WESTHAVEN GOLD PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE

Westhaven Gold Corp. has been made aware that its chief financial officer, Shaun Pollard, has been charged with two counts of contraventions of the Securities Act (British Columbia) stemming from alleged misconduct in September, 2018. The charges are not yet proved in a court of law, nor has Mr. Pollard made any admissions of guilt.

No allegations have been made against the company, and the company is not aware of any charges pending against any of its directors or other officers.

Effective immediately, the company has suspended Mr. Pollard from his duties as chief financial officer pending the outcome of the charges. The board of directors has appointed Zara Boldt, a respected Canadian mining finance leader with 20-plus years expertise in public company finance, governance and strategic business development to act as the company's interim chief financial officer. The company will provide further updates as more information becomes available.
