White Gold Corp. (TSX.V: WGO, OTC – Nasdaq Intl: WHGOF, FRA: 29W) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the first ever drill results on the Titan target, Hen property, Yukon. Rotary-Air-Blast (“RAB”) drilling followed up on high-grade prospecting and GT Probe results and intercepted 72.81 g/t Au over 6.09m from 10.67m depth, including 136.36 g/t Au over 3.05m at 12.19m depth within a 32m zone of mineralization, one of the strongest drill holes ever in the White Gold District, Yukon, Canada. The Titan is the most recent high-grade near surface gold discovery generated by the Company’s methodological data driven exploration strategy. The Titan is located on the road-accessible Hen property and consists of a 650m x 650m gold in soil anomaly with multiple other prospective targets that show similar geophysical characteristics to the mineralization encountered in these drill holes. The Company’s previous exploration results on the Titan include grab samples of 605 g/t Au, 497 g/t Au, and 113 g/t Au and soil samples of up to 113 g/t Au, being the highest soil value ever recorded within the Company’s White Gold District database of 400,000+ soil samples. White Gold Corp’s fully-funded $13 million 2019 exploration program backed by partners Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (TSX: AEM, NYSE: AEM) and Kinross Gold Corp (TSX: K, NYSE: KGC) includes diamond drilling on the Vertigo target (JP Ross property), Golden Saddle & Arc deposits (White Gold property) as well as soil sampling, prospecting, GT Probe, trenching and RAB/RC drilling on various other properties across the Company’s expansive land package located in the prolific White Gold District, Yukon, Canada.

Highlights Include:

• First ever drilling on the Titan intersected 72.81 g/t Au over 6.09m from 10.67m depth, including 136.36 g/t Au over 3.05m, within a 32m zone of mineralization and remains open in all directions.
• Previous Titan exploration results include grab samples of 605 g/t Au, 497 g/t Au, and 113 g/t Au with fine grained visible gold observed, and soil samples of up to 113 g/t Au, the highest ever in the Company’s 400,000+ soil sample database.
• The Titan target hosts multiple other untested targets across a 650m x 650m magnetic anomaly with similar geophysical characteristics to those of the drilled mineralization.
• Titan is located on the road-accessible Hen property, contiguous to the JP Ross property, less than 15km from the Vertigo discovery and 25km from the Golden Saddle & Arc deposits.
• Additional regional exploration activity & drill results from the White Gold and JP Ross properties to be released in due course.

"We are very excited about the drill results confirming the discovery of high-grade, near-surface gold mineralization. These results represent the first pass drilling on the new Titan discovery, and are another successful demonstration of our methodical data-based exploration strategy, including our step by step approach of a regional soil program, ground geophysical surveys, GT probing, trenching, geological mapping and other activities. The process led us to directly target this unique magnetite rich mineralization, and again demonstrate that the White Gold District is very prospective ground for various styles of gold mineralization. Follow up activity on the property will be very interesting as we have already identified multiple additional targets within 400 meters of the Titan discovery,” stated Shawn Ryan, Chief Technical Advisor.

Titan Discovery, Hen Property
The Titan discovery is located on the road-accessible Hen property, contiguous to the JP Ross property, approximately 15km north west of the Vertigo discovery and approximately 25km north east of the Golden Saddle & Arc deposits on the White Gold property. The Hen property is situated within a prolific placer mining camp where abundant, coarse placer gold has been recovered from creek gravels on North Henderson Creek immediately east of the Titan.

After soil samples collected on the target returned the highest grade ever noted in the Company’s soil database with results up to 113 g/t Au, announced earlier this year, prospecting samples were collected across the Titan. Mineralized material consisted of strongly sheared and oxidized mafic rocks with disseminated to massive magnetite, fine grained visible gold and strong calc-silicate alteration in the surrounding alteration halo. Assays for the samples returned 78.3 g/t Au, 113 g/t Au, 497 g/t Au, and 605 g/t Au. All are associated with elevated Bi, Cu (up to 0.17%), Fe (up to 36.1%), P (up to >1%) and U.

These high-grade drill results, prospecting samples, soil samples and other positive exploration results are particularly significant as they are the first occurrence of mineralization ever discovered on the Hen property, which has previously seen only limited reconnaissance-stage ridge and spur soil sampling and no drilling. The Company continues to plan and perform follow-up work to obtain an initial estimate of the potential size, scale and number of mineralized gold structures. Based on these strong prospecting, GT Probe and soil results the RAB drilling on Titan was fast tracked in order to complete a preliminary program this field season and gain insight on the target to plan for a more comprehensive program in 2020.

Titan RAB Drill Results
Three RAB drill holes were placed on the Titan totalling 220.97m as an initial drill test and follow up to previously announced high-grade soil, GT Probe, and rock grab sample results. The first two holes were drilled to the north of the discovery pit and oriented due west at a dip of -60^o beneath a northly trending magnetic high feature which is interpreted to be associated with gold mineralization on the target. The third was drilled immediately south of the discovery pit and drilled vertically. Individual assays for the drilling ranged from trace to 226 g/t Au. The individual drill sites will be discussed below with their location referenced to the discovery pit.

HENTTN19RAB-01
Hole 1 was collared 20m to the east-northeast of the initial discovery pit and cut the sheared contact that hosts mineralization and was drilled beneath the plunging shoot where mineralization occurs.

HENTTN19RAB-02
Hole 2 was collared 33m to the north of Hole 1 and approximately 45m north-east of the discovery pit. The hole returned a significant zone of mineralization consisting of 72.81 g/t Au over 6.09m from 10.67m depth, including 136.36 g/t Au over 3.05m from 12.19m depth. The high-grade interval consisted of two 1.52m samples returning 47.3 g/t Au and 226 g/t Au.

The high-grade interval occurs at the top of a broader interval that returned 32m of 14.82 g/t Au, and consistently anomalous mineralization (>0.1 g/t Au) is noted further down the hole to a depth of 83.82m. It is currently unclear if mineralization noted below the high-grade interval is in-situ or potentially cross-contaminated, however, the assays do correspond with elevated resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements to approximately 40m depth indicating the mineralization may be in place.  Completed assay results for the hole is included in the table below.

HENTTN19RAB-03
Hole 3 was located at the southern end of the discovery pit and drilled vertically, with the purpose of testing the near surface mineralization observed in the pit and was drilled to 19.81m depth, with 1.52m of 2.24 g/t Au returned from surface. The hole was drilled immediately south of where the mineralized shoot projects to surface and appears to have only clipped the mineralization at the top of the hole. 

Significant drill results are detailed in the table below. There is not enough information to assess true thickness of mineralization intersected by the drilling at this time.

Preliminary Interpretation
Based on currently available data, including surface and drill hole geochemistry, geophysics, and structural measurements from the discovery pit and optical downhole televiewer surveys on the RAB holes, gold mineralization on the Titan is currently interpreted to occur along discrete high-grade, shallowly north plunging, shoot(s) along a NW striking, NE dipping shear contact between an upper mafic to ultramafic unit and lower metasedimentary units. 

The mineralization has a strong relationship with elevated Bi-Cu-Fe-P+/-U and is associated with strong shearing, semi-massive to massive magnetite, calc-silicate alteration, and fine-grained visible gold within the mafic to ultramafic units.

One shoot has been initially drill tested on the Titan and based on the current interpretation it is exceptionally high-grade, near-surface, and open in all directions. Additionally, the mineralization has a strong association with magnetite and associated, northly trending, magnetic high in geophysical surveys over the target. Multiple additional northly trending magnetic highs are noted across the Titan and may represent additional, untested, trends of mineralization. 

Hole HENTTN19RAB-001 cut the sheared contact that hosts mineralization, and was drilled beneath the plunging shoot where mineralization occurs. Additionally, hole HENTTN19RAB-003 was drilled immediately south of where the mineralized shoot projects to surface and only clipped the mineralization at the top of the hole.  This is visualized in a long-section across the Titan, and is still early to determine on what is controlling the interpreted plunge and localization of the mineralization.
