08:18 AM EDT, 09/26/2024 (MT Newswires) -- White Gold (WGO.V) on Thursday said that surface rock sampling on the QV Property in the Yukon has encountered gold in altered and mineralized intrusive rocks over a 1.25 km section of the 2.2 km Chris Creek target.

Fourteen rock samples were collected and all returned anomalous gold including up to 1.06 g/t gold and 1.09 g/t gold. A maiden diamond drilling program at the target has been executed, testing a 400 m strike length of the target, the company said.

"These gold in rock sample results over such a long distance further support the Chris Creek target as an exciting new target on our QV property and another example on the effectiveness of our data-driven exploration protocol to be able to discover a target and quickly advance to maiden diamond drilling," said CEO David D'Onofrio.
