(TSX.V: WGO, OTC - Nasdaq Intl: WHGOF, FRA: 29W) (the "Company" or "White Gold") is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement with Clarus Securities Inc. ("Clarus" or the "Lead Agent") and a syndicate including Eight Capital, and Stifel GMP (together with the Lead Agent the "Agents") who will act on behalf of the Company, on a "best efforts" agency basis, in connection with a brokered private placement (the "Offering") of premium flow-through units (each a "Premium Flow-Through Unit"), at a price of $0.87 per Premium Flow-Through Unit, flow-through common shares (each a "Flow-Through Share"), at a price of $0.75 per Flow-Through Share, and units of the Company (each a "Unit") at a price of $0.65 per Unit.

The Company will grant the Agents an option (the "Agent's Option"), which will allow the Agents to offer up to an additional 20% of the Offering, on the same terms as the Units, Premium Flow-Through Units and Flow-Through Shares. The Agent's Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the Closing Date of the Offering.

"We are very grateful for the continued support of our major shareholders as we embark on our 2021 field season, which we anticipate to be exciting and impactful focused on highly anticipated targets, recent discoveries and our existing mineral resources. Further details to be provided in the coming weeks," stated David D'Onofrio, Chief Executive Officer.

The gross proceeds from the sale of the Premium Flow-Through Units and the Flow-Through Shares will be used by the Company to incur exploration expenditures on its properties in the White Gold District of the Yukon Territory (the "Qualifying Expenditures") prior to December 31, 2022. The Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced to subscribers of Premium Flow-Through Units and Flow-Through Shares for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The gross proceeds from the sale of the Units will be used for general corporate expenses.

Pursuant to existing investor rights agreements between the Company and each of Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (TSX: AEM, NYSE: AEM) ("Agnico") and Kinross Gold Corporation (TSX: K, NYSE: KGC) ("Kinross"), both Agnico and Kinross have the right to participate in the Offering in order to maintain their respective interests in the Company, and both have indicated to the Company that they will each maintain their current approximate 17% interest in the Company.

This proposed Offering is subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Premium Flow-Through Units, the Flow-Through Shares and the Units to be issued under the Offering will be offered pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws. Closing of the Offering is anticipated to occur on or about July 29, 2021 or such other date as may be agreed to by the Company and Clarus (the "Closing Date"). The securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the Closing Date in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

Participation by Agnico and Kinross, and any other insiders of the Company (collectively, the "Insiders"), in the Offering will be considered a "related party transaction" pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61- 101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company will be exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with the Insiders' participation in the Offering in reliance of sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101. A material change report will be filed in connection with the participation of Insiders in the Offering less than 21 days in advance of the closing of the Offering, which the Company deemed reasonable in the circumstances so as to be able to avail itself of potential financing opportunities and complete the Offering in an expeditious manner.

In this news release, forward-looking statements relate, among other things, the Offering, the use of proceeds from the Offering, the Company's objectives, goals and exploration activities conducted and proposed to be conducted at the Company's properties; future growth potential of the Company, including whether any proposed exploration programs at any of the Company's properties will be successful; exploration results; and future exploration plans and costs and financing availability. These forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates of management of the Company at the time such statements were made. Actual future results may differ materially as forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to materially differ from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors, among other things, include: the expected benefits to the Company relating to the exploration conducted and proposed to be conducted at the White Gold properties; the receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals for the Offering; failure to identify any additional mineral resources or significant mineralization; the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results; uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, including to fund any exploration programs on the Company's properties; business integration risks; fluctuations in general macroeconomic conditions; fluctuations in securities markets; fluctuations in spot and forward prices of gold, silver, base metals or certain other commodities; fluctuations in currency markets (such as the Canadian dollar to United States dollar exchange rate); change in national and local government, legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic developments; risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations pressures, cave-ins and flooding); inability to obtain adequate insurance to cover risks and hazards; the presence of laws and regulations that may impose restrictions on mining and mineral exploration; employee relations; relationships with and claims by local communities and indigenous populations; availability of increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development (including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses, permits and approvals from government authorities); the unlikelihood that properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines; geological factors; actual results of current and future exploration; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be evaluated; soil sampling results being preliminary in nature and are not conclusive evidence of the likelihood of a mineral deposit; title to properties; ongoing uncertainties relating to the COVID-19 pandemic; and those factors described under the heading "Risks Factors" in the Company's annual information form dated July 29, 2020 available on SEDAR.
