Tudor Gold Identifies High-Grade Gold Breccia
System at the Goldstorm Deposit, Treaty
Creek, Northwest British Columbia
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 1, 2024) - Tudor Gold Corp. (TSXV: TUD)
(FSE: H56) (the "
Company
" or "
Tudor Gold
") is pleased to provide an update on the recent
identification of a high-grade gold system within the Goldstorm Deposit and a brief overview of the
successful expansion of the Goldstorm Domains from the Company's 2023 drill program (the
"
Program
") at their flagship property, Treaty Creek, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle of
Northwestern British Columbia.
Ken Konkin, President and CEO
, comments: "We are extremely pleased to announce that we have
delineated a high-grade gold system associated with a quartz-dominant veinlet and stringer stockwork
system, named Supercell One (SC-1). This represents a significant economic target within the CS-600
domain. Our current Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) caps gold equivalent (AuEQ) grades at 8.0 g/t
AuEQ and therefore does not include these higher grades. Our current concept is that the SC-1 system,
like the higher-grade R-66 domain, may represent a late-stage gold-dominant event that, in part, over
prints the primary mineralization of the Goldstorm Deposit. This is significant, as these smaller, higher-
grade systems have the potential to streamline start-up plans, allowing for rapid extraction of gold with
the possibility of substantially lower capital expenditures compared to a much larger conceptual bulk
tonnage operation.
Additionally, our technical team has completed the geologic modelling and domain delineation with the
incorporation of the 2023 drilling data. Updated mineral domains show significant expansion of the
Goldstorm Deposit in several areas.
(

domains

. These maps indicate how the drilling conducted in 2023 has the potential to convert several
areas of the deposit from Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated Mineral Resources. Despite the
aggressive exploration and expansion of the Goldstorm Deposit, it remains open in all directions and at
depth. The Company is currently in the process of updating the MRE for the Goldstorm Deposit and is
expected to release the updated MRE within Q1 of 2024."
Supercell One (SC-1) Characteristics and Intercepts
Minor pyrite and chalcopyrite are observed with fine-grained visible native gold within the newly crowned
SC-1 system, which is contained within the CS-600 Domain. Three drill holes are interpreted to have
intersected this structural corridor that contains significant quartz-sulphide breccia. Two of the three
holes were completed late during the 2023 exploration campaign while the discovery hole, GS-22-134
(20.86 g/t AuEQ over 4.5 m within a 25.5 m zone of 9.96 AuEQ)
, was completed during the 2022
drilling campaign. Drill hole GS-23-176-W1
(15.64 g/t AuEQ over 15.0 m)
was designed as an offset
step-out hole to the impressive gold intercept obtained within GS-22-134. With the third drill hole, GS-23-
179
(10.07 g/t AuEQ over 12.0 m)
, a northeast step-out, our technical crews were able to validate the
SC-1 system, tracing SC-1 up-dip from GS-22-134 and GS-23-176-W1. To date, the high-grade gold-
bearing, breccia stockwork system measures approximately 400 m down plunge and over 300 m along
a northeastern axis. The true width of the mineralized structure is currently unknown.
Drill-hole highlights from SC-1 include the following intercepts:
GS-22-134:
25.5 m of 9.96 g/t AuEQ
(9.66 g/t Au, 1.23 g/t Ag, 0.24 % Cu)
GS-23-176-W1:
15.0 m of 15.64 g/t AuEQ
(14.89 g/t Au, 4.72 g/t Ag, 0.60 % Cu)
GS-23-179:
12.0 m of 10.07 g/t AuEQ
(9.78 g/t Au, 1.35 g/t Ag, 0.23 % Cu)
Updated Disclosure Regarding Closing of $8.9 Million Private Placement
The Company wishes to clarify its previously disseminated press release dated December 13, 2023,
announcing the closing of the Company's previously announced non-brokered private placement for
gross proceeds of $8,900,000. The press release inadvertently disclosed that the Company issued a
total of 4,253,948 non-flow-through units ("
NFT Units
") to subscribers in the offering and 358,857
finder's warrants ("
Finder's Warrants
") to certain finders. The actual number of NFT Units and Finder's
Warrants issued in connection with the Offering was 3,553,948 and 373,950, respectively.

technical information that forms the basis for the disclosure contained in this news release.
QA/QC
Diamond 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.
About Treaty Creek
The Treaty Creek Project hosts the Goldstorm Deposit, comprising a large gold-copper porphyry
system, as well as several other mineralized zones. As disclosed in the
"NI-43-101 Technical Report for
the Treaty Creek Project", dated April 28, 2023 prepared by Garth Kirkham Geosystems and JDS
Energy & Mining Inc., the Goldstorm Deposit has an
Indicated Mineral Resource
of
23.37 Moz of
AuEQ grading 1.13 g/t AuEQ (18.75 Moz gold grading 0.91 g/t, 2.18 Blbs copper grading 0.15 %,
112.4 Moz silver grading 5.45 g/t)
and an
Inferred Mineral Resource
of
7.35 Moz of AuEQ grading
0.98 g/t AuEQ (5.54 Moz gold grading 0.74 g/t, 0.85 Blb copper grading 0.16 %, 45.08 Moz silver
grading 5.99 g/t)
, with a pit constrained cut-off of 0.5 g/t AuEQ and an underground cut-off of 0.7 g/t
AuEQ. The Goldstorm Deposit has been categorized into three dominant mineral domains and several
smaller mineral domains. The CS-600 Domain largely consists of an intermediate intrusive stock and
hosts the majority of the copper mineralization within the Goldstorm Deposit. CS-600 has an Indicated
Mineral Resource of 9.86 Moz AuEQ grading 1.10 g/t AuEQ (6.22 Moz gold grading 0.70 g/t, 1.98 Blbs
copper grading 0.32 %, 51.1 Moz silver grading 5.71 g/t) and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 3.71 Moz
AuEQ grading 1.19 g/t AuEQ (2.32 Moz gold grading 0.75 g/t, 0.76 Blb copper grading 0.36 %, 18.71
Moz silver grading 6.01 g/t). The Goldstorm Deposit remains open in all directions and requires further
exploration drilling to determine the size and extent of the Deposit.
