White Gold Corp. (TSX.V: WGO, OTC – Nasdaq Intl: WHGOF,
FRA: 29W) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that
further to its news release dated June 10, 2019, the Company has
filed a National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") technical report
outlining an increased Mineral Resource Estimate for the White Gold
property located in Yukon, Canada. The update was performed based
on the results of the Company’s 2018 exploration work on the Golden
Saddle & Arc deposits. The Company’s 2019 fully funded $13
million program backed by partners Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (TSX:
AEM, NYSE: AEM) and Kinross Gold Corp (TSX: K, NYSE: KGC) is
underway and includes 17,000 metres of diamond drilling on the
Vertigo target (JP Ross property), Golden Saddle & Arc deposits
(White Gold property) and QV property.
Resource Highlights
Include:
- Indicated Mineral Resource of 1,039,600 gold ounces within
14,330,000 tonnes at 2.26 g/t gold, and Inferred Mineral Resource
of 508,700 gold ounces within 10,696,000 tonnes at 1.48 g/t gold,
from the Golden Saddle (“GS”) and Arc deposits representing a 25%
increase based on 2018 exploration work.
- 8% increase in Indicated Resources and 80% in Inferred
Resources.
- Increase in the Golden Saddle driven by the 2018 GS West Zone
discovery, expansion of the GS Main and Footwall Zones and
expansion of potential underground ounces.
- Increases in the Arc driven by 2018 drilling and updated
geologic modelling.
- GS & Arc mineralization remains open along strike and down
dip/plunge. Significant ounces added with only 12,368m of drilling
in 2018 on these zones.
- GS Main Zone contains a consistent high-grade core of 832,000
gold ounces at a grade of 2.96 g/t gold in the Indicated category
and 107,000 gold ounces at a grade of 3.18 g/t gold Inferred using
a >1 g/t cut-off. Included in this high-grade core is 525,600
gold ounces at a grade of 4.68 g/t gold in the Indicated category
and 81,900 gold ounces at a grade of 4.74 g/t gold Inferred using a
>3 g/t cut-off.

“We are very pleased with the significant
increase in our mineral resource estimate. This expansion further
demonstrates the continued success of our systematic data driven
exploration methodologies and the value we are generating across
our unique portfolio of properties. Continued expansion of the
deposits is one important component of our 2019 exploration
program, which has been designed to add additional near-surface
ounces to the deposits and demonstrate the potential of the newly
identified targets,” stated David D’Onofrio, Chief Executive
Officer. “Drilling on the White Gold property is currently underway
and we look forward to the upcoming results.”

discoveries including the Coffee project owned by Newmont Goldcorp
Corporation with a M&I gold resource(1) of 3.4M oz and Western
Copper and Gold Corporation’s Casino project which has P&P gold
reserves(1) of 8.9M oz Au and 4.5B lb Cu. For more information

be forward-looking statements. In this news release,
forward-looking statements relate, among other things, the
Company’s objectives, goals and exploration activities conducted
and proposed to be conducted at the Company’s properties; future
growth potential of the Company, including whether any proposed
exploration programs at any of the Company’s properties will be
successful; exploration results; and future exploration plans and
costs and financing availability.
These forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions and estimates of management of the Company
at the time such statements were made. Actual future results may
differ materially as forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the
actual results, 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:; expected
benefits to the Company relating to exploration conducted and
proposed to be conducted at the Company’s properties; failure to
identify any additional mineral resources or significant
mineralization; 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 Company’s 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 and mineral exploration; 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 in the most recently filed management’s
discussion and analysis of the Company. Although the
forward-looking statements contained in this news release are based
upon what management of the Company believes, or believed at the
