TDG GOLD CORP. CONTINUES TO INTERSECT SIGNIFICANT THICKNESSES OF MINERALIZATION AT ITS
SHASTA GOLD-SILVER PROJECT, TOODOGGONE DISTRICT, B.C.
White Rock, British Columbia, November 03, 2021. TDG Gold Corp. (TSXV: TDG) (the “Company” or
“TDG”) is pleased to provide a second update on the ongoing resource definition drilling underway at its
Shasta gold -silver project, located in the ‘ Toodoggone Production Corridor ’ of north -central British
Columbia.
Following the exploration update provided on September 28, 2021, wherein TDG reported intercepts of
up to 70 metres (“m”) of quartz breccia and stockwork veining at its Shasta project, the ongoing drill
program continues to intersect significant thicknesses of quartz breccia and stockwork -composite style
veining, mineralogically comparable to historically mined material. These intercepts support the
geological model prepared by Moose Mountain Technical Services (“Moose Mountain”) that is being used
to direct the drill campaign; however, the quartz veining/stockworking appears to continue deeper than
predicted and well below the pit outline used to limit the geologic potential estimate anno unced May 5,
2021. Assay results are pending, with assay laboratories taking significantly longer than typical to process
submitted samples due to significant backlogs. First drill core assays are expected by the end of 2021, and
final assays in the first quarter of 2022. It is therefore too early to confirm if the deeper mineralization
encountered will contribute to the pit-constrained mineral resource estimate being prepared by Moose
Mountain and targeted for publication by TDG by the end of the first quarter of 2022.
2021 Drilling & Exploration Update
Diamond drill hole (“DDH”) SH21-027 (Figures 1-2) was drilled to test mineralogical continuity and verify
historical assay grades of adjacent historical drill holes in preparation for resource modelling. DDH SH21-
027 intersected the Shasta fault at depth of 34.4 m and, once past the fault, encountered broad zones of
silicified volcaniclastics with stockwork quartz veining, variable intensity potass ic alteration with a
sulphide assemblage comprised of pyrite and acanthite (a silver-rich mineral, Ag2S; see Figures 3-5).
For comparison, historical DDH SH04-023 intersected mineralization over a 20.3 m interval* (from 14.7
m) grading 1.98 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) and 12.5 g/t silver (“Ag”). This included an interval
near surface of 2.7 m (from 14.7 m) grading 9.75 g/t Au and 5.3 g/t Ag. In addition, historical DDH SH04-
020 intersected mineralization over a 26.8 m interval* (from 18.0 m) grading 0.69 g/t Au and 28.8 g/t Ag.
* Note 1: drill holes and/or composite intervals with an asterisk denote that assay results are recorded
fro m written reports and government filed assessment reports. Laboratory certificates in these examples
have not yet been found in historical data search. Some records also show that samples were assayed at
the Baker Mine Site Laboratory, where no individual assay certificates are recorded.

TDG has also received the first processed data from a 2021 LiDAR (“Light Detection and Ranging”) and
Orthophoto survey that was flown over TDG’s Baker-Shasta mining leases and mineral claims. The LiDAR
survey was conducted by McElhanney Ltd. and provides high-resolution topographic data (2.5 points per
square metre) for engineering and resource modelling in addition to high -resolution orthophoto images
(approximately 50cm pixel resolution) to enhance project planning and validate historical geological and
geophysical work. Approximately 4 square -kilometres of survey data over the Shasta mine area (4 x 1
sq.km tiles) has been received and integrated into the Baker-Shasta geospatial database.
Next Steps
TDG expects its drill program at Shasta to be completed by early December 2021, with first assay results
expected in late 2021. TDG’s Baker Camp has been fully winterized to enable continuation of exploration
at its Toodoggone projects later into 2021 and to recommence exploration activities earlier in 2022 than
would be otherwise possible.
Cautionary Statements
The economic significance of interpreted mineralization must be treated with caution as assay results are
still pending. In some intersections, the mineralization appears to extend below the pit used to constrain
the estimate of geologic potential for the Shasta area (see news release dated May 5, 2021). While deeper
mineralization is geologically significant, there is no guarantee that it would fall within a pit -constrained
NI 43 -101 mineral resource estimate (being prepared for TDG by Moose Mountain; targeted for
publication at the end of Q1/22).

British Columbia, Canada, with over 23,000 hectares of brownfield and greenfield exploration
opportunities under direct ownership or earn -in ag reement. TDG’s flagship projects are the former
producing, high-grade gold-silver Shasta, Baker and Mets mines, which are all road accessible, produced
intermittently between 1981 -2012, and have over 65,000 m of historical drilling. In 2021, TDG has
advanced the projects through compilation of historical data, new geological mapping, geochemical and
geophysical surveys, and, for Shasta, drill testing of the known mineralization occurrences and their
extensions. The Company has entered into a binding agreeme nt to acquire the Nueva Esperanza silver -
gold advanced exploration and development project located in the Maricunga Belt of northern Chile,
