WHITE ROCK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 28, 2022 / TDG Gold Corp. (TSXV:TDG) (the "Company" or "TDG") is pleased to report results from four diamond drillholes (Figure 1) completed in the Creek and JM Zones at TDG's 100% owned, former producing Shasta gold-silver ("Au-Ag") project in the Toodoggone District, B.C.

DDH SH21-037 intersected: 26.2 metres ("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 presented in this news release 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 (Figure 2) were designed to test continuity of mineralization west of SH21-007 and SH21-008 (see TDG News Release January 11, 2022) and demonstrate Au-Ag mineralization in an under-tested northern area of the Shasta system (Table 1).

SH21-031 (Figure 3) 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 (See TDG News Release February 22, 2022). SH21-032 (Figure 3) 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 (Figure 1). 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 (Image 1).

¹The JM Zone is best visualized as the surface trace of the NW-SE striking historical mine workings. Geological modelling of the JM Structure is underway, utilizing oriented core data from 2021 in addition to comprehensive assay and geological logging efforts.

Other key intercepts in the 2021 drilling are summarised in Table 1. Drill results for remaining 2021 drillholes are awaiting completion of final assays.

All 2021 drillholes were HQ sized drill core, and historical core are NQ/BQ core size. Particulars for 2021 drillholes (location, depth, etc.) are presented in Table 2. Assay results were received from SGS Labs Canada ("SGS"). Internal QA/QC review by TDG, working with Moose Mountain Technical Services ("MMTS"), is ongoing and therefore results are still considered preliminary.

QA/QC

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. Samples were prepared and analyzed following procedures summarized in Table 3, where information about methodology can be found on the SGS Canada Website, in the analytical guide (here).

Table 3. Au and Ag Analytical Methods.

Quality assurance and control ("QAQC") is maintained internally at the lab through rigorous use of internal certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates. An additional QAQC program was administered by TDG Gold through the use of certified reference materials ("CRMs"), duplicate samples and blank samples that were blindly inserted into the sample batch. If a QAQC sample returns an unacceptable value an investigation into the results is triggered and when deemed necessary, the samples that were tested in the batch with the failed QAQC sample are re-tested. For the purposes of this press release, results are ‘preliminary' and thus have not undergone TDG's comprehensive QAQC investigations.
