NORTHAVEN RESOURCES CORP. (TSX VENTURE:NTV) is pleased to announce that, in
light of favourable results from the previously announced airborne geophysical
program on its Allco Property, it has acquired by staking an additional 11
mineral claims incorporating 5,358.34 hectares, increasing the size of the Allco
Property to 18,580.27 hectares. These additional claims cover extensions to
geophysical trends identified in Northaven's recently completed 1,354 line km
ZTEM airborne geophysical survey. 


The ZTEM system is an electromagnetic (EM) prospecting system built and operated
by Geotech Ltd. that measures changes in naturally occurring magnetic fields in
the Afmag range (30-720 Hz). The ZTEM results can help map changes in the
earth's subsurface conductivity to depths in the range of 1.5-2 km. The ZTEM
technique is both well suited to mapping conductive zones in the earth and as
well resistive geology such as zones of alteration-induced silicification. As a
natural fields technique, ZTEM can maintain an excellent depth of investigation
even in areas of extreme topography such as characterizes much of the Allco
Property. Overall, the ZTEM system was deemed to be the optimum geophysical
technique to help define zones of possible conductive mineralization or
resistive silicification, including possible SEDEX gold and silver deposits of
the type being explored for at Allco. The magnetic data concurrently acquired
during the ZTEM survey can provide complementary information to the EM data
about geology, structure and potential mineralization. 


A preliminary assessment of the ZTEM survey shows that the Allco Property hosts
an extensive network of EM and magnetic responses that form both linear trends
and discrete features. While the majority of the EM responses appear to have a
shallow character (but locally extend to depth) the magnetic responses by and
large appear deeper. This suggests the magnetic results could represent
intrusive rocks that underlie that sedimentary package mapped at surface.
Assuming this relationship to be correct, then these interpreted intrusive rocks
could also be the source of the heat and fluids that has introduced
mineralization into the sedimentary rocks. 


There is a strong spatial relationship between the ZTEM-derived EM and magnetic
trends and the known historic mines and mineralized showings within the survey
area. This suggests that the known mineralized zones are occurring along what
are likely major fault systems that extend from the surface to depth where they
intersect the postulated intrusive bodies as defined by the magnetic results.
Approximately 3.2 km north of the Allco Property but within the ZTEM survey area
lies Huakan's J&L deposit (measured, indicated and inferred resources announced
at 1.27m oz Au; 15 m oz Ag). This deposit lies adjacent to EM and magnetic
trends that can be traced back onto the Allco Property which indicates the
significant extent of the overall mineral system that has been mapped by the
ZTEM survey. 


Following the final assessment of the ZTEM survey results, Northaven will then
incorporate these outcomes with their geological and geochemical results from
the property and define a follow-up program of prospecting, geochemistry and
geological mapping and possible drilling, subject to financing.

survey is available for viewing on Northaven's YouTube channel and on the
