Website: Westhaven Gold Corp
Westhaven is a gold-focused exploration and development company targeting high-grade, epithermal style gold mineralization within the Spences Bridge Gold Belt in southern British Columbia. Westhaven controls ~60,263 hectares within four gold properties spread along this underexplored belt, including the advanced Shovelnose Gold Project. A 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment validates the project’s potential as a robust, low-cost and high-margin 11-year underground gold mining opportunity with average annual life-of-mine production of 56,000 ounces gold and 313,000 ounces silver with a CDN$454 million after-tax net present value (at a 6% discount rate) and 43.2% IRR (base case parameters of US$2,400 per ounce gold, US$28 per ounce silver and CDN/US$ exchange rate of CDN$1.00=US$0.72). On February 23, 2026, Westhaven closed a strategic earn-in agreement with Dundee Corporation (TSX: DC.A), whereby Dundee may earn up to a 60% interest in Westhaven's four Spences Bridge Gold Belt properties through up to CDN$85,000,000 in staged project expenditures.
