White Gold (TSX-V:WGO) has received assays from a 2025 diamond drilling program, which CEO David D’Onofrio says shows the Golden Saddle and Arc deposits located in Yukon, Canada, remain “highly expandable”.
“Expanding the Golden Saddle high-grade core and significantly extending the plunge direction at Arc further confirms the geological modelling and validates our strategy of systematically demonstrating resource growth potential,” D’Onofrio says.
Hole WHTGS25D0216 intersected 56.10m @ 3.32 grams per tonne gold, expanding the width of the core by more than 50m to the west at a vertical depth of 350m, and further demonstrating the potential for additional growth of the core in multiple directions.
The same hole also intersected the Footwall breccia zone beneath the current pit shell, confirming continuity of key mineralisation, lithology and structural features down plunge and along strike.
Multiple lenses of gold mineralisation were also intersected in the shallow hanging wall zone, further supporting recent 3D modelling refinements that capture this mineralisation in the hanging wall more consistently and confirming prospectivity of assaying unsampled historical drill intervals throughout this zone.
Meanwhile at the Arc deposit, drilling returned 4.35m @ 2.73g/t gold, as well as multiple other gold intercepts in parallel mineralised panels.
White Gold says these drill results represent the first step in extending Arc’s mineralisation down plunge, which has now been extended by at least 100m. Zones remain open for further expansion.
Additional exploration results from the company’s exploration program on its district-scale portfolio will be released in due course.
D’Onofrio adds that with a fully funded 2026 exploration program being designed to increase resources and make new discoveries, a maiden preliminary economic assessment is on track for release in Q2 2026.
White Gold’s primary objective remains resource growth and expansion within, adjacent and in close proximity to the Golden Saddle, Arc, Ryan’s Surprise, and VG deposits.
All four deposits remain open for expansion along strike and down-dip. In parallel, White Gold will look to advance discovery-stage targets such as Betty Ford, Vertigo, and Chris Creek as well as assess high priority early-stage prospects for discovery potential.
White Gold Corp will be attending this year’s Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) held from 1-4 March 2026 in Toronto, Canada. Mining.com.au is a media partner for the convention and will be on the floor.
