TDG GOLD CORP . PUBLISHES THIRD SET OF HISTORICAL LONGITUDINAL AND CROSS SECTIONS FROM
SHASTA EXPLORATION AREA DEMONSTRATING CONTINUATION OF MINERALIZATION ALONG STRIKE
EXTENDING TO 1.5 KILOMETRES.
White Rock, British Columbia, February 10, 2021. TDG Gold Corp (TSXV: TDG) (the “Company” or “TDG”)
is pleased to provide a third set of longitudinal sections and cross sections from its interpretation work of
the historical drilling and exploration undertaken on the former producing high -grade gold and silver
Shasta Mine located in the Toodoggone Region of north-central British Columbia. The sections presented
in this news release cover the Upper Creek and North Zones (see Figure 1). TDG published the zone map
of the Shasta Exploration Area within its news release of December 16, 2020 available via the TDG Gold
website.
Upper Creek Zone
The Upper Creek Zone is defined as the area between the northern limit of underground workings and
mineralization up to 350 metres (“m”) due north. The longitudinal sections show that the first 175 m is a
continuation of the mineralization seen at the Creek Zone, plunging gently to the north. The mineralization
is then truncated and downthrown along a fault and has been encountered at depth in nine holes drilled
between 1987 and 1990 which intercepted mineralized quartz breccia at an approximate depth of 220 m
to 300 m.
An interval in hole DD90-02 (270 m northwest of the historical workings) starting at 300.5 m returned 10.0
m at 1.42 grams per tonne (“gpt”) gold and 31.57 gpt silver. This appears to represent a continuation of
the Creek Zone and is open at depth and along strike.
The continuation of the mineralization and the gentle plunge strengthen the interpretation that the ore
forming events are stratigraphically constrained. These historical results suggest potential for continued
vein occurrences along strike that lie under a cap of younger, unmineralized volcaniclastic sediments. The
strike is consistent with regional northwest to southeast trends.
North Zone
The North Zone is a separate vein system that occurs 750 m northeast of the main Creek and JM Zones
and follows the same regional northwest to southeast trend. It was initially discovered in 1989 through
the drilling of eight holes over a strike length of 300 m and is open along strike. All drilling was shallow
with a maximum hole length of 100 m.
North Zone drill results are highlighted by an interval in hole DD 89-34 that returned 25.9 m at 2.31 gpt
gold and 30.92 gpt silver from a down hole depth of 26.90 m to 52.80 m.
Silver Reef Zone
The Silver Reef Zone is a mineral showing (MinFile Number 094E 145) located approximately one
kilometre southeast of the Shasta Mine. The showing consists of quartz vein stockwork and silicified zones
over an area of 200 m. The structure follows the regional trend along a northwest to southeast strike and
could be an extension of the JM veins which lie 225 m to the northwest which is supported by historical
anomalous soil sample results.
Silver Reef was first discovered in the early 1980s but has seen little work since. An assessment report (AR
Number 9886, 1981) reports samples collected from a zone of altered volcanic rocks returned grades of
1.028 gpt silver and 0.27 gpt gold. TDG plans on mapping and sampling this zone in 2021.

The orientation and location of the Silver Reef outcrop indicates gold-silver mineralization in the Shasta
Exploration Area extends a total of 1.5 kilometres from north to south.

Shasta Exploration Area Longitudinal Sections for Creek/Upper Creek and North Zones
Historical drilling and assay results show gold-silver mineralization continues to the north of the existing
surface and underground Creek zone mine workings and remains open to the north, known as the Upper
Creek Zone. Sections indicate that the Creek Zone mineralization continues to have gentle plunge to the
north before being cut off by a fault and downthrown on the northern block. Significant sections of core
were not sampled. The North Zone is an underexplored target zone on the Shasta project; historic drilling
has highlighted gold-silver mineralization near-surface.

over 23,000 hectares of brownfield and greenfield exploration opportunities under direct ownership or
earn-in agreement. TDG’s key projects are the former producing, high -grade gold and silver Shasta and
Baker Mines which are both road accessible, produced intermittently between 1979-2012, and have over
50,000 meters of historical drilling. In 2021, TDG proposes to advance the projects through compilation of
historical data, new ge ological mapping, geochemical and geophysical surveys, and drill testing of the
known mineralization occurrences and their extensions.
