The 2020 drill program, which was initiated to enhance the geologic understanding of the Skukum Creek deposit, has successfully achieved its goal and confirmed the high-grade tenor and thickness potential of the gold mineralization in the mid-level sections of the Skukum Creek deposit. Furthermore, the drill results provide a high priority target for the planned 2021 drill campaign.Drill hole SC20-003 intersected 6.3 metres (5.8 metres true width) grading 11.2 g/t Au and 300 g/t Ag, including 1.3 metres of 30.3 g/t Au and 837 g/t Ag, in the Rainbow Zone of the Skukum Creek deposit (Table 1 and Figure 1). \"We are very pleased with our 2020 drill program and the success our exploration team had in identifying thicker zones of mineralization and confirming the high-grade gold mineralization in the Skukum Creek deposit,\" stated Kevin Weston, CEO of Whitehorse Gold. \"The results provide valuable, strategic information to be used in the planning of our 2021 drill program on the Project.\" Drill hole SC20-004 intersected a post-mineral dike at the target depth, however, observed alteration and anomalous sulphide mineralization occurring up to 50 metres below the dike are interpreted to indicate that the mineralizing system continues along strike to the north east where it is largely untested (Raca Target).
