TDG GOLD CORP. DRILLS 38.0 METRES OF 3.04 G/T GOLD AND 101 G/T SILVER AT SHASTA CREEK NORTH, TOODOGGONE, B.C.

White Rock, British Columbia, January 11, 2022. TDG Gold Corp. (TSXV: TDG) (the “Company” or “TDG”) is pleased to announce drill results from drillholes SH21-007 and SH21-008 from its 2021 diamond drill program with both holes drilled approximately 150 metres (“m”) north of the historical Shasta Creek Zone open pit. Drill intercepts include 38.0 m of 3.04 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) with 101 g/t silver (“Ag”) [4.30 g/t AuEq*] in drillhole SH21-008. Assay results were received directly from SGS Canada Inc. (“SGS”) from TDG’s Shasta project which is located in the Toodoggone District of north-central B.C. Results have been received directly from SGS Canada Inc. (“SGS”) and whilst SGS has completed its QA/QC protocols for these results, a comprehensive internal Data Quality Analysis (“DQA”) by TDG is still underway with subsequent assay results from the Shasta project still pending. Therefore, the results for the purposes of this news release are still considered preliminary.

The northern section of TDG’s Shasta project consists of the northerly portions of the Creek and JM Zones and also the Upper Creek Zone. Collectively, these zones at Shasta represent an opportunity to explore and evaluate the continuity and grade of the historical ore body in an area that was under-explored. The 2021 drilling in this area was designed to step west from the Shasta Fault, test underneath the historical mine workings and confirm the grade of mineralization reported from historical results as part of data validation in anticipation of the Mineral Resource Estimate work underway by Moose Mountain Technical Services. Results presented here are for SH21-007 and SH21-008 (Table 1).

Hole	From	To	Length	Au	Ag	AuEq*
	(m)	(m)	(m)	(g/t)	(g/t)	(g/t)
SH21-07	67.6	106.0	38.4	0.71	32	1.11
SH21-08	66.0	104.0	38.0	3.04	101	4.30
including	72.0	79.0	7.0	7.90	220	10.64
SH21-08	116.0	126.0	10.0	0.82	34	1.25

Historically, drilling and mining was concentrated adjacent to the Shasta Fault, and the entirety of core was not sent for assay analysis. Holes drilled in 2021 within the northern section of the Shasta project consisted of infill drilling between historical holes and to test continuity of mineralization to the north (Figure 1). Select historical results are presented in Table 2 and a cross-section in Figure 2. Results are still pending for 2021 drillholes SH21-006, SH21-013, SH21-017, SH21-019, SH21-021 and SH21-023; and also for re-assays of the 2007 drillholes SH07-13, SH07-14 and SH07-15.

SH21-007 and SH21-008 both intersected the Shasta Fault at the predicted depth. As reported in TDG’s news release of September 28, 2021 (see here), the footwall to the fault encountered a broad zone of silicified volcaniclastics with stockwork quartz veining, strong pervasive potassic alteration with a sulphide assemblage comprised of pyrite, chalcopyrite and acanthite, a package of host rocks, mineralization and alteration typical of the Shasta mineralization seen in historical holes.

SH89-040	71.0	108.0	37.0	1.84	106	3.16
SH89-045	109.6	138.7	29.1	0.77	37	1.23

SH87-010	14.2	84.0	69.8	0.74	39	1.22

All 2021 drill holes are HQ sized drill cores. Particulars for drill holes (location, depth, etc.)are presented in Table 3. The geology of the 2021 drill holes described in TDG’s September 28, 2021 news release¹ (here). Assay results for remaining 2021 drillholes and 2007 re-assays are still pending at this time.

¹Note, in TDG’s September 28, 2021 news release, drillholes SH21-007 and SH21-008 were mis-plotted, which has been corrected in this news release. This error does not materially change the content of either news release.

SH21-007	620,855	6,347,565	90	-60	151
SH21-008	620,855	6,347,565	60	-60	204

QA/QC

Samples for the Shasta 2021 drill program followed chain of custody between collection, processing and delivery to an SGS laboratory in Burnaby, B.C. The drill cores were delivered to the core shack at TDG’s Baker Mine site, and processed by geologists whom inserted certified reference materials, blanks and duplicates (pulp and coarse) into the sampling sequence. 2021 Drill core was cut in half (1/2 HQ core) and placed in zip-tied polyurethane bags, then in security-sealed rice bags before being delivered directly from the Baker Mine, to Bandstra Transportation Systems in Prince George, B.C., and ultimately to SGS laboratory Burnaby, B.C. 2007 drill core was split (mechanically). Core samples were prepared for analysis according to SGS method PRP89: dry samples to 105°C, crush to 75 % passing 2 mm, split 250 g, pulverize 85 % passing 75 microns. Samples were analyzed following procedures summarized in Table 4, where information about methodology can be found on the SGS Canada Website, in the analytical guide (here).

Quality assurance and control (“QAQC”) is maintained internally at the lab through rigorous use of internal certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates. An additional QAQC program was administered by TDG Gold through the use of certified reference materials (“CRMs”), duplicate samples and blank samples that were blindly inserted into the sample batch. If a QAQC sample returns an unacceptable value an investigation into the results is triggered and when deemed necessary, the samples that were tested in the batch with the failed QAQC sample are re-tested. For the purposes of this press release, results are ‘preliminary’ and thus have not undergone SGS internal QAQC or TDG’s DQA investigations.
