Intercepts West Of Creek Zone At The Shasta Project


WHITE ROCK, BC - TDG Gold Corp. reported results from four diamond drillholes completed in the Creek and JM Zones at the Shasta gold-silver project in the Toodoggone District, B.C. DDH SH21-037 intersected: 26.2 meters ("m") of 1.81 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold and 24 g/t silver; Including, 14.2 m of 3.10 g/t Au and 37 g/t Ag [3.55 g/t AuEq*] from 127.3 m to 141.5 m

The four results are a combination of infill holes to validate historical gold and silver grades to contribute to a NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate targeted for Q2 2022 and as peripheral step-outs to the known Shasta mineralization. SH21-034 and SH21-037 were designed to test continuity of mineralization west of SH21-007 and SH21-008 and demonstrate Au-Ag mineralization in an under-tested northern area of the Shasta system.

SH21-031 was designed as a western step-out of the known Mineralized Target Zone and is further evidence of a ‘mineralized halo' that extends distal from known high-grade mineralized zones within the Shasta system. SH21-032 was drilled to test for mineralization central to the Shasta system between the high-grade Creek Zone to the west and the JM Zone1 to the east. SH21-032 returned a broad intercept of 121.9 m of 0.34 g/t Au and 15 g/t Ag, confirming low-grade Au-Ag between the two high-grade mineralized structures.

The JM Zone is best visualized as the surface trace of the NW-SE striking historical mine workings. Geological modeling of the JM Structure is underway, utilizing oriented core data from 2021 in addition to comprehensive assay and geological logging efforts.

Samples for the Shasta 2021 drill program followed chain of custody between collection, processing and delivery to an SGS laboratory in Burnaby, B.C. The drill cores were delivered to the core shack at TDG's Baker Mine site, and processed by geologists who inserted certified reference materials, blanks and duplicates (pulp and coarse) into the sampling sequence. The 2021 drill core was cut in half (1/2 HQ core) and placed in zip-tied polyurethane bags, then in security-sealed rice bags before being delivered directly from the Baker Mine site, to Bandstra Transportation Systems in Prince George, B.C., and ultimately to the SGS laboratory in Burnaby, B.C.
