White Gold Corp. (TSXV: WGO, OTCQX: WHGOF, FRA: 29W) has released a major technical report confirming strong growth at its flagship White Gold Project in Yukon, Canada. The updated estimate shows a 44% increase in indicated resources, now totaling 1.73 million ounces of gold within 35.2 million tonnes grading 1.53 grams per tonne, and a 13.4% increase in inferred resources to 1.27 million ounces over 32.2 million tonnes grading 1.22 g/t. The project’s Golden Saddle and Arc deposits demonstrate improved geological continuity and grade distribution, strengthening their overall economic potential and confirming the White Gold Project’s position as one of Canada’s most significant undeveloped open-pit gold assets.
The deposits, including Golden Saddle, Arc, Ryan’s Surprise, and VG, are near surface and fall almost entirely within open-pit shells, making them well suited for lower-cost mining techniques. Mineralization remains open along strike and at depth, suggesting substantial potential for continued resource expansion through drilling and exploration.
White Gold’s 2025 exploration program aims to build aggressively on these results. Current initiatives include geophysical surveys such as induced polarization (IP) measurements across multiple prospects within the company’s 305,000-hectare district-scale land package. These studies target both gold and critical minerals such as copper, molybdenum, and antimony. The campaign is designed to delineate new mineralized zones, refine geological models, and support an upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment that will evaluate project economics in greater detail.
Chief Executive Officer David D’Onofrio emphasized that the updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) marks a critical milestone for growth: “The updated MRE on our flagship White Gold Project represents another key development for the continued growth and advancement of our resources, which now ranks as one of the highest-grade undeveloped open pittable gold deposits in Canada. Significant opportunities exist to continue to expand the resource through further drilling, optimization of the resource model, and exploration of the Target for Further Exploration area.”
Vice President of Exploration Dylan Langille added: “This updated Mineral Resource Estimate represents the first step in a staircase of opportunity to continue unlocking value across our flagship deposits. With a significantly expanded 2025 exploration program, we look forward to advancing our existing deposits and testing new high-potential targets across our extensive land package rich in gold and critical minerals.”
The White Gold Project lies about 95 kilometers south of Dawson City in the productive White Gold District, surrounded by major deposits. Nearby, Newmont Corporation’s Coffee Project holds nearly 3 million ounces of indicated gold, while Western Copper and Gold’s Casino Project, 58 kilometers northwest, has about 14.8 million ounces of measured and indicated gold resources along with major copper reserves. This proximity underscores Yukon’s geological strength and highlights White Gold’s strategic positioning in a region with proven mineral richness and strong infrastructure growth.
Economically, the updated pit models are based on a gold price of US$2,250 per ounce, with conservative mining and processing costs. The near-surface nature and high grades of the Golden Saddle Main zone, hosting about 1.1 million ounces of indicated gold at 2.84 g/t, enhance the project’s strong economics and development potential in a stable jurisdiction.
White Gold’s technical teams are also re-evaluating historical drilling to identify previously unmodeled mineralization and strengthen resource confidence. Combined with ongoing metallurgical studies to optimize gold recoveries, this integrated approach balances aggressive expansion with sound technical analysis.
The company’s extensive land position offers exceptional discovery potential across over 3,000 square kilometers. Supported by strategic partner Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (TSX: AEM, NYSE: AEM), White Gold is advancing a disciplined growth plan aimed at scaling resources and pursuing economic assessments that could move the project toward development.
As the company continues to increase its gold and critical mineral resources, it is emerging as a notable player within Canada’s top-tier mining jurisdictions. For investors and analysts observing the sector, White Gold Corp. represents a compelling Yukon success story of exploration excellence, project growth, and strategic alignment with global demand for both precious and critical metals.
