Vancouver, British Columbia – (GlobeNewswire) – June 10th, 2025, GoldHaven Resources Corp. (“GoldHaven” or the “Company”) (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) (FSE: 4QS) is pleased to announce the commencement of the Auger Drill program at its 100%-owned Copeçal Gold Project located in the prolific Juruena Terrane, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. Building on momentum from prior announcements, the Company’s geological team has been busy on-site confirming Auger Drill Rig access, finalizing the grid location and establishing accommodations for the full crew during the program. Yesterday, June 9th, the drill rig began turning on the planned 2,000m Auger Drilling Program, designed to enhance geological understanding to support future diamond drilling campaigns.

The Auger Drilling Program will focus primarily on defining a 3D litho-geochemical footprint of gold distribution within the regolith profile beneath the extensive East Gold-in-Soil Anomaly. Vertical auger holes will be drilled systematically from surface to the regolith-bedrock interface—expected to range between 5 to 30m in depth—on a tight 100m x 50m grid. This methodical approach is expected to generate high-resolution data critical for the refinement of subsurface geological and structural models.
In addition to the East Anomaly, the Company will test several other zones of gold anomalism that align with interpreted structural trends, further leveraging the favourable geology observed across the Copeçal Project area.

Looking ahead, GoldHaven anticipates launching a Drone-borne Very Low Frequency (VLF) Electromagnetic Survey in early July (referred to in Figure 1). This survey will target the structural trends believed to be favourable hosts to gold mineralization, covering both the East and West Gold-in-Soil anomalies as well as their potential strike extensions. The integration of VLF geophysics with auger geochemistry will provide a robust framework for finalizing diamond drill collar locations, thereby maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of future drilling campaigns.
Rob Birmingham, CEO of GoldHaven Resources, commented: “We are excited to enter the next phase of exploration at Copeçal. The combination of high-resolution auger geochemistry and drone-based geophysics places us in a strong position to accurately delineate high-priority targets. This integrated approach is designed to de-risk our diamond drilling program and unlock the project’s full potential. The Company remains committed to advancing its Brazilian exploration portfolio in a disciplined, data-driven manner, leveraging best-in-class techniques to generate value for shareholders.”
About the Copeçal Gold Project: A Brief History
The Copeçal Gold Project is strategically situated within the Alta Floresta Gold Province, a historically productive region that has yielded substantial gold discoveries since the late 1970s. GoldHaven’s tenements cover a total of 3,681 hectares in a geologically favourable setting within the Juruena Gold Province of Brazil.
The Juruena Gold Province, also known as the Juruena Magmatic Arc, is an orogenic belt highly prospective for mesothermal shear-related and intrusion-related gold deposits, such as G-Mining’s Tocantinzinho deposit. Additionally, the region hosts recently identified porphyry-style deposits (e.g., Serabi, Jaca) and epithermal-style deposits (e.g., X1, Aura). The presence of multiple deposit styles, along with the confirmation of large-scale gold deposits in the Juruena Province of Brazil, underscores the significant potential of the Copeçal Gold Project.
Recent exploration programs, including geochemical soil sampling, drone-mounted magnetometry surveys, and historical drilling data, indicate the presence of multiple gold-bearing structures. Notably, AngloGold Ashanti previously conducted systematic exploration on the property from 2010 to 2016, including auger and air-core drilling, geophysical surveys, and rock geochemistry, identifying multiple zones of anomalous gold mineralization.
The Copeçal Gold Project benefits from extensive historical work, with AngloGold Ashanti’s exploration confirming gold and arsenic anomalies, indicative of significant mineralization potential. Soil sampling grids and follow-up auger drilling in key areas revealed consistent gold values over wide zones, further supporting the presence of a substantial mineralized system.
