TDG GOLD CORP.’S FIRST DRILL RESULTS AT SHASTA REPORT UP TO 25 G/T GOLD AND >100 G/T SILVER
White Rock, British Columbia, November 29, 2021. TDG Gold Corp. (TSXV: TDG) (the “Company” or “TDG”) is
very pleased to announce the first drill results of its 2021 Shasta diamond drill campaign from holes SH21-004
and SH21 -005. These holes are located over 50 metres (“m”) south of historical underground workings and
provide the first drill section and n ew samples of in -situ mineralization. These results have been received
directly from SGS Canada Inc. (“SGS”) and are the first preliminary 2021 drill results released for TDG’s Shasta
project which is located in the Toodoggone district of north -central B.C . The results are subject to further
quality assurance and quality control assessment, and several over limit re -assays are pending for gold (>10
grams per tonne “g/t”) and silver (>100 g /t) as shown below. The highest grade gold (“Au”) and silver (“Ag”)
assay intervals are shown in Table 1 below. The assay results reported either side of the high grade gold and
silver intercepts are indicative of halo style mineralization at Shasta (see Table 2) and which has been
demonstrated to exist in epithermal gold and silver deposits in the Toodoggone district.

These two holes are HQ size drill core and are located over 50 metres south of the underground workings in
the Shasta Creek Zone (Figure 1). SH21-004 was drilled to a depth of 130 m and SH21 -005 was drilled to a
depth of 127 m. The mineralization comprises composite quartz-carbonate veins of varying thickness for ming
stockwork, with zones of milled brecciated wall rock. Alteration is locally intense silicification with potassic
and/or chloritic alteration containing an assemblage of disseminated pyrite, minor chalcopyrite, visible silver
sulphides (acanthite) and potentially sulfosalts of silver. Sections of the breccia body have narrow width ~10
cm quartz veins where mineralization is clearly visible (see Picture 1).
Given the overall zone of mineralization varies in width from 25 m to 50 m and the mineralization is distributed
throughout, there is no clear definition of true width per drill sample interval. However current lithological

interpretation on section suggests hole SH21 -004 drill intersection cuts approximately 90+ % of true
mineralized width while hole SH21 -005 cuts approximately 75+ % of true mineralized width. Core recovery
through these intersections is over 94 %.

Picture 1. Shasta drillhole SH21-004 at 69.9 m depth quartz-carbonate vein
with acanthite, pyrite and native silver.
The drill strategy at Shasta from the outset was to demonstrate continuous high grade gold and silver south of
the old mine workings and show lower grade gold silver halos occur adjacent to the high grade intervals. The
preliminary results shaded in Table 2 illustrate mineralization exists within the mineralized zone outside the
high grade intervals. With in the data presented several intervals of core not sampled are still undergoing
analysis. Preliminary results are also still pending for SH21-004 from 120.5 to 130.0 m (end of hole), and SH21-
005 from 101.5 m to 127.0 m (end of hole).

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 m inserted certified reference materials, blanks and duplicates
(pulp and coarse) into the sampling sequence. Drill core was split in half (1/2 HQ core) and placed in zip -tied
polyurethane bags, then in security -sealed rice bags before being delivered dire ctly 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.
In SH21 -004, Au was tested by fire assay with ICP -OES finish on a 50 -gram nominal sample (method
GE_FAI50V5). Method GE_FAI50V5 (exploration geochemistry) has an upper detection limit of 10,000 ppb, and
samples over 10,000 ppb (10 g/t) will be re -analyzed using a concentration appropriate method. In SH21 -005,
Au was tested by fire assay with ICP-OES finish on a 50-gram nominal sample (method GO_FAI50V10). Method
FAI50V10 (ore grade analysis) has an upper detection limit of 100 ppm (100 g/t). Ag (in all cases) 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”), 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 b etween 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
