White Gold Reports New Gold Drilling Results
White Gold (WHGOF) reports additional assay results from its 2025 diamond drilling program at the flagship Golden Saddle and Arc deposits, located on the White Gold Property in west-central Yukon. Hole WHTGS25D0216 successfully intersected high-grade gold mineralization, returning 3.23 g/t Au over 56.10m, expanding the width of the high-grade core by more than 50m to the west at a vertical depth of 350m, and further demonstrating the potential for additional growth of the high-grade core in multiple directions. The same hole also intersected the Footwall breccia zone beneath the current pit shell, confirming continuity of key mineralization, lithology, and structural features down plunge and along strike. Furthermore, multiple lenses of gold mineralization were intersected in the shallow hanging wall zone, again further supporting recent 3D modeling refinements that capture this mineralization in the hanging wall more consistently, and confirming prospectivity of assaying unsampled historic drill intervals throughout this zone. At the Arc deposit, drilling intersected high grade gold mineralization, including 2.73 g/t Au over 4.35m in WHTAR25D038, as well as multiple other gold intercepts in parallel mineralized panels. Prior to this drilling, Arc mineralization was defined along 1.5 km striking northwest to southeast, and only to an average vertical depth of approximately 120m. These drill results represent the first step in significantly extending Arc mineralization down plunge, which has now been extended by at least 100 m, with the zone remaining open for further expansion. These results form part of the Company's fully funded work program supported by strategic partners including Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM). All of the Company's deposits remain open in multiple directions for further expansion which will be the primary focus of the Company's upcoming fully funded 2026 exploration program. The 2026 exploration program is anticipated to be the largest drill program in the history of the Company and is being designed with the objective of significantly increasing the size of the Company's known large high-grade gold resource and making new gold and critical mineral discoveries across the Company's district scale land package. Further details on the 2026 exploration program will be announced in due course. The company's flagship White Gold project hosts four near-surface gold deposits, which collectively contain an estimated 1,732,300 ounces of gold in indicated resources and 1,265,900 ounces of gold in inferred resources, with significant expansion potential on the resource itself and in the immediately surrounding area. The Golden Saddle Main Zone hosts a consistent high-grade core containing 1,100,000 oz Indicated and 93,000 oz Inferred at a 1.0 g/t cut-off. At 3.0 g/t cut-off, this core contains 695,000 oz Indicated and 35,000 oz Inferred.
