White Gold Corp. provided results from its 2016 exploration program in the White Gold District of the Yukon Territory. The company has successfully defined drill ready structurally controlled gold targets similar to Goldcorp Inc.'s Coffee deposit and Kinross Gold Corporation's Golden Saddle deposit also located in the White Gold District of the Yukon. Furthermore, the company's 2016 exploration efforts have identified new prospects to add to its strong pipeline of projects for future exploration. The following news release is intended to orient readers on the scale and scope of the 2016 exploration program. 2016 results confirm drill ready targets at Nolan, Loonie, IND, Dime, and Bonanza Properties. 110 g/t Gold from rock grab sample along Lira Trend, Loonie Property. 11,620 soil samples taken on nine properties. 2,456 quartz claims staked covering newly identified prospective areas. The company is the largest land holder in the district with 14,648 claims (297,000 hectares). Fully financed, recently completed a $18 million raise in December 2016, including $14.5 million from Agnico Eagle Mines Limited. Approximately $30 million in historic exploration expenditures have been incurred on the Properties. The 2016 exploration program, completed in the late fall, was comprised of 11,620 soil samples taken on 9 of the company's 23 properties. These samples consisted of ridge and spur reconnaissance soils as well as follow up grids on known anomalies. Soil sampling is an ideal tool for exploration in the White Gold District as the area has not been glaciated and there is a well- developed in place soil profile. In addition to the soil sampling, Drone and/or X-CAM aerial photographic Surveys, Resistivity Geophysical Surveys, detailed geologic mapping and prospecting, GT Probe bedrock sampling, and a compilation of historic work in the White Gold District was also completed. Further to the work performed on the existing projects, the 2016 exploration program also led to new encouraging gold-in-soil results and associated pathfinder elements. Consequently, the company conducted a staking program to consolidate its land position around several of these key soil anomalies, as well as to add entirely new projects to the portfolio staking an additional 2,456 claims. The company now owns a total of 14,648 claims (297,000 hectares), making it the large land holder in the White Gold District. These claims cover 6 project areas: The Sixty Mile, Klondike, Money, White-Stewart, Coffee Trend and Beaver Creek, comprising 23 properties in total. With the December 2016 financing of $18 million completed, the company sits in a unique position with its three year exploration plan fully funded. Money Claim Area: Loonie Property: The Loonie property is located 70 kilometers South West of Dawson City, Yukon Territory adjacent to the Yukon River. Historic exploration work conducted on the Lira was by a private 3rd party from 2011 - 2014 and was not previously publicly disclosed. The historic work included 6,913 soil samples; ground magnetic and IP-Resistivity surveys; drone aerial photography; trenching (1,925m over 17 trenches); and minor RAB drilling (612.65m over 8 holes). Dime Property: Activities in 2016 focused on the East Zone target area with an emphasis on lithologic and structural mapping to help guide RAB drilling activities planned for 2017. Historic exploration results for the Dime Property are summarized in the "43-101 Technical Report on the Dime Project" dated February 9, 2012. Yukon Assessment report YEIP 2013-027. Reba Property (New Property) 231 claims staked covering a new target area immediately to the Northwest of Kinross Gold Corporation's JP Ross property. Sixty Mile Claim Area: Nolan Property: The Nolan property is located approximately 50 km west of Dawson City, Yukon, along the Sixty Mile River, a road accessible area with considerable historic and on-going placer gold activity. The property covers multiple exploration targets that the company consolidated into one large contiguous block of claims after a review of all known data in the area. Historic work on the property was completed by various 3rd party companies and individuals and consisted of soil sampling (9,302 samples), rock grab and chip sampling (289 samples), and minor trenching (206m over 2 trenches). A total of 1842 soil samples were collected in 2016 focusing on the Cali, Nine and Boucher target areas, plus additional ridge & spur reconnaissance samples. Assay values for the 2016 samples ranged from trace to 515.6 ppb Au. Klondike Claim Area: IND property: The IND property is located thirty kilometers south of Dawson City, Yukon territory and is road accessible. Historic work on the IND included 2,542 soil samples; airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys; 3,127m of trenching over 20 trenches, and 1316.73m of diamond drilling over 7 holes. Work on the property in 2016 included the collection of 194 GT Probe bedrock interface samples over 11 lines; covering a 130 m by 260 m area. Assay values range from trace to 2.61 g/t Au and are associated with strongly elevated As. The samples were taken within the center of a 170m x 1km Au-As soil anomaly (from trace to 1273 ppb Au) and mineralization is associated with sheeted ­ stockwork quartz veining and up to 1% disseminated pyrite-arsenopyrite in strongly sericite altered granite. The GT Probe results confirm the presence of in situ mineralization beneath the soil anomaly and the observed geological, geophysical and geochemical results indicate the mineralization is occurring along an E-NE trending structural corridor that was untested by historic exploration on the property. White-Stewart Claim Area: The company has nine properties in this area covering an 80 km trend adjacent to Kinross Gold Corporation's Golden Saddle Deposit and JP Ross property. Hen Property A total of 660 soil samples were collected and consisted of reconnaissance lines with assay results ranging from trace up to 199.4 ppb gold. The strongest gold assay (199.4 ppb) occurs 50m north of a 195 ppb Au sample and both are associated with strongly anomalous Cu (up to 1191 ppm). There is no geologic information for this area and it will require follow up work in 2017 including grid soil sampling and prospecting.
