On November 14, 2023, White Gold Corp. has released results for 2023 exploration diamond drilling at the Betty Ford target on the Betty property. Assay results for hole BETFD23D015 include 5.04 grams per tonne gold over 20.85 metres within the near-surface oxide domain from 18.65 m depth, including two higher-grade subintervals grading 13.34 g/t Au over 2.30 m and 11.47 g/t Au over 2.05 m. A zone of gold mineralization was also encountered deeper within the sulphide domain of the host breccia unit, grading 0.44 g/t Au over 28.55 m from 107.85 m depth and including a subinterval of 1.38 g/t Au over 6.15 m. The 2023 diamond drilling also encountered a second breccia unit approximately 30 to 50 m north of the main gold-bearing breccia, with the potential for near-surface gold mineralization in the oxide portion of this breccia remaining untested. On November 08, 2023, White Gold Corp. has released additional results for the 2023 exploration diamond drilling at the Betty Ford target on the Betty property. The new assay results include 2.96 grams per tonne over 46.5 metres from 11.5 m depth in hole BETFD23D014, including a higher-grade subinterval of 5.03 g/t Au over 25 m, which significantly expanded the width of the near-surface high-grade gold zone to the south. Results for hole BETFD23D012 and partial results for hole BETFD23D013 were announced previously on Sept. 7, 2023, highlighted by 3.38 g/t Au over 53 m from 7.3 m depth in BETFD23D013. Results for hole BETFD23D015 remain pending but are expected to be received and announced in the near future. The Betty property lies along strike and approximately 40 kilometres east-southeast of Newmont Corp.'s Coffee gold deposit with indicated resources of 2.14 million ounces gold and inferred resources of 230,000 oz gold. The Betty property is also contiguous to and 15 km northeast of Western Copper and Gold Corp.'s Casino porphyry copper-gold project with measured and indicated resources of 14.8 Moz gold and 7.6 billion pounds copper and inferred resources of 6.3 Moz gold and 3.1 Blb copper. Betty Ford is located approximately 65 km southeast of the company's flagship White Gold project in west-central Yukon, Canada, which comprises 16 million tonnes averaging 2.23 g/t Au for 1,152,900 ounces of gold in the indicated resource category and 19 million tonnes averaging 1.54 g/t Au for 942,400 ounces of gold in the inferred resource category. This drill program forms part of the company's 2023 fully financed exploration program on its extensive and underexplored 350,000-hectare land package in the emerging White Gold district, Yukon, supported by strategic partners Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. and Kinross Gold Corp. On September 07, 2023, White Gold Corp. announced the partial results from 2023 exploration diamond drilling at the Betty Ford target on the Betty property including 3.38 g/t Au over 53.0 m from 7.30 m depth in hole BETFD23D013, which included higher grade subintervals of 7.19 g/t Au over 6.30 m and 8.00 g/t Au over 4.35 m. Results of diamond drilling at the Vertigo target on the JP Ross property include 1.4 g/t Au over 58.4 m in hole JPRVER23D0052 from 40.95 m depth, and JPRVER23D0051 which intersected three zones of high-grade gold mineralization. Betty Ford and Vertigo (Figure 1) are located approximately 65 km southeast and 30 km northeast respectively from the Company’s flagship White Gold Project in west-central Yukon, Canada, which comprises 16 million tonnes averaging 2.23 g/t Au for 1,152,900 ounces of gold in the Indicated Resource category and 19 million tonnes averaging 1.54 g/t Au for 942,400 ounces of gold in the Inferred Resource category (1). On August 15, 2023, White Gold Corp. has commenced its maiden diamond drilling program at the Cali target on the Nolan property in the White Gold district, situated in the west-central region of Yukon, Canada. The Cali target is located approximately 77 km west from Dawson City via the Top of the World Highway, connecting Dawson City to Alaksa, and is perched in the hills surrounding the Sixty Mile River. Historically, the Sixty-Mile River has produced significant amounts of placer gold since the late 19th century, however the area has received minimal modern hard rock exploration. Planned maiden diamond drilling at Cali in 2023 (Figure 2) is designed to test for gold mineralization along a continuous 2 km long multi-element soil anomaly coincident with the Sixtymile-Pika Fault, a large regional structure which bisects the property. The Cali target represents one of the Company's several compelling grassroot projects in the underexplored White Gold District which provide the opportunity for new discoveries in addition to the Company's recently announced gold discoveries and its flagship White Gold Project which comprises 16 million tonnes averaging 2.23 g/t Au for 1,152,900 ounces of gold in the Indicated Resource category and 19 million tonnes averaging 1.54 g/t Au for 942,400 ounces of gold in the Inferred Resource category(1) which remains open for expansion. This drill program forms part of the Company's 2023 fully funded program on its extensive 350,000 hectare land package in the emerging White Gold District, Yukon, supported by strategic partners Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (TSX: AEM, NYSE: AEM) and Kinross Gold Corporation (TSX: K, NYSE: KGC). On July 20, 2023, White Gold Corp. has provided an update on regional components of the 2023 exploration program which are designed to test several of White Gold's most prospective, yet relatively untested soil geochemical targets which are sizable enough geochemical footprints that, if successful, could be capable of hosting significant deposits. As part of this regional program, the company designed maiden rotary air blast (RAB) drilling on the Wolf and Toonie properties to test large soil geochemistry anomalies on both properties, identified through the company's systematic exploration approach that has led to several other discoveries on its other properties.

On July 06, 2023, White Gold Corp. has commenced exploration diamond drilling at the Betty Ford target on the Betty property located in the White Gold district, west-central Yukon, Canada, approximately 65 kilometres southeast of the company's flagship White Gold project which comprises 16 million tonnes averaging 2.23 grams per tonne gold for 1,152,900 ounces of gold in the indicated resource category and 19 million tonnes averaging 1.54 g/t Au for 942,400 ounces of gold in the inferred resource category which remains open for expansion. The Betty property is located approximately 40 km east of Newmont Corp.'s Coffee gold deposit (indicated resources of 2.14 million oz gold and inferred resources of 230,000 oz gold) and 15 km northeast of Western Copper and Gold Corp.'s Casino porphyry deposit (measured and indicated resources of 14.8 Moz gold and 7.6 billion pounds copper and inferred resources of 6.3 Moz gold and 3.1 Blb copper). Planned drilling at Betty Ford in 2023 will continue to evaluate the zone of near-surface high-grade gold mineralization, which has previously returned intersections of 3.46 g/t Au over 50 metres (BETFD21D003) and 1.17 g/t Au over 48 m (BETFD21D001) during maiden drilling in 2021, and 8.94 g/t Au over 18.29 m (BETFD22RC004) and 1.50 g/t Au over 55.20 m (BETFD22D007) in follow-up drilling in 2022. The focus of the 2023 drill program is to test for a mineralized buried porphyry at depth and possible feeder contact/structure for the near-surface gold mineralization. This drill program forms part of the company's 2023 fully financed exploration program on its extensive and underexplored 350,000-hectare land package in the emerging White Gold district, Yukon, supported by strategic partners Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. and Kinross Gold Corp. On June 21, 2023, White Gold Corp. announced that the exploration diamond drilling has commenced at the Vertigo target on White Gold Corp.'s JP Ross property located in the White Gold district, west-central Yukon, Canada. Vertigo is located approximately 30 kilometres northeast of the company's flagship White Gold project which comprises 16 million tonnes averaging 2.23 grams per tonne Au for 1,152,900 ounces of gold in the indicated resource category and 19 million tonnes averaging 1.54 g/t Au for 942,400 ounces of gold in the inferred resource category. Drilling at Vertigo is planned to test a revised structural interpretation developed from a recent analysis of structural data which has identified multiple untested vein sets in the hangingwall. The presence of these vein sets can potentially improve the continuity of the gold mineralization, thereby increasing the chances of delineating a bulk-tonnage high-grade gold and silver deposit. Vertigo is road accessible which has provided the opportunity to commence work on this project as the company prepares for it coming diamond drilling on its Betty and Nolan properties. This drill program forms part of the company's 2023 fully financed exploration program on its extensive and underexplored 350,000-hectare land package in the emerging White Gold district, Yukon, supported by strategic partners Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. and Kinross Gold Corp. On June 15, 2023, White Gold Corp. has released its plans for its fully financed 2023 exploration program on its district-scale, 350,000-hectare land package, representing over 40 per cent of the emerging White Gold district in Yukon, Canada. The 2023 program is designed to further evaluate targets on the Betty and JP Ross properties and to perform maiden diamond drilling on the Cali target located on the Nolan property. Other regional exploration work includes maiden rotary air blast (RAB) drilling on the Wolf and Toonie properties and a significant early-stage exploration program to identify and advance other targets on the company's extensive and underexplored land package in which the company has made several high-grade gold discoveries in addition to significantly increasing resources at the company's flagship White Gold project which comprises 16 million tonnes averaging 2.23 grams per tonne Au for 1,152,900 ounces of gold in the indicated resource category and 19 million tonnes averaging 1.54 g/t Au for 942,400 ounces of gold in the inferred resource category and remains open for expansion. "We are excited to kick off our 2023 exploration programs in the White Gold district," stated Terry Brace, the company's vice-president of exploration. "Diamond drilling at Betty Ford is primarily designed to test the mineralized system at depth, essentially looking for evidence of an underlying porphyry as well as trying to identify the feeder to gold mineralization that occurs near surface. We have also reviewed the existing structural information at Vertigo, including borehole optical televiewer data and vein measurements recorded in trenches, and feel this year's drill orientation will more effectively test the multiple mineralized vein sets at Vertigo. The planned diamond drill holes at the Cali target are widely spaced holes designed to test this two-kilometre-long gold and multielement soil geochemical anomaly which occurs along a major regional structure, so we really like the apparent size and geological setting of Cali." On June 08, 2023, White Gold Corp. has filed a technical report in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 -- Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects to update the mineral resource estimate (MRE) on its 100-per-cent-owned flagship White Gold project. The technical report entitled "2023 Technical Report for the White Gold Project, Dawson Range, Yukon, Canada" and dated May 30, 2023 (effective date April 15, 2023), has been prepared for the company by Dr. Gilles Arseneau, PGeo, of Arseneau Consulting Services Inc. (ACS). The technical report is available on SEDAR under the company's issuer profile. "We are very pleased with the significant increase in our mineral resources, which remains open for expansion, ranking the White Gold project amongst the largest primarily open-pit deposits at such high grades in Canada owned by an exploration company. We look forward to continuing exploration on our district-scale land package in the prolific White Gold district which hosts several multimillion-ounce deposits along with an extensive history of placer gold production. This updated and increased resource is a testament to the success of our technical team and the effectiveness of our systematic data driven exploration methodologies in exploring and demonstrating the expansiveness of gold mineralization in the White Gold district," stated David D'Onofrio, chief executive officer On April 25, 2023, White Gold Corp. has released an updated mineral resource estimate (MRE) for its flagship White Gold project located approximately 95 kilometres south of Dawson City in west-central Yukon, Canada. The White Gold project now comprises 16 million tonnes (Mt) averaging 2.23 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) for 1,152,900 ounces (oz) of gold in the indicated resource category and 19 million tonnes averaging 1.54 g/t Au for 942,400 ounces of gold in the inferred resource category. Exploration programs supporting the MRE have been backed by partners Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. and Kinross Gold Corp. Highlights:
"We are very pleased with the significant increase in our mineral resources. In a relatively short period of time, we have delineated a very large gold resource, with significant opportunity for continued expansion. The White Gold project now ranks amongst the largest primarily open-pit deposits at such high grades in Canada owned by an exploration company. The updated and increased resource is a testament to the success of our technical team, our systematic data-driven exploration methodologies and the expansiveness of gold mineralization in the White Gold district. The company's efficient and scalable exploration methodology clearly demonstrates the vast potential within the property and the district to efficiently add high-quality gold ounces. We would like to thank all our partners and stakeholders for their continued support in what we believe is the early days for the development of the White Gold district into a significant new Canadian mining camp," stated David D'Onofrio, chief executive officer. On April 05, 2023, White Gold Corp. has released an exploration update on two large copper-molybdenum porphyry targets on its Pedlar and Hayes properties situated in the southern portion of its 350,000-hectare land package, located approximately 25 kilometres northeast and 30 km east of Western Copper and Gold Corp.'s Casino copper-gold porphyry deposit, respectively. The Casino deposit has measured and indicated resources of 7.6 Blb (billion pounds) copper and 14.8 Moz (million ounces) gold and inferred resources of 3.1 Blb copper and 6.3 Moz gold; it is contiguous to the company's Betty property. The company is primarily targeting similar Casino-style porphyry mineralization on these early-stage projects. These results form part of the company's 2022 $6-million exploration program on its extensive and underexplored land package in the emerging White Gold district, Yukon, supported by strategic partners including Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. and Kinross Gold Corp. On February 23, 2023, White Gold Corp. has released additional assay results from its 2022 diamond drilling program on the Ryan's Surprise and Ulli's Ridge targets, as well as rotary air blast (RAB) drilling results from previously undrilled targets along the Ryan's Trend, a 6.5-kilometre-long north-northwest-striking zone of anomalous gold and arsenic in soils. The Ryan's Surprise and Ulli's Ridge targets are located approximately two kilometres (km) west of the company's 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 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) and 402,100 ounces inferred at 1.39 g/t Au and the VG deposit hosts an inferred gold resource of 267,600 ounces at 1.62 g/t Au. These assays represent additional positive results from the company's $6-million 2022 exploration program on its extensive and underexplored 350,000-hectare land package in the emerging White Gold district, Yukon, supported by strategic partners, including Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. and Kinross Gold Corp. "We are very pleased to see the significant extension of mineralization at the Ryan's Surprise almost doubling its strike length, as well as the discovery of gold mineralization at multiple other targets in first-ever drilling along this underexplored trend which has now encountered gold mineralization over a length of 5.5 km. The abundance of gold mineralization and its vicinity to our flagship gold deposits is very encouraging for the continued expansion of our significant gold resources in this area. Over all, 2022 was a very successful year in which we continued to demonstrate the growth potential of our flagship project, which ranks amongst the largest high-grade gold deposits in the Yukon, and also expand our exciting new high-grade Betty discovery, contiguous to Newmont's Coffee project and Western Copper and Gold's Casino project," stated David D'Onofrio, chief executive officer.
