White Gold Corp. Expands High-Grade Gold Core at Golden Saddle and Extends Arc Mineralization 100m Down Plunge
TSXV: WGO | OTCQX: WHGOF | FRA: 29W
Overview
White Gold Corp. reported additional assay results from its 2025 diamond drilling program at its flagship Golden Saddle and Arc deposits on the White Gold Property in west-central Yukon. The company announced that hole WHTGS25D0216 intersected high-grade gold mineralization, returning 3.23 g/t Au over 56.10m, expanding the width of the high-grade core by more than 50m to the west at a vertical depth of 350m.
At the Arc deposit, located approximately 400m south of the Golden Saddle, drilling intersected 2.73 g/t Au over 4.35m in hole WHTAR25D038, representing the first meaningful down-plunge test of the system and extending gold mineralization by at least 100m down plunge. According to the company, the Arc system remains open below 120m vertical depth across its entire 1.5 km strike length. These results form part of the company's fully funded work program supported by strategic partners including Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (TSX: AEM, NYSE: AEM).
Key Highlights
- Hole WHTGS25D0216 returned 3.23 g/t Au over 56.10m at a vertical depth of 350m, broadening the high-grade core by 50m to the west at the Golden Saddle Main Zone.
- The footwall breccia zone was intersected beneath the current pit shell, confirming continuity of key mineralization, lithology, and structural features, including the presence of visible gold.
- Multiple lenses of gold mineralization were intersected in the shallow hanging wall zone, further supporting recent 3D modeling refinements.
- At Arc, drilling returned 2.73 g/t Au over 4.35m, extending mineralization at least 100m down plunge along the deposit's 1.5 km strike length.
- Previously released 2025 results included 6.89 g/t Au over 50.2m in hole WHTGS25D0218A, representing some of the highest grades to date on the project.
- All four deposits on the White Gold Project remain open for expansion in multiple directions.
Strategic Context
CEO David D'Onofrio stated that the results demonstrate the Golden Saddle and Arc deposits remain highly expandable with strong, high-grade gold continuity. According to the company, expanding the Golden Saddle high-grade core and significantly extending the plunge direction at Arc validates the company's strategy of systematically demonstrating resource growth potential.
VP of Exploration Dylan Langille noted that the 2025 drilling results achieved the company's stated goals of proving structural targets and validating recent model refinements. According to Langille, at Arc, this was the first meaningful down-plunge test beneath the current resource envelope, successfully intersecting strong mineralization as well as several other parallel panels of mineralization.
The company indicated that its upcoming 2026 exploration program is anticipated to be the largest drill program in its history, funded by a $23 million private placement completed in October 2025. The program is being designed to significantly increase the size of the company's gold resources and to make new gold and critical mineral discoveries across its district-scale land package.
Resources and Financials
- District Resource Base: 1,732,300 oz gold Indicated (35.2 Mt @ 1.53 g/t Au) and 1,265,900 oz gold Inferred (32.2 Mt @ 1.22 g/t Au) across four near-surface deposits

- White Gold Corp. will be exhibiting at PDAC 2026 (Booth 2312, March 1 to 4).
About White Gold Corp.
The Company owns a portfolio of 15,364 quartz claims across 21 properties covering 305,102 hectares (3,051 km²) representing approximately 40% of the Yukon's emerging White Gold District. The Company's flagship White Gold project hosts four near-surface gold deposits which collectively contain a resource estimate of 1,732,300 ounces of gold in indicated resources (35.2 million tonnes grading 1.53 grams per tonne gold) and 1,265,900 ounces of gold in inferred resources (32.2 million tonnes grading 1.22 g/t Au). Regional exploration work has also produced several other new discoveries and prospective targets on the Company's claim packages which border sizable gold discoveries including the Coffee project owned by Fuerte Metals Corporation (TSXV: FMT) and Western Copper and Gold Corporation's (TSX: WRN, NYSE: WRN) Casino project.
