White Gold Stakes Additional Claims Around Recent High Grade Gold
Discovery at the Vertigo Target on JP Ross Property and Along Mineralized
Trend
White Gold Corp. (TSX.V: WGO, OTC – Nasdaq Intl: WHGOF, FRA: 29W) (the "Company") is pleased to announce it
has staked an additional 717 mining claims totaling 14,260 hectares (the “Staked Claims”) contiguous to the
Company’s JP Ross, Hen, and Stewarts properties, Yukon, Canada. The staked claims further extend the Company’s
land package immediately to the west and south of the Company’s JP Ross property in the area surrounding the
recently announced Vertigo discovery where preliminary drill results(1) included from trace to 56.25 g/t Au over
3.05m within a broader intercept of 17.34 g/t Au over 10.67m from 3.05m depth (JPRVERRAB18‐001) and 45.00 g/t
Au over 3.05m from 1.52m depth, within a broader intercept of 9.65 g/t Au over 15.24m (JPRVERRAB18‐011).
Additional exploration in the area also encountered multiple high‐grade grab samples(2) including 139.9 g/t, 135.6
g/t and 132.9g/t Au defining a strike length of approximately 1.1km on the vertigo target along a 12km mineralized
trend. Maps further detailing the property locations can be found at http://whitegoldcorp.ca/investors/exploration‐
highlights/.
The staking of these claims further expands the Company’s dominant land package in the White Gold District to
21,218 quartz claims, totaling over 423,000 hectares and representing over 40% of the district.
David D’Onofrio, Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated: “With the recent high grade discovery at the Vertigo
Target and our interpretation of the trend which appears to extend over 12km, we were very keen to acquire
additional claims in this area. We believe this is potentially a large, high‐grade, structurally controlled gold system
and with this staking and the recent acquisitions, we have secured the land position surrounding the discovery. We
are continuing to apply our proprietary exploration to further explore the area and are eagerly anticipating further
drill results from these and our other properties.”
JP Ross Property
The JP Ross property is comprised of 2,850 quartz claims covering over 57,000 hectares of exploration ground which
currently has at least 14 known anomalous trends including the Vertigo and Suspicion, and numerous placer gold
bearing creeks. Preliminary drill results(1) on the Vertigo target ranged from trace to 56.25 g/t Au over 3.05m within
a broader intercept of 17.34 g/t Au over 10.67m from 3.05m depth (JPRVERRAB18‐001) and 45.00 g/t Au over 3.05m
from 1.52m depth, within a broader intercept of 9.65 g/t Au over 15.24m (JPRVERRAB18‐011). Additional
exploration in the area also encountered multiple high‐grade grab samples(2) including 139.9 g/t, 135.6 g/t and
132.9g/t Au defining a strike length of approximately 1.1km on the vertigo target along a 12km mineralized trend.
The JP Ross property is road accessible from Dawson City and the Vertigo Target is within 2km of an existing road.
Recently staked and acquired claims adjacent to the property are situated within a prolific placer mining camp where
coarse placer gold is common.
The property is located 25km north of the Company’s flagship White Gold property which has a mineral resource of
960,970 ounces Indicated at 2.43 g/t gold and 262,220 ounces Inferred at 1.70 g/t gold and 55km north of the Coffee
project owned by Goldcorp Inc. with a M&I gold resource(3) of 4.1M oz. Historic exploration performed on the JP
Ross property by Underworld Resources and Kinross Gold includes geochemical surveys, trenching, airborne
magnetic and radiometric surveys, and 8,592m of diamond drilling over 64 holes. 14 target areas are currently
known and large portions of the property are unexplored.
Potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral
resource on the JP Ross property to date and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in such target being
delineated as a mineral resource.

About White Gold Corp.
The Company owns a portfolio of 21,218 quartz claims across 34 properties covering over 423,000 hectares
representing over 40% of the Yukon’s White Gold District. The Company’s flagship White Gold property has a mineral
resource of 960,970 ounces Indicated at 2.43 g/t gold and 282,490 ounces Inferred at 1.70 g/t gold as set forth in
the technical report entitled “Independent Technical Report for the White Gold Project, Dawson Range, Yukon,
Canada”, dated March 5, 2018, filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR. Mineralization on the Golden Saddle
and Arc is also known to extend beyond the limits of the current resource estimate. Regional exploration work has
also produced several other prospective targets on the Company’s claim packages which border sizable gold
discoveries including the Coffee project owned by Goldcorp Inc. (TSX: G, NYSE:GG) with a M&I gold resource(3) of
4.1M oz and Western Copper and Gold Corporation’s Casino project which has P&P gold reserves(3) of 8.9M oz Au
and 4.5B lb Cu. The Company has outlined an aggressive exploration plan backed by partners Agnico Eagle Mines
Limited (TSX: AEM, NYSE: AEM) and Kinross Gold Corp (TSX: K, NYSE: KGC). For more information visit

QA/QC
The analytical work for the 2018 program has been performed by Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd., an
internationally recognized analytical services provider, at its Vancouver, British Columbia laboratory. Sample
preparation was carried out at its Whitehorse, Yukon facility. All GT Probe, RAB, RC, and diamond core samples were
prepared using procedure PRP70‐250 (crush, split and pulverize 250 g to 200 mesh) and analyzed by method FA430
(30g fire assay with AAS finish) and AQ200 (0.5g, aqua regia digestion and ICP‐MS analysis). Samples containing
>10g/t Au were reanalyzed using method FA530 (30g Fire Assay with gravimetric finish). Metallic‐screen analysis
may also be utilized if coarse gold mineralization is encounter (FS600).
The work was completed using industry standard procedures, including a quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC)
program consisting of the regular insertion of certified standards and blanks into the sample stream. The qualified
person detected no significant QA/QC issues during review of the data.

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; failure to expand or identify any additional mineral resources; 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 White Gold properties and the Company’s other 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;
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 under the heading "Risks and Uncertainties" in
the Company’s most recently filed management’s discussion and analysis. Although the forward‐looking statements
