GoldHaven to Focus on Canadian Critical Minerals Exploration; Update on Chilean Activities

June 9, 2023

Vancouver, British Columbia – (June 9, 2023) - GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) (FSE: 4QS) ("GoldHaven" or the "Company") announces the Company’s intent to focus on critical minerals exploration in Canada, in large part due to the promising results from the 2022 exploration campaigns which included airborne ZTEM and LiDAR surveys on the Company’s title project: Smoke Mountain.

GoldHaven CEO, Bonn Smith states “The global clean energy transition is under way, representing the largest economic transformation since the Industrial Revolution, and GoldHaven is currently in position to play a part. Canada is positioned to become the world’s green supplier of choice for critical minerals, and it would be a shame to not take advantage of this opportunity happening in our own backyard. With the recently identified 2.5-kilometre-long open-ended Cu-Au-Ag-Zn trend coupled with positive airborne geophysics results and forthcoming geochemical results, Smoke Mountain will be the primary focus of this Company moving forward.”

Note: The mines, deposits, and prospects in this part of BC provide geologic context for the Smoke Mountain property, but are not necessarily an indication that the Property hosts similar grades or tonnages of mineralization.

Smoke Mountain is strategically situated within the Central British Columbia Porphyry- Epithermal Belt; an extensive 85-kilometre polymetallic belt that is highly prospective for gold- silver-zinc epithermal systems and porphyry copper-gold deposits (Figure 1). The region has the potential to host some of the largest copper-polymetallic discoveries in British Columbia.

Exploration activity in this historic mining region is propelled by recent and ongoing expansion of advanced exploration projects and mines including:

  • Universal Copper’s Poplar project (18km NE) hosting 236Mt @ 0.37% Cu1
  • Surge Copper’s Berg project (15km SW) with reserves of 238Mt @ 0.4% Cu; 0.05% Au2
  • Imperial Metals' Huckleberry project (26 km SE) containing 161Mt @ 0.48% Cu3

Note: The mines, advanced exploration and development projects in the Central BC porphyry-epithermal belt, provide geologic context for the Smoke Mountain Property, but are not necessarily indicative that the Project hosts similar grades or tonnages of mineralization.

Update on Chilean Activities

The Company announces that it has ceased all negotiations with Oro Atacama SpA. After several months of negotiations, no deal was reached with respect to the near-production properties Los Sapos, India Coya, and Pepita.

Patrick Burns has resigned from GoldHaven’s Board of Directors. Bertram T. von Plettenberg  has also resigned as a Director, but will remain as a Special Advisor to the Company. Mr. Burns, Jack Pritting and Chris Ford have all stepped down from GoldHaven’s Chilean Technical Advisory Board. We thank them for their contributions and wish them well in their future endeavours.
