White Gold Corp. Shines at the Heart of Yukon’s Mining Revival

• White Gold Corp. just delivered a major resource expansion, boosting its gold inventory by 44% in indicated and 13.4% in inferred ounces, for a new total of 3 million ounces.
• Backed by industry giants like Agnico Eagle and controlling 40% of the prolific White Gold District, the company is positioned between some of Canada’s largest gold projects, maximizing regional upside and investor leverage.
• With Yukon infrastructure upgrades, fully funded exploration, and new discoveries in gold and critical minerals, White Gold’s technology-driven approach is propelling it to the forefront of the region’s  mining revival.

“Our new updated resource estimate is another key step in unlocking the full potential of our district-scale land package. It reflects not just growth in ounces but growth in understanding, which is foundational for real value creation in one of the world’s most prospective jurisdictions.”
— White Gold CEO David D’Onofrio

The Yukon’s gold industry is in its most exciting chapter since the Klondike boom of the late 1800s, when prospectors chased fortune with little more than pans and pickaxes. Now the rush has returned, this time, powered by data, discipline, and new discoveries.

As gold prices soar, technology and investment are converging across the North, unlocking new resources and reaffirming the Yukon’s place as one of the world’s most promising gold frontiers.

At the centre of this resurgence is White Gold Corp. (TSXV: WGO), who’s recently filed NI 43-101 Technical Report has cast a bright new shine on Canada’s North.

The company’s 2025 update shows a 44% increase in indicated resources and a 13.4% increase in inferred resources, lifting the White Gold Project’s total to roughly 3 million ounces across four deposits, which are all near surface and open for expansion.

The new modelling highlights stronger geological continuity, higher-grade distribution, and optimized pit designs, positioning the project as one of the most attractive undeveloped open-pit gold systems in the country.

“Our new updated resource estimate is another key step in unlocking the full potential of our district-scale land package. It reflects not just growth in ounces but growth in understanding, which is foundational for real value creation in one of the world’s most prospective jurisdictions,” said CEO David D’Onofrio. 

White Gold controls 305,000 hectares, representing about 40% of the entire White Gold District, giving it unmatched leverage to the region’s next wave of discovery. That footprint includes several high-priority exploration corridors with room to grow.

At the core of the company’s resource base is the Golden Saddle deposit, which hosts 1.1 million ounces of indicated gold grading 2.84 g/t and 93,000 ounces inferred at 2.03 g/t. Its high-grade core drives project economics and provides a model for future expansion.

Nearby, the Ryan’s Surprise deposit and its 6.5-kilometre Ryan’s Trend corridor remain open in all directions, with several untested zones showing identical geochemical signatures. The Chris Creek and Betty Ford targets have also delivered standout results, including 50 metres grading 3.46 g/t gold, extending the discovery potential across an already proven district.

The company’s reach extends beyond gold. White Gold is identifying opportunities tied to Canada’s Critical Minerals Strategy, with properties showing potential for copper, tungsten, bismuth, and antimony.

“These assets may ultimately form the foundation for a separate entity, creating parallel streams of value for shareholders while keeping our focus on gold growth,” said D’Onofrio.

White Gold’s rise is backed by a partnership structure that combines financial muscle and technical expertise. Agnico Eagle Mines Limited, one of Canada’s premier gold producers, holds roughly 20% of White Gold and continues to participate in every financing. In September 2025, the company announced a $20-million private placement led by Clarus Securities, to secure funding for its 2026 exploration campaign and ongoing work toward a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).

“Our exploration programs are fully funded, allowing us to expand drilling, refine our resource models, and advance toward economic studies,” D’Onofrio said. “We’re well positioned to turn this momentum into long-term value.”

That momentum is reinforced by the Yukon’s improving infrastructure. The $468-million Yukon Resource Gateway Project is upgrading more than 650 kilometres of mining roads, directly benefiting projects like White Gold’s. The territory is also advancing the BC-Yukon Grid Connect Project, a $40-million initiative to link the Yukon to the North American power grid, lowering costs and emissions for future mines. The Port of Skagway redevelopment in Alaska will further expand mineral shipping capacity, strengthening logistics across the North.

As the next generation of the gold rush unfolds, White Gold Corp. is leading from the front. With strong partners, expanding resources, and a district-scale position in one of the world’s most mining-friendly jurisdictions, the company is defining what the new Yukon Gold Rush looks like.

The Top Pick in Muskoka

White Gold Corp. (TSXV: WGO)

1. As of market open on Thursday, October 9 2025
2. As of market open on Monday, September 29 2025 after being selected as a Top Pick at the CEM Muskoka Capital Event

In this IBE Newsletter Q&A, CEO David D’Onofrio explains why White Gold Corp. earned its Top Pick recognition at the CEM Muskoka Capital Event 2025, outlining the company’s growth strategy, exploration momentum, and what’s fuelling renewed investor confidence in Yukon’s modern gold rush.

Give us an idea of the regional developments around your land package and what do they mean for White Gold?

“The Yukon is seeing one of its most active exploration cycles in decades, and the White Gold District has become a key focus for global investors. Our project sits between Newmont’s Coffee Project, which hosts nearly 3 million ounces of gold, and Western Copper & Gold’s Casino Project, one of Canada’s largest undeveloped gold-copper assets with over 14 million ounces of gold and 7.6 billion pounds of copper.

These regional successes are driving new investment and infrastructure commitments that directly benefit White Gold. The Yukon Resource Gateway Project, is upgrading over 650 kilometres of roads, much of which will be through the Dawson Range, connecting our projects to Dawson City and export ports. Part of that is a road that’s going to go through our portfolio all the way up to Dawson, unlocking the potential for what we envisioned. Another part is in the southern end of our property portfolio.

This kind of infrastructure investment reduces costs, improves access, and supports a development model where multiple satellite deposits feed a centralized milling hub, effectively transforming the region into a multi-mine camp rather than isolated projects. Institutional money is also returning to the Yukon, driven by discoveries at Snowline Gold, Sitka, and Banyan Gold. Our 305,000-hectare land package, the largest in the district, gives us unmatched exposure to this regional growth trend.”

What are some of the key catalysts on the horizon?

“Over the next few months, investors can expect a steady flow of catalysts as we continue to expand our resources and move the project toward its next stage of economic evaluation.

Our 2026 exploration program will be fully funded following a $20-million private placement announced in September, which included continued participation from Agnico Eagle, now holding nearly 20 percent of White Gold.

We’re advancing on several fronts at once. Drill testing is ongoing at our flagship Golden Saddle and Arc deposits. We’re also resampling more than 7,000 metres of historical core that was never tested, giving us a low-cost opportunity to add ounces. At the same time, we’re expanding work along the Ryan’s Surprise and Chris Creek corridors … areas that have already shown strong mineralization and high-grade intercepts.

All of this is leading us toward our Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), which will quantify the project’s overall development potential. We’ve spent years refining our exploration protocol, and I believe we’ve really cracked the code for this area by integrating soil geochemistry, geophysics, and bedrock analysis to prioritize targets with the best potential. This approach keeps delivering new discoveries and measurable growth.

With drilling underway, data integration progressing, and multiple expansion opportunities in motion, our focus is on turning geological success into real, lasting economic value for shareholders.”

Why Invest in White Gold Now?

“Right now is a compelling time to be looking at White Gold. What really sets us apart is the high-grade nature of our deposits and the size of our land package. Almost all of our ounces are near surface and open-pittable, which is a big advantage in today’s market where capital efficiency matters.

As I’ve said before, we have the highest-grade deposit in the territory, and the core of our main zone is exceptionally high-grade, particularly by open-pit standards.

Beyond gold, our land package is also prospective for critical minerals such as copper, tungsten, molybdenum, and bismuth. We’re looking at ways to spin those assets into a separate company, which would allow us to unlock that value for our shareholders while keeping our focus on expanding our gold resource.

We’re also fortunate to have the support of Agnico Eagle. Their continued participation gives investors’ confidence in our strategy. Combined with the technical leadership of Shawn Ryan,  whose discoveries have brought hundreds of millions of dollars of investment to the Yukon, we have the experience and backing to keep delivering.

In an environment where new gold discoveries are becoming increasingly rare, White Gold is one of the largest and highest-quality resource bases in the district, and we’re still just scratching the surface of what this land package can deliver. So were equally excited in the opportunity to make brand new discoveries”

Our View

• Proven growth and exploration edge: White Gold’s latest technical update confirms stronger grades and expanding resources across its core deposits. Led by a veteran team, the company’s systematic exploration model, including integrating soil geochemistry, geophysics, and drilling, continues to convert early-stage targets into meaningful discoveries. That reinforces the company isn’t just adding ounces, it’s enhancing quality through data-driven discovery.
• District-scale control with powerful partnerships: Holding about 40% of the entire White Gold District gives the company a commanding regional position between Newmont’s Coffee and Western Copper & Gold’s Casino projects. This scale is strengthened by Agnico Eagle’s 20% stake and ongoing participation in every major financing. With a fully funded exploration program and a clear path toward a PEA, White Gold is moving closer to anchoring the Yukon’s next multi-mine camp.
• Infrastructure tailwinds and future value creation: The Yukon is being reshaped by large-scale infrastructure projects from the $468-million Resource Gateway road upgrades to power grid links and expanded port facilities in Skagway, Alaska. These improvements lower costs, shorten timelines, and directly benefit White Gold’s assets. Add in the potential upside from critical minerals, and it’s easy to see why investors view White Gold as both a near-term growth story and a long-term cornerstone of the North’s resource future.
