What White Gold does

White Gold Corp. is a Canadian gold exploration company operating exclusively in the White Gold District of the Yukon Territory, south of Dawson City. Originally incorporated as G4G Capital Corp. in 2016 and renamed in December 2016 following the acquisition of properties from prospector Shawn Ryan and Wildwood Exploration Inc., the company controls approximately 40% of the district through a 315,000+ hectare land package spanning 26 mineral properties. Its flagship White Gold Project hosts four near-surface gold deposits (Golden Saddle, Arc, VG, and Ryan's Surprise) with indicated resources of 1,732,300 oz gold at 1.53 g/t and inferred resources of 1,265,900 oz gold at 1.22 g/t. The company is publicly listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V: WGO) and OTCQX (WHGOF), headquartered in Toronto, with field operations based in Whitehorse and Dawson City, Yukon.

The company's exploration methodology combines conventional soil sampling, induced polarization (IP) and resistivity geophysics, magnetics, VLF-EM, and hyperspectral analysis with AI-driven satellite-based mineral detection, machine learning analytics, and 3D geological modeling. Its wholly-owned subsidiary GroundTruth Exploration Inc. operates a proprietary Drone-to-Drill program that has reduced exploration costs by up to 85%, while Fault Rocks Inc. provides structural geology consulting. The technical team is anchored by co-founder and Chief Technical Advisor Shawn Ryan, Technical Advisor Hans Smit (founder of Orla Mining), VP Exploration Dylan Langille (former Great Bear Resources discovery team member), and President Donovan Pollitt (former President and CEO of Wesdome Gold Mines). Discovery-stage targets include the Vertigo, Ulli's Ridge, Betty Ford, and Chris Creek targets; early-stage critical minerals exposure includes the Pedlar-Bridget and Hayes-Isaac porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold targets.

White Gold Corp. is a pre-revenue mineral exploration company and does not generate operating revenue. Its business model relies on equity private placements to fund exploration activities, with strategic shareholder Agnico Eagle Mines Limited holding approximately 19.9% ownership and participating as lead investor in multiple financings from 2017 through 2025, including an upsized C$23 million placement in October 2025. Future monetization is intended to come from gold production, asset transactions, or the planned spin-off of critical mineral assets into W2 Critical Minerals Corp., in which White Gold will retain approximately 19% ownership, with record date June 29, 2026 and shareholder meeting August 11, 2026. The company has 51–100 employees and a market capitalization of approximately C$311.6 million following the spin-out announcement.
