White Gold Corp (TSX-V:WGO) has appointed Donovan Pollitt as President and Director, effective from 6 May 2026.
Pollitt, who joined the company as a strategic advisor in February 2026, will assume this expanded executive role as White Gold endeavours to advance its namesake project in Yukon, Canada.
The company is continuing to conduct resource expansion, completing a maiden preliminary economic assessment, advancing the permitting process towards production, and continuing to make more discoveries showing the cast potential of the district-scale property package in Yukon’s White Gold District.
Pollitt will lead the company in delivering several near-term milestones including executing a 2026 exploration program, which is considered the largest in White Gold’s history.
CEO David D’Onofrio says Pollitt is a highly respected and seasoned mining executive with over 20 years of experience in mining operations, executive management, corporate development, and capital markets activities.
“His diverse technical skillset and relationships within the industry makes Donovan the ideal addition to our team,” D’Onofrio says.
“We look forward to leveraging his operational expertise and strategic vision as we continue to grow our uniquely high-grade gold resource, advance technical studies, conduct the baseline work required to support future production and continue to unlock the vast potential of the White Gold District.”
Pollitt adds that White Gold’s flagship deposit is considered among the “highest grade undeveloped open-pit gold deposits in Canada”.
“Our near-term focus is straightforward: growing the resource through the drill bit, completing a PEA that gives the market a clearer sense of the project’s economics, and advancing the environmental baseline studies that are a necessary precursor to any future permitting and production decision,” he says.
As previously reported, White Gold began procedures for a spin-out transaction to create a new Yukon-focused critical minerals explorer.
The spun-out portfolio comprises six properties representing 15% of the company’s current claims. The claims are considered prospective for copper, molybdenum, tungsten, antimony, zinc, and bismuth.
The White Gold Project currently hosts an indicated resource of 1.73 million ounces of gold and an inferred resource of 1.26 million ounces of gold. The gold resources are near surface, almost entirely captured within open pits, and remain open for expansion in multiple directions.
White Gold Corp owns a portfolio of 15,364 quartz claims across 21 properties covering 305,102 hectares, representing 40% of the Yukon’s emerging White Gold District.
