en.Wedoany.com Reported - White Gold Corp. has announced results from induced polarization (IP) and resistivity ground geophysical programs conducted at the Guilder target on the Loonie property and the Mt. Hart target on the Nolan property, located in the west-central White Gold District, Yukon, Canada. These IP surveys were designed to investigate the subsurface beneath large, multi-element soil geochemical anomalies and complex structural corridors identified by recent LiDAR and VLF-EM surveys.
The survey results successfully delineated multiple drill-ready chargeability anomalies that exhibit strong spatial correlation with interpreted structural conduits and magnetite-destructive alteration zones, as well as metal zonation patterns typical of porphyry and epithermal systems. The company plans to conduct follow-up programs, including ground truthing, structural mapping, trenching, and diamond core drilling.
Vice President of Exploration Dylan Langille stated that the integration of IP geophysical data with geochemical and structural datasets has deepened the understanding of both the Guilder and Mt. Hart targets. At the Guilder target, deep chargeability features align with a NW-trending structural corridor hosting copper-gold soil anomalies, reflecting regionally known porphyry systems. At the Mt. Hart target, the IP data revealed the structural framework controlling the high-grade epithermal and porphyry-style signatures identified through surface mapping.
At the Mt. Hart target, anomalies DM-1 and DM-2 display the most significant chargeability and resistivity contrasts beneath areas with the strongest multi-element soil anomalies and will be prioritized for trenching and subsequent drilling. At the Guilder target on the Loonie property, two high-priority targets, IPDG-2 and IPDG-5, were identified and will be included in the company's previously announced critical minerals resource spin-out plan.
Company CEO David D'Onofrio stated that these results highlight the discovery potential within the company's district-scale property package, and that discovering and advancing early-stage exploration targets remains a core pillar of the exploration pipeline strategy, alongside advancing the flagship White Gold project.
Looking ahead, the company is preparing its largest exploration program for 2026 to expand high-grade gold resources and continue discovering gold and critical minerals. The company plans to file a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the flagship White Gold project, advance environmental baseline studies, and complete the W2 Critical Minerals Corp. transaction.
At the Guilder target, the integration of 2024 VLF-EM data, detailed LiDAR structural interpretation, and ground magnetics helped identify the "Guilder Fault," a 275-meter-wide, NW-SE trending structural corridor. Following the deployment of an IP survey covering 23.6 line-kilometers, three geophysical domains were successfully outlined, with the DM-2 domain showing significant chargeability and conductivity coinciding with the core of the Guilder Fault and copper-molybdenum soil anomalies, interpreted as a major structural conduit or alteration zone associated with a buried porphyry system.
At the Mt. Hart target, an IP survey covering 32.2 line-kilometers was conducted to probe beneath the Carmacks volcanic rocks, revealing the surface structural and alteration framework and identifying 26 chargeability axes within five domains. Two distinct mineralization centers were confirmed: Enchantment Ridge features a strong, shallow chargeability anomaly consistent with Au-As soil geochemistry, interpreted as the epithermal expression of a porphyry system; North Mt. Hart is characterized by a deep chargeability anomaly associated with potassic alteration and multi-element geochemistry.
According to Bob Moriarty of 321gold.com, the company controls approximately 40% of the White Gold District, with Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. holding a 19% stake. He stated that the company possesses one of the most qualified technical teams in Canada, with a fully funded 25,000-meter drill program planned for 2026 and a PEA expected in the first half of 2026.
Reporting from North of 60 Mining News indicates that the company's property package covers approximately 305,102 hectares across 21 properties in the White Gold District. The company's fully funded 2026 exploration program will be its largest in history, aimed at increasing high-grade gold resources, advancing the Preliminary Economic Assessment for the flagship project, continuing environmental baseline studies, and completing the W2 Critical Minerals spin-out.
According to Kitco News and Reuters, the gold market is currently struggling to break through the $4,500 per ounce level, with rising bond yields driven by intensifying inflation concerns. Spot gold was reported at $4,493.60 per ounce, up 0.28%. Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank, noted that long-term fundamentals remain strong globally, with investor focus concentrated on uncertainty. J.P. Morgan revised its 2026 gold price forecast, lowering the expected average price to $5,243 per ounce from the previous $5,708, primarily due to a significant decline in demand. ANZ Bank lowered its year-end gold price target to $5,600. J.P. Morgan remains optimistic on gold's medium-term outlook, expecting prices could climb to $6,000 per ounce by the end of 2026.
Regarding ownership and share structure, management and insiders hold 17.46% of White Gold, institutions hold 4.45%, strategic entities hold 18.9%, with the remainder held by retail investors. The company has a market capitalization of C$425.37 million, with 221.55 million shares outstanding, and a 52-week trading range of C$0.25 to C$2.38.
