Westhaven Ventures ( (TSE:WHN) ) has issued an update.

Westhaven Gold has commenced drilling at its Shovelnose gold and silver project in southern British Columbia, launching what it calls a transformational 2026 program. The initiative, contingent on shareholder approval of a proposed transaction with Dundee Corporation, envisions a C$20 million, 50,000-metre campaign that would be the largest drilling effort ever undertaken on the property.

The program will initially prioritize resource infill drilling at the South Zone to strengthen and potentially expand the existing resource base before shifting more heavily toward exploration drilling as additional rigs are added. Management says the work, planned to use up to four drill rigs, is intended to advance Shovelnose’s development prospects while hunting new discoveries, underscoring the project’s role as a cornerstone growth asset within the Spences Bridge Gold Belt.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:WHN) stock is a Hold with a C$0.24 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Westhaven Ventures stock, see the TSE:WHN Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:WHN Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:WHN is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weak operating fundamentals (no revenue, ongoing losses, and negative free cash flow). Offsetting this are a strong low-debt balance sheet, improving near-term technical momentum, and constructive corporate events—most notably the Dundee earn-in and financing support that can fund project advancement.
