White Gold Corp. Welcomes Significant Federal and Territorial Government Funding for Road

Access Improvement in Yukon’s White Gold District to Facilitate the Development of the

Natural Resources Sector

Toronto, Ontario – White Gold Corp. (TSX.V: WGO) (the “Company” ) applauds the announcement made on

September 2, 2017 by Prime Minster Justin Trudeau and Yukon Premier Sandy Silver committing more than $360

million in combined federal and territorial funding to improve road access in two mineral -rich areas in Yukon,

including the Dawson Range which hosts the White Gold District. In total, the Yukon Resource Gateway Project

will help upgrade over 650 kilometr es of road and build or rep lace numerous bridges, culverts and stream

crossings. In the Dawson Range, four separate public road systems will be upgraded.

The Company is the largest landholder in the White Gold District, Dawson Range, owning 390,000 hectares which

represents approximately 40% of the district. The properties range from grass roots to more advanced exploration

projects, including approximately one million ounces of gold grading between 2.7 and 3.19 grams per tonne (g/t)

gold (Au) on the Golden Saddle area based on historic estimates of measured and indicated resources on its White

Gold property, in addition to the Arc zone, where the historic resource included 170,470 ounces of gold at a grade

of 1.21 g/t Au in the inferred category.

White Gold Corp. is run by a highly experienced technical team with a track record of multiple discoveries in the

White Gold District, and is currently carrying out a fully finance d three year exploration program including the

expansion of the historic resources . As at the date hereof, Agnico Eagle Mines Limited and Kinross Gold

Corporation (“Kinross”) each own approximately 19.9% of the Company.

Shawn Ryan, Chief Technical Advisor and a Director of the company, commented : “The historic Yukon Resource

Gateway project as announced by Prime Minster Justin Trudeau and Yukon Premier Sandy Silver represents a

major step forward towards unlocking Yukon's mineral potential. White Gold Corp. is fully committed and looks

forward to continue working with the Federal, Territorial and First Nation Governments as we advance our exciting

portfolio of Yukon projects for the benefit of all Canadians.”

The White Gold Property

The White Gold property is located approximately 95km south of Dawson City, Yukon and consists of 1,835 claims

covering approximately 36,265 hectares. The property was historically explored by Underworld Resources Inc.

(“Underworld”) from 2007 - 2009 and included the discovery of the Golden Saddle and Arc zones. In 2010,

Underworld reported a resource estimate of 1,004,570 ounces contained in 9.80 Mt at a grade of 3.19 g/t Au in an

Indicated category, with an additional 407,410 ounces contained in 5.02 Mt at a grade of 2.5 g/t Au in an Inferred

category on the Golden Saddle. At the Arc Zone, the initial resource included 170,470 ounces contained within

4.37 Mt at a grade of 1.21 g/t Au in the inferred category (reported in Underworld Resources New Release

UW2010-NR#2 dated January 19, 2010 and the 43- 101 report titled "White G old Property Dawson Range Yukon,

Canada" dated March 3, 2010, prepared by Lars Weiershäuser, P.Geo, Marek Nowak, P.Eng and Wayne Barnett,

Pr.Sci.Nat. of SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc.) (the “Technical Report”). Kinross purchased Underworld shortly after

the initial resource was released in 2010 and explored the property from 2010 - 2012. In 2013, Kinross released the

results of a resource estimate on the Golden Saddle zone and reported a resource of 840,000 ounces within 9.79

Mt at a grade of 2.67 g/t Au in a n Indicated category, with an additional 125,000 ounces within 2.17 Mt at a grade

of 1.8 g/t Au in an Inferred category (reported in Kinross Gold Corp.'s 2016 Mineral Reserves and Resource

Statement). Both Underworld's and Kinross' resource estimates are c onsidered historical estimates and the

Company is not treating them as current mineral resources. On June 14, 2017, the Company acquired the entities

holding the White Gold Property from Kinross. Although the Company believes these sources to be generally

reliable, such information is subject to interpretation and cannot be verified with complete certainty due to limits

on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other inherent

limitations and uncertainties. In addition to the Golden Saddle and Arc zones, there are numerous other targets

known on the property that warrant follow -up work (for more information see Yukon Assessment Report #'s

095338, 096206, & 096207).

as a current mineral resource. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current

mineral resources or mineral reserves and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources.
