White Gold Corp. (TSX.V: WGO, OTC – Nasdaq Intl: WHGOF,
FRA: 29W) (the "Company") is pleased to announce it has
staked three strategic claim blocks (Kodiak, Kirkman & Tea)
totaling 689 mining claims (the “Claims”) contiguous to the
Company’s White Gold property, Newmont Goldcorp Inc.’s (TSX: NGT,
NYSE: NEM, “Newmont”) Coffee project and Western Copper &
Gold’s (TSXV: WRN, NYSE: WRN) Casino project, all located in the
prolific White Gold District, Yukon, Canada. The claims further
extend the Company’s land package to the south, with Kodiak &
Kirkman claim blocks located approximately 10km south of the
Company’s White Gold deposit and 10km to the north of Newmont’s
Coffee deposit, and the Tea claim block located contiguous to the
Coffee project to the south. These properties each display similar
geological characteristics to the nearby properties which host
significant gold deposits. The Claims bring the Company’s expansive
land package to 21,207 quartz claims across 33 properties,
totalling over 422,730 hectares, representing over 40% of the White
Gold District. White Gold Corp’s fully-funded $13 million 2019
exploration program backed by partners Agnico Eagle Mines Limited
(TSX: AEM, NYSE: AEM) and Kinross Gold Corp (TSX: K, NYSE: KGC)
includes diamond drilling on the Vertigo target (JP Ross property),
Golden Saddle & Arc deposits (White Gold property) as well as
soil sampling, prospecting, GT Probe, trenching and RAB/RC drilling
on various other properties across the Company’s expansive land
package located in the prolific White Gold District, Yukon, Canada.
Highlights Include:
- New claims staked:° KODIAK: 111
claims contiguous to the White Gold property and 10km north of
Newmont’s Coffee deposit° KIRKMAN: 272 claims
extending south of Kodiak, also north of Newmont’s Coffee and south
of the White Gold property.° TEA: 306 claims
contiguous to Newmont’s Coffee project on the south.
- These properties are
historically underexplored and display similar geological
characteristics to the Coffee project and White Gold
properties.
- Shawn Ryan, Chief Technical
Advisor will be presenting today Thursday December 5, 2019 at 4PM
EST, a live webinar corporate update focusing on the Company’s
recent high-grade gold discovery the Titan; Registration details
are provided below, and a recording will also be available
subsequent to the webinar.
- Additional regional
exploration activity & drill results from the White Gold and JP
Ross properties to be released in due course.

“Our recent high-grade, near surface Titan
discovery and last year’s Vertigo, Ryan’s Surprise and other
discoveries continue to demonstrate the success of our proprietary,
methodical data-based exploration strategy and the prospectively of
our extensive land package in the prolific White Gold District. The
Kodiak, Kirkman and Tea properties have similar geological
characteristics to our White Gold property and/or the Coffee
project and are strategic additions to our land package,” stated
David D’Onofrio, Chief Executive Officer.
Kodiak & Kirkman
Properties:Kodiak is comprised of 111 claims located south
and adjacent to the Company’s White Gold property and approximately
15km north Newmont’s Coffee deposit. Kirkman is comprised of 272
claims extending south of the Kodiak Property, in close vicinity to
the Company’s White Gold property and approximately 10km north of
Newmont’s Coffee project and 2 km north of Arcus Development Group
Inc.’s Dan Man property.
The Kirkman claims were previously held by
Kaminak Gold, who originally discovered the Coffee deposit and was
subsequently acquired by Goldcorp for $530M. Historically the
properties have only had limited exploration work completed,
comprised primarily of soil sampling, geophysical surveys, and
minor trenching activity.
The strong soil anomalies and favourable
geology, combined with the proximity to the neighboring gold
deposits warrant follow up exploration. The anomalies are also
alongside the Kirkman Creek which is currently actively mined for
placer gold.
Tea Property: The Tea is
comprised of 306 claims on a new target area and is located
immediately south of Newmont’s Coffee project, and adjacent to
Western Copper & Gold’s Casino project to the east. The Tea
property claims were staked based on geologic and geophysical
interpretation of the area with the claims covering a previously
unexplored regional scale, E-W oriented, structural corridor and
receptive host rocks. Placer gold is known to occur within streams
draining the area and the geologic and structural framework is
similar to that which hosts mineralization on the adjacent Coffee
property, and the Company’s Betty property approximately 25km to
the east.
Live Corporate Update Webinar: Titan
Discovery – Thurs Dec 5, 2019 4PM ESTShawn Ryan, Chief
Technical Advisor, will present a live webcast corporate update
with a focus on the Company’s Titan discovery.
The recent and first ever drilling on the Titan
intercepted 72.81 g/t Au over 6.09m from 10.67m depth, including
136.36 g/t Au over 3.05m, within a 32m zone of mineralization and
remains open in all directions(1). The Titan is located on the
road-accessible Hen property and consists of a 650m x 650m gold in
soil anomaly with multiple other prospective targets that show
similar geophysical characteristics to the mineralization
encountered in these drill holes. Titan surface exploration
results include grab samples of 605 g/t Au, 497 g/t Au, and 113 g/t
Au with fine grained visible gold observed, and soil samples of up
to 113 g/t Au, the highest ever in the Company’s 400,000+ soil
sample database(2).

The Company also announces that Robert Carpenter
has stepped down from the Board of Directors to pursue other
interests. The Company would like to thank Rob for his valuable
contributions to the Company and wish him the best of luck in his
future endeavours.
QA/QCThe analytical work for
the 2019 drilling program will be performed by ALS Canada Ltd. an
internationally recognized analytical services provider, at its
Vancouver, British Columbia laboratory. Sample preparation
was carried out at its Whitehorse, Yukon facility. All RC chip and
diamond core samples will be prepared using procedure PREP-31H
(crush 90% less than 2mm, riffle split off 500g, pulverize split to
better than 85% passing 75 microns) and analyzed by method Au-AA23
(30g fire assay with AAS finish) and ME-ICP41 (0.5g, aqua regia
digestion and ICP-AES analysis). Samples containing >10 g/t Au
will be reanalyzed using method Au-GRAV21 (30g Fire Assay with
gravimetric finish).
The reported work will be completed using
industry standard procedures, including a quality assurance/quality
control (“QA/QC”) program consisting of the insertion of certified
standard, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream.
About White Gold Corp. The
Company owns a portfolio of 21,207 quartz claims across 33
properties covering over 422,730 hectares representing over 40% of
the Yukon’s White Gold District. The Company’s flagship White Gold
property has a mineral resource of 1,039,600 ounces Indicated at
2.26 g/t Au and 508,700 ounces Inferred at 1.48 g/t Au.
Mineralization on the Golden Saddle and Arc is also known to extend
beyond the limits of the current resource estimate. Regional
exploration work has also produced several other prospective
targets on the Company’s claim packages which border sizable gold
discoveries including the Coffee project owned by Newmont Goldcorp
Corporation with a M&I gold resource(3) of 3.4M oz and
Western Copper and Gold Corporation’s Casino project which has
P&P gold reserves(3) of 8.9M oz Au and 4.5B lb Cu. For
