White Gold Corp. (TSXV:WGO, OTC:WHGOF, FRA:29W) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that further to its news release dated June 10, 2019, the Company has filed a National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) technical report outlining an increased Mineral Resource Estimate for the White Gold property located in Yukon, Canada. The update was performed based on the results of the Company’s 2018 exploration work on the Golden Saddle & Arc deposits. The Company’s 2019 fully funded $13 million program backed by partners Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (TSX: AEM, NYSE: AEM) and Kinross Gold Corp (TSX: K, NYSE: KGC) is underway and includes 17,000 metres of diamond drilling on the Vertigo target (JP Ross property), Golden Saddle & Arc deposits (White Gold property) and QV property.

Resource Highlights Include:

• Indicated Mineral Resource of 1,039,600 gold ounces within 14,330,000 tonnes at 2.26 g/t gold, and Inferred Mineral Resource of 508,700 gold ounces within 10,696,000 tonnes at 1.48 g/t gold, from the Golden Saddle (“GS”) and Arc deposits representing a 25% increase based on 2018 exploration work.
• 8% increase in Indicated Resources and 80% in Inferred Resources.
• Increase in the Golden Saddle driven by the 2018 GS West Zone discovery, expansion of the GS Main and Footwall Zones and expansion of potential underground ounces.
• Increases in the Arc driven by 2018 drilling and updated geologic modelling.
• GS & Arc mineralization remains open along strike and down dip/plunge. Significant ounces added with only 12,368m of drilling in 2018 on these zones.
• GS Main Zone contains a consistent high-grade core of 832,000 gold ounces at a grade of 2.96 g/t gold in the Indicated category and 107,000 gold ounces at a grade of 3.18 g/t gold Inferred using a >1 g/t cut-off. Included in this high-grade core is 525,600 gold ounces at a grade of 4.68 g/t gold in the Indicated category and 81,900 gold ounces at a grade of 4.74 g/t gold Inferred using a >3 g/t cut-off.

“We are very pleased with the significant increase in our mineral resource estimate. This expansion further demonstrates the continued success of our systematic data driven exploration methodologies and the value we are generating across our unique portfolio of properties. Continued expansion of the deposits is one important component of our 2019 exploration program, which has been designed to add additional near-surface ounces to the deposits and demonstrate the potential of the newly identified targets,” stated David D’Onofrio, Chief Executive Officer. “Drilling on the White Gold property is currently underway and we look forward to the upcoming results.”
