TDG Gold Corp. Samples Up To 32.9 g/t And 27.6 g/t Gold at Mets, Toodoggone, B.C.

WHITE ROCK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 20, 2022 / TDG Gold Corp. (TSXV:TDG) (the "Company" or "TDG") is pleased to announce the results of the 2021 exploration program at its former producing high-grade gold Mets Mining Lease located in the road accessible Toodoggone Production Corridor of north-central, B.C. Highlights include grab samples yielding 32.90 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") and 27.61 g/t Au collected from locations of known historical drill collars (Table 1).

TDG's Mets Mining Lease consists of 200 hectares located 23 kilometres ("km") by road from TDG's Baker Mine (Figure 1). A summary of historical exploration work completed at Mets was published by TDG in its news release dated May 19, 2021 (here). TDG has recompiled 7,944 metres ("m") of diamond drilling of the 8,784 m reported to have been drilled historically, along with review of the 2,622 m of historical trenching. Historical drill highlights include DDH MT86-08 which intersected 25.9 m of 9.52 g/t Au and MT86-05 intersecting 46.4 m of 3.57 g/t Au (including 11.8 m of 13.93 g/t Au).

In 2021, TDG completed a ground-based magnetometer survey consisting of 25 line-km that has highlighted several trends (Figure 2), in addition to geological grab sampling over historical collar locations (Figure 3).

Ground Magnetometer Survey Results

Using GEMS Overhauser 19W magnetometer units, a total of 25 line-km of ground-based magnetometer surveys were completed in 2021 on Mets. Magnetic data imagery highlighted several trends, interpreted by Company geologists to coincide with the historically trenched and drilled tested mineralization trend, defined by quartz ± quartz-barite veining, is part of a gold-silver bearing low sulphidation epithermal vein.

Historical trenching and drilling coincide with the A-Zone / Mets Structure. The structure is characterized as a magnetic low lineament in the 2021 magnetic survey. Figure 2 displays the respective historical drill intercepts with respect to the 2021 Total Magnetic Intensity ("MAG TMI").

Grab Sampling Results

Select grab sampling was completed by Company geologists while completing general reconnaissance of the historically producing Mets property. Samples were selected based on the proximity to historical trenches and drillhole collars, targeting the quartz ± quartz-barite veins. Highlights include grab samples yielding 32.90 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") and 27.61 g/t Au.

Methodology

Select Grab Sampling: Data for geological field samples include: mineralogy, texture, alteration, and/or structure, and is located using a Garmin GPS64. Field notes are recorded in a field book and/or tablet computer. A rock hammer is used to separate the sample from its exposure and placed into a polyurethane bag with unique sample tag is place in the respective bag and secured using a zip-tie, and subsequently placed in security-sealed rice bags. The respective samples are then shipped as a batch to a third-party lab.

Magnetometer: The survey was conducted using GSM-19W Overhauser "Walking" magnetometers and a stationary GSM-19T Proton "Base Station" unit. "Walking" magnetometers recorded in situ magnetic field intensity while the "Base Station" recorded diurnal variations in the regional magnetic field during the survey. Positioning data was provided by handheld Garmin GPS64 units which were carried by each instrument operator in the field.

Following the completion of the survey, a set of corrections and Quality Assurance / Quality Control ("QA/QC") procedures were applied to the magnetic data, including diurnal correction, low-pass noise reduction, and individual operator leveling. After this QA/QC process was completed, the data was interpolated using industry-standard Golden Surfer 12 software. After interpolation, high-resolution Total Magnetic Intensity ("TMI") imagery was exported as a georeferenced TIFF image with matching contour shapefile.

QA/QC

Samples were submitted to SGS Canada's ("SGS") laboratory facility in Burnaby, B.C., following a chain of shipping custody from TDG to SGS, for preparation and analysis. The SGS facility is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for gold assays, and all analytical methods include internal quality control materials at set frequencies with established data acceptance criteria. As a result of SGS' rigorous internal QA/QC protocols, TDG did not submit external (blind) QA/QC materials, using a ‘fit for purpose' approach with the analytical data. Samples were analyzed following the procedures summarized in Table 2, where more information about methodology can be found on the SGS website, in the analytical guide (here).
