White Gold Overviews

Greg Nolan stands back and looks at the whole White Gold (V.WGO) story.

“Ryan figured out that extracting, assaying, and mapping soil samples is the key to diving the district’s subsurface mineral potential. Just as importantly, he figured out that traditional soil samples—your standard six-inch-deep ‘B-Horizon’ type samples taught in geo-school—was insufficient. You need to go at least 2 1/2 feet down to get a proper response in this region.

Soil augers, on a tightly spaced grid, is how Ryan is systematically exploring this expansive land base.

Between White Gold’s property boundaries and Newmont-Goldcorp’s Coffee Gold Project boundary, Ryan and crew have mapped over 400,000 soil samples… so far. That’s dedication. That’s using good science to home in on gold, base metals, epithermal, mesothermal, mother-lode—whatever the regions subsurface layers may hold.”

Read the whole thing here.

The biggest obstacle White Gold faces is that it has so many stories going on that it is tough for the retail investor to keep up.

Bob Moriarty isn’t even trying. Instead,

“Eric Sprott gets it.

Kinross gets it.

Agnico Eagle gets it.

You don’t have to be as knowledgeable as they are. You can ride on their expertise and experience in the Yukon. Kinross and Agnico Eagle each own just over 17% of the company. They have the right to maintain their level of ownership and when Eric Sprott expressed an interest in investing, they bellied up to the bar to keep their same participation.”

Read the whole thing here.

The placer gold which fueled the Klondike gold rush came from somewhere. The hills surrounding the placer sites around Dawson City would seem the obvious place to look and Shawn Ryan and the team at White Gold has had consistent success. The big question is when will WGO spin its first project out. We may find out this summer or fall.

White Gold Corp. Announces Fully Funded 2020 Exploration Program on its White Gold District Projects, Yukon

White Gold Corp. (TSX.V: WGO, OTC – Nasdaq Intl: WHGOF, FRA: 29W) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce its fully funded 2020 exploration program on its extensive 422,000+ hectare land package, representing over 40% of the emerging White Gold District in Yukon, Canada. The 2020 exploration program which is budgeted at approximately $4.0 Million has been designed to further test existing targets and recent high grade discoveries on the Company’s White Gold, Hen, and JP Ross properties, as well as to identify and advance other targets on its extensive regional land package. Backed by partners Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (TSX: AEM, NYSE: AEM) and Kinross Gold Corporation (TSX: K, NYSE: KGC), the 2020 exploration program is scheduled to commence in the coming weeks.

A district scale map outlining the Company’s planned 2020 exploration work areas and other images accompanying this news release can be found at http://whitegoldcorp.ca/investors/exploration-highlights/.

 “2020 is expected to be another exciting year for White Gold as we diamond drill test recent discoveries at the Ryan’s Surprise and Titan targets, as well as advance other high-priority targets across our expansive land package. Extensive review and analysis performed in the off-season has also provided new interpretations on several projects which we are excited to test. We will also continue to develop a better understanding of the geological and structural framework of our targets for follow up drill testing when ready,” stated Terry Brace, Vice President of Exploration.

Highlights Include:

  • Ryan’s Surprise target (along strike with the Golden Saddle Deposit): 1,500 m diamond drill program to test for strike and down-dip extensions of mineralization encountered with 2019 diamond drilling.
  • Titan target: 1,500 m diamond drill program to test the extents of high-grade mineralization encountered in 2019 rotary air blast (RAB) drilling which included 72.81 g/t Au over 6.09 m from 10.67 m depth, within a 32 m zone of mineralization.
  • Approximately 25 RAB holes will be drilled to test high-priority targets on the White Gold, Hen and JP Ross properties.
  • Mechanical trenching will be carried out on multiple targets on the JP Ross property to collect key structural data to aid in ongoing interpretations and future drill planning.
  • Extensive regional exploration work on other properties will include geologic mapping and prospecting, soil sampling, GT probe sampling, ultra high-resolution drone imagery, and ground magnetics and VLF surveying on the Betty, Nolan, Bonanza and Tea properties.
  • A webinar to provide additional information on the Company’s 2020 exploration plan will take place on Thursday, May 28th, 2020, at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT).  Details below.

White Gold Property Program

The White Gold property hosts the Company’s flagship Golden Saddle & Arc deposits which have a current mineral resource of 1,039,600 gold ounces indicated at 2.26 g/t Au and 508,700 gold ounces inferred at 1.48 g/t Au. Planned 2020 exploration work on the White Gold property includes 1,500 m of diamond drilling at the Ryan’s Surprise (“Ryan’s”) target to test for strike and down-dip extensions of mineralization encountered in 2019, as well as 8 RAB drill holes on high priority targets elsewhere on the property.

The Ryan’s target is located approximately 2 km west of the Golden Saddle deposit and is associated with a large (> 500 m long) gold-in-soil anomaly with values ranging from trace to 1,576 ppb Au. The area has been drill-tested by several companies including Underworld Resources Inc. (2008), Kinross Gold Corporation (2011) and the Company (2018-2019) for a combined total of 15 diamond drill holes (3,152m) and 4 RC holes (682m) and remains open in multiple directions.

Kinross’ diamond drill hole WGRS11D0003 located in the central part of Ryan’s returned 6.33 g/t Au over 6.56 m from 159.44 m downhole, and subsequent exploration drilling by the Company has focused on this general area with holes drilled primarily to the south. A revised geological interpretation in 2019 indicated that the mineralized zone may strike west-southwest and dip steeply to the south-southeast, and the two diamond drill holes drilled to the north to test this interpretation both intersected mineralization. Hole WHTRS19D012 intersected 2.85 g/t Au over 4.14 m from 142.22 m downhole and 2.07 g/t over 21.0 m from 154.00 m downhole, including 3.55 g/t Au over 8.42 m. This latter higher grade zone appears to correlate with a mineralized zone in hole WHTRYN18RC0002 which returned 5.02 g/t Au over 13.72 m from 121.92m downhole, indicating a steep (70°) southerly dip. Hole WHTRS19D0012 also intersected a second mineralized zone higher up the hole in the hanging wall which returned 2.66 g/t Au over 11.00 m from 93.0 m downhole. This hanging wall mineralization may represent a subparallel zone which to date has only been tested by this single hole. The close proximity of Ryan’s to existing mineral resources at Golden Saddle and Arc makes it a strategic target for potential future advancement of these projects.

Hen Property Program

The Titan target is located on the Hen property approximately 25 km northeast of the Golden Saddle and Arc deposits. The Hen property is situated within a prolific placer mining camp where abundant coarse placer gold has been recovered from creek gravels on North Henderson Creek immediately east of the Titan.

The Titan target shows two distinct gold-in-soil anomaly trends along the western (NNW trend) and southern (NE trend) margins of a circular magnetic low with a diameter of approximately 600 m. Six discrete magnetic high features measuring from 100 m to 325 m long lie within the magnetic low. In 2019 soil sampling in the southwestern part of the target area returned a high of 113 g/t Au, which is the highest value ever recorded in the Company’s 400,000+ soil sample database. Rock grab samples from shallow pits in the same area contained fine-grained visible gold and returned assays of 113 g/t Au, 497 g/t Au, and 605 g/t Au. Ground geophysical surveys show that the mineralization is associated with a resistivity low, chargeability high, and magnetic high. In late 2019, the Company drilled 3 RAB holes totalling 221 m to test this surface mineralization. Hole HENTTN19RAB-002 intersected a high-grade mineralized zone which returned 72.81 g/t Au over 6.09 m from 10.67 m downhole including 136.36 g/t Au over 3.05 m within a broader zone of mineralization grading 14.80 g/t Au over 32.00 m. The high-grade interval occurs at the top of the broader zone and currently it is unclear if mineralization noted below the high-grade interval is in-situ or potentially cross-contaminated. However, the anomalous gold assays do correspond with a resistivity low and high magnetic susceptibility measurements to approximately 40 m depth, indicating that the mineralization may be in place.

Based on available data, gold mineralization at Titan is currently interpreted to occur along a discrete high-grade, shallowly north-plunging zone along a northwest-striking and northeast-dipping sheared contact between an upper mafic to ultramafic unit and lower metasedimentary units. Gold mineralization correlates with elevated Bi-Cu-Fe-P+/-U and is associated with strong shearing, semi-massive to massive magnetite, calc-silicate alteration, and fine-grained visible gold within the mafic to ultramafic units.

The planned 2020 drill program consists of 1,500m of diamond drilling focused primarily along the NNW-striking gold-in-soil anomaly which extends from the high-grade intercept in hole HENTTN19RAB-002. Additionally, 7 RAB holes will be drilled to test similar north-trending magnetic high features within the magnetic low, as well as the separate northeast-striking gold-in-soil anomaly along the southern margin of the magnetic low feature.

JP Ross Property Program

The road accessible JP Ross property located approximately 35 km north east of the Golden Saddle & Arc deposits and contiguous to the Hen property where the Titan discovery is located, and hosts multiple gold trends covering an area measuring approximately 15 km x 15 km. A significant component of the 2020 exploration work on the JP Ross property consists of mechanical trenching on a number of existing targets highlighted by 2019 results from soil geochemistry, GT probe samples, VLF surveys, RAB drilling, and geological and structural interpretations. Specific trenching targets include Sabotage, Stagefright, North Frenzy and Vertigo. The primary goal of this work is to collect key structural data on mineralized veins, shear zones, faults, etc. which will aid in ongoing detailed interpretations and planning of future drilling. A total of 8 RAB holes are also planned to test existing targets on the property with final hole locations based on trenching results in conjunction with other exploration results. Additional information on the specific targets and exploration work will be released in due course.

The Regional Program

The 2020 regional exploration program will focus on high priority targets that have been identified in 2019 and prior seasons, and will include soil sampling, GT Probe sampling and ground magnetic and VLF surveys. Additional exploration activities will include geological mapping and prospecting, ultra high-resolution drone imagery in select key areas and a thorough digital compilation of all existing exploration data. The regional exploration program will be conducted across multiple properties and is anticipated to include exploration work on the following properties:

Betty Property

The Betty property is located 65 km southeast of the Golden Saddle and Arc deposits and covers the eastern extension of the Coffee Creek Fault which hosts the Coffee gold deposit owned by Newmont Corporation. Early exploration on the property from 2010-2013 was carried out by Ethos Gold Corp. and included 61 shallow RC holes totalling 7,132 m that mainly tested intrusion-hosted gold ± silver and base metal mineralization in the southeastern part of the property. More recent drilling conducted by Centerra Gold Inc. in 2014 (16 RAB holes totalling 374.9 m) and the Company in 2017–2018 (28 RAB holes totalling 1,827 m) has focused on geochemical targets further north on the property. This area is underlain by metamorphic rocks that are structurally cross-cut by splays of the Coffee Creek Fault. Encouraging results from the Company’s previous campaigns include 1.08 g/t Au over 50.29 m from 4.57 m in hole BETFRDRAB18-002 on the Berry Ford target, with the zone remaining open in all directions.

Planned exploration on the Betty property in 2020 includes a detailed structural and magnetic lineament interpretation utilizing magnetic and Lidar data which is expected to guide ongoing future exploration. Infill soil sampling and magnetic and VLF surveys will also be carried out in high priority areas of the property, with a goal of identifying and refining drill targets for the 2021 exploration season.

Nolan Property

The Nolan property is located 50 km west of Dawson City and covers multiple placer gold-bearing creeks. Numerous gold-in-soil anomalies occur in the northern (Cali, Nine, Nine SW and Sixty South), central (Boucher) and southern (Mount Hart) parts of the property.

The Cali target forms a 4 km long northeast trending gold-in-soil anomaly with values ranging from trace up to 516 ppb Au which is associated with anomalous Sb-As±Ag-Pb. The anomaly occurs along an interpreted northeast striking splay of the Sixty Mile-Pika Fault which separates mafic gneisses in the southeast from quartzites to the northwest. In 2017 the Company drilled 22 short RAB holes totaling 1,386.82 m which tested the target only to a maximum depth of 50 m.

In the Mount Hart area several significant gold-in-soil anomalies have been identified, including Hart South which forms a 2,000 m by 400 m trend with soil values ranging up to 539 ppb Au, and Hart  East which measures 2,500 m by 900 m with soil values ranging up to 399 ppb Au. A series of hornblende diorite plugs intrude locally strongly potasically-altered gneiss in the target area and the geochemical signature points to a porphyry copper target.

Planned work in 2020 includes infill 25 m-spaced soil sampling and ground magnetics and VLF surveying over the Mount Hart target, as well as ground magnetics and VLF over the Cali, Nine, Nine SW and Sixty South targets in the northern part of the property.

Bonanza Property

The Bonanza property is located 10 km south of Dawson City immediately east of Bonanza Creek, one of the richest placer gold creeks in the world. The claims adjoin Klondike Gold Corp.’s Eldorado property to the east and south. Exploration work carried out on the Bonanza property to date includes geological mapping, 50 m-spaced soil sampling (3,765 samples), GT probe sampling (300 samples), 250 line km of airborne DIGHEM geophysical surveying, and 5 RAB holes totaling 444.99m drilled by the Company in 2018. A favourable geological contact between the Klondike Schist to the north and the Snowcap Assemblage to the south extends through the southern portion of the property, and the geophysical surveys have outlined a pronounced north-trending magnetic low lineament and corresponding DIGHEM resistivity low which extends through the property and may represent a fault structure. Several gold-in-soil anomalies have also been identified in the southern and northwestern portions of the property.

Planned exploration work in 2020 includes infill soil sampling at 25 m spacings on several of the existing gold-in-soil anomalies, as well as ground magnetic and VLF surveys. This work will provide greater resolution for ongoing structural interpretations and target definition.

Tea Property

The Tea property is located 50 km south of the Golden Saddle and Arc deposits and is strategically located 10 km south of Newmont Corporation’s Coffee project and 10 km west of Western Copper & Gold Corporation’s Casino project. The Tea property covers 17 km of favourable geology underlain by prospective rocks of the Klondike Schist and Snowcap Assemblage, with potential for hosting orogenic gold mineralization. The Tea property has seen very limited previous exploration, and planned work for 2020 includes first-pass ridge and spur soil sampling designed to identify favourable areas for future follow-up exploration.

White Gold Corp. Further Extends VG Deposit Mineralization and Advances New High Priority Targets in Close Proximity to VG Deposit on QV Property

White Gold Corp. (TSX.V: WGO, OTC – Nasdaq Intl: WHGOF, FRA: 29W) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce positive RC drill results on its recently acquired VG Deposit located on the QV Property. The drilling extended known mineralization which remains open in all directions and shows similarities to the nearby Golden Saddle deposit. The QV Property was acquired in early 2019 and contains the VG Deposit, which hosts an historic inferred gold resource of 230,000 oz at 1.65 g/t Au(1) and several highly prospective undrilled targets in close proximity. The QV Property is historically underexplored and demonstrates strong similarities and prospective geology as that found on both the White Gold and JP Ross properties. Drilling in 2019 was designed to step-out on the VG deposit along strike to the NE and SW, and to infill gaps in the deposit’s historic resource model. The Company’s fully-funded $13 million 2019 exploration program, backed by partners Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (TSX: AEM, NYSE: AEM) and Kinross Gold Corp (TSX: K, NYSE: KGC), includes diamond drilling on the Vertigo target (JP Ross property), Golden Saddle & Arc deposits (White Gold property) as well as soil sampling, prospecting, GT Probe sampling, trenching and RAB/RC drilling on various other properties across the Company’s expansive land package located in the prolific White Gold District, Yukon, Canada.

Highlights Include:

  • QV Property was acquired in early 2019 and includes the VG Deposit which hosts a historic Inferred gold resource of 230,000 oz at 1.65 g/t Au. The property has geologic similarities to both the newly discovered Vertigo target as well as the Company’s flagship White Gold property which has a mineral resource of 1,039,600 ounces Indicated at 2.26 g/t Au and 508,700 ounces Inferred at 1.48 g/t Au. The QV is vastly underexplored and a high priority for follow-up exploration.
  • 2019 activity included 870m of RC drilling across 8 holes, designed to step-out along the strike of the deposit to the NE and SW, and to infill gaps in the deposit’s historic resource model. LiDAR was also completed over the southern portion of the property and a total of 1,466 soil samples were collected.
  • Golden Saddle style gold mineralization was intercepted in every hole at the VG deposit. Results confirmed continuity of mineralization and extended the current deposit limits. The VG deposit remains open in both directions along strike and downdip. 
  • 2019 Drill highlights include QVVGRC19-005 which intercepted 50.3m of 2.07 g/t Au, QVVGRC19-007 intercepting 38.10m of 1.97 g/t Au, QVVVGRC19-006 intercepting 36.58m of 1.42 g/t Au, QVVVGRC19-002 intercepting 33.54m of 1.09 g/t Au, and QVVVGRC19-001 intercepting 10.67m of 2.09 g/t Au.
  • Multiple underexplored, high-priority targets exist surrounding the VG resource on the QV property, including the Tetra, Shadow and Stewart gold targets, which warrant follow-up exploration based on exploration performed to date.

“We are very pleased with the results of our 2019 RC drill program on the recently acquired VG Deposit. The program further expanded the footprint of the deposit, which continues to remain open along strike and at depth and refined the geologic model for continued follow up work. Furthermore, the mineralization, alteration, geochemistry and structural controls of the VG are remarkably similar to our flagship Golden Saddle deposit just 10km to the south,” stated David D’Onofrio, Chief Executive Officer. “This property has seen very limited exploration to date and we are confident that our team is well positioned to maximize the value of the VG deposit and the several other highly prospective and untested new targets on the property through leveraging our innovative data driven exploration methodologies.”

The VG Deposit
The historic Inferred Mineral Resource estimate for the VG deposit is 230,000 ounces of gold (4,390,000 tonnes at an average gold grade of 1.65 g/t), as of June 3rd, 2014. The Mineral Resource estimate was prepared for Comstock Metals Ltd. by Lions Gate Geological Consulting Inc. and reported in its press release dated July 8th, 2014, and is based on Comstock data (including collar, survey, lithology and assay data), using the Inverse Distance Squared (ID2) method with appropriate estimation parameters in accordance with industry standards. The estimate needs to be verified by the Company by conducting detailed data and QA/QC validation, including location, geological, density and assay data. More recent drilling data will be incorporated into a future resource update. A qualified person for the Company has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate at QV as current Mineral Resources, therefore the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current Mineral Resources and the historical resource should not be relied upon.

2019 Exploration Summary
A total of 870.2m of RC drilling over 8 holes was completed on the VG Zone. The holes were designed to step-out on the deposit along strike to the NE and SW, evaluate gaps in the historic resource model, and twin historic diamond holes for QA/QC purposes. Individual assay results for the 2019 program ranged from trace to 11.9 g/t Au with additional detail provided below.

The results from 2019 activities, in addition to the 2017 historic drilling performed after the historic resource calculation was completed, prove that the VG deposit is open along strike to the NE, continues to be open at depth, and has great potential to expand and upgrade the current resource area with future activity. The QV also hosts several highly prospective new targets which remain underexplored further adding to the property’s potential for new discoveries.

The mineralization on the VG deposit is hosted along a NE trending, gently south dipping structural zone that has been traced for over 700m at surface and consists of disseminated to vein-controlled pyrite with brecciation, stockwork quartz-carbonate veining, and sericite alteration.

Mineralization on the VG consists of a several tabular, NE trending, shallowly N dipping bodies of mineralization associated with strong quartz-sericite-illite alteration with brecciation and stockwork to lode style quartz veining and disseminated to fracture controlled pyrite and rare visible gold. The mineralization is coincident with anomalous Mo (+/-Pb) and strongly resembles mineralization on the Golden Saddle Deposit; approximately 10km to the south and is open along strike and at depth. The mineralization occurs adjacent to the Telegraph Fault, a NE trending, subvertical normal fault that has locally offset the mineralization.

A summary of significant assay results is presented in Table 1 and a description of the holes is below.

QVVGRC19-001 is a 50m step out located on the southeastern margin of the VG deposit on the VG South body. The hole returned 10.67m of 2.09 g/t Au from 4.57m depth; including 1.52m of 7.83 g/t Au from 10.67m depth. The intercept confirms mineralization on the VG continues along strike to the east of the historic resource area and is still open along strike.

QVVGRC19-002 is a 110m step-out to the northeast of the VG deposit and returned 7.62m of 4.03 g/t Au from 86.87m depth; including 3.04m of 7.80 g/t Au from 89.92m depth. This intercept occurs within a broader envelope of anomalous mineralization (>0.1 g/t Au) and the overall interval averages 1.09 g/t Au over 33.54m from 65.53m depth. The intercept confirms mineralization on the VG continues along strike to the NE of the historic resource area and is still open along strike and down dip.

QVVGRC19-003 is located 205m west of QVVGRC19-002 and was drilled to test along the western edge of the historic resource pit. The hole returned 13.71m of 0.67 g/t Au from 36.58m depth, with individual 1.52m sample values up to 2.41 g/t Au.

QVVGRC19-004 is located 135m W-NW of QVVGRC19-002 and outside the historic resource pit. The hole was terminated prior to target depth due to poor ground conditions.

QVVGRC19-005 was drilled as a twin of historic hole QV12-006 for QA/QC purposes. The hole returned 50.3m of 2.07 g/t Au from 70.1m depth; including 3.05m of 7.88 g/t Au from 76.2m depth, 12.19m of 3.29 g/t Au from 102.11m depth and 4.57m of 5.46 g/t Au from 103.63m depth. This compares favorably with the intercept of 41.43m of 2.00 g/t in historic hole QV12-006

QVVGRC19-006 infilled a 95m gap between historic holes QV12-006/008 & QV12-001/002/004. The hole returned 36.58m of 1.42 g/t Au from 80.77m depth; including 9.14m of 2.71 g/t Au from 86.87m depth. This result confirms grade continuity and compares favourably with grades from surrounding historic drill holes.

QVVGRC19-007 was drilled as a twin of historic hole QV12-002 for QA/QC purposes. The hole returned 38.10m of 1.97 g/t Au from 21.34m depth; including 9.14m of 3.70 g/t Au from 28.96m depth and 3.05m of 3.68 g/t Au from 48.77m depth. The hole also intercepted a 9.14m zone of 0.99 g/t Au from 68.58m depth. These results are both slightly higher than the results from QV12-002 which were 40.40 m of 1.64 g/t Au and 8.40m of 0.68 g/t Au from the two zones respectively.

The 2019 drilling program successfully confirmed historic results, continuity of mineralization and extended the current deposit limits. The VG deposit remains open in both directions along strike and downdip.

Historical work on the VG Deposit
The most recent historic work on the property prior to its acquisition by the Company in 2019 occurred in 2017 and included six diamond drill holes on the VG which expanded the footprint of known mineralization beyond the limits of the prior historic resource calculation. Significant results from the 2017 program included 1.42 g/t gold over 45.5m from 67.5m down hole in hole QV17-018, which expanded the mineralization 125 metres down dip from previous drilling and 1.48 g/t gold over 51.2m from 98m down hole in hole QV17-019, which expanded the mineralization 45m west of previous drilling.

Additional work on the QV Property has included soil sampling, GT Probe sampling, trenching, IP-Resistivity surveys, airborne magnetic-radiometric surveys, geological mapping/prospecting and minor RAB drilling. This work has defined other priority targets with similarities to the Company’s Golden Saddle deposit and recently discovered Vertigo zone warranting follow up exploration including the Stewart, Tetra and Shadow targets.

QV Property
The QV property covers 16,335 hectares (40,000 acres) and is 10km north of the Company’s White Gold property which hosts its Golden Saddle & Arc deposits, 20 km southwest of the Company’s Vertigo discovery on its JP Ross property, and 44 kilometres northwest of Newmont Goldcorp’s Coffee project. At least 3 other high priority targets are currently recognized on the property including the Stewart, Tetra, and Shadow zones. Additionally, large portions of the QV property are historically underexplored and are open for potential new gold discoveries. Strong geological similarities have been noted between the QV property and the Company’s adjacent White Gold and JP Ross properties.

In 2019, airborne LiDAR was completed over the southern portion of the property and a total of 1,466 soil samples were collected over two grids on the QV property. The most significant results were from a previously unsampled area in the central portion of the QV property and included samples ranging from trace to 106.2 ppb Au. This includes expansion of the Tetra zone approximately 500m to the west, and the Tetra target now covers a 1,500m x 600m area and is associated with an E-W trending magnetic low interpreted as a potentially mineralized structure.

Follow up work on the Tetra and other targets across the QV property will be a priority for future exploration campaigns. Further detail on the high priority targets is outlined below.

Stewart Target: Located 5km N-NW of the VG and consists of a 1.5km, E-W, trending gold in soil anomaly, with values from trace to 274.1 ppb Au and anomalous Bi-Ag-Te-Mo. The target occurs adjacent to a Jurassic intrusive that may be associated with mineralization in the area.

Tetra Target: Located 8km N of the VG and consists of a 1.5km, E-W, trending gold in soil anomaly, with values from trace to 151.5 ppb Au. The target occurs along an interpreted E-W oriented fault based on magnetic data for the area and is open and unexplored to the west.

Shadow Target: Located 12 km north of the VG zone and consists of multiple gold in soil anomalies, ranging from trace to 514ppb Au and up to 2.7km long, associated with a series of NW and ENE trending structures. Strongly anomalous Ag-Pb-Bi+/-As+/-Mo also occur in the area, and the overall geochemical and structural setting is similar to the Company’s Vertigo discovery 23km to the east.

QA/QC
The analytical work for the 2019 drilling program was performed by ALS Canada Ltd. an internationally recognized analytical services provider, at its Vancouver, British Columbia laboratory.  Sample preparation was carried out at its Whitehorse, Yukon facility. All RC chip and diamond core samples were be prepared using procedure PREP-31H (crush 90% less than 2mm, riffle split off 500g, pulverize split to better than 85% passing 75 microns) and analyzed by method Au-AA23 (30g fire assay with AAS finish) and ME-ICP41 (0.5g, aqua regia digestion and ICP-AES analysis). Samples containing >10 g/t Au will be reanalyzed using method Au-GRAV21 (30g Fire Assay with gravimetric finish).

The reported work was completed using industry standard procedures, including a quality assurance/quality control (“QA/QC”) program consisting of the insertion of certified standard, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream.

White Gold Corp. Intercepts Significant Gold Values on Multiple New Drill Targets Across the White Gold Property, Confirming and Extending Regional Scale Mineralization Surrounding the Company’s Flagship Golden Saddle & Arc Gold Deposits

White Gold Corp. (TSX.V: WGO, OTC – Nasdaq Intl: WHGOF, FRA: 29W) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drill results on multiple newly identified drill targets located across its White Gold property, in the prolific White Gold District, Yukon, Canada. Significant gold mineralization was encountered on several targets located in the area surrounding the Golden Saddle & Arc deposits. These targets were discovered through the Company’s proprietary, data driven exploration strategy and include the McKinnon East, Ulli’s Ridge, Minneapolis Creek and several other targets. The 2019 RAB drill program was designed to drill a limited number of holes per target as a preliminary evaluation of the target areas with preliminary drilling of the additional new targets and follow up to be performed in 2020. White Gold Corp’s fully-funded $13 million 2019 exploration program backed by partners Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (TSX: AEM, NYSE: AEM) and Kinross Gold Corp (TSX: K, NYSE: KGC) included diamond drilling on the Vertigo target (JP Ross property), Golden Saddle & Arc deposits (White Gold property) as well as soil sampling, prospecting, GT Probe, trenching and RAB/RC drilling on various other properties across the Company’s expansive land package located in the prolific White Gold District, Yukon, Canada.

Highlights Include:

  • White Gold Corp’s proprietary, data driven exploration methodology successfully confirms near surface gold mineralization across multiple additional newly identified targets on the White Gold property in the area surrounding its flagship Golden Saddle & Arc deposits.
  • First RAB drilling on newly identified target areas validated prospectivity of multiple gold zones over a 11km by 5km trend.
  • Significant mineralization was encountered on the McKinnon East, Ulli’s Ridge and Minneapolis Creek targets all within a 5km radius of the Golden Saddle deposit to be followed up in 2020.
  • Additional new targets on trend remain untested and will receive first RAB drilling in 2020.
  • Results indicate significant potential for additional gold discoveries outside of current resource areas as targets have only had limited and shallow drilling to date.

“We are very encouraged with these positive drill results in such close proximity to our flagship deposits with our first RAB drilling on newly identified targets. With only a few holes drilled on each target in a first-pass, shallow drill program, this further validates the effectiveness of our exploration methodologies, the large scale of the mineralized system and the potential for additional new discoveries on this underexplored trend which has now been expanded to an area of roughly 55 km2. We look forward to our first drilling on the additional new targets identified on this trend and following up on these results in the upcoming season,” stated David D’Onofrio, Chief Executive Officer.

Geochemical Trends on White Gold Property
Extensive soil sampling and other exploration activity on the White Gold Property has outlined an area approximately 11 kilometres north south and 5 kilometres east west of anomalous geochemistry including the Golden Saddle and Arc deposit resource areas. Surrounding these resource areas are a number of gold occurrences, which appears to indicate two different geochemical signatures. The Golden Saddle, Donahue North and South and McKinnon East and West occurrences appear to be gold only systems, while the Arc, Ulli’s Ridge, Ryan’s Surprise, Minneapolis Creek and Teacher’s occurrences have Au-As-Sb-Mo geochemical signatures. To date most zones outside of the resource areas have seen only limited and shallow drilling, and significant potential for additional gold discoveries remains. Highlights from the 2019 RAB drill program on the White Gold property are detailed below.

2019 RAB Drilling on White Property
A total of 1,344m of RAB drilling over 20 holes was conducted on the White property in 2019, primarily performing an initial evaluation on 7 of the newly identified target areas generated from soil sampling, prospecting and geologic mapping, GT Probe sampling, trenching, and geophysical data as previously announced on August 22, 2019. Assay values for the drilling ranged from trace to 4.68 g/t Au. There is not currently enough information to determine true thickness of the reported results.

McKinnon East
The McKinnon East target is approximately 5.5km to the southeast of the Golden Saddle deposit and covers a 1,200m x 250m, northwest trending gold in soil anomaly with values of up to 1,696ppb Au. RAB drilling followed up on gold anomalies in soil samples, trench grab samples of up to 68.9 g/t Au, prospecting samples of up to 49.9 g/t Au and historic drilling. Highlights of the historic drilling is shown below. Most of these highlights occur within broader low-grade intervals.

WHTMK18RC-00416.7619.813.054.35

Highlights of the 2019 RAB drilling include:

WHTMKE19RAB-001 was drilled at an azimuth of 180° and a dip of -60°. This hole targeted an E-W trending structure, including heavily oxidized material, seen in nearby trenching which returned values up to 1.51 g/t Au. The hole returned 15.24 m of 0.519 g/t Au from surface.

WHTMKE19RAB-002 was drilled at an azimuth of 180° and a dip of -60°. This hole was targeting a gold in soil anomaly and the western projection of the E-W structure tested by WHTMKE19RAB-001 and returned 9.15 m of 0.92 g/t Au from 24.38m depth including 6.09 m of 1.31 g/t Au.

WHTMKE19RAB-003 was drilled at an azimuth of 180° and a dip of -60°. The hole targeted an E-W trending structure as seen in in two 2009 McKinnon East trenches that tested the geochemical anomaly. The hole returned 53.34m of 0.35 g/t Au from 4.57m depth, including 6.1 m of 1.39 g/t Au.

Compilation of 2019 and historic drill data on the McKinnon East target indicate that the zone is open for further testing, particularly to the east and warrants follow up exploration activity.

Ulli’s Ridge
The Ulli’s Ridge target is approximately 2.5 km southwest of the Golden Saddle deposit and covers a 2,000m x 500m, north-northwest trending zone of gold in soil anomalies with values up to 1,585ppb Au. RAB drilling followed up on GT Probe results that included multi-station GT probe hits of up to 1.625 g/t Au prospecting samples of up to 8.3 g/t Au and trenching samples of up to 1.5 g/t Au. Highlights of 3 RC holes that were drilled on a single section in 2017 are shown below.

WHTULR17RC-00379.2582.303.052.19

Highlights of the 2019 RAB drilling include:

WHTULR19RAB-001 was drilled at an azimuth of 180° and a dip of -60°. The hole targeted gold anomalies in soil samples, GT Probe samples and prospecting samples (up to 8.3 g/t Au) and returned 7.62 m of 1.4 g/t Au from 24.38m depth including 1.52 m of 3.81 g/t Au.

WHTULR19RAB-003 was drilled at an azimuth of 235° and a dip of -60°. The hole targeted gold anomalies in soil samples and trench samples (up to 1.5 g/t Au) and returned 1.53 m of 4.27 g/t Au from 35.05m depth.

Results suggest that Au at the Ulli’s Ridge target is associated with As and Mo values in a NNW-SSE trending system which remains under explored and open in multiple directions and warrants follow up exploration activity. There is a 300 metre gap between the limited drill testing that has been carried out and the northernmost 1,000 metres of the anomaly has seen no drill testing to date.

Minneapolis Creek
The Minneapolis Creek target is approximately 3.5 km northwest of the Golden Saddle deposit and covers a strong 1,000m x 250 northwest trending gold in soil anomaly with values of up to 1,590ppb Au. RAB drilling followed up on gold anomalies in soil samples, prospecting samples with values up to 5.02 g/t Au and multi-station GT Probe hits with values of up to 1.78 g/t Au, all within an airborne magnetic high.

WHTMCR19RAB-002 was drilled at an azimuth of 360° and at a dip of -70°. The hole was targeted based on gold anomalies in soils samples, trench samples and GT Probe samples and intersected 3.05 m of 1.52 g/t Au from 0.00m. The hole only reached 10.67m due to ground conditions and did not reach its target.

Results to date from Minneapolis Creek suggest that Au is associated with As in a NW-SE trending system which remains under explored in both directions and warrants follow up exploration activity.

QA/QC
The analytical work for the 2019 drilling program was performed by ALS Canada Ltd. an internationally recognized analytical services provider, at its North Vancouver, British Columbia laboratory. Sample preparation was carried out at its Whitehorse, Yukon facility. All RC chip and diamond core samples were prepared using procedure PREP-31H (crush 90% less than 2mm, riffle split off 500g, pulverize split to better than 85% passing 75 microns) and analyzed by method Au-AA23 (30g fire assay with AAS finish) and ME-ICP41 (0.5g, aqua regia digestion and ICP-AES analysis). Samples containing >10 g/t Au were reanalyzed using method Au-GRAV21 (30g Fire Assay with gravimetric finish).

The reported work was completed using industry standard procedures, including a quality assurance/quality control (“QA/QC”) program consisting of the insertion of certified standard, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream.

About White Gold Corp.
The Company owns a portfolio of 21,207 quartz claims across 33 properties covering over 422,730 hectares representing over 40% of the Yukon’s White Gold District. The Company’s flagship White Gold property has a mineral resource of 1,039,600 ounces Indicated at 2.26 g/t Au and 508,800 ounces Inferred at 1.48 g/t Au. Mineralization on the Golden Saddle and Arc is also known to extend beyond the limits of the current resource estimate. Regional exploration work has also produced several other prospective targets on the Company’s claim packages which border sizable gold discoveries including the Coffee project owned by Newmont Goldcorp Corporation with a M&I gold resource(1) of 3.4M oz and Western Copper and Gold Corporation’s Casino project which has P&P gold reserves(1) of 8.9M oz Au and 4.5B lb Cu.

(1) Noted mineralization is as disclosed by the owner of each property respectively and is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization hosted on the Company’s property.

Qualified Person
Jodie Gibson, P.Geo., Technical Advisor, and Andrew Hamilton, P.Geo., Exploration Manager, for the Company are each a “qualified person” as defined under National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, and each has reviewed and approved the content of this news release.

Potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource at the White Gold property beyond the Golden Saddle & Arc existing resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the targets being delineated as a mineral resource.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Information
This news release contains “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of the applicable Canadian securities legislation. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements and are based on expectations, estimates and projections as at the date of this news release. Any statement that involves discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions, future events or performance (often but not always using phrases such as “expects”, or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “plans”, “proposed”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “forecasts”, “estimates”, “believes” or “intends” or variations of such words and phrases or stating that certain actions, events or results “may” or “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken to occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. In this news release, forward-looking statements relate, among other things, the Company’s objectives, goals and exploration activities conducted and proposed to be conducted at the Company’s properties; future growth potential of the Company, including whether any proposed exploration programs at any of the Company’s properties will be successful; exploration results; and future exploration plans and costs and financing availability.

These forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates of management of the Company at the time such statements were made. Actual future results may differ materially as forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to materially differ from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors, among other things, include; expected benefits to the Company relating to exploration conducted and proposed to be conducted at the Company’s properties; failure to identify any additional mineral resources or significant mineralization; the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results; uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, including to fund any exploration programs on the Company’s properties; business integration risks; fluctuations in general macroeconomic conditions; fluctuations in securities markets; fluctuations in spot and forward prices of gold, silver, base metals or certain other commodities; fluctuations in currency markets (such as the Canadian dollar to United States dollar exchange rate); change in national and local government, legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic developments; risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations pressures, cave-ins and flooding); inability to obtain adequate insurance to cover risks and hazards; the presence of laws and regulations that may impose restrictions on mining and mineral exploration; employee relations; relationships with and claims by local communities and indigenous populations; availability of increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development (including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses, permits and approvals from government authorities); the unlikelihood that properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines; geological factors; actual results of current and future exploration; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be evaluated; soil sampling results being preliminary in nature and are not conclusive evidence of the likelihood of a mineral deposit; title to properties; and those factors described in the most recently filed management’s discussion and analysis of the Company. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this news release are based upon what management of the Company believes, or believed at the time, to be reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure shareholders that actual results will be consistent with such forward-looking statements, as there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information, or the material factors or assumptions used to develop such forward-looking information, will prove to be accurate. The Company does not undertake to release publicly any revisions for updating any voluntary forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable securities law.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.
