Rockhaven Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:RK) ("Rockhaven") is pleased to announce
the final 2013 excavator trench assays and preliminary gravity and bulk sulphide
flotation metallurgical results from the Western BRX Zone on its 100% owned
Klaza gold-silver property, located in the Dawson Gold Belt of southwestern
Yukon.

--  Preliminary sequential gravity and flotation tests on sulphide-bearing
    drill core from holes in this area produced excellent combined
    recoveries of 97.6% for gold and 98.3% for silver. 



"We are very excited about the high-grade gold and silver results returned from
recently completed trenches at the Western BRX Zone," stated Matt Turner, CEO of
Rockhaven. "This focused program has better defined the controlling structure
and will be followed up by aggressive diamond drilling in 2014 to delineate
areas of high-grade gold and silver that were only partially outlined by
previous widely-spaced drilling. The 2014 program will also target potential
fault-offset extensions of this high-grade mineralization further to the west.
Additionally, the preliminary metallurgical test results from 2012 drill core in
holes down dip of the trenches demonstrates that most of the gold and silver
should be recoverable through conventional flotation techniques."


BRX Zone

The BRX Zone is a linear, mineralized structure that has exceptional lateral
continuity. Gold and silver are hosted in veins emplaced alongside or in close
proximity to a feldspar porphyry dyke. Systematic excavator trenching and
diamond drilling by Rockhaven since 2010 has tested the BRX Zone with 39
trenches and 36 holes over a strike length of 2,400 m and to a maximum down-dip
depth of 400 m.


Infill and step-out excavator trenching in 2013 at the Western BRX Zone
confirmed continuity of the mineralized structure and further delineated areas
of high-grade gold and silver that were partially outlined by widely spaced
drill holes in 2011 and 2012. Previously announced diamond drill highlights from
this area include DDH-12-96 which averaged 5.78 g/t gold and 111 g/t silver
(8.00 g/t gold EQ) over 15.62 m (see Rockhaven news release dated October 2,
2012) and DDH-11-37 which returned 5.43 g/t gold and 50 g/t silver (6.43 g/t
gold EQ) over 14.80 m (see Rockhaven news release dated November 2, 2011).


The best results are located along a 450 m section of the vein that is situated
between two northeast trending off-set faults. The sense and magnitude of
displacement along the westerly fault has not yet been determined, although
mineralized structures have been identified on the more distal western side.
Continued trenching and drilling across linear magnetic lows and soil
geochemical anomalies in this area is planned for 2014 to target potential
fault-offset extensions of high-grade mineralization at the BRX, Klaza and other
zones.


Twenty-two excavator trenches tested the Western BRX Zone in 2013, and the most
significant assay results are shown in the table below. Maps showing the
locations of the trenches and nearby drill holes can be viewed on Rockhaven's
website at www.rockhavenresources.com.

Preliminary Sequential Gravity and Bulk Sulphide Flotation Test Results

Preliminary mineralogical and scoping level metallurgical tests are currently
being conducted on sulphide-bearing drill core from the Western BRX Zone to
investigate mineral associations and evaluate potential concentration and
recovery methods. Both test programs are being carried out by SGS Mineral
Services at its laboratory in Vancouver, British Columbia.


A single composite was designed to represent typical sulphide mineralization
from the Western BRX Zone using coarse reject material from 10 previously
reported drill holes. This composite has a head grade of 7.02 g/t gold and 205
g/t silver. Gold and silver deportment and quantitative mineralogy results show
that gold largely occurs as native gold or electrum, with a high degree of
liberation. Silver mainly occurs with pyrargerite, tetrahedrite and electrum,
which are also well liberated from gangue and non-ore sulphide minerals.
Mineralogy was investigated using the widely recognized quantitative evaluation
of minerals by scanning electron microscopy (QEMSCAN) technique.


Standard E-GRG (Gravity Recoverable Gold) tests were performed using three
stages of sequential separation. Results of the E-GRG tests suggest minimal gold
and silver can be recovered by gravity, with recoveries of 12.9% and 5.8%,
respectively.


Follow-up flotation testing investigated the potential to obtain a
precious-metal rich bulk sulphide concentrate. Initial rougher flotation tests
conducted on the gravity tailings showed recoveries of 97.3% gold and 98.2%
silver to a flotation concentrate, for a combined gravity/flotation recovery of
97.6% gold and 98.3% silver. Work continues to further upgrade the flotation
concentrate through variation of rougher reagents, cleaner flotation tests,
evaluation of the impact of finer grind sizes, and investigation of sequential
flotation of sulphides. Results from this ongoing test program will be released
as they become available.


The following table summarizes the metallurgical results returned to date from
the composite of samples from the Western BRX zone.

There is currently no mineral resource at the Klaza property. Recovery values
are from initial metallurgical test work and do not include potential
optimizations.


2013 Exploration Program

The 2013 field program at the road-accessible Klaza project consisted of
approximately 5,000 m of excavator trenching in 38 trenches. It focused on
extending and confirming continuity within the Klaza and BRX Zones as well as
discovering new mineralized zones in other areas of the property that have not
been systematically explored to date. Results from the remaining metallurgical
test work on composites from the Western BRX, Western Klaza, Eastern BRX and
Eastern Klaza Zones is underway and results will be announced once finalized.


All significant assays from 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 diamond drilling and
excavator trenching can be viewed on the Company's website
(www.rockhavenresources.com), including geological maps, cross-sections and
assay histograms.


Trench samples included in this press release were processed in 36 sample
batches with each batch including two assay standards, two blank samples, and a
coarse reject duplicate. Analytical work was done by ALS Minerals with sample
preparation in Whitehorse and assays and geochemical analyses in North
Vancouver. All samples were routinely analyzed for gold by fire assay followed
by atomic absorption (Au-AA24) and 48 other elements by four acid digestion
(ME-MS61). All overlimit values were determined for gold by fire assay and
gravimetric finish (Au-GRA22) and for silver using Ag-OG46 and Ag-GRA21). All
gold and silver grades reported in this release were calculated from the assay
results. All standard, blank and duplicate samples passed QAQC reviews.


The 2013 program was managed by Archer, Cathro & Associates (1981) Limited
(Archer Cathro). Technical information in this news release has been approved by
Matthew R. Dumala, P.Eng., a geological engineer with Archer Cathro and
qualified person for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101.
