White Gold Corp. Further Outlines Two Large Copper-Molybdenum Porphyry Targets in Close Proximity to the Casino Copper-Gold Porphyry Deposit

White Gold Corp. (TSX.V: WGO, OTCQX: WHGOF, FRA: 29W ) (the "Company") is pleased to provide 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, and located approximately 25 km northeast and 30 km east of Western Copper and Gold Corporation's Casino copper-gold porphyry deposit respectively. The Casino deposit has Measured & Indicated Resources of 7.6 Blbs copper & 14.8 Moz gold and Inferred Resources of 3.1 Blb copper & 6.3 Moz gold ( 4 ) and is contiguous to the Company's Betty property (see Figure 1). 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 Limited and Kinross Gold Corporation.

Terry Brace, VP Exploration stated, "Our primary exploration focus is discovering new orogenic gold deposits in the White Gold District and growing our existing gold resources. However, the Yukon is rich in various other metals which is also the case in our large land package. The Bridget porphyry target on the Pedlar property has been known for decades but has seen minimal exploration and no diamond drilling. The Hayes is a recently identified porphyry target and has seen only soil sampling and limited mapping and prospecting. The soil geochemistry anomalies at both targets have the earmarks of large porphyry systems, with apparent mineralization footprints in the order of several kilometres each, which in combination to their proximity to the Casino deposit, make them very compelling targets warranting further exploration work."

"The Yukon is an area with vast mineral potential that remains largely underexplored. The recent investment in the Yukon, and in particular the White Gold District by numerous major mining companies further enhances our belief in the robust mineral potential. White Gold's large land package and unique exploration methodologies, which have led to several significant high grade gold discoveries already, represents a truly unique district scale opportunity in a premier underexplored district in a tier 1 mining jurisdiction," stated David D'Onofrio, CEO of the Company.

Highlights

The Bridget soil anomaly on the Pedlar property measures 3 km NW-SE by 3.5 km NE-SW and is interpreted to represent a copper-molybdenum porphyry target. It is geochemically zoned with a molybdenum-copper-bismuth core and a silver-zinc-lead-tungsten halo. Rock grab samples collected on the Pedlar property in 2022 included copper-gold-silver values up to 1425 ppm Cu, 0.421 g/t Au and 5.588 g/t Ag which were returned from a sample located approximately 3 km east of the main Bridget target suggesting the potential for further expansion of the already large footprint.
The Hayes soil anomaly is a newly discovered target which measures 2 km E-W by 1.5 km N-S, and is interpreted to represent a copper-molybdenum porphyry target. It is geochemically zoned with a bismuth-arsenic-copper-molybdenum core and a silver-zinc-lead halo. Rock grab samples collected at the Hayes target included 730.6 – 1269.2 ppm Cu.
The results on both targets and their proximity to other porphyry deposits validate their porphyry potential and warrants additional exploration, including induced polarization – resistivity surveys and initial diamond drilling to further evaluate their potential.
The Company also continues to work on its updated mineral resource estimate to incorporate the results from drilling at the Ryan's Surprise target into its flagship Golden Saddle, Arc & VG gold deposits and aims to release the update in the near term.
Details of the Company's fully funded 2023 exploration program focused on new discovery follow-up, target evaluation and continued regional exploration to be announced in the coming weeks.

Overview

The Bridget and recently identified Hayes soil geochemical anomalies represent highly prospective early-stage porphyry targets in an area with several significant existing porphyry deposits that warrant additional exploration. The Company's immediate goal is to develop a better understanding of the alteration and mineralization system at the targets, followed by diamond drill testing as warranted. Induced polarization – resistivity surveys are required to better define the character of the targets at depth. Additionally, the geochemistry of surface rock samples which were collected during the 2022 field season will be examined in detail, and the samples will be scanned with an ASD Terraspec mineral analyzer to aid in identifying associated alteration mineral assemblages.

Regional Setting – The Dawson Range

The Dawson Range forms an east-southeast trending mountain range which hosts several important mineral deposits and prospects (Figure 2) including the Casino porphyry Copper-Gold deposit in the west. In the southeast near the community of Carmacks, the Minto Mine contains resources of 356 Mlb copper, 189 Koz gold, and 1.7 Moz silver in Indicated Resources and 370 Mlb copper, 207 Koz gold, and 1.9 Moz silver in Inferred Resources ⁽⁵⁾ (Minto Metals Corp.), and the Carmacks Copper project hosts 652 Mlb copper, 302 Koz gold, 3.8 Moz silver in Measured and Indicated Resources and 38 Mlb copper, 13 Koz gold, and 215 Koz silver in Inferred Resources ⁽⁶⁾ (Granite Creek Copper Ltd.), both interpreted to represent metamorphosed Cu-Au-Ag porphyry deposits. Porphyry deposits in the Dawson Range can be divided into 2 major ages, Late Triassic (Minto, Carmacks) and Late Cretaceous (Casino, Cash, Revenue). In addition to porphyry mineralization, epithermal, skarn, and polymetallic to gold-dominant mineralized veins, breccias and fracture zones also occur throughout the Dawson Range ⁽⁷⁾ . In recent years this area has drawn increased attention and investment from both junior and major mining companies due to its high mineral potential.

Pedlar Property

The Pedlar property was first explored by Silver Standard Mines Ltd. ("Silver Standard") and Asarco Exploration Company of Canada Ltd. ("Asarco") in the early 1970's following the discovery of the Casino porphyry deposit located 25 km to the southwest. A series of regional silt samples, soil sampling, and geophysical programs by Silver Standard in 1971 and 1972 led to the discovery of a significant Copper-Molybdenum geochemical anomaly, now known as the Bridget target. Since its initial discovery, the Bridget target has seen intermittent exploration by various operators, including Shawn Ryan and Ethos Gold Corp. (now Prospector Metals Corp.). The limited exploration to date has continued to expand the anomaly's known footprint measuring 3 km NW-SE by 3.5 km NE-SW through soil geochemical sampling (Figure 3), prospecting, mapping, and geophysical surveys. In 2016 White Gold Corp. acquired ownership of the property and has continued to advance the project through soil sampling, geological mapping and prospecting, and in 2018 rotary air blast (RAB) drilling (10 holes totalling 548.6 m). The RAB holes were short testing to a maximum vertical depth of only 70 m. Hole PEDBRGRAB18-009 intersected two narrow intervals of molybdenum mineralization including 622.3 ppm Mo over 1.5 m from 12.2 m, and 631.9 ppm Mo over 1.5 m from 30.5 m.

Geological and structural mapping at the Bridget target in 2018 by consulting structural geologist Dr. Michael Cooley indicates that the bedrock geology is characterized by WNW-ESE trending units. Hornblende gneiss dominates in the northern part of the area, with a narrow (300 m) zone of felsic gneiss at the center, and metasedimentary schist and gneiss in the southern half of the area that includes a distinctive megacrystic kyanite-andalusite bearing unit and marble units that are largely altered to calc-silicate skarn (Photo 1). At least two distinct generations of felsic dykes and sills that strike northwest-southeast to east-west were recognized: 1) quartz eye granite dykes/sills; and 2) aplite dykes/sills. Field evidence for a porphyry mineralization model includes shreddy biotite (Photo 2), local occurrences of magnetite alteration, and potassic alteration where molybdenite was observed in quartz veinlets in float (Photo 3).

Analytical results for rock grab samples collected during the 2022 mapping and prospecting program at the Bridget target were generally consistent with the chemical zonation displayed in the soil geochemistry and complimented historical results on the property. The highest copper-gold-silver values (1425 ppm Cu, 0.421 g/t Au, 5.588 g/t Ag) were returned from a sample located approximately 3 km east of the main Bridget target along a series of previously unmapped ridge and spur soil samples (13 samples, 600m long, Cu values up to 465.5 ppm Cu) suggesting the potential for the further expansion of the already large footprint (see Figure 3).

Additional field work on the Pedlar property in 2022 approximately 15 km from the main Bridget target consisted of a soil geochemistry survey in the southeastern portion of the property and mapping and prospecting primarily in the Bridget target area. The soil survey was designed to follow up on previous reconnaissance ridge and spur soil sampling to identify new targets on the Pedlar property and comprised a total of 452 soil samples which were collected at 50 m sample intervals on 100 m spaced survey lines. The soil grid covered an area measuring 2 km southeast-northwest by 1 km northeast-southwest over an area underlain by Minto suite intrusive rocks which are prospective for copper-gold-silver porphyry mineralization. The soil survey did not identify additional significant copper-gold-silver anomalies in this area of the property.

Hayes Property

A soil geochemistry survey in 2021 identified a new multi-element anomaly in the north-central part of the Hayes property located approximately 5 km south of the Yukon River (see Figure 4 and Company News Release dated April 21, 2022). During the 2022 field season additional soil sampling was carried out to extend coverage peripheral to the anomaly and extending several kilometres to the northwest to cover similar prospective geology.

The known soil anomaly measures approximately 2 km east-west by 1.5 km north-south and forms a broad geochemically zoned multi-element soil anomaly with a central core measuring from 750 m to 1,000 m in diameter and enriched in bismuth and arsenic, which is surrounded by a halo of anomalous silver, lead and zinc that is greater than 400 m wide. Anomalous copper occurs in the southern portion of the core, and a relatively small area of anomalous molybdenum occurs near the core's northern margin. Geologically the soil anomaly is associated with a plug of Late Cretaceous Prospector Mountain suite, which is known to be prospective for porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum and epithermal style mineralization. The geochemical zonation and elemental distributions indicate that the anomaly may represent the surface expression of a Copper-Molybdenum porphyry core surrounded by epithermal style silver-lead-zinc mineralization.

Follow-up geological mapping and prospecting in the Hayes soil anomaly area has returned anomalous copper values from the core area of the soil anomaly, with three grab samples returning from 730.6 – 1269.2 ppm Cu (see Figure 4).

The Prospector Mountain suite plug and associated Hayes soil anomaly are located in the hanging wall of the Yukon River Thrust that thrusts rocks of the Simpson Range suite over Snowcap assemblage. The anomaly appears to be confined to a single fault block between two major WNW-ESE trending faults and two NW-SE trending second order faults. The WNW-ESE faults are subparallel to the Yukon River Thrust and Pyroxenite Fault located 4.5 km and 1.5 km south respectively of the anomaly. The Company considers the close proximity of the Hayes target to a possible crustal scale fault as favourable for the development of hydrothermal and mineralizing systems.

Sampling Methods and Analysis

Soil Samples
All 2022 soil geochemistry surveys were contracted to GroundTruth Exploration Inc. of Dawson City, Yukon. Field technicians navigated to pre-planned sample sites using handheld GPS units and collected C-Horizon soil samples using an Eijklcamp brand hand auger at a depth of between 20 cm and 110 cm. Typically, 400 to 500 g of soil is placed in a pre-labeled bag, and a field duplicate sample is taken once every 25 samples. The GPS location of the sample site is recorded with the GPS unit, and the waypoint location is labeled with the project name and the sample identification number. A weather-proof handheld device equipped with a barcode scanner is used in the field to record the descriptive attributes of the sample collected, including sample identification number, soil colour, soil horizon, slope, sample depth, ground and tree vegetation, sample quality, and any other relevant information.

Analytical work for the 2022 soil geochemistry surveys was carried out at Bureau Veritas (BV) Canada, with preparation completed at their Whitehorse, YT facility and analysis at their hub laboratory located in North Vancouver, BC. All soil samples were assayed for gold and a 37 multi-element suite using 0.25g aqua-regia digestion and ICP-MS analysis (Code AQ201). BV is an ISO 9001:2008 accredited facility, certificate number FM63007.

Prospecting Rock Samples
All 2022 prospecting and mapping work was completed by White Gold Corp. field personnel. Geologists completed field mapping traverses over soil geochemical anomalies to locate, identify, and characterize the source of the targeted anomalies. Structural measurements were collected using a structural mapping compass, with field notes collected and recorded in a handheld digital logging device. Rock samples selected for assay were placed in a poly sample bag with its corresponding sample tag and then sealed shut. The GPS location of the sample site is recorded with a GPS unit, and the waypoint location is labeled with the project name and the sample identification number. The weather-proof handheld device equipped with a barcode scanner is used in the field to record the descriptive attributes of the sample. At the end of each day, all samples were transported back to a secure location, where they awaited transport to the laboratory.

Analytical work for all 2022 prospecting rock samples was performed by Bureau Veritas (BV) Canada, with preparation completed at their Whitehorse, YT facility and analysis at their hub laboratory located in North Vancouver, BC. All rock samples were prepared using the PRP70-250 package, where samples were weighed, dried, and crushed to greater than 70% passing a 2mm sieve, then pulverized to greater than 85% passing 75 microns. Rock samples were analyzed in accordance with BV's FA430 and MA250 packages, for both gold analysis by fire assay (30g fire assay with AAS finish) and ultra-trace multi-element ICP analysis (0.25 g, 4 acid digestion and ICP-MS analysis). BV runs a comprehensive QA/QC program of standards, duplicates, and blanks within each sample stream.

Lode Gold: 2024 Year-End Review and 2025 Outlook

Lode Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: LOD) (OTCQB: SBMIF) ("Lode Gold " or the "Company") is pleased to provide a year-end update.

Dear Investors,

I am excited to update you on our progress since I took over as CEO less than a year ago, just before Christmas in December 2023. With the support of the board, key shareholders, and the dedicated Lode Gold team, we have raised $6M since March 2024 and completed numerous tasks to reorganize the Company. These efforts have positioned us for future success and growth, and I am grateful for the continued support and confidence you have shown in our vision.

Strategy: Create Two Pure Play Companies to Unlock Value and Attract New Investors

Last year, around this time, I met with bankers to discuss how we plan to unlock value by spinning out the Company's assets to create two pure-play companies. This strategy resonated with many as Lode Gold has key assets situated in highly prospective mining regions in Canada and the United States. This initiative immediately creates two $7M companies from one $7M entity, thereby generating accretive value for shareholders.

Focus on Intrinsic Asset Value vs Market Cap: Do some small-cap stocks outperform large-cap investments in the long run?

Clifford Asness, who played a key role in building Goldman Sachs' Global Alpha before founding AQR, and now manages over $33 billion in assets, published a whitepaper that challenged the Efficient Market Theory. It stipulated that value may be factored into price with large-cap companies, but it may not be the case with small-cap stocks¹. It states that with small or micro-cap stocks, the Less-Efficient-Market Hypothesis often holds. Why? The market is inherently inefficient due to a fragmented shareholder base and a lack of distribution, awareness and liquidity. As such, if capital is patient, investing in a small-cap stock may result in a higher return on investment in the long run compared to a large-cap stock.

In the case of Lode Gold, the intrinsic value, verified with a third-party NI 43-101 technical report, has an NPV USD $370M, yet the market cap trades at a fraction of the real value. Notwithstanding, a planned spin-out transaction valued at an additional $7.65M (pre-money value to current Lode Gold shareholders) has already obtained conditional approval.

This is a value proposition, validated by smart money: strategic investors and institutional shareholders; a total of four own approximately 60%. Intrigued by the potential of this undervalued play, I accepted the challenge of leading its turnaround and growth.

Near-Term: Gold Orogen spin out to unlock value for shareholders

The company has three key orogenic assets, with proven gold endowment.

To unlock value for shareholders; immediately we are spinning out the Canadian assets into a new company, Gold Orogen. Each Lode Gold shareholder will get shares of Gold Orogen; via a tax-efficient spin-out.

Additionally, a $3M raise has been completed at Gold Orogen, based on a $7.65M pre-money valuation. The current valuation for Lode Gold, the parent company, is at $7M. We are topping up with an additional $1.5M to ensure a $4.5M investment program for 2025 at Gold Orogen; as such both the assets in Yukon and NB will be drilled in the upcoming exploration season in the new year. Post-money, Gold Orogen will be at $12M+.

A gold asset on the Mother Lode Belt with MRE: 1 (M&I) + 2 (Inferred) Moz Au and a 2023 PEA: USD $370M (NPV 5%) will remain in the parent co, Lode Gold. Lode Gold intends to pursue a high grade underground mine opportunity. This project sits on 100% privately owned patented land where the mining license was suspended in 1942 due to the war effort.

Spin Out Unlocks Shareholder Value: Confirmed gold endowment and RIRGS on Tombstone Belt

The spin-out will result in the formation of two pure-play companies, each focused on specific areas of exploration in Canada and the US.

Company 1: Spin Co - Gold Orogen

Asset 1:

27 km strike, 99.5 km²in Yukon, prolific Tombstone Belt (Snowline, 3 Aces, Sitka Gold)
Total of four Reduced Intrusive Targets (RIRGS)

Asset 2:

New Brunswick: Created one of the largest land packages (420 km²)
Geological analogue to New Found Gold, Galway, Calibre Mining and Puma-Kinross
Confirmed gold endowment

Company 2: Parent - Lode Gold

Lode Gold is the first company to evaluate this project from an underground perspective.

Brownfield, previously mined at 8 g/t in the 1940's.
4 km strike on the 190 km mineralized Mother Lode Belt: 50,000,000 oz produced
100% owned private and patented land: 3,351 acres, Mariposa County
California: 700 permitted mines; 14 gold
Mine suspended in 1942 due to gold prohibition in WWII
Target: 2 Moz underground 5 g/t Au
Typical Orogenic Deposit with Structural Controls
3 Step-Out Holes hit structure (up to 1,200 m)
2 nearby mines were up to 1,800 m deep at 13 g/t
43,000 m drilled with 23 km of underground workings
11% of the veins (2 of 7 deposits) exploited; mostly in the first 250 m
2023 MRE: 1 Moz (M&I) + 2 Moz (Inferred)
2023 PEA at USD $2,000/oz Au: After-tax NPV (5%) USD $370M, 31% IRR, 11 years LOM
Close to road, rail, power, water

Milestones Achieved in 2024:

1. Executed Spin Out Plan

Received conditional acceptance from the TSXV for the spinout transaction

2. Improved Capital Structure

Lode Gold added two additional key institutional and strategic shareholders
For $3M, a 19.9% strategic joint venture partner with strong technical expertise, was added to the new Spin Co
Tight share structure: 10:1 consolidation. About 40.000,000 shares outstanding for both companies

3. Cleaned Up Balance Sheet

Converted a secured debt holder to be the second-largest shareholder
Repaid shareholder working capital loan
Resolved a legacy lawsuit and eliminated a $1.6M liability

4. Enhanced Value of Assets in Yukon, New Brunswick and California

New Brunswick:
- Created one of the largest land packages in the province, potentially a district play
- Completed comprehensive geophysics and soil sampling to define drill targets
Yukon:
- Identified four RIRGS targets for exploration work in 2025
- Confirmed RIRGS at WIN; high bismuth : gold ratio, gold-bearing sheeted quartz veins, hosted in hornfels

California:
- The first to review the project from an underground perspective
- Completed Geological Model: 11% of the veins exploited, in 2 out of 7 deposits. Most extraction in the first 250 m. 3 step-out holes at depth, mineralized and hit structure, a typical orogenic deposit
- Commissioned NI 43-101 to update the 2023 MRE

5. Strengthening the Lode Gold Team

Enhanced bench strength by adding key personnel to the technical and marketing teams, visit our website to view their full bios (lode-gold.com)
Addition of Martin Stratte, Lode Gold's former Director of the Board, to our Advisory Team. He was previously on the permitting team at Castle Mountain, Equinox Gold (2018-2021). The project was acquired for $200 million in 2018, and it was permitted in 2021

Upcoming Catalysts in 2025

Spin Co: Shareholders get shares of a new company
Drilling to investigate 4 RIRGS reduced intrusive targets in Yukon Tombstone Belt, 200 km from Snowline
Drilling in New Brunswick assets upon systematic exploration: geophysics, soil sampling, mapping, geochemistry
California: Revised NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate (updating 2023 MRE and investigating high grade underground potential)
California: Evaluate reactivating a previous mine, where the license was suspended during WWII

Invest in One Company, Get Shares of Two Companies: Optionality on three key assets

Investing in Lode Gold presents an exciting opportunity for shareholders to benefit from an advanced gold exploration project and a forthcoming spinoff with two high-value assets. This strategic move is aimed at unlocking maximum value for investors, who will gain exposure to three highly prospective gold assets through shares in two separate companies.

Wishing you a season filled with joy and prosperity.

Yours truly,

Wendy T. Chan. CEO & Director

About Lode Gold

Lode Gold (TSXV: LOD) is an exploration and development company with projects in highly prospective and safe mining jurisdictions in Canada and the United States.

In Canada, its Golden Culvert and WIN Projects in Yukon, covering 99.5 km²across a 27-km strike length, are situated in a district-scale, high grade gold mineralized trend within the southern portion of the Tombstone Gold Belt. A total of four RIRGS targets have been confirmed on the property. A NI 43-101 technical report has been completed in May 2024.

In New Brunswick, Lode Gold has created one of the largest land packages with its Acadian Gold JV Co; consisting of an area that spans 420 km² and a 42 km strike. McIntyre Brook covers 111 km²and a 17-km strike in the emerging Appalachian/Iapetus Gold Belt; it is hosted by orogenic rocks of similar age and structure as New Found Gold's Queensway Project. Riley Brook is a 309 km²package covering a 25 km strike of Wapske formation with its numerous felsic units. A NI 43-101 technical report has been completed in August 2024.

In the United States, the Company is advancing its Fremont Gold project. This is a brownfield project with over 43,000 m drilled and 23 km of underground workings. It was previously mined at 8 g/t Au in the 1940's.

Mining was halted in 1942 due the gold prohibition in WWII just as it was ramping up production. Unlike typical brownfield projects that are mined out; only 11% of the veins - in 2 out of 7 deposits have been exploited. The Company is the first owner to investigate an underground high grade mine potential at Fremont.

The project is located on 3,351 acres of private and patented land in Mariposa County. The asset is a 4 km strike on the prolific 190 km Mother Lode Gold Belt, California that produced over 50,000,000 oz of gold and is instrumental in the creation of the towns, the businesses and infrastructure in the 1800s gold rush. It is 1.5 hours from Fresno, California. The property has year-round road access and is close to airports and rail.

Previously, in March 2023 the company completed an NI 43 101 Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"). Project Valuation has an after-tax NPV (5%) of USD $370M at $2000 2 /oz gold, IRR 31% and an 11-year LOM, averaging 118,000 oz per year. At $1,750 /oz gold, NPV (5%) is $217M. The project hosts an NI 43-101 resource of 1.16 Moz at 1.90 g/t Au within 19.0 MT Indicated and 2.02 Moz at 2.22 g/t Au within 28.3 MT Inferred. The MRE evaluates only 1.4 km of the 4 km strike of Fremont property. Three step-out holes at depth (up to 1200 m) hit structure and were mineralized.

All NI 43-101 technical reports are available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and the Company's website (www.lode-gold.com).
