GoldHaven Resources Corp. has received its exploration permit for the 100%-owned Magno Project in the Cassiar District of northern British Columbia, clearing the final regulatory requirement ahead of an inaugural 5,000 to 7,000-metre diamond drill program.

Northtech Drilling Ltd. has been contracted for the campaign and is advancing mobilization toward the start of drilling. The program will initially target the Kuhn tungsten-skarn deposit before moving to the Magno and D Zone mineralized centres across the 37,000-hectare property.

“We’ve spent the past year building the strongest geological foundation this project has ever had — 2,320 kilometres of modern airborne magnetics, surface geochemistry across 354 samples, high-grade gold confirmed at 55.3 g/t alongside tungsten, silver, zinc and indium, all sitting within the same structural corridor. The permit clears the last gate before the drill turns.”

GoldHaven recently completed a 2,320.7 line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey across the property, providing a modern structural framework to guide targeting. Surface sampling across the project has returned high-grade assays including up to 55.3 g/t gold, 2,370 g/t silver, over 20% lead, 19.25% zinc, 6,550 ppm tungsten, 334 ppm indium and 2.87% copper.

Initial drilling at Kuhn will test historical tungsten-bearing lenses associated with a historical estimate of approximately 616,500 tonnes grading 0.48% WO₃. A qualified person has not classified this figure as a current mineral resource or reserve. To support these operational plans, GoldHaven completed a C$5.75 million listed issuer financing exemption private placement in June 2026.

“We start at Kuhn, where historical drilling confirmed shallow tungsten mineralization, giving us a well-defined starting point for the program. From there, we plan to move to the Magno and D Zone targets, where high-grade gold, silver and polymetallic mineralization at surface provide a compelling second phase of drill targets.”

GoldHaven intends to commence its maiden drilling at Magno following the completion of final pre-disturbance requirements.
