White Gold (TSX-V:WGO) has extended gold mineralisation at the Golden Saddle and VG deposits within its flagship White Gold Project in Yukon, Canada.
At Golden Saddle, hole WHTGS26D0219 returned 38.08m @ 1.47 grams per tonne gold (Au) from 397.12m, including 7.88m @ 5.13g/t Au and 2.88m @ 10.48g/t Au.
The intersection extends the ‘high-grade’ core of the Main zone approximately 50m west at a vertical depth of 300m, within the existing resource pit shell.
At VG, hole QV26-026 intersected 18.90m @ 2.53g/t Au from 172.10m, while QV26-024 returned 38.45m @ 0.71g/t Au.
Together, the holes extend drilled mineralisation from 230–320m down-plunge across approximately 150m of strike and beyond the current mineral resource estimate.
They also bridge a roughly 120m gap to historical hole QV13-011, which returned 21.36m @ 2.43g/t Au. White Gold says the drilling establishes continuity to approximately 350m down-plunge, with VG remaining open.
Reported intervals are core lengths. Estimated true widths range from 80–95% at Golden Saddle and 90–95% at VG.
President and Director Donovan Politt says VG could contribute additional ounces to a future resource update.
“VG is growing, and we see it as a significant source of potential new high-grade ounces for our next resource update,” Politt says.
Results remain pending from 49 holes designed to expand known deposits and test nearby discovery targets. The program is supported by major shareholder Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX:AEM).
The assays follow White Gold’s preliminary economic assessment, which outlines average annual production of 188,000 ounces over a potential 9.4-year operation.
White Gold is a Canadian explorer advancing four gold deposits and regional targets across its landholding in Yukon’s White Gold District.
