June 17, 20201 - White Gold Corp. (TSX.V: WGO, OTC – Nasdaq Intl: WHGOF, FRA: 29W) (the "Company") is pleased to announce it has commenced diamond drilling at the Ryan’s Surprise target (“Ryan’s”) and northern extent of the Ulli’s Ridge target located approximately 2 km west of its flagship Golden Saddle and Arc deposits and 11 km south of the Company’s VG deposit. The Golden Saddle and Arc deposits have a combined mineral resource of 1,139,900 ounces Indicated at 2.28 g/t Au and 402,100 ounces Inferred at 1.39 g/t Au(1) and the VG deposit hosts a historic Inferred gold resource of 230,000 ounces at 1.65g/t Au(2). This activity marks the initiation of the Company’s 2021 exploration program on its extensive 420,000 hectare land package in the emerging White Gold District, west-central Yukon, Canada.

The Ryan's and Ulli’s targets are situated on a 6.5 km long x 1.0 km wide, north-south trend of anomalous gold and arsenic in soils, which extends from the Ulli’s Ridge target in the south to the Teacher’s showing in the north (Figure 1). The close proximity of Ryan’s and Ulli’s Ridge to the Company’s existing mineral resources at Golden Saddle and Arc makes these highly strategic targets. With only limited exploration to date, these targets offer the potential for additional gold discoveries outside the current resource areas.

Highlights Include:

  • Ryan’s is situated on a 6.5km long x 1.0km wide north-south trend of anomalous gold and arsenic in soils, which hosts several other targets including Ulli’s Ridge, Minneapolis Creek, Principal Ridge and Teachers.
  • 2021 diamond drilling comprises 2,500 m in 8 holes to follow up on multiple high-grade gold intercepts from the 2020 diamond drilling program, which included 17.4 g/t Au over 3.47 m in hole WHTRS20D013, 10.96 g/t Au over 3.76 m in hole WHTRS20D017, and 8.69 g/t Au over 12.3 m in hole WHTRS20D018
  • Gold mineralization at the Ryan’s has been encountered in multiple zones which remain open along strike and down-dip.
  • 2021 diamond drilling will also test the northernmost part of the Ulli’s Ridge target, which will be the first-ever diamond drilling of this target to follow up on encouraging 2020 GT probe results, which encountered a 25m wide zone (6 samples) averaging 2.119 g/t Au with a maximum value of 8.516 g/t Au.

We are anticipating another exciting and successful season in 2021 with field programs now underway.” stated Terry Brace, Vice President of Exploration. “The diamond drilling program at Ryan’s Surprise is the first scheduled drilling of the season, and we are eager to follow up on encouraging high-grade gold results from last year’s program. We have a busy exploration season planned across the district and will be providing details in the near future.”

2021 Diamond Drilling Program

Planned 2021 exploration diamond drilling at Ryan’s Surprise and Ulli’s Ridge comprises 2,500 m in 8 holes (Figure 2). Several holes are designed to test for western strike and down-dip extensions of mineralization encountered in 2019 and 2020 drilling. The 2021 program will test the mineralized zones an additional 200 m to the west and to a vertical depth of approximately 425m. Planned holes to the southwest will test for near-surface mineralization indicated by soil and GT Probe anomalies which form the northernmost extent of the Ulli’s Ridge target. In 2020, GT Probe sampling in this area at Ulli’s Ridge returned highly encouraging results, with the northern portion of line WHTGTP20-003 having 6 samples (25m wide) that averaged 2.119 g/t Au including a maximum value of 8.516 g/t Au (see Company News Release dated February 09, 2021). Of note, this part of the Ulli’s Ridge target has not been previously tested by trenching or drilling.

Ryan’s Surprise Target

Gold mineralization was initially discovered at Ryan’s Surprise by Kinross Gold Corp. (TSX: K, NYSE: KGC) in 2011 with diamond drill hole WGRS11D0003 returning 6.33 g/t Au over 6.56 m from 159.44 m downhole. Subsequent drilling by the Company in 2018 through 2020 has continued to encounter gold mineralization in multiple zones which remain open along strike and down-dip. Diamond drilling in 2020 returned several high-grade gold intercepts including 17.4 g/t Au over 3.47 m in hole WHTRS20D013, 10.96 g/t Au over 3.76 m in hole WHTRS20D017, and 8.69 g/t Au over 12.3 m in hole WHTRS20D018 (see Company News Release dated October 14, 2020).
Figure 3 - Structural Interpretation of the Ryan's Surprise
The geology of the Ryan’s Surprise area consists of two primary lithological packages, an upper mafic to ultramafic package comprising amphibolite and pyroxenite, and an underlying metasedimentary sequence of metaquartzite, biotite-quartz-feldspar gneiss and minor biotite schist. The contact between the two packages strikes northwest, is relatively flat-lying, and appears to be a thrust fault (Figure 3). Gold mineralization is structurally controlled by brittle breccia and fracture zones with minor late quartz veining predominantly in the metaquartzite along a 100 m to 125 m wide east-west trending structural corridor. There is a strong association with anomalous arsenic, hydrothermal graphite and sooty pyrite. To date, 18 drill holes totalling 4,406 m have tested the Ryan’s Surprise target along an approximately 300 m strike length and to a vertical depth of 300 m.

Ulli’s Ridge Target

The Ulli’s Ridge target area is located immediately south of Ryan’s Surprise and is characterized by a large northwest-southeast trending coincident gold and arsenic soil anomaly measuring some 1,500 m long by 600 m wide with gold values up to 1585 ppb Au and arsenic values up to 2484 ppm As. Previous trenching and drilling at Ulli’s Ridge have encountered significant gold mineralization including 1.38 g/t Au over 20m in trench WGUR12TR01, 2.58 g/t Au over 3.05m and 6.27 g/t Au over 1.52m in hole WHTULR17RC-001, 9.70 g/t Au over 1.52m in hole WHTULR17RC-002, and 1.40 g/t Au over 7.62m in hole WHTULR19RAB-001. In 2020, GT Probe sampling in this area at Ulli’s Ridge returned highly encouraging results, with the northern portion of line WHTGTP20-003 having 6 samples (25m wide) that averaged 2.119 g/t Au including a maximum value of 8.516 g/t Au.

1.       All drill hole intercepts reported herein are core widths. Currently there is insufficient data to estimate true widths.
2.       GT Probe samples are point samples and results should not be interpreted to represent grade over width.
