TDG GOLD UPDATES MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE FOR SHASTA & TAILINGS, TOODOGGONE

White Rock, British Columbia, January 08, 2025 - TDG Gold Corp. (TSXV: TDG) (the “Company” or “TDG”)

is pleased to announce an updated Mineral Resource Estimate1 (“MRE”) incorporating the results of (1)

its relogging, resampling and assay program of 2007 and 2010 historical diamond drillholes comprising

~3,250 metres (“m”) at the former producing Shasta gold -silver (“Au -Ag”) mine and (2) its 2024 drill

program at the Tailings Storage Facility #1 (“TSF1”) located adjacent to the Baker Mill. The key outcomes

of the updated MRE are improved grades and a significant reduction in the estimated quantity of waste

rock within the conceptual mineral resource limiting pit. An updated technical report will be filed on the

Company's website and SEDAR within 45 calendar days of this disclosure.

Highlights: Updated Mineral Resource Estimate (see Table 1; below for details)

• Indicated Mineral Resource of 515.8 thousand ounces (“koz”) gold equivalent (“AuEq*”) grading

1.35 grams per tonne (“g/t”) AuEq* (see Table 1 below for grades by metal and Table 1 Notes for

AuEq* calculation) contained within 11.9 million metric tonnes (“Mt”).

• 2Inferred Mineral Resource of 505.5 koz AuEq* grading 1.04 g/t AuEq2, contained within 15. 14

Mt and including 12,120 oz AuEq * grading 1.37 g/t AuEq * contained within TSF1 (see Table 1

below for grades by metal and Table 1 Notes for AuEq* calculation).

• Cut-off grade maintained at 0.4 g/t AuEq* cut-off grade (“COG”) for the base case.

• Significant silver contribution (14.2 million ounces (“Moz”) Indicated / 14.3 Moz Inferred )

included in the AuEq* ounces.

• MRE conceptual pit outline extends to within 100 m of the Newberry exploration target zone 3

which has never been drill tested (Figure 1).

• MRE shows continuity and consistency , with an increased COG resulting in a relatively minor

reduction in the pit -constrained AuEq* ounces within the Shasta deposit, while increasing the

grade (Table 1). The MRE for TSF1 is an inaugural estimate.

• Shasta deposit remains open at depth and along strike3 (see TDG news release March 20, 2023).

• MRE does not include any of the Greater Shasta-Newberry3 satellite exploration target zones, or

any of the second Tailings Storage Facility, located adjacent to TSF13 (Figure 2).

Fletcher Morgan, TDG’s CEO, commented: “ The Shasta mineral resource demonstrates continuity and

consistency across the deposit and ~25% of the estimated AuEq* is contributed by silver. There are known

parts of the deposit that merit further HQ drilling, as both infill and larger diameter core have consistently

increased the grade of the areas drilled. However, the greater opportunity is testing for potential

extensions to the mineralized system, particularly the 2.5 kilometre ‘Fisher Zone 3’ extending from Shasta

to the boundary with the Freeport-Amarc JV ground to southeast (Figure 1); and the Newberry exploration

target area3 immediately north of the Shasta MRE, which has never been drill tested.

The calculated 12,100 AuEq* ounces within TSF1 is in line with the historical4 production records at Baker-

Shasta from 1981-2012 and is located within our Baker-Shasta Permitted Mine Area. The definition of an

inaugural Inferred2 MRE at TSF1 represents an opportunity to convert a potential liability into a net asset

by demonstrating a path to reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction.”

2 Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to

them that would enable their classification as Mineral Reserves. However, it is reasonably expected that the majority

of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Measured or Indicated Mineral R esources with continued

exploration and additional data.

*Notes to the MRE table:

1. The Mineral Resource estimate has been prepared by Sue Bird, P.Eng., an independent Qualified Person. The

effective date of the mineral resource estimate is December 29, 2024.

2. Mineral Resources are reported using the 2014 CIM Definition Standards and were estimated in accordance

with the CIM 2019 Best Practices Guidelines, as required by NI43 -101.

3. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no

certainty that all Mineral Resources will be converted into Mineral Reserves.

4. The Mineral Resource has been confined by a “reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction” pit

using the following assumptions, which were estimated from comparable projects:

a. Au price of US$2,250/oz, Ag price of US$25/oz at an exchange rat e of 0.74 US$ per CDN$;

b. a 1.5 % NSR royalty;

c. 93 % metallurgical recovery for Au, based on past TDG test work, historical mill records 4 and

nearby project comparables 6;

d. 86 % recovery for Ag based on nearby project comparables 6 and, while prior MREs assumed

somewhat lower Ag recoveries based on historical mill records 4 and limited past TDG test work ,

test work was not optimized for Ag recoveries. Further, test work at comparable projects indicate

that improvement could be expected ;

e. 99.9 % payable Au; 95.0 % payable Ag; US$7.00/oz Au and US$3.00/oz Ag offsite costs (refining,

transport and insurance);

f. Mining costs of CDN$4.00/tonne mineralized material;

g. Processing Costs of CDN$15/tonne and G&A of CDN$8.00/tonne processed;

h. Pit slopes of 45 degrees.

5. The resulting NSR equation is: NSR (CDN$) = 95.79*Au Grade*0.93 + 0.92*Ag Grade*0.86

6. The resulting AuEq equation is: AuEq = Au + Ag*0.00887

7. The bulk density of the deposit is based on 2021 & 2022 measurements and is assumed to be 2.61 throughout

the deposit and 2.00 for overburden.

8. Numbers may not sum due to rounding.

Overview

The 2024 MRE update was based on the incorporation of ~3,250 m of historical diamond drilling from the

2007 (16 drillholes now included) and 2010 (10 drillholes now included) drill campaigns. These drillholes

were not included in prior MRE calculations as collars could not accurately be validated and/or assay data

was not recovered as part of the acquisition. However, TDG has sinc e: (i) re -logged, re -sampled and

assayed the cores (where a vailable) with modern assaying techniques, and (ii) completed a

comprehensive data validation and ground -truthing to confidently place those collars in 3D space. This

endeavour was one of the ‘low hanging fruit’ objectives from the Shasta MRE forward plan (see TDG news

release May 01, 2023). The result is an increase in grade and decrease in tonnage (Figure 3). Additionally,

metal prices and NSR derived costs have been updated to reflect a higher price environment.

Figure 3 – 2022 vs. 2023 vs. 2024 MRE Visual Comparison.

Note: the 2022, 2023 and 2024 MREs each have their own set of assumptions and modifying factors and

are not directly comparable estimates, but this figure is provided for illustration purposes.

Mineral Resource overview

The Shasta deposit mineral resource database consists of 367 drillholes with 19,896 assay intervals from

1983 through 2022 drilling. This represents 23,936 m of assayed intervals at an average interval of 1.3 m

per assay interval. Approximately 50 % of all assayed interval lengths of core used in the mineralized

domains is comprised of TDG’s modern, HQ diameter, oriented, diamond drill core from 2021 and 2022.

The remaining assay intervals from the mineralized domains are from historical 4,5 drilling. All data used

for the MRE has been validated statistically to show no significant bias, either by twinned drillholes in

2021 or through statistical comparison of historic al4,5 data with TDG drilling using Point Validation.

Historical collar locations have also been validated by field validation of collar locations.

Two mineralized domains were generated based on: (i) the major north-south Shasta fault system as well

as, (ii) the northwest trending, sub-vertical JM zone. The block model has a block size of 5 m x 5 m x 5 m

to correspond to expected selective mining unit, with interpolation of Au and Ag by Inverse Distance

Cubed (“ID3”). The interpolations were limited by the domain boundaries and were clipped to the

overburden surface. Historical mine workings4 were removed from the in-situ mineral MRE.

There are no other known factors or issues that materially affect the MRE other than normal risks faced

by mining projects in the province of British Columbia, Canada, in terms of environmental, permitting,

taxation, socio -economic, marketing, and political factors and additional risk factors as listed in the

“Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information” section below.

Mineral Resource growth potential & Forward Plan

The Shasta Deposit still has many avenues for further improvements, including in -fill drilling to improve

the confidence and continuity and potentially improve grade and/or classification as well as test the zones

of known mineralized extension. Additionally, the Greater Shasta- Newberry project offers potential for

the discovery of new mineralized zones 3 that could increase the existing 2024 MRE. Such potential

endeavours include:

1) ‘Scout’ Drilling. Using a small mobile drill to drill test the Greater Shasta area following up on

historical drilling and exploration that suggest additional proximal zones of mineralization ,

adjacent to the Shasta Deposit (Fisher, Hood, Cody Lee and North Shasta Zones3)

2) Expansion Potential. The Shasta Deposit remains open along the strike and at depth, beyond the

known and defined mineralized zones3. Further diamond drilling could unlock more mineralization

to be incorporated into the Shasta Deposit MRE.

3) ‘Upgrade’ Drilling. From data analysis, replacing historical holes (small diameter, historical assay

methods) with modern, HQ (large diameter) diamond drilling coupled with modern precious

metal assays has the potential to increase grade and confidence by providing more representative

samples.

4) Metallurgical testing. TDG has initiated Phase 1 metallurgical testing of core samples collected

from the Shasta Project in order to optimize metallurgical recoveries and support future economic

studies.

5) Economic Studies. To take the known mineral deposit area in accordance with NI 43 -101 and

advance through studies to evaluate potential economic scenarios.

Steven Kramar, TDG’s VP Exploration, commented: “Our systematic review of Greater Shasta continued

throughout 2024, incorporating ~4,500 m of historical diamond drill core information that we recovered

in 2023, in addition to the ~3,250 m of 2007 and 2010 specific information. We’re now ready to launch a

scout drill campaign, having identified multiple target locations to evaluate the four known extensions3 to

the Shasta mineral deposit area with a priority focus on the Fisher Zone 3. Our aim would be to follow -up

with HQ diamond drilling to rapidly add additional mineral resources 3 that offer the best potential to

improve the overall scale and economics of the project. A similar approach would apply for expanding the

high-grade gold Mets mining lease 3. We continue to believe that Greater Shasta- Newberry & Mets, in

combination, represent a compelling opportunity for the definition of a substantial global mineral resource

in an established mining district.”

Data Verification

TDG followed industry standard Quality Assurance/Quality Control (”QA/QC”) protocols for the 2021 and

2022 drill programs by inserting blind certified reference materials (“CRMs”) , field duplicates and blanks

into the sample stream of core samples at sufficient proportions to primary core samples . QA/QC is

maintained internally at the lab through rigorous use of internal CRMs, blanks, and duplicates.

If a QA/QC sample returned 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 QA /QC sample were re-

tested.

The drill cores from 2021 and 2022 drilling were delivered to the core shack at TDG’s Baker Mine site, and

processed by geologists who inserted QA/QC samples into the sampling sequence. The 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., enroute to either:

1) SGS’ laboratory in Burnaby, B.C., for preparation and analysis of 2021 drillcore samples. Samples

were prepared and analyzed following procedures summarized in Table 2 , where information

about methodology can be found on the SGS Canada Website, in the analytical guide (here).

2) ALS’ preparation facility in Kamloops, B.C., and ultimately to the ALS ’ laboratory in North

Vancouver, B.C. , for 202 2 and 2023 drillcore samples. Samples were prepared and analyzed

following procedures summarized in Table 2, where information about methodology can be found

on the ALS Global website, in the analytical guide (here).

Historical4,5 data were verified using Point Validation, by interpolating the Au and Ag grades to locations

of the historical4,5 data for comparison. In addition, two of the 2021 drillholes were twins of historical 4,5

drilling. Based on these analyses, the historical4,5 drilling for years 1983 to 2006 show no significant bias.

Drill collar validation was completed using handheld (GARMIN GPSMAP64 or equivalent) GPS equipment,

selecting a subset of historical 4,5 collars to validate positions inherited from the historical 4,5 database. In

2022, a DGPS was utilized to further validate historical 4,5 collars and rectify locations into modern UTM

NAD83 Zone: 9 north coordinate system (from a locally derived mine grid). Collar locations from the

1980/90s era drilling were validated for use in the mineral resource database.

Methods Used for the Mineral Resource Estimate

Grade Capping

Cumulative probability plots (“CPPs”) for the assays within both domains have been used to determine

high grade outliers which were capped (Table 3). CPPs of the composited data (composited at 2 m) have

also been used to determine the Outlier Restriction during interpolation. Outlier restriction values are

applied for distances beyond 5 m from the composite locations.

Variography and Interpolations

Variography was completed on each domain for Au and Ag to determine appropriate search parameters.

Interpolation has been done by ID3 in 4 passes with increasing search distances up to 150 m for the major

and minor axes. The modelled grades have been validated using de -clustered composites (Nearest

Neighbour or Polygonal model) and indicate no global bias with appropriate smoothing throughout the

grade-tonnage curves.

Classification of Mineral Resource Criteria

Volumes of the mineral resource that contained 2021 and/or 2022 drilling data with an average distance

between two drillholes of 50 m (or less), were considered Indicated. The mineral resource was assigned

to Inferred for all other blocks interpolated, with a Au grade.

Cut-off Grade

The COG was selected using AuEq* to cover, as a minimum, the processing and G&A costs and to account

for the metallurgical recovery, smelter terms and royalties. In 2022, the base case COG was 0.3 g/t AuEq*

which approximates the marginal economic COG; and in the 2023 and in the current, 2024 MRE the base

case COG is assigned at 0.4 g/t AuEq*.

1Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE): All scientific and technical information relating to the TDG’s Shasta Project pertaining to the

Mineral Resource Estimate (“Shasta MRE”) contained in this news release is derived from the Technical Report dated June 14,

2023 (with an effective date of Fe bruary 11, 2023) titled “The Toodoggone Portfolio and the 2023 Resource Estimate for the

Shasta Deposit” (the “2023 Technical Report”) prepared by Sue Bird, MSc., P.Eng. of Moose Mountain Technical Services. The

information contained herein in respect of the Shasta MRE is subject to all of the assumptions, qualifications and procedures set

out in the 2023 Technical Report and reference should be made to the full text of the 2023 Technical Report, a copy of which has

been file d with the securities regulators in each of the provinces of Canada (except Québec) and is available on

https://www.sedarplus.ca/. An updated technical report for the 2024 MRE will be filed within 45 days of this release.

2Inferred Mineral Resources : Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic

considerations applied to them that would enable their classification as Mineral Reserves. However, it is reasonably expected

that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources with continued

exploration and additional data.

3Mineral Exploration/Exploration Target Area(s) : Exploration targets and/or Exploration zones and/or Exploration areas are

speculative and there is no certainty that any future work or evaluation will lead to the definition of a mineral resource.

4Historical Data: This news release includes historical information that has been reviewed by TDG’s qualified person (QP). TDG’s

review of the historical records and information reasonably substantiate the validity of the information presented in this news

release; however, TDG cannot directly verify the accuracy of the historical data, including (but not limited to) the procedures used

for sample collection and analysis. Therefore, any conclusions or interpretations borne from use of this data should be considered

too speculative to suggest that additional exploration will result in mineral resource delineation. TDG encourages readers to

exercise appropriate caution when evaluating these data and/or results.

5Historical Drill core Sampling & Assay Methodology: Historical core was geologically logged with lithologies identified and notable

geological features recorded. Historical core was cut in half (and in rare cases sawn in half) along sample intervals (lithology and

mineralization dependant) generally less than 3 m. Chemical analysis was performed dominantly for precious metal analysis (Au

and Ag), and infrequently for base metals (Pb, Zn and Cu), and rarely for major elements and trace elements. Historically, different

commercial laboratories were utilized in addition to an assay lab at Baker Mine site. These lab facilities may or may not have had

accreditation and in all cases accreditation (if applicable) pre-dated current ISO standards. Over that period, a variety of digestion

and assay methods were used, including atomic absorption, fire assay atomic absorption, aqua regia atomic absorption and aqua

regia ICP with varying detection limits. Reference materials (if any) were inserted at the analytical level and thus were unblind to

the facility processing the samples.

6Adjacent Properties: The Company has no interest in, or rights to, any of the adjacent properties mentioned, and mineral deposits

on adjacent properties are not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Company’s properties. Any references to resources,

grades, metallurgical or process studies, engineering studies or historical results are provided for information only and do not imply

any certainty of achieving similar results on the Company’s properties.

About TDG Gold Corp.

TDG is a major mineral tenure holder in the historical Toodoggone Production Corridor of north -central British Columbia,

Canada, with over 32,000 hectares of brownfield and greenfield exploration opportunities under direct ownership. TDG’s

flagship projects are the former producing, high-grade gold-silver Shasta and Baker mines, which produced intermittently

between 1981-2012, and the historical high -grade gold Mets developed prospect, all of which are road accessible, and

combined have over 65,000 m of his torical drilling. The projects have been advanced through compilation of historical

data, new geological mapping, geochemical and geophysical surveys and, at Shasta, 13,250 m of modern HQ drill testing

of the known mineralization occurrences and their potential extensions. In May 2023, TDG published an updated Mineral

Resource Estimate for Shasta (news release May 01, 2023) which remains open at depth and along strike. In January 2023,

TDG defined a larger exploration target area adjacent to Shasta (‘Greater Shasta -Newberry’; news release Jan 25, 2023).

In Fall 2023, TDG published the first modern drill results from the Mets mining lease (news releases Sep 07, 2023, Sep 11,

2023 and Nov 28, 2023). In early 2024, TDG identified new copper-gold target areas over an expanded footprint covering

~53 sq.km known as the ‘Baker Complex’ (news release Feb 28, 2024).
