Vancouver, October 31, 2024 - GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) (FSE: 4QS0) ("GoldHaven" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive securities exchange agreement dated October 31, 2024 with Copper Peak Metals Inc. ("Copper Peak") and each of the shareholders of Copper Peak (the "Copper Peak Shareholders"), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Copper Peak (the "Copper Peak Shares") from the Copper Peak Shareholders in exchange for:
- 3,990,000 common shares of the Company (the "Consideration Shares") at a deemed price of $0.09 per Consideration Share for total deemed consideration of $359,100,
- 500,000 common share purchase warrants, each exercisable at $0.10 per warrant to acquire one common share of the Company until September 16, 2027, and
- 500,000 common share purchase warrants, each exercisable at $0.10 per warrant to acquire one common share of the Company until August 22, 2027 (collectively referred to as, the "Transaction").
Copper Peak has an acquisition agreement for the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Magno property. The future obligations under this acquisition agreement include the payment of $93,334 to the underlying property optionor, Gerry Diakow by January 29, 2025. In connection with the closing of the Transaction (the "Closing"), it is expected that Gerry Diakow will be appointed to the Board of Directors of GoldHaven.
"Signing of the definitive agreement with GoldHaven is the first step on the way to a significant milestone for Copper Peak," stated Gerry Diakow, Director of Copper Peak.

With the signing of a definitive agreement for the acquisition, we secure two quality assets within well-known historical districts in B.C.

About Copper Peak: The Magno & Three Guardsmen Properties
Copper Peak holds 100% ownership of the Magno and Three Guardsmen mineral properties in British Columbia's Liard Mining District. The Magno property includes 24 mineral tenures, while the Three Guardsmen property holds 12. Both projects focus on the late Cretaceous terranes, known to host significant porphyry deposits like those at Casino and Red Mountain. The exploration team will target granitic bodies beneath promising skarn deposits, aiming to identify the source of mineralized fluids linked to these skarns. The focus will be on extensive geochemical and geophysical exploration to identify potential porphyry sources.
