Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 1, 2022) - Tudor Gold Corp. (
TSXV: TUD
)
(
FSE: TUC
) (the "
Company
" or "
Tudor Gold
") is pleased to present the eighth set of drill results for the
2022 exploration 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: "Our entire team is very pleased to see the continued
success of the exploration program in the northern-most limits of the Goldstorm Deposit within domain
CS600. We continue to intersect pulses of very strong gold and copper mineralization with
1.82 g/t
AuEQ
(
1.04 g/t Au, 5.17 g/t Ag and 0.61% Cu) over a 114-metre (m) intercept. Precious and base
metal values were equally impressive over double this same intercept averaging 1.50 g/t AuEQ
over 235.5 m
in hole GS-22-158 and values were comparable to the hole above this, GS-22-151-W1
with 1.27 g/t AuEQ over 300 m (
October 4, 2022 PR
). GS-22-158 successfully undercut GS-22-151-W1
by approximately 100-150 m and ended in strong copper-gold mineralization as did GS-22-151-W1. In-
fill drilling successfully added confidence with our resource model as
GS-22-156 intersected 1.0 g/t
AuEQ over 294 m within the 300H domain. This intercept was punctuated by a high-grade gold
intercept of 28.7 g/t Au and 16.2 g/t Ag (28.9 AuEQ) over 1.5 m near the bottom of the
composite.
In addition to increasing our deposit foot-print northwards, we were also successful in
expanding mineralization to the southwest with a
100 m step-out drill hole CB-22-01 which
intersected significant near-surface gold values over 168 m that averaged 0.68 g/t AuEQ.
This
hole was drilled well outside the area of the 2021 initial resource model for the Goldstorm Deposit
demonstrating that mineralization remains open in all directions and to depth. Crews will be wrapping up
the exploration program this week and will be collecting several new composites for metallurgical tests
with samples for petrographic and ore microscopy studies from our Stewart-based core facility. Our drills
have been de-mobilized and both upper and lower camps have been shut down. We have several drill
holes awaiting results from the lab and we will announce these results shortly after we receive them.
"
The Program at the Treaty Creek property includes an aggressive resource expansion and delineation
plan for several areas, including the Goldstorm Deposit and the Eureka and Calm Before the Storm
Zones. Results included in this press release are reported from five diamond drill holes that were drilled
on the Goldstorm Deposit, Copper Belle Deposit, and Konkin Zones (Sections K, L, 98+50 NE and
94+50 NE). At Goldstorm, one out of two holes were drilled partially or completely outside the 2021 NI
43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate area (see link:
corresponding Treaty Creek plan map and
sections
).
GOLDSTORM DEPOSIT
SECTION K
GS-22-156
was drilled as an infill hole within the 300H domain in the area of the footwall of the
Treaty Thrust Fault 1 (TTF1). An intercept of
294.0 m grading 1.0 g/t AuEQ (0.92 g/t Au, 4.38 g/t
Ag, 0.02% Cu)
was returned with a high-grade segment with
13.5 m grading 5.16 g/t AuEQ
(4.99 g/t Au, 5.17 g/t Ag, 0.09% Cu)
.
SECTION L
GS-22-158
was drilled to target the CS600 domain and undercut GS-22-151-W1. An intercept of
the CS600 gold-copper porphyry system was intercepted over a drill length of
592.5 m averaging
1.16 g/t AuEQ (0.73 g/t Au, 3.17 g/t Ag, 0.34% Cu)
with an enriched zone of
1.82 g/t AuEQ
(1.04 g/t Au, 5.17 Ag, 0.61% Cu) over 114.0 m
. This hole confirms the consistency of
mineralization throughout the porphyry system and that no boundary on the northern side of the
system has been encountered. This hole is located 250 m north of the 2021 mineral resource
estimate. Future exploration will target the northerly extension of this system.
COPPER BELLE DEPOSIT
SECTION 98+50 NE
CB-22-01
was drilled as a 100 m southeastern step-out hole on the Copper Belle deposit. An
interval of
168.0 m returned 0.68 g/t AuEQ (0.65 g/t Au, 1.97 g/t Ag, 0.01 % Cu)
with a high-
grade segment of
4.5 m grading 4.44 g/t AuEQ (4.31 g/t Au, 10.78 g/t Ag).
This hole confirms
the continuity of mineralization to the south of Copper Belle and that the deposit remains open.
CB-22-02
was drilled as a 100 m northwestern step-out hole one the Copper Belle deposit. An
interval of
39.0 m grading 0.65 g/t AuEQ (0.62 g/t Au, 0.72 g/t Ag, 0.02 % Cu).
This hole
confirms the continuity of mineralization to the south of Copper Belle and that the deposit remains
open.
KONKIN ZONE
SECTION 94+50 NE
KZ-22-01
was drilled as an exploration hole to follow up on anomalous gold surface samples. The
hole encountered
46.5 m of 0.53 g/t AuEQ (0.51 g/t Au, 1.36 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu)
as well as a
significant gold interval over
9.0 m of 3.60 g/t AuEQ (3.54 g/t Au, 5.32 g/t Ag).
The hole
intercepted propylitic and phyllic alteration which could be associated with the Goldstorm porphyry
system or may be related to a separate intrusive event.

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 $1625/oz, Ag: $19/oz, Cu: $2.8/lb. Calculations used the
formula Au Eq g/t = (Au g/t) + (Ag g/t x 0.01169) + (Cu% x 1.1815). 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.
