White Pine Provides Yukon Exploration Update

White Pine Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:WPR) ("White Pine") is pleased to
announce the results to date from its Phase I exploration program on its Money
and Tender properties located in the White Gold District, Yukon Territory.


Money Property

The Money Property consists of 33,125 hectares (which includes an additional
2,625 hectares staked as explained below) along a section of the Sixty Mile
River, an historic placer drainage approximately 50 kilometres south of Dawson
City, Yukon Territory.


A first pass 3,696 sample reconnaissance ridge and spur soil geochemical survey
over the Money Property returned encouraging gold anomalies. The northwest
target area on the Money Property reported 11 soil samples of greater than 30.0
parts per billion gold ("ppb Au"), with the highest being 253.4 ppb Au.
Subsequently, White Pine staked an additional 144 claims (2,625 hectares)
contiguous to this anomaly and completed an additional 988 ridge and spur soil
samples. Two parallel north-south lines of soils 1,000 metres apart, over a
total soil line of (a) 500 meters and (b) 250 meters at 50 meter stations
returned the highest contiguous gold in soil results to date:




  (a) Soil line returned 10 contiguous anomalous gold values of greater than
      10.0 ppb Au, with the highest being 59.8 ppb Au and 84.4 ppb Au;      
                                                                            
  (b) Soil line parallel to the east returned 5 contiguous anomalous gold   
      values of which 4 samples returned values greater than 48.0 ppb Au,   
      with the highest being 155.9 ppb Au.                                  



The south target area of the Money Property returned 4 soil samples of greater
than 40.0 ppb Au, with the highest being 475.1 ppb Au.


At the northwest target area of the Money Property, a follow up program
consisting of a 1,620 sample grid soil geochemical survey, in conjunction with a
trenching program over the first pass soil anomalies, is expected to be
completed in the near future. Soil samples will be collected at 50 metre
stations on soil lines spaced 100 metres apart on the 3,500 metre by 2,250 metre
soil grid.


An airborne high resolution aeromagnetic and radiometric survey with 100 metre
line-spacing and a stream sediment sampling program have been completed on the
Money Property. Complete results are pending.


Tender Property

The Tender Property consists of 6,800 hectares and is contiguous to the south
border of Kinross Gold Corp.'s J.P. Ross Property.


A first pass 1,504 sample reconnaissance ridge and spur soil geochemical survey
on the Tender Property returned encouraging gold anomalies of 20 soil samples of
greater than 10.0 ppb Au, with the highest being 77.3 ppb Au, warranting further
follow up soil work.


An airborne high resolution aeromagnetic and radiometric survey with 100 metre
line-spacing is currently underway and a stream sediment sampling program has
been completed on the Tender Property. Complete results are pending.


Upon compilation and interpretation of all exploration data from its Phase I
exploration program on its Money and Tender properties, White Pine will identify
drill targets for its Phase II exploration program in 2012.
