TDG Gold Corp. report further high-grade, near-surface gold ("Au") mineralization intersected in the final diamond drillhole completed in the 2023 exploration program at TDG's 100 % owned Mets mining lease, located in the Toodoggone District of north-central B.C. As stated previously the high-grade Au mineralization at Mets appears to track a distinct very low frequency-electromagnetic ("VLF EM") conductivity gradient (Figure 1) coincident with a magnetic susceptibility low. This observation is consistent throughout the 50 m of strike between drillholes MT23-004 and MT23-005/003 (Figure 2).

Further evaluation is underway to apply this interpretation across the known 130 m of strike-length of the A-Zone, to generate targets for the potential southern1 and northern1 extensions of the A-Zone and, ultimately, explore across the entire mining lease. MT23-005 was designed as a geological test of the potential controls on the northern extent of the A-Zone. The high-grade gold mineralization intersected extends the high-grade mineralized zone above hole MT23-003.

Due to a mechanical issue with the drill rig, the drillhole was stopped at 74 m downhole depth rather than the targeted 210 m and hence failed to test the northern controls at depth. The final drillhole of the 2023 Mets drill campaign was designed to collect structural geological data by drilling oblique to previous drilling and examine the potential for high-grade mineralization on the other side of the previously untested N75 fault, as well as testing for potential additional structures. MT23-005 intersected high-grade Au (Image 1) in the vicinity of the intersection reported from MT23-003 and may expand the previously interpreted high-grade zone.

The drillhole was terminated early at a shallow depth (74 m), well before reaching the N75 fault and its target depth of 210 m due to mechanical issues on the drilling rig. The casing was left in the drillhole so that TDG can re-enter the hole and complete drilling in the future.
