Exploration scheduled to commence in June 2025 with IP followed by Drilling
WHITE ROCK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 12, 2025 / TDG Gold Corp. (TSXV:TDG)(OTCQX:TDGGF) (the "Company" or "TDG") is pleased to announce that its field team has mobilized and will shortly commence TDG's funded 2025 exploration program within the Company's expansive and 100%-owned Greater Shasta-Newberry ("GSN") Project (Figure 1) in the Toodoggone District of British Columbia (Figure 2).
Field activities will start with a combination of: (i) soil and rock geochemistry, (ii) Induced Polarisation ("IP") geophysics, (iii) Time-domain electromagnetic geophysics, (iv) ground based magnetic geophysics and, (v) detailed geological mapping (Figure 3), followed by drilling, with the objective of defining copper +/- gold drill targets. The initial focus will be on the area encompassing the Greater Shasta, Newberry and AuWEST areas and will then expand to cover key parts of the 12 kilometre ("km") structural corridor previously defined by TDG (news release Mar 03, 2025). This corridor hosts the Freeport-Amarc AuRORA1 discovery along with TDG's Trident target (news release Mar 07, 2024) and East Spur target (news release Mar 03, 2025).
HQ diamond drilling is expected to commence in mid-July with the first drillhole located less than 10 metres from the GSN-AuRORA1 boundary. A further two drillholes are expected to be drilled from the same pad in close proximity to the mineral tenure boundary and the AuRORA1discovery. Additional pads, drillholes and drill rigs are expected to be deployed based on results from the targeting studies as part of a proposed more extensive drill program at GSN and including additional targets prioritized within the 12 km structural corridor.
Steven Kramar, TDG's Vice President Exploration, commented: "TDG's planned field program this season represents a step change in our focus and coverage as we seek to evaluate and drill test a number of copper +/- gold porphyry opportunities on our side of the boundary of the AuRORA1 discovery, and beyond. Operations will be based out of our Baker camp located ~8 km by road from GSN. We are well-funded, and our camp is fully winterized - hence, we anticipate being able to operate through to the end of October and into November, if warranted."

About TDG Gold Corp.
TDG is a major mineral tenure holder in the Toodoggone District of north-central British Columbia, Canada, with 100% ownership of ~50,000 hectares of brownfield and greenfield exploration ground.
In 2023, TDG defined the 5.5 sq.km Greater Shasta-Newberry exploration target area (news release Jan 25, 2023) which is located directly adjacent to the gold-rich copper porphyry AuRORA1 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 ~53 sq.km known as the 'Baker Complex' (news release Feb 28, 2024), including the North Quartz (news release Apr 02, 2024) and Trident (news release Mar 07, 2024) targets. In January 2025, TDG identified an additional porphyry copper +/- molybdenum target at Erebus located within TDG's Bot project (news release Jan 17, 2025). In February 2025, TDG completed the Sofia acquisition, which includes porphyry copper +/- molybdenum +/- gold targets (ARIS Report 41231).
TDG's other projects within the property package include the former producing, gold-silver Shasta and gold-silver-copper 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 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 Estimate2 for Shasta (news release Jan 08, 2025), which remains open at depth and along strike.

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from estimated or anticipated events or results implied or expressed in such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others: the uncertainty that any mineralization encountered on adjacent properties continues on to TDG tenure; the uncertainty that geological and/or geophysical and/or geochemical anomalies and/or any trends, interpretations, or conclusions based on adjacent properties have relevance to TDG's tenure; whether geophysical anomalies and targets located on TDG's properties represent epithermal and/or porphyry-style mineralization and, if so, whether such mineralization has economic potential; the actual results of current and planned exploration activities; the actual timing of current and planned exploration activities; the interpretation that the Greater Shasta-Newberry Target Area represents a larger mineralized system encompassing several target zones and the potential that such zones may represent additional mineralized target zones; the interpretation that the 12 km structural corridor represents a larger mineralized system encompassing several target zones and the potential that such zones may represent additional mineralized target zones changes in project parameters as plans to continue to be refined; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; the availability of sufficient funding on terms acceptable to the company to complete the planned work programs; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing; and fluctuations in metal prices. There may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and, except as may be required by applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein.
