Shovelnose is located within the prospective Spences Bridge Gold Belt (SBGB), which borders the Coquihalla Highway 30 km south of Merritt, southwestern British Columbia.<\/p>\n<p>Grab samples from the newly-discovered Franz Zone included : 51.10 g\/t gold and 165.00 g\/t silver; 4.19 g\/t gold and 52.50 g\/t silver; 34.90 g\/t gold and 120.00 g\/t silver.<\/p>\n<p>Gareth Thomas, President &amp; CEO, stated: \u201cThe newly discovered Franz vein zone is located approximately ~2.8 kilometres from the high-grade gold discovery at the South Zone. This demonstrates we are dealing with a large and robust mineralized system and it is not just limited to the South Zone. The Franz Zone was discovered just over a week ago, so we don\u2019t yet know the extent, but this is the most significant mineralized zone discovered on surface at Shovelnose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Peter Fischl, Exploration Manager, added: \u201cGrab sampling of outcrop and float over a 50 metre by up to 12 metre area oriented east-west over the Franz vein zone, an 80 x 20-metre outcrop of quartz veined rhyolite oriented at 110\/290<sup>o\u00a0<\/sup>azimuth, returned significant gold and silver assays.\u00a0Most notably are the two western most outcrop grab samples which returned 4.19 g\/t gold and 51.1 g\/t gold.\u00a0 These two grab samples occur over an east-west distance of five metres.\u00a0 The Franz vein zone outcrops at an elevation of 1,285 metres, and confirms the productive, dominantly rhyolite hosted gold-silver bearing horizon at South Zone is also preserved here. This outcrop may represent the northwestward continuation of Vein Zone 1, suggesting a total strike length of at least 3.7 kilometres for the zone.\u00a0 Drilling will be required to confirm this strike continuity. Drilling will commence at Franz shortly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Westhaven controls 37,000 hectares (370 km<sup>2<\/sup>) with four 100%-owned gold properties spread along the underexplored Spences Bridge Gold Belt. The Shovelnose property is situated off a major highway, in close proximity to power, rail, large producing mines, and within commuting distance from the city of Merritt, which translates into low cost exploration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Westhaven Gold Corp.
