NORTHAVEN RESOURCES CORP. (TSX VENTURE:NTV) is pleased to announce that it is
finalizing details of its 2011 summer work program on its gold/silver properties
in British Columbia. Northaven proposes, subject to financing and receipt of
regulatory and other approvals, to conduct a program of geophysics with
follow-up reconnaissance geological mapping and soil geochemistry, to identify
targets of gold and silver mineralization for later confirmatory drilling.
Company management is in the process of confirming the availability of
contractors and other requirements, and expects to announce details of its
proposed work programs shortly, commencing with the Allco Property.


The Alloco property is located approximately 27 kilometers north of Revelstoke,
B.C., immediately south of Huakan International Mining Inc.'s advanced J&L
property. Based on available geological information from the J&L property and
preliminary work done on the Allco Property itself, the property appears to host
conditions that are highly favourable for the discovery of significant gold and
silver mineralization. 


The J&L property - which is described by Huakan as "one of the largest
undeveloped polymetalic deposit in British Columbia" - has been the subject of
extensive prior exploration. On March 16, 2011, Huakan announced delineation of
a NI 43-101 compliant measured/indicated resource on the J&L property of 2.37
million tonnes grading 6.81 g/t Au, 67 g/t Ag, and 6.37% combined Pb-Zn
(containing 518,500 ounces of gold and 5.1 million ounces silver) and an
Inferred Mineral Resource of 4.54 million tonnes grading 5.19 g/t Au, 68 g/t Ag,
5.15% combined Pb-Zn (containing 757,500 ounces gold and 9.9 million ounces
silver), for a total measured, indicated and inferred resources of 1,276,000
ounces of gold and 15,000,000 ounces of silver. Huakan's resource calculations
were all based on mineralization in the "Main Zone" on the property. A second
deposit - the "Yellowjacket" zone, a stratabound zinc/lead/silver deposit which
runs sub-parallel to the Main Zone, with reported grades exceeding 50 g/t Ag -
also appears to contain significant silver mineralization, but was not included
in the resource calculation. 


Preliminary sampling on the Allco Property to date has identified both "Main
Zone" and Yellowjacket" type mineralization. The center of the J&L Main Zone
mineral resource lies approximately 3.2 km north west of the Company's Allco
Property within the Lardeau and Hamil Group Formations which also comprise the
majority of the Allco Property. The Allco Property also contains significant
occurrences of the "Badshot" limestone formation, which hosts the Yellowjacket
zone. Both properties are bounded by two northwest/southeast trending fault
zones, which appear to provide strong structural controls for the
mineralization. 


The Company is investigating with its consultants the application of ZTEM -
Geotech's latest helicopter-borne frequency-domain electromagnetic and
magnetometer based remote sensing system - to conditions on the Allco Property.
The ZTEM system is particularly sensitive to sulphide-based mineralization as
well as structural lineaments and alteration, and under optimal conditions is
reported to demonstrate a ground penetration of up to several thousand meters. A
high sensitivity magnetometer is also flown 25 meters above the EM sensor array.
The sampling frequency of both instruments, coupled with high sensitivity GPS
satellite positioning, provides for samples to be taken every 10 meters along
flight lines having 200 meter spacing. This sampling density permits accurate
three-dimensional delineation of anomalies, largely eliminating ground follow-up
prior to determination of drill targets.


The Company is also reviewing the application of IMM soil geochemical sampling.
This technology employs high-sensitivity analysis of selected "mobile ion"
groups, which provides reliable support information for confirmation of buried
(blind) mineralization. This evaluative technique has been developed in the past
15 years with remarkable success in identification of entirely blind mineralized
zones. 


Northaven anticipates that, provided these tools can be effectively adapted to
conditions prevalent at the Allco Property, they will significantly assist in
the identification of mineralization and geological structures, reducing the
need for extensive ground follow up work and significantly increasing target
confidence levels prior to drilling.


Northaven is currently in the process of arranging equity financing to cover the
cost of proposed work on the Allco and its other properties and to provide
additional working capital, and anticipates announcing particulars of the
financing, along with details of its proposed Allco work program, shortly.
