The Company may pay finder's fees in connection with part of this private placement offering. The net proceeds will be used to fund exploration and/or drilling at the Company's 100% owned Skoonka, Shovelnose, and Prospect Valley gold properties and for general work purposes. All securities issued in the Offering are subject to a four-month hold period, during which time the securities may not be traded. It is anticipated that insiders of Westhaven will participate in the private placement on the same terms and conditions as arm's length subscribers.
