White Gold Widens Saddle High-Grade Zone
White Gold Corp. announced new assay results from its 2025 diamond drill program at the Golden Saddle and Arc deposits in Yukon. The drilling pushed the high‑grade core at Golden Saddle 50 m westward at a depth of 350 m and intersected 3.23 g/t gold over 56.1 m, confirming continuity along the plunge direction. At the Arc deposit, a down‑plunge test extended mineralization 100 m deeper, returning 2.73 g/t gold over 4.35 m and revealing additional parallel gold‑bearing panels. The results support the current resource estimate of 35.2 Mt indicated at 1.53 g/t gold and suggest significant upside potential for further resource growth.
