Westhaven Gold Business Summary

Westhaven Gold Corp. (WTHVF) is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and development of high-grade gold and silver deposits within the Spences Bridge Gold Belt (SBGB) in southern British Columbia. As a pre-revenue junior explorer, the company generates capital through strategic partnerships and equity financing, most notably through a transformational $85 million earn-in agreement closed with Dundee Corporation in February 2026. The company’s operations are segmented across four primary assets: the flagship Shovelnose Gold Project, which features a 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) outlining an 11-year mine life with a $454 million after-tax NPV, and the Prospect Valley, Skoonka, and Skoonka North properties. Within the regional competitive landscape, Westhaven maintains a dominant "first-mover" position as the largest landholder in the SBGB, distinguishing itself from peers such as Tudor Gold Corp., Kootenay Silver Inc., and Leocor Gold Inc. through its advanced infrastructure access and lower-quartile exploration costs. The executive team is led by President and CEO Ken Armstrong, a veteran geoscientist with over three decades of experience in corporate leadership at North Arrow Minerals and Strongbow Exploration. The company was co-founded by Chairperson Eira Thomas, a distinguished mining executive who previously served as CEO of Lucara Diamond and Kaminak Gold, and Director Gareth Thomas. The leadership group also includes CFO Zara Boldt and VP Exploration Robin Hopkins, both of whom bring extensive technical and financial expertise from major resource plays. In February 2026, Westhaven expanded its board with the appointment of Patrick F.N. Anderson, the founder and CEO of Dalradian Resources, as an Independent Director. The company’s strategic stability is reinforced by a notable roster of institutional and high-net-worth investors, including Dundee Corporation, Franco-Nevada, Eric Sprott, and Rob McEwen.
