As part of its 2018 drill programme at the Yukon property, White Gold said an infill hole revealed an "unexpected zone" had delivered 1.34g/t over 8m. 

This grade is far lower than what Golden Saddle has seen from around 140m depth but could point to "previously unrecognised new zones of mineralisation above the Main Zone", the company said. 

Other positive signs from the latest drilling results include 6.89g/t Au over 32m from 171m and 4.6g/t Au over 44.9m from 218m (both within the main zone). 

White Gold CEO David D'Onofrio said the assay results showed the "strong continuity of the high grade deposit".
