TDG GOLD CORP. SAMPLES UP TO 8.22 G/T GOLD AT SHASTA CREEK ZONE PIT, TOODOGGONE, B.C.
White Rock, British Columbia, December 16, 2021. TDG Gold Corp. (TSXV: TDG) (the “Company” or “TDG”) is
pleased to report the preliminary assay results from sampling of its former producing Shasta Creek Zone Pit,
located at the southeast corner of the Baker-Shasta project, Toodoggone, B.C.
Assay results from chip samples within the exposed Creek Zone Pit of the Shasta deposit further demonst rate
that the mineralized halo surround ing higher grade pods of quartz carbonate breccia was left unmined. Chip
samples were taken along approximately 37 metres (“m”) of the stockwork body at regular intervals . The
samples are not representative of true width of the breccia body. Chip sample results include up to 8.22 grams
per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) with 2 g/t silver (“Ag”), and 4.23 g/t Au with 123 g/t Ag - see Table 1 below for
chip sample highlights.

historical workings marked on the map.

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 samples were collected directly by TDG geologists or geological
contractors and taken to the core shac k at TDG’s Baker Mine site. Geological material was then processed by
geologists who inserted certified reference materials into the sampling sequence (when/where appropriate).
Samples were 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 , or delivered from sou rce to destination directly by TDG staff or contractors .
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.
Gold was tested by fire assay with ICP-OES finish on a 50-gram nominal sample (method GE_FAI30V5). Method
GE_FAI50V10 (ore grade geochemistry) has an upper detection limit of 100 ppm (100 g/t). Silver was tested by
digesting at least 0.5 g sample in multi- acid (four acid) followed by an ICP -OES finish (method GE_ICP40Q12).
Method GE_ICP40Q12 has an upper detection limit of Ag of 100 ppm (100 g/t), and any overlimit samples are
being subsequently run with method GE_ICM40Q12 that has an upper detection of 0.1 % (1,000 g/t).
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”) 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 news release, results are ‘ preliminary’ and despite having undergone rigorous internal SGS
QAQC (returning ‘final’ results), TDG has not completed its DQA investigations at this time.
