White Gold has appointed Donovan Pollitt, P.Eng., CFA, as president and as a director of the company. Pollitt, who joined the company as a strategic advisor in February 2026, will assume this expanded executive role as White Gold endeavors to advance its flagship White Gold Project in Yukon, Canada.

“We are thrilled to have Donovan join White Gold as we head into this exciting phase of the company’s growth. Donovan is a highly-respected and seasoned mining executive with more than 20 years of experience in mining operations, executive management, corporate development, and capital markets activities. His diverse technical skillset and relationships within the industry makes Donovan the ideal addition to our team,” said David D’Onofrio, chief executive officer of White Gold.

“We look forward to leveraging his operational expertise and strategic vision as we continue to grow our uniquely high-grade gold resource, advance technical studies, conduct the baseline work required to support future production and continue to unlock the vast potential of the White Gold District,” added D’Onofrio.

“I am pleased to take on the role of president at White Gold Corp. as the company works through what I see as pivotal period in its development. White Gold’s flagship deposit is one of the highest-grade undeveloped open-pit gold deposits in Canada, sitting within a 305,000-hectare district-scale land package that remains extensively under-explored. Our near-term focus is straightforward: growing the resource through the drill bit, completing a PEA that gives the market a clearer sense of the project’s economics, and advancing the environmental baseline studies that are a necessary precursor to any future permitting and production decision,” said Donovan Pollitt, president of White Gold.

“I am also excited to be working alongside Dylan Langille, our VP Exploration, whose track record of discovery at Great Bear Resources — one of Canada’s most celebrated recent exploration success stories — speaks for itself. The macro environment for gold is supportive, federal infrastructure investment in Canada’s north is building, and the broader White Gold District is attracting increasing attention. There is a lot of work ahead, and I look forward to contributing alongside David, Shawn Ryan, Dylan, and the rest of the team,” added Pollitt.

Donovan Pollitt holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Mining Engineering from the University of Toronto, an MBA from the MIT Sloan School of Management, and holds both a Professional Engineer designation in Ontario and is a CFA Charterholder. Most recently prior to joining White Gold, Pollitt served as president of Pollitt Mining, a management consultancy firm providing services to mining companies ranging from mine production optimization to capital markets strategy, as well as advisory services to buy-side institutional investors and private equity groups. Previously, Pollitt served as president and chief executive officer of Wesdome Gold Mines. During his approximately ten-year tenure at Wesdome, Pollitt was responsible for mine permitting, the operation of three gold mines, and raising significant amounts of capital. Prior to his role as president and CEO, he served as vice president, Corporate Development at Wesdome.

White Gold owns a portfolio of 15,364 quartz claims across 21 properties representing approximately 40 percent of the Yukon’s emerging White Gold District. The company’s flagship White Gold project hosts four near-surface gold deposits. Regional exploration work has also produced several other new discoveries and prospective targets on the Company’s claim packages.
