Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 27, 2020) -
Tudor Gold Corp. (TSXV: TUD)
(FSE: TUC) (the "Company" or "Tudor Gold") is pleased to announce that it has completed the second
set of diamond drill holes at their flagship property, Treaty Creek located in the heart of the Golden
Triangle of Northwestern British Columbia. Diamond drilling is progressing very well on the Goldstorm
Zone which is on-trend from Seabridges' KSM Project located five kilometers southwest of our
Goldstorm System. As well, three more drills have been mobilized to the project.
This brings the total to
five diamond drill rigs working at Treaty Creek.
A sixth diamond drill is expected to arrive shortly at
Treaty Creek. Tudor Gold intends to double the diamond drill hole program from the original plan of
20,000 meters to at least 40,000 meters of drilling for 2020.
Tudor Gold is fully funded to complete this
aggressive drill hole program. The preliminary drilling this season has yet to delineate the limits of the
Goldstorm system as it remains open in all directions and to depth. It will require all six drills to complete
the drilling required for the completing the exploration program for the Goldstorm Au-Cu-Ag System.
Tudor Gold's Vice President of Project Development, Ken Konkin, P.Geo., states:
"For the
second time this month, we are very pleased to have bettered the results obtained earlier from
GS-20-57
which has an enriched interval that averages
1.40 gpt AuEq over 217.5 meters
(544.5 to 762.0
meters) within an overall composite average of
0.845 gpt AuEq over 973.05m
(34.50 to 1077.55
meters).
Hole GS-20-65 was designed as a 100-meter undercut to drill hole GS-20-57. The result was a
remarkable
348 meter intercept of 2.120 gpt AuEq within a larger 930 meter intercept of 1.161
gpt AuEq in drill hole GS-20-65.
More drilling will be required in this central region in order to better
define these higher-grade metal plumes that we believe occur throughout the Goldstorm System.
There
were three results over 15.0 gpt Au that occurred within GS-20-65. These include:
19.7 gpt Au over
1.5m
(145.5 to 147.0 meters),
22.5 gpt Au over 1.5m
(310.5 to 312.0 meters) and
34.2 gpt Au over
1.0 meter
(921.0 to 922.0 meters). The focus for the rest of this summer will be to complete the
exploration drilling to the limits of the known mineralization along the north-eastern axis. We have begun
drilling on Pad 8 which is a 150 meter north-easterly step out from hole GS-20-47, which was the best
intercept generated in 2019 where we obtained an intercept of
0.697 gpt AuEq over 1081.5 meters.
That hole stopped in mineralization as it was the limit of the drill's capacity. This year all six drills have
modified heads to complete drill holes in excess of 1,800 meter depths. However, we anticipate that our
longest holes for 2020 will be approximately 1,400 meters long."
Konkin adds "One of the most impressive aspects of the Goldstorm System is the consistent strength of
the mineralization. Drill hole GS-20-64 was a steep-angled 150m step-out hole drilled to the northeast
beyond the trace of the DS-5 intercept. This exploration hole targeted the extension of a very robust
stockwork system that was intersected at the bottom of drill hole GS-19-47, 0.996 gpt AuEq over 243
meters (933.5 to 1176.5 meters). The intercept ended in mineralization at 1199m. The same DS-5 zone
was intersected in GS-20-64 that doubled the intercept length from 243 meters to over 550 meters
averaging 0.983 gpt AuEq
(648.4 to 1198.95 meters) which is extremely consistent with the results
obtained in GS-19-47. An enriched, upper portion of the stockwork system yielded 1.482 gpt AuEq over
154.5 meters (771.5 to 926.0 meters). We are currently re-drilling drill hole GS-19-47 as the system may
be much larger than originally thought given the results obtained from the 150m northeast step out hole
GS-20-64. The target is to drill through the entire stockwork profile that was discovered in 2019."
The two tables below provide the complete list of drill hole results as well as the drill hole data including
hole location, elevation, depth, dip and azimuth. The Section 110+00 NW and 115+50 NE are included
at the bottom of the news release and on the Company's website. These sections show the new drill
holes plotted on their respective sections.

All assay values are uncut and intervals reflect drilled intercept lengths.
HQ and NQ2 diameter core samples were sawn in half and typically sampled at standard 1.5m
intervals
The following metal prices were used to calculate the Au Eq metal content: Gold $1322/oz, Ag:
$15.91/oz, Cu: $2.86/lb. Calculations used the formula Au Eq g/t = (Au g/t) + (Ag g/t x 0.012) +
(Cu% x 1.4835). All metals are reported in USD and calculations do not consider metal recoveries.
True widths have not been determined as the mineralized body remains open in all directions.
Further drilling is required to determine the mineralized body orientation and true widths.

Walter Storm, President and CEO
,
stated
: "Our technical team continues to explore several fronts of
the target while obtaining excellent results and we continue significantly expand the size of Goldstorm
system. The northeast-trending axis of the mineralized body of Goldstorm now exceeds a kilometre in
length and we have yet to find the limit of the mineralization to the northeast and to depth. It was
necessary to intensify our efforts by doubling our program to 40,000 meters and utilizing more drill rigs.
We are very happy to announce the approval of our new work permit that allows us to expand drilling at
Goldstorm as well as drill other zones. Tudor Gold's construction crews are planning on building a lower
drill camp that will add several months to the exploration season. We are now able to build operational
trails to gain over-land access to the zones from the current camp and from the proposed lower camp at
the toe of Treaty Glacier."
Tudor Gold Corp and our associated service companies have taken extreme measures to maintain the
highest professional standards while working within COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Only
essential personnel are permitted to enter the camp and staging areas. Of those who are at the project
site and staging site, we have strict daily monitoring of the workers' temperatures and general health
conditions. We have a certified paramedic at the staging area to examine all in-coming and out-going
Tudor personnel and all service providers.
QA/QC
Drill core samples were prepared at MSA Labs' Preparation Laboratory in Terrace, BC and assayed at
MSA Labs' Geochemical Laboratory in Langley, BC. Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by
the submission of blanks, certified standards and duplicate samples inserted at regular intervals into the
sample stream by Tudor Gold personnel. MSA Laboratories quality system complies with the
requirements for the International Standards ISO 17025 and ISO 9001. MSA Labs is independent of the
Company.
