Whitehorse Gold (WHG) intersected 32 grams per tonne of gold equivalent over 4.2 metres at its Skukum gold project in southern Yukon.

These bonanza-grade results were found in a step-out drill hole in the Rainbow 2 Zone of the property, one of four zones on the Skukum project.

The hole also intersected a 2.4-metre interval grading 11.6 g/t gold equivalent. Together, these intersections represent a significant extension of the Rainbow 2 Zone.

Kevin Weston, CEO of Whitehorse Gold, commented,

“Hole SC21-015 has returned the highest-grade gold intervals to date from our drill program and shows potential for higher grades and resource expansion at the Skukum Gold Project.”

“With results now released for 7 drill holes,” added Mr. Weston, “we look forward to announcing results from the remaining 37 holes over the coming months and are excited by the potential to advance the project towards a development path.”

The company will release more drill results as they are received over the coming months.

Whitehorse Gold is a responsible mineral exploration and development company focused on its project in southern Yukon.

The Yukon project hosts the advanced-stage Skukum Creek and Goddell deposits and the formerly producing Mt. Skukum high-grade gold mine, all of which remain open for expansion.

Whitehorse Gold (WHG) is currently down 3.70 per cent, trading at $0.78 per share as of 2:18 pm ET.
