TDG PROVIDES TOODOGGONE EXPLORATION UPDATE - ADDITIONAL DRILL RIG MOBILIZED
TDG Gold Corp. has provided an update regarding its fully financed, continuing discovery-focused exploration program at the company's 100-per-cent-owned Greater Shasta-Newberry (GSN) project which is located immediately adjacent to the Freeport McMoran-Amarc Resources' Aurora gold-rich copper discovery in the evolving Toodoggone district of Northern British Columbia.
Additional drill rig mobilized to project
TDG has mobilized a second drill to site to accelerate drill testing of the newly developed exploration targets. These targets are defined by integrating geochemical and geological data, alteration mapping, structural analysis, and geophysical targets generated from the continuing 2025 induced polarization (IP) surveys. The second rig is expected to commence drilling by the end of the week. Both drill rigs will be operating in the vicinity of the TDG's AuWEST target which is located directly west of the 2024 Freeport-Amarc Aurora1 copper-gold-silver (Cu-Au-Ag) discovery. Proposed drill locations will be results driven and are subject to change.
Current drilling status
One near vertically oriented drill hole has been completed to date with a final depth of 645 metres. Designed to confirm the projected extension of the Freeport-Amarc Aurora mineralization, onto TDG's GSN property and to evaluate a broad Au-in-soil geochemical anomaly (coincident with the IP response) west of the property boundary. Drill core samples from this first hole are currently being expedited to the assay laboratory for analysis and results will be released when appropriate.
2025 phase I drilling discussion
The 2025 IP survey, and corroborated by airborne and ground magnetics data, has outlined an upper and lower geophysical feature with a signature that appears to share characteristics with the Aurora Cu-Au-Ag discovery, with the upper anomaly lying at a similar elevation to Aurora. Drilling will be performed on spacings approximately 100 metres between drill holes in order to efficiently define the scale of the potential mineralization. Drill stepout spacing is subject to geological interpretation and subject to future refinement.

About TDG Gold Corp.
TDG is a major mineral tenure holder in the Toodoggone district of north-central British Columbia, Canada, with 100-per-cent ownership of approximately 50,000 hectares of brownfield and greenfield exploration ground.
In 2023, TDG defined the 5.5-square-kilometre Greater Shasta-Newberry exploration target area (news release Jan. 25, 2023) which is located directly adjacent to the gold-rich copper porphyry Aurora discovery announced by Freeport McMoran Inc. and Amarc Resources Ltd. (news release Jan 17, 2025).
In 2024, TDG identified new copper-gold target areas over an expanded footprint covering approximately 53 square km known as the Baker complex (news release Feb. 28, 2024), including the North Quartz (news release April 2, 2024) and Trident (news release March 7, 2024) targets.
TDG's other Toodoggone projects within the property package include the former producing, gold-silver Shasta and gold-silver-copper Baker mines, which produced intermittently between 1981 and 2012, and the historical high-grade gold Mets developed prospect, all of which are road accessible, and combined have over 65,000 m of historical drilling. These 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 2025, TDG published an updated mineral resource estimate for Shasta (news release Jan. 8, 2025), which remains open at depth and along strike.
In July, 2025, TDG closed the acquisition of Anyox Copper Ltd. (Anyox, news release July 14, 2025) which holds a combination of crown grants (100 per cent owned and optioned) and mineral claims totalling over 10,000 hectares including the former-producing Hidden Creek copper-gold mine -- all located within the Anyox peninsula at the southern tip of B.C.'s Golden Triangle. Exploration at Anyox will commence in the second half of 2025 and gives TDG access to a volcanogenic massive sulphide horizon within a significant past-producing district with copper-gold-lead-zinc-silver potential.
