TORONTO, October 27, 2026 – White Gold Corp. (TSX.V: WGO, OTCQX: WHGOF, FRA: 29W) (“White Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce additional results from the fully funded 2026 diamond drill program at its flagship White Gold Project, located in the White Gold District of Yukon, Canada (Figure 1). Hole QV26-025 at the VG Deposit returned 2.73 g/t Au over 21.75m, the strongest intercept ever drilled at VG below 125m vertical depth, extending mineralization to approximately 350m down-plunge and approximately 40m further west of the recently announced QV26-024 step-out drill hole, further expanding mineralization beyond the current mineral resource estimate(1). At the Ryan’s Surprise Deposit, the first five holes of the 2026 program intersected multiple stacked lenses of gold mineralization, extending the system approximately 50m to both the west and to the east. These results have expanded and continue to demonstrate the significant growth potential of the White Gold Project and will further enhance the 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 at a base-case gold price of US$3,600/oz (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 92,500 metres drilled across Golden Saddle, Arc, VG, and Ryan’s Surprise deposits prior to 2026. This news release reports results from one hole at VG (QV26-025) and five holes at Ryan’s Surprise (WHTRS26D033 to WHTRS26D037A). The 2026 program comprised 53 holes totalling approximately 18,810 metres. With this release, results have been reported for nine holes with assays pending for 44 holes which were designed to increase known resources and make new discoveries on the White Gold Project, and will be released in due course.
