Westhaven Ventures ( (TSE:WHN) ) just unveiled an update.

Westhaven Gold Corp. has signed a definitive earn-in agreement with Dundee Corporation that gives Dundee the right to earn up to a 60% interest in Westhaven’s four key projects in the Spences Bridge Gold Belt by funding up to C$85 million in staged project expenditures, including a firm commitment of C$30 million. Alongside this, Dundee will invest C$3 million in Westhaven through a private placement, bolstering funding for an anticipated C$20 million work program in 2026 focused on infill and exploration drilling at the Shovelnose Gold Project, expanded environmental baseline work, and engineering studies to support a pre-feasibility study. Management from both companies describe the transaction as transformational, aligning capital and technical resources to accelerate de-risking and development of Shovelnose toward a production decision while maintaining a significant interest for Westhaven shareholders, potentially reshaping the company’s growth trajectory and strengthening its position within Canada’s gold exploration sector.
