White Gold Corp. (TSX.V: WGO, OTCQX: WHGOF, FRA: 29W ) (the "Company") is pleased to provide an exploration update on the Bridget and Isaac porphyry targets located on the Pedlar and Hayes properties, respectively. Exploration work completed during 2023 included Induced Polarization (IP) chargeability and resistivity survey lines and hyperspectral analysis on 2022 prosecting rock samples. All data collected thus far on these large early-stage targets continue to support a porphyry deposit model.

The Pedlar and Hayes properties are situated in the southern part of the Company's 315,000 hectare (3,150 km 2 ) land package in the White Gold District, west-central Yukon (Figure 1). Western Copper and Gold Corporation's Casino copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry deposit (Measured & Indicated Resources of 7.6 Blb copper and 14.5 Moz gold and Inferred Resources of 3.3 Blb copper and 6.6 Moz gold) sits approximately 30 km southwest and 40 km west of the Bridget and Isaac targets respectively. Casino is one of the largest undeveloped copper-gold projects in Canada, and since 2021 has seen strategic investments by major partners including Rio Tinto Canada Inc. and Mitsubishi Materials Corporation. The Pedlar and Hayes properties are also located 40 km and 72 km southeast, respectively, of the Company's flagship White Gold project which contains an estimated 1,152,900 ounces of gold in Indicated Resources and 942,400 ounces of gold in Inferred Resources ( 1) .

Warriedar Resources Managing Director Amanda Buckingham.

Warriedar Resources Exec Shares "Recipe for Success" at Golden Range Project

In mid-March, Warriedar Resources (ASX:WA8) reported the intersection of significant intervals of gold mineralisation at the Ricciardo deposit within its Golden Range project in Western Australia.

Managing Director Amanda Buckingham shared the company’s plan to move the project forward with a three-fold strategy that includes finding more gold at Ricciardo, stepping out at the Golden Corridor and looking for additional resources.

“We will drill our main resource deposit called Ricciardo and then we will move out,” she said. "We have six deposits in what we are calling the Golden Corridor ... So we're (then) going to step out and drill into and below the resources in that corridor. And then the third important ingredient to our recipe for success is that we own 70 kilometres of the main belt, and we will go out looking for additional gold deposits along that main shear.
