David D'Onofrio, Chief Executive Officer of White Gold Corp.

“We are very pleased with the strong interest in our W2 Spin-Out and the support from current and new strategic shareholders. The W2 critical mineral projects have benefited from over a decade of ground-up exploration, and now warrant the dedicated team, strategy and capital that W2 will bring to advance them further. We are also very pleased with progress of the White Gold exploration program, which includes our largest ever diamond drilling program on our flagship project designed to build upon the recently announced strong PEA results and demonstrate the potential to meaningfully further increase our gold resources and continue to make new discoveries. We look forward to the additional assays from this program building on the high-grade gold intercepts across multiple zones on multiple deposits recently announced”
