White Knight Resources Ltd.: Drilling Program Completed at Gold Pick Project, Nevada

Posted on: Wednesday, 15 February 2006, 15:00 CST

White Knight Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:WKR) -

White Knight Resources Ltd. (the "Company") announces results from the second half of the 2005 drilling program at its wholly owned Gold Pick Project, Nevada. The program consisted of 19 reverse-circulation drill holes for a total of 3,554 metres (11,700 ft). Assay results from the second half of the program (9 holes totaling 1,731 metres/5,680 feet) are shown in the following table.

Holes GPQ-11 and GPQ-12 were drilled along the northeast extension of the feeder fault for the gold mineralization in Gold Pick East. Mineralization remains open in this direction. Hole GPQ-16 was a 30 metre (100 ft) offset to the south of hole GPQ-6, which contained 9.1 metres (30 ft) grading 2.11 g/t (0.062 opt) gold including 1.5 metres (5 ft) grading 7.88 g/t (0.23 opt) gold. Hole 16 established the width and continuity of the southwest extension of the feeder zone, more than 180 metres (600 ft) southwest of the resource boundary. The fence of barren holes drilled along the haul road west of holes GPQ-6 and 16 indicates that the mineralized zone extends to the south of the road, where new road construction will be required for further drilling.

This drill program was designed to expand the known gold mineralization at Gold Pick beyond the designed pit limits. It achieved that objective and, as a consequence, the Company plans a 25-hole drilling program for the 2006 field season. A three-dimensional computer model will be used to assist in exploration drill hole targeting.

Quality Control

The Company employs a Quality Control program consisting of re-assaying of both mineralized ( greater than 0.010 oz/ton gold) and randomly selected coarse reject samples, insertion of coarse standard samples, and assaying of both random and mineralized duplicate drill samples though an umpire laboratory (BSI Inspectorate of Sparks, NV). Drill-cuttings samples for holes GPQ 11-17 were bagged, sealed and shipped directly to American Assay Laboratories in Sparks, Nevada for preparation and analysis. Hole GPQ-19 was assayed by BSi Inspectorate with check assays performed by ALS Chemex. All samples were analyzed for gold and silver by fire-assay technique.
