“Mister Epstein Said It Was White Gold” is an improvisation played by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, on January 7, 1969, during the “Get Back” sessions.

From Drugs, Divorce and a Slipping Image – The Complete, Unauthorized Story of The Beatles’ ‘Get Back’ Sessions by Doug Sulpy:

Paul then begins a brief, simple blues-based improvisation (“Mr. Epstein Said It Was White Gold”), borrowing a few lines from George’s on-going conversation. Ringo harmonizes at one point, and Paul vocalizes the sound of a slide guitar
