White Gold Corp. Intersects Gold Mineralization in Widely Spaced Step Out
Holes at Ryan’s Surprise and Discovers Additional Gold Mineralization in
Maiden RAB Drill Program at Several Other Targets along the 6.5km
Mineralized Ryan's Trend, Yukon, Canada
TORONTO, Feb. 23, 2023 – White Gold Corp. (TSX.V: WGO, OTCQX: WHGOF, FRA: 29W) (the “Company”) is pleased
to report additional assay results from its 2022 diamond drilling program on the Ryan’s Surprise and Ulli’s Ridge
targets, as well as rotary air blast (RAB) drilling results from previously undrilled targets along the Ryan’s Trend, a
6.5km long north-northwest striking zone of anomalous gold and arsenic in soils (Figure 1). The Ryan’s Surprise and
Ulli’s Ridge targets are located approximately 2km west of the Company’s flagship Golden Saddle and Arc deposits
and 11km south of the Company’s VG deposit. The Golden Saddle and Arc deposits have a combined mineral
resource of 1,139,900 ounces Indicated at 2.28 g/t Au and 402,100 ounces Inferred at 1.39 g/t Au (1) and the VG
deposit hosts an Inferred gold resource of 267,600 ounces at 1.62 g/t Au(2). These assays represent additional positive
results from the Company’s $6 million 2022 exploration program on its extensive and underexplored 350,000 hectare
land package in the emerging White Gold District, Yukon, supported by strategic partners including Agnico Eagle
Mines Limited and Kinross Gold Corporation.
“We are very pleased to see the significant extension of mineralization at the Ryan’s Surprise almost doubling its
strike length as well as the discovery of gold mineralization at multiple other targets in first ever drilling along this
underexplored trend which has now encountered gold mineralization over a length of 5.5km. The abundance of gold
mineralization and its vicinity to our flagship gold deposits is very encouraging for the continued expansion of our
significant gold resources in this area. Overall 2022 was an was a very successful year in which we continued to
demonstrate the growth potential of our flagship project, which ranks amongst the largest high grade gold deposits
in the Yukon, and also expand our exciting new high grade Betty discovery, contiguous to Newmont’s Coffee Project
and Western Copper and Gold’s Casino project,“ stated David D’Onofrio, CEO.

2022 Ryan’s Surprize & Ulli’s Ridge Exploration Program
Diamond Drilling
The 2022 diamond drilling program at Ryan’s Surprise and Ulli’s Ridge comprised 9 holes totalling 2,685m which
further tested 3 separate target areas with the following objectives (Figure 2):
1) Drilling at Ryan’s Surprise to provide sufficient drill spacing to conduct an initial mineral resource estimate;
2) Drilling t he Gap area between the Ryan’s Surprise and Ulli’s Ridge targets to identify the possible
continuation of mi neralization at the Ryan’s Surprise to the south and if Ryan’s Surprise and Ulli’s Ridge
may form part of the same mineralized zone; and
3) Drilling around the newly discovered high -grade gold zone at Ulli’s Ridge, where hole WHTULR21D004
intersected 6.94 g/t Au over 19.5m as well as an untested area of the soil anomaly 300m northwest of the
high-grade discovery.
Results for the Ryan’s Surprise drill holes (target area 1 above) were reported in a Company news release dated
January 5th, 2023. The current news release presents results for the gap area (area 2) and Ulli’s Ridge (area 3)
target.
A summary of significant gold assay results is provided in Tables 1 & 2 and drill collar details are shown in Table 3.
Results are discussed separately below for each target area.
Gap Area between Ryan’s Surprise & Ulli’s Ridge Targets
LEGAL*47516586.2
Two widely spaced holes were drilled to test the gap area between the Ryan’s Surprise and Ulli’s Ridge targets
(Figure 3). Both Gap area holes are located approximately 200m southeast and 250m northwest of the limits of
previous significant drilling gold a ssay results at Ryan’s Surprise and Ulli’s Ridge respectively and approximately
150m apart form each other . Structural features which control mineralization at both targets appear very similar,
and the goal of the drilling was to test the presence of gold mineralization in this undrilled area and between the
targets. The southernmost hole, WHTRS22D027 intersected 1.43 g/t Au over 11.45m from 145.50m downhole, and
hole WHTRS22D028 drilled approximately 150m to the north -northeast of WHTRS22D027 intersected 6.01 g/t Au
over 2.35m from 296.50m downhole as well as multiple other zones grading from 1.2 to 3.5 g/t Au over widths of
1.5m to 4.5m. The mineralization in hole WHTRS22D027 and the upper part of hole WHTRS22D028 is generally
similar to hanging wall zones seen at Ryan’s Surprise, whereas the zone from 296.50 -298.85m which graded 6.01
g/t Au over 2.35m is tentatively correlated with the main Ryan’s Surprise mineralized structure. More closely spaced
drilling is required to properly correlate the intercepts from hole to hole.
The Company considers these results as very encouraging, and additional drilling in this area is warranted to further
test the continuity, grade and further extension of gold mineralization in this area.

Ulli’s Ridge Target
Three holes were drilled at the Ulli’s Ridge target. Hole WHTULR22D010, drilled approximately 300m to the
northwest, collared in mineralization and intersected a broad zone of gold mineralization grading 1.49 g/t Au over
16.00m from 6.00m downhole. This mineralization is open along strike and down-dip. WHTULR22D010 was drilled
to test a gold -in-soil anomaly that had previously been tested by a single RAB hole which, based on the current
understanding of the target, was drilled at the wrong orientation and c onsequently did not return any significant
gold values. This style of gold mineralization in terms of grade and thickness is quite common at Ryan’s Surprise
and its encouraging to be encountering additional mineralization in this area. Holes WHTULR22D008 a nd
LEGAL*47516586.2
WHTULR22D009 tested for extensions of the high-grade mineralization encountered in hole WHTULR21D004 which
graded 6.94 g/t Au over 19.5 m. Hole WHTULR22D008 was collared approximately 25m south of hole
WHTULR21D004 and was designed to test the high-grade mineralization down-dip, while hole WHTULR22D009 was
drilled to test along strike approximately 35m to the east. Both holes intersected gold mineralization including 0.92
g/t Au over 3.10m from 136.45m downhole in WHTULR22D008, and 1.77 g/t Au over 1.87m from 106.88m in
WHTULR22D009. The high-grade mineralization encountered in WHTULR21D004 was not encountered.

Rotary Air Blast (RAB) Drilling along Ryan’s Trend
The 2022 RAB drilling program along the Ryan’s Trend comprised 12 holes totalling 919m which tested four
separate targets: 1) Teacher (4 holes, 361.2m); 2) Principal Ridge (4 holes, 175.3m); 3) Ryan’s Surprise North (2
holes, 201.2m,); and 4) Tween (2 hole s, 181.4m). Gold mineralization hosted in metasedimentary units along the
Ryan’s Trend shows a close association with anomalous arsenic, hence the RAB drilling focused on high arsenic
targets identified through previous soil sampling and 2022 detailed pros pecting. The 2022 RAB drilling program at
Ryan’s Trend represent maiden drilling at each of the four targets tested.
All 2022 RAB holes were surveyed with a borehole optical televiewer, which provided continuous high resolution
digital imagery of walls of the holes, allowing for the detailed structural interpretation of the zones. Interpretation
of the zones intersected in the 2022 RAB drilling program is currently underway and will be used to guide any future
proposed drilling campaigns.
Significant results and interpretations are discussed below and a summary of significant RAB gold assay results is
provided in Table 4 and drill collar details are shown in Table 5.
Teacher Target
The Teacher target is located at the northernmost limit of the Ryan’s Trend on the eastern ridge of the Yukon River.
In the late 1990’s, Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”) conducted a reconnaissance program of prospecting, sampling
and trenching in the Teacher area as they explored for Pogo -style gold mineralization. The trenching returned
significant values up to 12.15 g/t Au, 13.0 g/t Ag, 275 ppm Sb and > 10,000 ppm (1%) As. Teck described the
mineralization as being associated with silicified and brecciated metasedimentary rocks adjacent to the contact
zones with granitic porphyry dykes. Subsequent sampling by the Company in 2017 also returned high -grade gold
and silver values (up to 7.08 g/t Au and 137 g/t Ag) in grab samples.
In 2022 four RAB holes were drilled at the Teacher target all intersected gold mineralization. The best results were
obtained from holes WHTTCS22RAB003 and WHTTCS22RAB004. Hole WHTTCS22RAB003 intersected 3.40 g/t Au
over 6.10m from 1.52m depth and WHTTCS22RAB004 intersected 3.30 g/t Au over 4.57m from 24.38m depth.
Holes WHTTCS22RAB001 and WHTTCS 22RAB002 intersected additional gold mineralization, including 0.20 g/t Au
over 4.57m from 1.52m depth in WHTTCS22RAB001 and 0.31 g/t Au over 16.76m from 3.05m depth in
WHTTCS22RAB002.
Principal Ridge Target
The Principal Ridge target is located approxim ately 1.5km south of the Teacher target and forms a southern
extension of the same gold in soil anomaly. Follow up historical exploration work has also returned significant gold
values in trench samples up to 6.61 g/t Au and GT Probe samples up to 1.83 g/t Au.
In 2022 four RAB holes were drilled at the Principal Ridge target , with 3 of 4 holes (WHTPRR22RAB002 to 004)
LEGAL*47516586.2
terminated early (18 -37m depth) due to bad ground conditions and were unable to reach their targets.
Nevertheless, hole WHTPRR22RAB003 encountered surface gold mineralization grading 1.20 g/t Au over 4.57m
from 1.52m depth. Hole WHTPRR22RAB001 was drilled approximately 600m northwest of the other three holes
and was successfully completed to 100m. The hole encountered several gold mineralized zones including 1.50 g/t
Au over 4.57m from 25.91m depth and 0.65 g/t Au over 3.05m from 74.68m depth.

QA/QC
Analytical work for the 2022 diamond drilling and RAB program was performed by Bureau Veritas, an internationally
recognized analytical services provider, at its North Vancouver, British Columbia laboratory. Sample preparation
was carried out at its Whitehorse, Yukon facility. Samples were prepared using the PRP70-250 package, where
samples were weighed, dried, and crushed to greater than 70% passing a 2mm sieve, then pulverized to greater
than 85% passing 75 microns). Samples were then analyzed in accordance with BV’s FA430 and MA250 packages,
for both gold analysis by fire assay (30g fire assay with AAS finish) and ultra -trace multi-element ICP analysis (0.25
g, 4 acid digestion and ICP-MS analysis).
The reported diamond drilling and RAB sampling program work was completed using industry standard procedures,
including a quality assurance/quality control (“QA/QC”) program consisting of the insertion of standards and blank
samples into the sample stream. BV also runs a comprehensive QA/QC program of standards, duplicates, and blanks
within each sample stream.
