TDG GOLD CORP. INTERSECTS 16.0 METRES OF 1.84 G/T GOLD EQUIVALENT IN THE CREEK ZONE, SHASTA
PROJECT, TOODOGGONE DISTRICT, B.C.
White Rock, British Columbia, April 12, 2022. TDG Gold Corp. (TSXV: TDG) (the “Company” or “TDG”) is
pleased to report preliminary results from five drillholes from its 2021 Shasta diamond drill program
including 21.0 metres (“m”) of 0.92 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) and 44 g/t silver (“Ag”) [1.47 g/t
AuEq*] from 48.0 m depth in hole SH21-035; 36.0 metres of 0.92 g/t Au and 20 g/t Ag [ 1.17 g/t AuEq*]
from 77.0 m depth in SH21-041; and, 16.0 m of 1.26 g/t Au and 46 g/t Ag [1.84 g/t AuEq*] from 51.5 m
depth in hole SH21-044. All results contained within this n ews release are from holes drilled within the
Creek Zone at TDG’s former producing Shasta project in the Toodoggone District, B.C. (Figure 1).
Key intercepts for diamond drillholes SH21 -035, SH21- 041, SH21 -044, SH21- 046 and SH21-049 are
presented in Table 1 and shown in cross-sections (Figures 2-3). Drill results for remaining 2021 drillholes
are pending analytical results.

*Gold equivalent (AuEq) is used for illustrative purposes, to express the combined value of Au and Ag as a percentage of Au. Calculations are uncut and no
allowances have been made to accommodate potential recovery losses that would occur in a mining scenario. AuEq is calculated using 80:1 silver to gold rat io.
Composite results were built using a 0.1 g/t AuEq cut -off, although there are intervals within the composites below 0.1g/t AuEq .
** Intervals are core-length weighted. True width is estimated between 75 to 95 % of core length, and core recovery is estimated to be > 90 %.
***Calculated composites are truncated to significant 2 digits for Au/AuEq and the nearest whole number for Ag.
SH21-044 and SH21-035 were designed to test the mineralized target zone in periphery and underneath
the historical small-scale workings, in similar concept to SH21-040 and SH21-040B (see TDG News Release
March 29, 2022) and SH21-003 (See TDG News Release January 4, 2022). These holes demonstrate gold
and silver mineralization that remains in -situ peripheral to the historical small -scale workings and
further highlights the potential for continuity of the mineralized target zone at de pth and along
strike, and having a component that remains open to the west .
Mineralization is similar to that described in previous news releases of Shasta preliminary results: intensity
of quartz/carbonate veining and hydrothermal brecciation appears proportionate to proximity to the
Shasta Fault; and an alteration assemblage of strong potassic and subordinate chlorite/sericite alteration
with quartz/carbonate veins containing potassic vein selvages, hosting pyrite and acanthite sulphide
minerals.
All 2021 drillholes were HQ sized drill core, and historical core are NQ/BQ core size. Particulars for 2021
drillholes (location, depth, etc. ) are presented in Table 2. Assay results were received from SGS Labs
Canada (“SGS”). Internal QA/QC review by TDG, working with Moose Mountain Technical Services
(“MMTS”), is ongoing and therefore results are still considered preliminary.

QA/QC
Samples for the Shasta 2021 drill program followed chain of custody between collection, processing and
delivery to an 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 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
the SGS laboratory in Burnaby, B.C. Samples were prepared and analyzed following procedures
summarized in Table 3, 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 sampl e 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, r esults are
‘preliminary’ and thus have not undergone TDG’s comprehensive QAQC investigations.
