VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GoldHaven Resources Corp. ("GoldHaven" or the "Company") (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) (FSE: 4QS) is pleased to announce it has engaged Dias Airborne Limited (“Dias”) to complete a 1,741 line-kilometre high-resolution airborne magnetic survey across its 100%-owned Magno Project in the Cassiar District of northern British Columbia.
The survey is expected to commence in June 2026, with an anticipated 14-day duration, and will be flown at 100 metre line spacing over the Company’s priority target corridors, highlighting the Magno Zone, Kuhn Zone, and D Zone. This marks the first modern geophysical survey completed over the consolidated Magno land package.
Highlights
Dias engaged to complete 1,741 line-km high-resolution airborne magnetic survey
Survey targeted to commence June 2026, with a 14-day anticipated duration
High definition 100 metre line spacing across priority corridors including Magno, Kuhn and D Zones
Dias’ QMAGT platform is the same advanced geophysical system successfully used at the Hercules Metals Corp. Leviathan discovery (2023).
Program designed to support 2026 drill targeting and 3D geological modelling
Potential follow-on ground-based 3D IP survey under evaluation
Funded through recently completed critical minerals flow-through financing
As shown on Figure 1, the airborne program is designed to capture the package of north-south striking sedimentary rocks in contact with the intrusive granitic rocks to the west. These rock packages and contact zones host a mineralized corridor containing numerous mineralized showings and occurrences including: skarn mineralization, carbonate replacement deposit (CRD) type mineralization, and porphyry style mineralization. Figure 1 also shows some of the mineralized zones in this corridor, with the high priority zones being the Magno, D, and Kuhn zones.

GoldHaven selected Dias based on the strong geological analogy between Magno’s near-surface CRD and adjacent porphyry-style mineralization and the geophysical success achieved at Hercules Metals’ Leviathan discovery in Idaho. The following link contains the case study presented by Dias on the discovery:
The airborne survey is designed to strengthen GoldHaven’s understanding of the Project’s structural architecture, intrusive contacts, and alteration corridors across multiple prospective mineralized systems. The resulting high-resolution dataset will be integrated into the Company’s evolving 3D geological model, which combines newly generated data with extensive historical exploration records to refine and prioritize 2026 drill targets.
The Company is also evaluating a potential follow-on ground-based 3D IP survey to further enhance subsurface targeting in advance of drill mobilization.
Recent 2025 surface work has identified multiple high-priority corridors supported by strong silver-lead-zinc and tungsten-indium mineralization, including silver values up to 2,370 g/t, tungsten up to 6,550 ppm, and indium values up to 334 ppm. These mineralized surface expressions are being used directly to guide airborne survey design and target prioritization.
CEO Commentary:
“This survey represents a major step forward in systematically unlocking the district-scale potential of Magno,” stated Rob Birmingham, CEO of GoldHaven. “By integrating modern high-resolution geophysics with our growing geological database and 2025 surface discoveries, we believe we are significantly improving our ability to define high-confidence drill targets across multiple mineralized systems at Magno.”
About Dias and QMAGT Technology
Dias Airborne is a recognized leader in advanced geophysical survey technologies for mineral exploration. The survey will utilize Dias’ proprietary QMAGT (Quantum Magnetic Gradiometry Tensor) system, a helicopter-borne platform that measures the full tensor of the Earth’s magnetic field using SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) sensors.
This technology provides enhanced resolution and directional data compared to conventional magnetic surveys, enabling more precise detection and modelling of subsurface geological features. The system’s sensitivity and ability to operate in diverse environments make it particularly effective for early-stage exploration and target delineation.
Dias’ advanced geophysical technologies have been successfully applied in modern mineral exploration programs, including at the Hercules Project, where high-resolution geophysical datasets played an important role in refining concealed drill targets that ultimately led to discovery success. GoldHaven believes deploying comparable next-generation geophysical techniques at Magno has the potential to materially enhance target definition across multiple high-priority corridors and accelerate the Company’s path toward drill-ready discovery targets.
