GoldHaven Resources Commences Maiden Diamond Drilling Program in Brazil to Test High-Priority Gold Targets

Executive Summary

• GoldHaven Resources Corp. announced the start of its maiden diamond drilling program at the Copeçal gold project in Brazil, targeting two high‑priority zones (Copeçal East and West).
• The targets were defined through extensive soil geochemistry, auger drilling, magnetic, VLF‑EM and IP surveys, building on historic work by AngloGold Ashanti.
• Management highlighted the strategic location within the prolific Juruena Magmatic Arc and expressed confidence that the program could lead to a significant gold discovery.

Key Details

• Program Scope: Diamond drilling of two priority targets – Copeçal East (high‑resistivity anomaly > 1800 Ω·m, Au > 100 ppb) and Copeçal West (high‑conductivity anomaly < 250 Ω·m, Au > 50 ppb).
• Exploration Basis: Integrated dataset comprising soil and auger geochemistry, magnetic surveys, VLF‑EM and induced polarization (IP) work.
• Historical Context: AngloGold Ashanti conducted systematic exploration 2010‑2016, generating the geochemical and geophysical anomalies now being tested.
• Project Size: GoldHaven holds 3,681 ha of tenements within the Juruena Gold Province, part of the larger Alta Floresta gold district.
• Strategic Significance: The Copeçal project sits amid a cluster of notable discoveries (e.g., G‑Mining’s Tocantinzinho) and active junior explorers in the region.
• Management Comments:
• Jon Hill (Country Manager, former AngloGold Ashanti Exploration Manager) emphasized the “compelling greenfields opportunity” and confidence in the target definitions.
• Rob Birmingham (CEO) described the drill start as a pivotal transition from target definition to discovery work, expecting potential for a “significant gold discovery.”
• Qualified Person: Jonathan Victor Hill, B.Sc. Hons, FAusIMM, independent QP per NI 43‑101, reviewed and approved technical information.

Notable Quotes

“Copeçal has all the hallmarks of a compelling greenfields opportunity… I’m confident that Copeçal has the potential to host an important mineralized system.” – Jon Hill, Country Manager, Brazil

“This is a pivotal moment for GoldHaven, as we advance from target definition into true discovery work… we believe Copeçal has the potential to deliver a significant gold discovery.” – Rob Birmingham, CEO

Materiality Assessment: Material – Positive (the announcement of a maiden drilling program on a newly defined, high‑potential greenfield project is likely to be viewed as materially positive by investors).
