TDG GOLD CORP. DRILLS 29.0 METRES OF 1.78 G/T GOLD AND 89 G/T SILVER AT SHASTA CREEK ZONE,
TOODOGGONE, B.C.
White Rock, British Columbia, January 04, 2022. TDG Gold Corp. (TSXV: TDG) (the “Company” or “TDG”) is
pleased to announce the first composite drill results from its 2021 Shasta diamond drill campaign which
include 29.0 metres (“m”) of 1.78 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) with 89 g/t silver (“Ag”) [2.89 g/t
AuEq**] in drillhole SH21-005 and 33.5 m of 1.03 g/t Au with 41 g/t Ag [1.53 g/t AuEq**] in drillhole SH21-
004 - both within the Shasta Creek Zone south of the historical workings at TDG’s Shasta project located in the
Toodoggone District of north-central B.C. Included in this update are the over-limit assay results from drillholes
SH21-004 and SH21 -005 which were unavailable in TDG’s November 2 9, 2021 news release (see here) along
with results fro m drillholes SH21-001, SH21-003 and historical 2007 drillholes re-assayed in 2021 (SH07-001
and SH07 -002). Results have been received directly from SGS Canada Inc. (“SGS”) and whilst SGS has
completed its QA/QC protocols for these results , a comprehensive internal Data Quality Analysis (“DQA”) by
TDG is still underway with subsequent assay results from the Shasta project still pending. Therefore the results
for the purposes of this news release are still considered preliminary.
With the add itional assay information from drillholes SH21 -004, SH21-005 and the 2007 drillholes, cross
section 6,347,280 N ( see Figure 2) was constructed offering a more comprehensive understanding of the
Shasta Fault system, the high -grade pods of mineralization in proximity to the fault, and the ‘halo’ of Au -Ag
mineralization adjacent the high-grade pods . This was previously under-tested by historical exploration and
mining efforts. In addition, the updated over -limit assays from hole s SH21 -004 and SH21 -005 provide true
length-weighted composite grades through mineralized intersections, where Au -Ag grades were previously
underrepresented by the upper limits of prior analysis.
Table 1 presents (below) precious metal concentrations with yellow highlighted values updated from the
November 29, 2021, news release for drillholes SH21-004 and SH21-005.

2021 drillholes are HQ and 2007 drillholes are NQ size drill core s and are located in the Shasta Creek Zone
vicinity (Figure 1). Particulars for drillholes (location, depth, etc.) are presented in Table 2, and mineralization
and geology is described in TDG's November 29, 2021 news release for the Shasta Creek Zone vicinity.

QA/QC
Samples for the Shasta 2021 drill program followed chain of custody between collection, processing and
delivery to a 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 2007 drill core
was split (1/2 NQ 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 SGS laboratory Burnaby, B.C. Core samples were prepared for analysis according to SGS method
PRP89: dry samples to 105°C, crush to 75 % passing 2 mm, split 250 g, pulverize 85 % passing 75 microns.
Samples were analyzed following procedures summarized in Table 4 , where information about methodology
can be found on the SGS Canada Website, in the analytical guide (here).

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 SGS internal QAQC or TDG’s DQA investigations.

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 agreement to acquire the Nueva Esperanza silver -gold advanced exploration and development project
located in the Maricunga Belt of northern Chile, subject to closing conditions being satisfied. TDG currently has
78,361,085 common shares issued and outstanding.
