TDG GOLD CORP. OUTLINES 800 METRES BY 1500 METRES EXPLORATION TARGET AREA AT THE
FORMER PRODUCING GOLD-SILVER SHASTA MINE
White Rock, British Columbia, December 16, 2020. TDG Gold Corp. (formerly, Kismet Resources Corp.)
(TSXV: KSMT.P) (the “Company” or “TDG”) is pleased provide the following information regarding its
newly acquired Baker-Shasta gold-silver project located in the Toodoggone Region of northern B.C.
Further to TDG’s news release of December 1 1, 2020, TDG has completed the acquisition of the
Toodoggone assets of Talisker Resources Ltd. consisting of the Baker and Shasta Mines, and the Mets and
Bot properties. TDG will begin trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “TDG” on December
17th, 2020. TDG is privileged to be working in the traditional territories of the Kwadacha, Tsay Keh Dene,
Takla and Tahltan First Nations, and looks forward to open consultation and respectful dialogue regarding
TDG’s proposed mineral exploration programs.
The Baker and Shasta Mine s are former producing gold and silver operations accessible by road 4 30 km
northwest of Prince George, via Mackenzie and the Omineca Resource access route past Centerra Gold
Inc.’s Kemess Copper Gold Mine (Figure 1).

The Baker and Shasta Mines operated on an intermittent basis in the period 1980 until 2012, focusing on
the high-grade veins and structures, both through underground and small-scale open pit operations. In
the period 1981-1983 and 1996-1997, 81,878 tonnes of Baker ore were milled recovering 765,565 ounces
silver and 41,281 ounces gold. Production from the Shasta Mine in the years 1989 -1991 an d 2000,
recovered 1,061,577 ounces silver and 19,381 ounces gold milled from 131,113 tonnes ore (Note 1).
TDG has been undertaking a detailed compilation of historic data from both Baker and Shasta mine sites
and is pleased to present in this news release the first update of the Shasta area review and data analysis.
The Shasta exploration target covers an area approximately 800 metres by 1500 metres. Previous
exploration at Shasta identified at least twelve mineralized zones of which the historic workings are
contained within two structures, the JM and Creek Zones shown in Figure 2 . Underground workings at
Shasta extend 300 metres along strike at each of the JM and Creek Zones, with depths up to 100 metres
from surface. Total tonnage extracted from underground and pits, including ore and waste is estimated
at 420,000 tonnes (Note 2).

TDG has compiled 28,751 metres of drilling from 325 historic diamond drill holes at Shasta. Sample assays
for gold and silver are reported from 10,716 metres of drilling of which 48% grade over 0.25 grams per
tonne (“gpt”) gold equivalent (gold to silver ratio of 1: 78). Gold-silver mineralization is hosted in quart z
veins, quartz-carbonate stockworks, breccias and fault zones.
Shown below in Figure 3 a nd Table 1 are reported drill hole assay results within the Shasta exploration
area. The data is from independent lab oratories, with recorded assay certificates (Note 3) . Additional
information is included in TDG’s updated corporate presentation available on the TDG website
(www.tdggold.com).

Historic production at Shasta targeted higher grades in the JM and Creek Zones. The drill hole assay results
demonstrate that additional gold and silver mineralization, described as “halo mineralization” lies outside
the higher grade zones within the hangingwall and footwall to the vein structures.
TDG proposes to undertake exploration in 2021 that will test for multiple gold and silver vein extensions
and the associated halo mineralization in the vein hanging wall and footwall within the known 800
metres by 1500 metres exploration target area.
