3 FY18.
The company generated operating cash flows of AU$21.2 million (AU$21.2M). It ended the quarter with AU$60.6M in cash and AU$8.4M in on-hand bullion.
Alkane produced 18,635 ounces of gold, which was in line with management's guidance and up 12% from Q2 FY18. Its all-in sustaining cost was down 9% from last quarter, at AU$962 per ounce. Gold sold at an average of AU$1,708 per ounce.
Looking forward, two significant catalysts are expected in the final quarter of FY18. One is Alkane's decision on how to extend mine life at Tomingley. "With open-pit operations due to naturally end as planned in Q1/19 (the July to September quarter of 2019), the focus is to decide on whether to invest in an underground phase or potentially revert to exploration and development of the proven prospective region surrounding Tomingley and Alkane's old Peak Hill gold mine," Hayes explained. Alkane would likely use its own cash for whatever approach it pursues.
The other catalyst is release of the final modular execution plan for Alkane's Dubbo project, which should outline the "exact operating cost structures and capital expenditure profile required to build out the project in stages," noted Hayes. Financing for Dubbo, which "stands alone in the mining industry as the only viable rare metal project," continues.
Positive for the Dubbo project is the various metals/minerals that would be mined there have had significant price increases, such as zirconium products, certain rare earth elements related to magnets, hafnium and ferro-niobium, Hayes pointed out. Prices have been driven up by supportive changes in their end markets, such as zircon supply shortages (affecting zirconium), a vanadium pentoxide price increase (pushing up ferro-niobium's price) and a muted global nuclear industry (buoying hafnium).
Edison values Dubbo at AU$0.90 per share on a FY19 basis, which is up from its FY18-based figure of AU$0.79 per share. As for Tomingley, the firm will revalue it once its future becomes clearer. Alkane is currently trading at around AU$0.30 per share.
mein absoluter Geduldstitel Alkane Resources mit Zahlen zum Q1 und Activity Report.
MarketCap 145 Mio AUD, Cash 69 Mio, laufende Goldmine, modulare STudie für das große Dubbo Projekt inkl. BFS soll im Mai vorgestellt werden, ich hoffe jetzt im gleichen Zug mit der Präsentation eines Investors oder Finanzierung, ansonsten glaube ich bald nicht mehr an eine Realisierung ..
Dubbo Projekt:
Alkane has completed its modular engineering studies and the board is in the process of verifying the financial assumptions associated with this body of work. The engineering confirms that the Dubbo Project can be successfully staged from a technical perspective, and that additional expansion trains can be added through modular expansion. A detailed announcement incorporating the updated financial modelling and update on key product segments is scheduled for release in May.
CORPORATE The Group’s cash and bullion position totalled A$69.0 million with A$60.6 million in cash and bullion on hand at fair value of A$8.4 million, an increase of A$11.2 million from the previous quarter. The Group is essentially debt free with only a small insurance premium funding facility in place (unamortised balance of $0.3 million at quarter end).

SWY - Stornoway loses $11-million in Q1 2018
2018-05-15 16:35 ET - News Release
Mr. Matt Manson reports
STORNOWAY REPORTS FY2018 FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
Stornoway Diamond Corp. has released financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
Revenues and financing expenses quoted herein reflect the initial application of international financial reporting standards 15 -- Revenue from Contracts with Customers, effective as of Jan. 1, 2018. During the quarter, the corporation also adopted IFRS 9 -- Financial Instruments.
Quarter ended March 31, 2018, highlights:
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, Stornoway reported a net loss of $11-million (one cent per share on a basic and fully diluted basis), compared with a net loss of $1.2-million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 (nil per share basic and one cent fully diluted). Adjusted net loss for the quarter was $14.0-million and $2.5-million in the corresponding period of 2017.
During the quarter, three tender sales totalling 399,135 carats were completed for gross proceeds of $56.6-million at an average price of $112 (U.S.) per carat ($142 per carat). Revenue recognized was $55.9-million derived from the sale of 271,518 carats of run of mine production in two tender sales at an average price of $106 (U.S.) per carat ($135 per carat), and the sale of 42,663 carats of incidental production in one out of tender contract sale at an average price of $19 (U.S.) per carat ($24 per carat). Revenue from the third tender sale of the year, which consist of 127,616 carats of run-of-mine production sold at an average price of $123 (U.S.) per carat ($156 per carat), will be recognized in the second quarter.
During the quarter, a 37-carat type II-a, D colour, internally flawless stone was recovered and sold in the third tender sale for $1.7-million ($45,000 per carat), or $1.3-million (U.S.) ($36,000 (U.S.) per carat), the highest price achieved for an individual stone from the Renard mine to date.
Diamond processing comprises 285,851 carats recovered from 562,520 tonnes of ore at a grade of 51 carats per hundred tonnes. Grade and carat recoveries reflect the processing of lower-grade production ore and ore stockpiles as the Renard mine transitions from open pit to underground mining. In response, full-year production guidance has been reduced to between 1.35 million and 1.40 million carats from 1.6 million carats, while full-year guidance for carats sold has been reduced to between 1.20 million and 1.25 million carats from 1.6 million carats.
Mining in the Renard 2-3 and Renard 65 open pits comprises 424,923 tonnes, with 202,986 tonnes of ore extracted. By the end of the quarter, mining in the Renard 2 open pit had been completed, and a progressively higher proportion of ore was being derived from the Renard 2 underground mine. Underground mining during the quarter consisted of 168,906 tonnes, with 116,798 tonnes of ore extracted.
Commissioning of the new ore-waste sorting circuit at Renard began on schedule prior to the end of the quarter. Equipment commissioning commenced on March 25, 2018, with ore processing achieved on a consistent basis by the end of April. The volume and quality of ore-waste segregation has been positive, and initial diamond recovery results have been encouraging.
Cash operating costs per tonne processed were $50.70 per tonne ($99.77 per carat) and capital expenditures were $31.1-million.
For the first quarter, the corporation reported adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $7.4-million, or 19 per cent of adjusted revenues, compared with $21.3-million, or 44 per cent of revenues, for the corresponding quarter of 2017.
At quarter-end, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments stood at $51.6-million and available liquidity to the corporation, including available credit facilities, stood at $71.9-million.
Matt Manson, president and chief executive officer, commented: "Our first quarter results reflect the transitional nature of our business, as we move from open pit to underground mining. During this transition, carat production is being negatively impacted by the processing of the lower-grade ore currently available to us in our stockpiles and in the first underground stopes. This has prompted us to reduce our full-year production and sales guidance. At the same time, however, we have been encouraged by strong pricing in the diamond market, with first quarter prices trending well ahead of those achieved in 2017, and our operating and capital expenditures are within plan. We are also encouraged by the progress of our underground mining and the initial results from our ore-waste sorting, which is giving some very early indications of improved diamond recoveries and exceeding our expectations in terms of the volume and quality of the material sorted." Mr. Manson continued: "By the end of the second quarter, the Renard mine will have fully transitioned to underground mining supported by ore sorting and major capital expenditures will be behind us. This will be the character of our business going forward, with growing production driven by increasing grade and excess processing capacity. All of this has been achieved with the capital structure and financial liquidity established in our original 2014 construction funding. As we move forward, we are in discussions with our lenders to amend the terms of certain debt instruments to better suit our working capital requirements as an operator and in support of the further growth of the business."
SWY - der Verlust klingt gewaltig, kommt aber durch Abschreibungen zustande; das 4.Q war sehr gut........11 Mio Net-Gewinn, EBITDA-marge bei 45%.......man könnte sagen: läuft.....
ist aber nur meine Meinung - keine Kaufempfehlung!
STORNOWAY REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND 2017 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Stornoway Diamond Corp. has released financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2017.
Earnings, operating expenses and capital expenses quoted reflect the recent adoption of a change in accounting policy regarding the capitalization of certain underground mine development costs (see "Change in Accounting Policy" below).

Imho ist das ein gutes Geschaeft. FWZ kann auch ganz schnell bei 3-4 CAD stehen, sind im Gegensatz zu Peers krass unterbewertet, dann waere der Deal gleich ein paar Mio wert.
Bis GLDN da selber vernuenftig exploriert hat wuerden auch mehrere Jahre und einige 100k wenn nicht Millionen ausgegeben werden muessen.
Zudem ist die NSR hoch bewertet (4mio, 50% kann FWZ rauskaufen). Also, wenn alles "gut" geht hat GLDN in den naechsten 3-4 Jahren da eine Nettoeinnahme von bis zu CAD 5 Millionen plus eine kleine NSR.
Aber wenn auf Hank alles gut geht gibt's GLDN in 2-3 Jahren eh nicht mehr.
GLDN schon wieder bei 0,145
Allerdings werden die bid-Seiten nicht mit hochgezogen.
ich kann das jetzt nicht einschätzen. Ist das viel oder wenig für das Projekt? Mir kommt es etwas knapp vor, die Bezahlung läuft auch über 3 Jahre und man weiß auch nicht, wie sich der Kurs von FWZ entwickelt.

U.S. Gold Corp. Plans to Commence 2018 Drill Programs at Copper King
May 14, 2018
The drilling program will follow up on the recently discovered "West Zone" and target additional potential discoveries at Copper King
ELKO, Nev., May 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Gold Corp. (USAU), a gold exploration and development company, is pleased to announce the forthcoming Copper King drilling program for 2018. This program, comprised of two phases, will begin with an initial phase of 10 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes for a total of about 10,000 feet (3,050 meters). Primarily, the program will focus on last year's newly discovered zone of mineralization, the West Zone, which was a 200-meter step out from the Main Zone at Copper King. The program will also target additional new discoveries on the Copper King project; drill testing several geophysical anomalies obtained from ground magnetics and IP (induced polarization) surveys conducted in 2017. The mineralization at the Copper King deposit remains open in multiple directions.
In January 2018 U.S. Gold Corp. announced the discovery of a new zone of mineralization, now referred to as the "West Zone" of base and precious metals mineralization adjacent to, and west of the Copper King deposit "Main Zone". This mineralization remains open in almost all directions.
GLDN ist neben ANG und USAU meine mit Abstand groesste Position und hat imho sogar die besten Aussichten auf einen "vielfaeltigen und vielfachen" Sommer.

WESTHAVEN COMPLETES DRILLING ON ITS SHOVELNOSE GOLD PROPERTY
Westhaven Ventures Inc.'s spring drilling campaign has been completed on its 15,542-hectare Shovelnose gold property, located within the prospective Spences Bridge gold belt (SBGB), approximately 30 kilometres south of Merritt, B.C.
Westhaven completed 2,639 metres of diamond drilling in seven holes. All pending assays from holes SN18-04 to SN18-07 will be reported when received in approximately three to four weeks. Westhaven's management and insiders have opted not to receive any further assays until all the remaining drill core samples have been processed.
2018 spring drill campaign
Exploratory drill holes SN18-01 and SN18-02 were drilled 200 metres and 400 metres south of known mineralization but failed to intersect the zone. They tested a large linear magnetic low anomaly to the southwest of drill hole SN17-06, which encountered 85 metres of 0.52 gram per tonne gold. Drill hole SN18-03, which was reported in a news release dated May 7, 2018, intersected 17.7 m of 3.9 g/t Au, including 2.9 m of 9.7 g/t Au. This hole was an overcut to SN17-06 and management now believes that horizon will be targeted moving forward.
Drill hole SN18-04 was drilled as an undercut to SN17-06. It confirmed down-dip continuity of two zones of mineralized quartz veins encountered in SN17-06 and SN18-03. Drill hole SN18-05 was drilled as an undercut to SN17-07. This hole encountered a quartz veinlet zone in potassic altered tuff that may correlate with a mineralized intercept in SN17-07 (four m of 3.2 g/t Au).
Drill hole SN18-06 was drilled as a 100 m stepout northeast of SN17-07. This hole encountered commonly sulphidic centimetre-scale quartz veins and dark chalcedony healed breccia veins up to a metre wide, confirming continuity to the northeast. The South zone remains open to the northeast. Drill hole SN18-07 was drilled between holes SN17-06 and SN17-07 but at a steeper angle to test for continuity and down-dip extent of the targeted vein zone. This hole encountered metre-scale quartz veins and quartz breccia veins, similar to that encountered in holes SN17-06 and SN18-03, confirming continuity of the vein zone along strike.
Warrant exercise
Westhaven has received proceeds of $104,827 related to the exercise of warrants. The warrants were exercisable at eight cents and 16 cents. As of the date of this news release, the company now has 65,720,308 common shares issued and outstanding.
Shovelnose gold property overview
There is evidence of a significant mineralized alteration system within the property where float samples grading 119 g/t Au and 273 g/t silver, veins exposed by trenching grading 66 g/t Au, and wide low-grade alteration zones typical of epithermal gold deposits have been discovered. Recent drilling intersected 17.7 metres of 3.9 g/t Au and 2.9 metres of 9.7 g/t Au. For further information on the Shovelnose gold property, please visit the company's website.
The Spences Bridge gold belt (SBGB)
Westhaven owns a 100-per-cent interest in over 35,000 hectares within the prospective SBGB, which is situated within a geological setting similar to those which host other significant epithermal gold-silver systems. It is close to existing transportation and infrastructure allowing for cost-effective exploration. The SBGB is a 110-kilometre northwest-trending belt of intermediate to felsic volcanic rocks dominated by the Cretaceous Spences Bridge group. Westhaven has been working on the SBGB since 2011 and believes these relatively underexplored volcanic rocks are highly prospective for epithermal-style gold mineralization.

WESTHAVEN STAKES AN ADDITIONAL 6,167 HECTARES ON THE SPENCES BRIDGE GOLD BELT
Westhaven Ventures Inc. has staked an additional 6,167 hectares within the prospective Spences Bridge gold belt (SBGB), approximately five kilometres northwest of Spences Bridge in British Columbia.
Westhaven now owns a 100-per-cent interest in 35,363 hectares within the prospective SBGB, which is close to existing transportation and infrastructure, allowing for cost-effective exploration. The SBGB is a 110-kilometre-long, northwest-trending belt of intermediate to felsic volcanic rocks dominated by the Cretaceous-aged Spences Bridge group. Westhaven has been working on the SBGB since 2011 and believes these relatively underexplored volcanic rocks are highly prospective for economic, epithermal gold deposits. The best drill intercepts from the company's three SBGB properties to date are:
Skoonka -- 12.8 metres of 20.2 grams per tonne (g/t) Au, including 2.9 metres of 51.1 g/t Au;
Shovelnose -- 17.7 metres of 3.9 g/t Au, including 2.9 metres of 9.7 g/t Au;
Prospect Valley -- 45.7 metres of 1.44 g/t Au, including 4.6 metres of 4.4 g/t Au.
Skoonka North claims
The Skoonka North claims are located northwest of Spences Bridge in south-central B.C., less than three kilometres from the Trans-Canada Highway and the CN and CP railway line, and an approximate three-and-one-half-hour drive from Vancouver in southern B.C. They are approximately 10 kilometres north of the company's Skoonka property, where past drilling encountered 12.8 metres of 20.2 g/t Au. The Skoonka North claims have the highest gold silt samples on the SBGB, including 594 parts per billion (ppb) Au, 383.7 ppb Au and 131.3 ppb Au. The claims have seen limited exploration work and have yet to be drill tested.
The first target is a prominent, very linear topographic feature that extends from the northeast corner of the property to the centre of the claim group, extending north-northeast for six kilometres. The southernmost 2.5 kilometres occurs along the east flank of a north-northeast-trending magnetic low. The target is marked by anomalous stream silts of 383.7 and 131.3 ppb Au at its south, end and 53.7 ppb Au at its north end. This corridor has seen limited prospecting to the east of its central portion and immediately west of its southern third, where a soil grid was laid out.
The main anomaly that has received the most work, including trenching, has returned rock and soil assays of up to two g/t Au and 701 ppb Au, respectively. The anomaly has been traced northeast for 260 metres. Trenching has exposed a 55 metre-long, east-trending zone of carbonate-zeolite veining assaying up to 1.44 g/t Au. A third target comprises a northeast-trending corridor containing geochemistry anomalies (soils up to 41.9 ppb Au) and an anomalous silt sample assaying 89.6 ppb Au. This occurs along the west flank of a north-northeast-trending magnetic low and on the west flank of a north-trending potassium radiometric high anomaly.

Westhaven drills 17.7 m of 3.9 g/t Au at Shovelnose
2018-05-07 13:13 ET - News Release
Mr. Gareth Thomas reports
WESTHAVEN DRILLS 17.7 METRES OF 3.9 G/T GOLD, INCLUDING 2.9 METRES OF 9.7 G/T GOLD AT SHOVELNOSE
Westhaven Ventures Inc. has released partial drill results from its spring drill campaign on its 18,768-hectare Shovelnose gold property, located within the prospective Spences Bridge gold belt (SBGB), approximately 30 kilometres south of Merritt, B.C. The drill program is continuing and consists of seven holes totalling more than 2,800 metres of diamond drilling.
Drilling highlights from drill hole SN18-03:
178 metres to 206.7 metres -- 28.7 metres of 2.6 grams per tonne gold;
Including 189m to 206.7 metres -- 17.7 metres grading 3.9 grams per tonne gold;
Which in turn includes 203 metres to 206.7 metres -- 3.7 metres grading 6.3 grams per tonne gold;
And 190 metres to 192.9 metres -- 2.9 metres grading 9.7 grams per tonne gold.
Note: Drilling to date is limited, so true widths cannot be definitively determined. However, based on the geology of the vein zone with a moderate dip to the west, the company can estimate true widths at 80 per cent.
Gren Thomas, president and chief executive officer of Westhaven, stated: "These initial results from the spring drilling campaign are very encouraging and demonstrate higher grade exists at depth, in addition to what's been found on surface. The South zone was only discovered at the end of 2017 and has had limited work to date. It is now the priority focus at Shovelnose, and we are confident that similar zones of gold mineralization will be found elsewhere within this newly discovered area."
This drill program is following up on last year's discovery of the South zone, where two holes in an unexplored area intersected an auriferous silicified zone. SN17-06 intersected 85 metres of 0.52 gram per tonne gold. SN18-03 was drilled as an overcut of SN17-06 and it intersected a zone of silicification and quartz veining, including metre-scale quartz veins that differentiate this zone from all other zones drilled on Shovelnose, with vein intersections of up to eight metres. Exploratory holes SN18-01 and SN18-02 were drilled 200 metres and 400 metres south of SN17-06 but failed to intersect the zone.
Mr. Thomas went on to add: "SN18-03 is the most encouraging hole drilled to date on Shovelnose, where Westhaven has carried out numerous small drill programs over a period of eight years and outlined a number of gold-rich zones. The company is looking forward to receiving the assays from the remaining four holes as all four holes intersected silicification and quartz veining at various depths over a strike length of 200 metres. A summer drill program will commence in June."
The Spences Bridge gold belt (SBGB)
Westhaven owns a 100-per-cent interest in over 32,000 hectares within the prospective SBGB, which is situated within a geological setting similar to those which host other significant epithermal gold-silver systems. It is close to existing transportation and infrastructure, allowing for cost-effective exploration. The SBGB is a 110-kilometre northwest-trending belt of intermediate-to-felsic volcanic rocks dominated by the Cretaceous Spences Bridge group. Westhaven has been working on the SBGB since 2011 and believes these relatively underexplored volcanic rocks are highly prospective for epithermal-style gold mineralization.

Quality assurance/quality control
Core samples were prepared using the PREP-31 package in ALS's Kamloops facility, whereby each core sample is crushed to better than 70 per cent passing a two-millimetre (Tyler 9 mesh, U.S. Standard No. 10) screen. A split of 250 grams is taken and pulverized to better than 85 per cent passing a 75-micron (Tyler 200 mesh, U.S. Standard No. 200) screen. Of this pulverized split, 0.5 gram is digested in aqua regia and analyzed by ICP-MS and ICP-AES (method code ME-MS41L), which reports a 53-element suite of elements. All results greater than 100 parts per billion gold were reanalyzed by ALS using its fire assay with an AAS finish, method code Au-AA23 (30-gram sample size). All analysis is conducted in ALS's North Vancouver facility. A quality assurance/quality control program included the lab and field standards inserted every 25 samples.
