White Gold Corp. Enhances High-Grade Gold Mineralization at Golden Saddle, Discovering 6.9 g/t Gold Over 50.2 Metres in the Main Zone and Expanding High-Grade Footwall Breccia and Hanging Wall Deposits
Drilling Results: White Gold Corp. reported significant assay results from its 2025 diamond drilling program at the Golden Saddle deposit, including a high-grade intersection of 6.89 g/t Au over 50.2 meters in the Main Zone and 6.89 g/t Au over 2.8 meters in the footwall breccia, confirming continuity of mineralization.
Resource Potential: The company's flagship project contains an estimated 1,732,300 ounces of gold in indicated resources and 1,265,900 ounces in inferred resources, with ongoing exploration expected to further enhance these figures.
Strategic Focus: The 2025 exploration program emphasizes resource growth by targeting high-grade zones and refining geological models, with additional drilling results pending from both the Golden Saddle and Arc deposits.
Future Plans: Following a successful initial drilling phase, White Gold Corp. is preparing for a fully funded 2026 exploration program, aiming to expand its resource base in the Yukon, a region known for its rich mineral deposits.
