GOLDHAVEN EXPANDS SMOKE MOUNTAIN LAND POSITION; STRENGTHENS PRESENCE IN PROMISING CENTRAL BRITISH COLUMBIA COPPER-GOLD BELT
Goldhaven Resources Corp. has doubled the size of its Smoke Mountain land position from 4,190 hectares to 8,645 hectares based on preliminary results from geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys conducted during the 2022 Smoke Mountain summer exploration program.
Goldhaven CEO, Justin Canivet reports "Preliminary results from work at Smoke Mountain confirm the gold and copper potential of the Project. The distribution of favourable host rocks coupled with newly defined geochemical anomalies drove the decision to add additional ground, more than doubling GOH's land position and significantly strengthening our presence in the highly endowed
Central British Columbia Copper-Gold Belt."
Smoke Mountain Surrounded
b
y Significant Occurrences & Historic Resources
Goldhaven's recently enlarged 8,645 hectare Smoke Mountain property is strategically situated within an extensive 85 kilometre polymetallic belt that is highly prospective for gold-silver-zinc epithermal systems, porphyry copper-gold deposits, as well as gold and silver-rich
magmatic-hydrothermal occurrences. The property is road accessible from Houston
via a series of gravel forest service roads off Highway 16.
Exploration activity in the area has been renewed in this historic mining region, propelled by the ongoing expansion of advanced exploration projects and mines including:
Universal Copper's Poplar project (18km NE) hosting
236Mt @ 0.37% Cu
1
Surge Copper's Berg project (15km SW) with reserves of
238Mt @ 0.4% Cu; 0.05% Au
2
Imperial Metals' Huckleberry project (26 km SE) containing 161Mt @ 0.48% Cu

Note: the mines and advanced exploration and development projects in the Central BC porphyry-epithermal provide geologic context for the Smoke Mountain Property, but this is not necessarily indicative that the Smoke Mountain Property hosts similar grades or tonnages of mineralization.
Smoke Mountain Phase II Prospecting Program Update
Goldhaven has executed a 30 day fieldwork campaign including
geological mapping, soil sampling, stream sediment sampling and prospecting/rock sampling as well as airborne LiDAR, MAG, Radiometrics and Z-Tipper Axis Electromagnetic (ZTEM) surveys. All field data is currently being processed and evaluated and final results are expected in Q4, 2022.
Highly Prospective Region
The historic Central BC porphyry-epithermal belt is re-emerging as an important copper-gold-silver jurisdiction as evidenced by increased staking activity and exploration drilling. The region is quickly becoming known for its long mineralized drill intercepts including Universal Copper's 216m interval grading 0.54% CuEq (click here for release) and has the potential to host some of the largest copper-polymetallic discoveries in British Columbia
.
In recent news, Surge Copper expanded their Ootsa project by 96% to a total of 439Mt grading 0.32% CuEq (click here for release) increasing their total mineralized inventory in the southern part of this belt to over 1 billion tonnes (measured and indicated).
These results in the immediate vicinity of Goldhaven's Smoke Mountain project showcase the exceptional regional endowment and metallogenic character of the Late Cretaceous arc rocks hosted within this belt. Goldhaven's exploration upside lies in the 2.5km long untested and under-explored alteration and mineralization trend currently being examined by our field team at Smoke Mountain.
Note: The adjacent mines and advanced exploration and development projects in the Central BC porphyry-epithermal provide geologic context for the Smoke Mountain Property, but this is not necessarily indicative that the Smoke Mountain Property hosts similar grades or tonnages of mineralization.

About Goldhaven Resources Corp.
Goldhaven Resources Corp. is a Canadian junior precious metals exploration Company focused on acquiring and exploring highly prospective land packages in both Canada and Chile. Goldhaven maintains a strategic presence in the gold and silver rich Maricunga Gold Belt of Northern Chile which is host to several mining and advanced exploration projects including Salares Norte (Gold Fields), Esperanza (Kingsgate Consolidated), La Coipa (Kinross), Cerro Maricunga (Fenix Gold), Lobo-Marte (Kinross), Volcan (Volcan), Refugio (Kinross/Bema), Caspiche (Goldcorp/Barrick), and Cerro Casale (Goldcorp/Barrick). The Company has identified a total of 12 high-priority targets at its Alicia and Roma project areas in the Maricunga within a prominent regional NW-SE structural trend along strike from Gold Fields' Salares Norte deposit (5.2 million ounces of Gold7). These targets have been designated "High Priority" due to the extent, pervasive alteration, favourable geology, highly anomalous rock geochemical results, and their relative proximity to existing deposits. Goldhaven is also making exploration progress at its Smoke Mountain property (Canada) which is strategically located in the Central British Columbia Porphyry-Epithermal Belt in close proximity to Surge Copper's Berg project, as well as its Pat's Pond project in Newfoundland's Central Newfoundland Gold Belt (Canada). Pat's Pond is strategically located less than 20km from Marathon Gold's 3.14 Moz8 Valentine Gold Project and on strike from the Boomerang/Domino VMS deposit. Pat's Pond is highly prospective for gold, copper, silver and zinc and has large scale discovery potential. Goldhaven engages proactively with local and Indigenous rightsholders and seeks to develop relationships and agreements that are mutually beneficial to all stakeholders.
Note: The deposits/mines near Goldhaven's properties provide geologic context, but this is not necessarily indicative that Goldhaven properties host similar grades or tonnages of mineralization.
We seek Safe Harbor.
