GoldHaven Resources Corp. announced the Company's intent to focus on critical minerals exploration in Canada, in large part due to the promising results from the 2022 exploration campaigns which included airborne ZTEM and LiDAR surveys on the Company's title project: Smoke Mountain. Smoke Mountain is strategically situated within the Central British Columbia Porphyry-Epithermal Belt; an extensive 85-kilometre polymetallic belt that is highly prospective for gold-silver-zinc epithermal systems and porphyry copper-gold deposits.

The region has the potential to host some of the largest copper-polymetallic discoveries in British Columbia. Exploration activity in this historic mining region is propelled by recent and ongoing expansion of advanced exploration projects and mines including: Universal Copper's Poplar project (18km NE) hosting 236Mt @ 0.37% Cu1; Surge Copper's Berg project (15km SW) with reserves of 238Mt @ 0.4% Cu; 0.05% Au2; Imperial Metals' Huckleberry project (26 km SE) containing 161Mt @ 0.48% Cu3.
