TORONTO, Oct 20, 2026 – White Gold Corp. (TSX.V: WGO, OTCQX: WHGOF, FRA: 29W) (“White Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from the first diamond drill holes completed as part of the Company’s fully funded 2026 exploration program at its flagship White Gold Project, located in the White Gold District of the Yukon, Canada (Figure 1). The initial assays from the 2026 drill program have intersected significant high grade gold mineralization in multiple lenses on both the Golden Saddle and VG deposits and successfully validate the Company’s belief that these deposits remain open for continued growth that will further enhance its recently published robust Preliminary Economic Assessment (the “PEA”) which delivered a C$1.86 Billion After-Tax NPV, 41% IRR and 1.5 Year Payback (see the Company’s news release dated September 25, 2026)(5). The 2026 diamond drill program supported by strategic partners including Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (TSX: AEM, NYSE: AEM) is the Company’s largest ever on its flagship deposits, and equivalent to approximately 20% of the roughly 92,000 metres drilled across Golden Saddle, Arc, VG, and Ryan’s Surprise deposits prior to 2026. This news release reports the first set of diamond drillhole results from the Golden Saddle and VG deposits. Assays are pending from an additional 49 holes which were designed to increase known resources and make new discoveries on the White Gold Project and will be released in due course.
