The White Gold showing is exposed along a roadcut on the south side of the Tulameen River, across from the mouth of McGee Creek and 13.5 kilometres west-southwest of the town of Tulameen.

Quartz-pyrite veins, up to 4 centimetres wide, occupy near-vertical shears in granodiorite of the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous Eagle Plutonic Complex. The showing lies about 500 metres southwest of the contact with schists and marbles of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group. A sample from one of the veins analysed 0.021 gram per tonne gold, 27.3 grams per tonne silver and 0.4525 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 17324, page 5).

The showing was sampled by Blast Resources Ltd. in 1987.
