White Gold Corp. Makes New High-Grade Discovery Intersecting 6.94 g/t
Gold over 19.50m and 1.36 g/t Gold over 18.50m at the Ulli’s Ridge Target in
Maiden Diamond Drill Program
White Gold Corp. (TSX.V: WGO, OTCQX: WHGOF, FRA: 29W) (the "Company") is pleased to report assay results for
the maiden diamond drilling program on its Ulli’s Ridge target located approximately 3 km southwest of the
Company’s flagship Golden Saddle and Arc deposits and 11 km 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 2 67,600 ounces at 1.62 g/t
Au(2). This maiden diamond drilling was part of the Company’s fully funded 2021 exploration program backed by
partners Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (TSX: AEM, NYSE: AEM) and Kinross Gold Corporation (TSX: K, NYSE: KGC) on its
extensive 420,000 hectare land package in the emerging White Gold District, Yukon.
The Ulli’s Ridge target is located immediately south of the Ryan’s Surprise target, with both targets situated on a 6.5
km long x 1.0 km wide northwest-southeast trend of anomalous gold and arsenic in soils, which extends from the
Ulli’s Ridge target in the south to the Teacher showing in the north (Figure 1). The Ryan’s Surprise target has been a
focus of diamond drilling over the past two field seasons, and in 2021 drilling was expanded southwards to the Ulli’s
Ridge target. The goal of these drill programs was to identify new zones of gold mineralization with the potential to
increase the Company’s significant gold resources.
Highlights Include:
• 2021 diamond d rilling at the Ulli’s Ridge target comprised 7 holes totalling 1,408.7m which tested an
approximately 550m strike length where early season 2021 rotary air blast ( RAB) drilling encountered
encouraging gold mineralization including 4.67 g/t Au over 6.10m and 1.35 g/t Au over 21.33m.
• All holes intersected gold mineralization with significant results including:
o WHTULR21D004: 6.94 g/t Au over 19.50m, including 39.10 g/t Au over 1.50m and 45.40 g/t Au over
0.83m
o WHTULR11D005: 1.36 g/t Au over 18.50m including 5.19 g/t Au over 3.50m
o WHTULR21D001: 2.04 g/t Au over 5.13m
o WHTULR21D002: 1.03 g/t Au over 8.00m and 2.44 g/t Au over 4.10m
o WHTULR21D003: 1.91 g/t Au over 4.49m
o WHTULR21D006: 4.26 g/t Au over 1.70m
o WHTULR21D007: 1.81 g/t Au over 3.87m and 2.50 g/t Au over 4.65m
• Drilling at Ulli’s Ridge has now identified gold mineralization along an approximately 650m strike length with
mineralization remaining open along strike and at depth.
• All intercepts are at relatively shallow depths and w hen compared to the Ryan’s Surprise target which
continues to intersect high -grade mineralization at greater depths, the Ulli’s Ridge target has significant
expansion potential.
• A video overview from management discussing these results in more detail can be found at:

• The Company is currently planning its fully funded 2022 exploration program, with details to be released in
due course.

Shawn Ryan, Chief Technical Advisor stated, “The significance of the high-grade gold found in Hole 4, which is also
associated with high arsenic values , and very similar to rocks found around the Teacher showing to the north, is
that it introduces a new style of high -grade gold target to follow up on. Historically, gold-arsenic anomalies were
classified as Arc Style, which generally represented lower gold grade (< 2 g/t Au) potential, and therefore have seen
limited exploration. When we look at the 99 percentile arsenic soil anomalies (> 200 ppm) we can clearly see a 6.5
km trend running in a NNW direction from Ulli’s Ridge to the Teacher Showing. Most of these gold -arsenic
anomalies have never been prospected or looked at to date. This upcoming summer’s prospecting work will directly
target this arsenic trend which hopefully leads to more new high grade gold discoveries.”
“We are very pleased with the results from our maiden drill diamond drill program at Ulli’s Ridge as they continue
to demonstrate the extensiveness of gold mineralization in this area . Ulli’s is situated on a multi-kilometre gold in
soil anomaly which hosts several other prospective targets in close proximity to our flagship deposits” stated David
D’Onofrio, CEO. “ Our 2021 program was very successful in identifying and expanding new areas of gold
mineralization with the potential to increase White Gold’s significant resource base. I congratulate our team on
making another new discovery in this prolific and underexplored district and look forward to following up on these
exciting results.”
2021 Diamond Drilling Program
The 2021 diamond drilling program at Ulli’s Ridge comprised 7 holes totalling 1,408.7m with hole lengths ranging
from 161.5m to 265.0m and was designed to test an approximately 550m strike length (Figure 2) where early season
2021 RAB dril ling returned encouraging results including 4.67 g/t Au over 6.10m from 6.10m downhole in hole
WHTULR21RAB006 and 1.35 g/t Au over 21.33m from 67.06m downhole in WHTULR21RAB005 (see Company news
release dated November 01, 2021). All 7 diamond drill holes were drilled to the north-northeast (025°) at a dip of -
50° (Table 2) to test multiple interpreted northwest-striking and shallowly to moderately southwest-dipping (025-
060°) mineralized structures.
Results
The 2021 Ulli’s Ridge diamond drilling program successfully encountered gold mineralization along a 550m strike
length at relatively shallow depths, to a maximum of 225m below surface. Mineralization remains open along strike
and at depth and recent drilling further demonstrates the exploration potential along the property-scale gold soil
geochemical trend located west of the Golden Saddle deposit and east of the Yukon River.
The strongest drilling results were returned from the southeasternmost hole, WHTU LR21D004, which was drilled
to test beneath RAB hole WHTULR21RAB006 (4.67 g/t Au over 6.10m). WHTULR21D004 intersected 6.94 g/t Au
over 19.50m from 64.50m downhole, including high -grade subintervals of 39.10 g/t Au over 1.50m and 45.40 g/t
Au over 0.83m (Figures 3 and 3A to 3C) . A narrow high -grade zone was also encountered higher in the hole,
returning 10.30 g/t Au over 0.70m from 35.20m.
Hole WHTULR21D007 was drilled approximately 225m northwest of WHTULR21D004 and intersected multiple
zones of mineralization grading from 1.5 -2.9 g/t Au over widths of 0.5 -4.65m. Narrow (0.5 -1.0m) higher -grade
subintervals within these zones grade from 5.7-9.0 g/t Au.
The remainder of the drilling included a cluster of five drill holes that tested an approximately 225m strike length,
including holes WHTULR21D001, 002, 003, 005 and 006. Of these holes, WHTULR21D005 delivered the strongest
results with a zone of 1.36 g/t Au over 18.50m from 139.50m, which included a higher-grade subinterval of 5.19 g/t
LEGAL*47516586.2
Au over 3.50m. Highlights from other holes included 2.04 g/t Au over 5.13m from 9.00m in WHTULR21D001, 2.44
g/t Au over 4.10m from 125.50m in WHTULR21D002, 1.91 g/t Au over 4.49m from 53.86m in WHTULR21D003, and
4.26 g/t Au over 1.70m from 219.60m in WHTULR21D006.
Interpretation
Each of the 2021 diamond drill holes was surveyed with a borehole optical televiewer (OTV) which provides high-
resolution digital imagery of the hole walls and provides key structural orientation data on lithological contacts,
foliations, fractures, shear zones, veins, etc. This structural data was then integrated with drill core logs, digital core
photos, and analytical results to produce a working model.
The OTV data show that structures strike consistently to the north -northwest, but two dominant dips and dip
directions are evident (Figure 4) : Set 1) foliations and certain parallel to subparallel veins , fractures, and
breccia/shear zones dip shallowly (10-30°) to the east-northeast; and Set 2) veins and fractures dip steeply (60-70°)
to the west -southwest. Although gold mineralization is associated with both set s of structures, gold grades may
differ between the two sets . For example, the very high -grade gold intercepts in hole W HTULR21D004, which
included 39.10 g/t Au over 1.50m and 45.40 g/t Au over 0.83m, are clearly associated with mineralized quartz veins
and breccia/shear zones that dip shallowly to the east-northeast (Set 1). Consequently, the significantly higher-
grade gold intercept in this hole may be explained by having drilled partially oblique to several of these high-grade
veins. Nevertheless, high gold grades are also sometimes associated with Set 2 structures, as evidenced by a steeply
west-southwest dipping mineralized vein in hole WHTULR21D005 that graded 15 g/t Au over 1.00m. More closely
spaced drilling is required to better model these mineralized zones, determine gold grade variations, and estimate
true thicknesses.
Given the encouraging results from the 2021 drill program, additional diamond drilling is warranted to further
test the mineralized zones both along strike and at depth.
