TDG Mobilizes to Advance District-Scale Copper-Gold Exploration
Northwest of Aurora Complex, Toodoggone
Vancouver, British Columbia – June 30, 2026 – TDG Gold Corp. (“TDG” or the “Company”) (TSXV:
TDG | OTCQX: TDGGF) is pleased to announce a major C$2.2 million regional exploration program
focused northwest of the recently discovered Aurora Complex. The program will systematically
evaluate a 15 km -long structural corridor northwest of the Aurora Complex that hosts numerous
untested copper-gold and epithermal gold-silver targets identified through historical exploration and
TDG's recent geological compilation.
The 2026 program will consist of approximately 55 line -kilometres of direct -current induced
polarization (“DCIP”) geophysics and a property -wide, systematic, grid -based 2,000 -sample
regional soil geochemical survey. The program is designed to methodically evaluate a highly
prospective but historically underexplored structural corridor extending 15 kilometres northwest of
the Aurora Complex and north of TDG’s existing Shasta epithermal gold-silver mineral resource. This
area has the potential to host both near-surface epithermal gold-silver targets and Aurora Complex-
style copper-gold targets within 300-400 metres of surface. The program will also include work in the
immediate Shasta area, where TDG will evaluate opportunities to expand mineralization at depth and
in the vicinity of the existing mineral resource.
The objective of the 2026 program is to collect the technical information required to design capital-
efficient drill programs for the 2027 exploration season. Mobilization for the 2026 work is underway,
with camp opening activities commenced and geophysical crews expected on site during the second
week of July. The program is expected to continue throughout the summer field season.
Fletcher Morgan, TDG’s CEO, comments: “TDG controls a continuous 15 km -long prospective
corridor adjacent to a recent, significant new copper-gold discovery in an established mining district
with existing infrastructure. TDG now has two parallel value drivers in the Toodoggone: searching for
additional Aurora-style copper-gold systems, while advancing our existing gold-silver Shasta project
(located adjacent to the Aurora Complex) towards a potential development decision. ”
Strategic Rationale and Purpose of the Program
Since 2022, TDG has progressively assembled geological, geochemical and geophysical datasets
that have consistently strengthened its interpretation of a northwest- trending structural corridor
prospective for copper-gold porphyry and epithermal mineralizati on. The 2025 Aurora discovery at
the southeastern end of this corridor provides additional support for the Company's interpretation
that systematic evaluation of the remaining corridor is warranted.
The area under investigation forms part of a fertile, approximately 15 -kilometre structural corridor
that includes a series of target areas extending northwest from the Aurora Complex through the
broader Shasta-Newberry trend and beyond.
The 2026 program will combine DCIP geophysics and grid-based B-horizon soil sampling to evaluate
these targets with a consistent, district- scale approach. The DCIP survey will help TDG investigate
beneath surface cover for potential sulphide minerals, alteration zones, silicified rocks and buried
structures, while the soil program will provide systematic geochemical coverage across areas that
have only been intermittently and sporadically explored.

Once completed, the new data will be integrated with existing mapping, sampling and geophysical
datasets to refine TDG’s target ranking matrix and support the design of capital -efficient drill
programs for 2027.
Paul Geddes, TDG’s SVP Business Development & Strategy , comments: “The Aurora discovery
highlighted the effectiveness of applying modern exploration techniques at a district scale in the
Toodoggone. Similar geological conditions to those at Aurora extend northwest across a large portion
of TDG's 100% owned land package that have never been systematically evaluated using modern
exploration techniques . We believe that systematic geophysical and geochemical surveys will
provide the highest return on exploration capital by improving future drill targeting across the corridor.
Our objective this season is to prioritize the highest-quality drill targets for 2027. ”
Summary of Target Areas and Exploration Rationale (Figure 1)
The current primary targets scheduled for systematic evaluation during the 2026 field season are
summarized below.
Priority Target Rationale
Primary Shasta Potential extensions to existing mineralization
identified
Primary Trident Highest-ranked porphyry/epithermal target
thus far, based on geochemistry, geophysics
and geology
Primary North Quartz Historic drilling under -assayed potential
porphyry target with supporting geochemistry
and geophysics
Primary Black Gossan Large untested magnetic anomaly , surface
alteration, with limited soil sampling
Primary Newberry Undrilled multi-element soil and rock anomaly
directly on trend with Shasta
Pipeline South Shasta Emerging targets from 2025 studies
Shasta
Shasta is TDG’s existing mineral resource area located ~800 metres west of the Aurora Complex and
remains an important target for potential expansion. The 2026 program will evaluate opportunities to
extend mineralization at depth and in the immediate vicinity of the current resource, where additional
geological, geochemical and geophysical work may help refine future drill targeting. This work is
intended to support the design of efficient 2027 drill programs focused on resource growth and
nearby extensions.
Trident
Trident is TDG’s highest- ranked target outside Shasta and is interpreted as a possible epithermal
gold-silver and/or porphyry-style copper-gold target. It is located along the structural corridor and is
marked by a visible gossan, altered rocks, a magnetic feature and encouraging copper-molybdenum-
bismuth-tellurium geochemistry. The 2026 work is designed to determine whether these surface
indications connect to a larger mineralized system below surface.

North Quartz
North Quartz is a porphyry -epithermal target with historical evidence of quartz-pyrite veining and a
broad multi-metal soil anomaly. Historical drilling intersected widespread veining and alteration, but
only a limited amount of the historical core was assayed, meaning the target remains under -
evaluated. The planned surveys are expected to help determine whether North Quartz represents a
larger system than previously tested.
Black Gossan
Black Gossan is a structurally controlled gossan where historical drilling encountered porphyry-style
alteration and intrusive rocks. The target is associated with a roughly 500 metre by 500 metre
magnetic anomaly, much of which remains untested. TDG believes additional geophysics and soil
sampling may help determine whether Blac k Gossan is the exposed edge of a larger concealed
hydrothermal system.
Newberry
Newberry is an undrilled target with overlapping gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc and pathfinder
element anomalies. Historical mapping and geophysics suggest the possibility of an intrusive body
or silicified zone beneath the target area. TDG views Newberry as a potential Shasta -style or
polymetallic epithermal target that requires systematic modern follow-up.
South Shasta and Pipeline Targets
South Shasta is a regional pipeline target located south of the Shasta resource along the broader
Baker-Shasta-Newberry trend. It is less advanced than targets such as Trident, Black Gossan and
Newberry, but sits within the same prospective district- scale corridor. The 2026 surveys will help
determine whether South Shasta contains enough coincident geological, geochemical and
geophysical evidence to justify follow-up work.
Additional earlier-stage pipeline targets including Clancey, Baker Deeps, Dave Price and Drybrough
will receive first-pass evaluation where appropriate as part of the broader regional survey.
Quality Assurance / Quality Control
Soil samples will be collected from the B-horizon by trained field crews using standardized sampling
procedures. Samples will be submitted to an accredited analytical laboratory for multi -element
geochemical analysis. TDG wills implement appropriate QA/QC protocols, including the insertion of
certified reference materials, blanks and duplicates, where applicable.

Cautionary Note
The exploration targets described in this news release are conceptual in nature. There has been
insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource in the areas being targeted by the 2026 regional
program, other than the existing Shasta resource area, and it is uncertain whether further exploration
will result in the discovery or expansion of mineral resources. References to nearby deposits,
discoveries, mineralized systems, Aurora Complex-style targets, or Shasta-style targets are
provided for geological context only and are not necessarily indicative of mineralization on TDG’s
properties.
