Marathon’s Infill Drilling Continues Hitting New High-Grade Open-Pit Gold: 12.49 g/t Au over 13.0m, 4.19 g/t Au over 12.0m and 3.73 g/t Au over 15.0m, Valentine Lake Gold Camp, NL

Drilling Highlights:
Part of the challenge in exploration is matching data to theory at the tip of a drill. When Canadian Orebodies (V.CORE) purchased the Black Raven property in April 2017, the initial data that was inherited included a set of historical drill cores which had been drilled by a prior operator, Entourage Metals. This core suggested that there was a narrow, high-grade vein which was called the Super G.

When you are speaking with Marcio Fonseca you actually hear two different voices: the first is the measured voice of a professional geologist on the trail of a discovery, the second is the seasoned voice of an investment banker fully aware of the economics of mining.
White Gold Corp. (TSX.V: WGO, OTC – Nasdaq Intl: WHGOF, FRA: 29W) (the “Company) is pleased to announce additional drill results from its Golden Saddle deposit and the new Ryan’s Showing discovery on its White Gold property, Yukon, Canada. Drilling on the Golden Saddle identified new zones of high-grade gold mineralization in the Golden Saddle Upper Zone (“GS Upper Zone”) which is above the Golden Saddle Main Zone (“GS Main Zone”). The drilling also added additional continuity to the geological model, infilling gaps and significantly increasing the thickness of mineralization in the GS Main Zone in certain areas.
