Executive Summary

  • White Gold Corp. filed an updated NI 43‑101 technical report showing a 44% increase in Indicated gold resources and a 13% increase in Inferred resources, now totaling 1,732,300 oz Indicated and 1,265,900 oz Inferred across the Golden Saddle, Arc, Ryan’s Surprise and VG deposits.
  • The revised model demonstrates improved geological continuity, higher grade cores (e.g., 2.84 g/t Au at a 0.3 g/t cut‑off) and expanded pit designs, enhancing the project’s economic potential.
  • A robust 2025 exploration program has been outlined to further grow the resource base and support an upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).

Key Details

  • Effective date of MRE: August 19 2025.
  • Qualified Person: Dr. Gilles Arseneau, P.Geo., ACS (independent QP). Technical report available on SEDAR+.
  • Resource Highlights
  • Indicated: 1,732,300 oz Au in 35.2 Mt @ 1.53 g/t Au (57.8% of total).
  • Inferred: 1,265,900 oz Au in 32.3 Mt @ 1.22 g/t Au (42.2% of total).
  • Golden Saddle Main Zone – 1,100,000 oz Indicated @ 2.84 g/t Au (0.3 g/t cut‑off); at a 3.0 g/t cut‑off the core holds 695,000 oz Indicated @ 4.88 g/t Au.
  • Resource Growth vs. 2024 MRE – Indicated resources up 44%, Inferred up 13.4%.
  • Deposit Coverage: Updated model includes Golden Saddle, Arc, Ryan’s Surprise, VG; all near‑surface, open‑pit dominated (99% within pit shells).
  • Exploration Outlook 2025 – Targeted diamond drilling at Golden Saddle (high‑grade footwall breccia), Arc (down‑dip extension & metallurgical feedstock), systematic relogging/resampling of historic core to capture missed mineralization.
  • Economic Assumptions Used in Modeling – Gold price US $2,250/oz; exchange rate C$:US$ 0.70; open‑pit mining cost CDN$3.25/t; processing/G&A CDN$27.50/t; underground mining cost CDN$120/t; recoveries 92% (Golden Saddle & VG) and 85% (Arc & Ryan’s Surprise).
  • Technical Methodology – Block model (10 m for Golden Saddle/Arc/VG, 5‑10 m for Ryan’s Surprise); ordinary kriging (Golden Saddle, Arc, VG) and ID2 interpolation (Ryan’s Surprise); pit optimization via GEOVIA Whittle; software: GEMS 6.8.4, Sage2001.
  • Strategic Partners: Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. supporting the work program.
