White Gold (TSX-V:WGO) has begun a 2026 exploration program at the company’s namesake project in Yukon, Canada.
The program aims to grow and expand the resource within, adjacent, and in close proximity to White Gold’s known gold resources, namely, the Golden Saddle, Arc, Ryan’s Surprise, and VG deposits.
In conjunction, White Gold aims to focus on further advancing discovery-stage targets, alongside evaluating high-priority early stage prospects for discovery potential.
A maiden preliminary economic assessment on the White Gold Project is continuing to advance, and is expected to be released in the near term.
CEO David D’Onofrio says with three drill rigs turning across the White Gold Project, the program is designed to pursue meaningful resource growth while continuing to unlock the broader potential of the district-scale land package.
“We are entering into a catalyst rich period for potential value creation and as we work to further establish White Gold as one of Canada’s premier emerging gold exploration and development companies with exceptional projects backed by the right people, in the right place at the right time,” D’Onofrio says.
Building on 2025 exploration
Vice President of Exploration Dylan Langille says the 2026 exploration program builds on last year’s campaign, which extended the core at Golden Saddle and intersected gold mineralisation at Arc.
“Those results gave us the confidence in the depth and strike potential of these systems, and now, with a fully funded and significantly larger program, we have the opportunity to meaningfully move the needle for growth on all four deposits simultaneously,” Langille says.
“Our objective is clear: grow ounces at Golden Saddle, Arc, Ryan’s Surprise, and VG, while also advancing our most exciting near-deposit and discovery-stage targets.
“If the geological story continues to unfold the way the data suggests it could, we have every reason to believe that there can be significant growth and more discoveries to be made.”
All four deposits remain open for expansion along strike and down-dip.
The White Gold Project’s gold resource comprises over 1.73 million ounces in the indicated category and 1.26 million ounces in the inferred category.
White Gold’s property portfolio includes 15,362 quartz claims across 21 properties covering 300,000 hectares and hosts numerous prospective gold and critical mineral targets.
