White Gold Corp. Announces Fully Subscribed $4.4 Million Private Placement
TORONTO, Dec. 08, 2022 -- White Gold Corp. (TSX.V: WGO, OTCQX: WHGOF, FRA: 29W) (the "Company") is pleased
to announce a non-brokered private placement of: (i) flow-through common shares at a price of $0.41 per share (each a “FT
Share ”); and (ii) common shares in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.38 per common share (each a
“Common Share ”), for total gross proceeds of approximately $4,416,000 (the "Offering").
“We are very grateful for the continued support of our exciting and impactful exploration activities in the prolific and under
explored White Gold District,” stated David D’Onofrio, Chief Executive Officer.
Pursuant to an investor rights agreement between the Company and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (TSX: AEM, NYSE: AEM)
(“Agnico”) dated December 13, 2016, Agnico has indicated that it intends to maintain its pro rata interest in the Company at
19.8% on a post-offering basis.
The gross proceeds received from the sale of the FT Shares will be used to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" as defined
in subsection 66.1(6) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act") on the Company’s properties in the White Gold District
of the Yukon Territory, and renounced to subscribers in the Offering with an effective date no later than December 31, 2022.
Such Canadian exploration expenses will also qualify as “flow-through mining expenditures” as defined in subsection 127(9) of
the Tax Act. The net proceeds from the sale of the Common Shares will be used for working capital and other general
corporate purposes.
Participation by Agnico in the Offering will be considered a “related party transaction” pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-
101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company will be exempt from the
requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with Agnico’s participation in the
Offering in reliance of sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101. A material change report will be filed in connection with the
participation of Agnico in the Offering less than 21 days in advance of the closing of the Offering, which the Company deemed
reasonable in the circumstances so as to be able to avail itself of potential financing opportunities and complete the Offering in
an expeditious manner.
Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about December 23, 2022, and is subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions, including receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the
"TSXV"). The securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day
from the closing date of the Offering in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Information
This news release contains "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" (collectively, "forward-looking
statements") within the meaning of the applicable Canadian securities legislation. All statements, other than statements of
historical fact, are forward-looking statements and are based on expectations, estimates and projections as at the date of this
news release. Any statement that involves discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections,
objectives, assumptions, future events or performance (often but not always using phrases such as "expects", or "does not
expect", "is expected", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", "plans", “proposed”, "budget", "scheduled", "forecasts",
"estimates", "believes" or "intends" or variations of such words and phrases or stating that certain actions, events or results
"may" or "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken to occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be
forward-looking statements. In this news release, forward-looking statements relate, among other things, the Offering,
including all regulatory approvals; the use of proceeds from the Offering; the Company’s objectives, goals and exploration
activities conducted and proposed to be conducted at the Company’s properties; future growth potential of the Company,
including whether any proposed exploration programs at any of the Company’s properties will be successful; exploration
results; and future exploration plans and costs and financing availability.
These forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates of management of the Company at
the time such statements were made. Actual future results may differ materially as forward-looking statements involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the
Company to materially differ from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-
looking statements. Such factors, among other things, include: the expected benefits to the Company relating to the
exploration conducted and proposed to be conducted at the White Gold properties; the receipt of all applicable regulatory
approvals for the Offering; the completion of the Offering on the terms described herein, or at all; failure to identify any
additional mineral resources or significant mineralization; the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results; uncertainties
relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, including to fund any exploration programs on the
Company’s properties; business integration risks; fluctuations in general macroeconomic conditions; fluctuations in securities
markets; fluctuations in spot and forward prices of gold, silver, base metals or certain other commodities; fluctuations in
currency markets (such as the Canadian dollar to United States dollar exchange rate); change in national and local
government, legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic developments; risks and hazards associated
with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents,
unusual or unexpected formations pressures, cave-ins and flooding); inability to obtain adequate insurance to cover risks and
hazards; the presence of laws and regulations that may impose restrictions on mining and mineral exploration; employee
relations; relationships with and claims by local communities and indigenous populations; availability of increasing costs
associated with mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development (including the risks of
obtaining necessary licenses, permits and approvals from government authorities); the unlikelihood that properties that are
explored are ultimately developed into producing mines; geological factors; actual results of current and future exploration;
changes in project parameters as plans continue to be evaluated; soil sampling results being preliminary in nature and are not
conclusive evidence of the likelihood of a mineral deposit; title to properties; and those factors described in the most recently
filed management’s discussion and analysis of the Company. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this news
release are based upon what management of the Company believes, or believed at the time, to be reasonable assumptions,
the Company cannot assure shareholders that actual results will be consistent with such forward-looking statements, as there
may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Accordingly, readers should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information, or
the material factors or assumptions used to develop such forward-looking information, will prove to be accurate. The Company
does not undertake to release publicly any revisions for updating any voluntary forward-looking statements, except as required
by applicable securities law.
Neither the TSXV nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSXV) accepts
responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.
