TDG Gold Identifies New Copper-Gold Porphyry Target in Saunders Area, Baker Complex

WHITE ROCK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 7, 2024 / TDG Gold Corp. (TSXV:TDG) (the "Company" or "TDG") is pleased to provide an update from ongoing targeting work within TDG's ~42 square kilometer ("sq.km") Baker Complex. TDG has identified a >5 sq.km target¹ within Saunders area of the Baker Complex, displaying the geological features and physiography that suggest potential to host an intrusive related copper-gold-molybdenum ("Cu-Au-Mo") porphyry. This new target (designated "Trident¹") is at least 5 sq.km, open to the northwest and southeast, and has never been drill tested (Figure 1).

The new Saunders area is located ~5 kilometres ("km") from TDG's Baker Mill and road access is as close as Black Gossan target (Figure 1) near the new target's¹ western boundary.

Prior Exploration Work
Historical exploration work over Saunders included limited surficial mapping, geochemical sampling (silts, soils, and rocks) and geophysics, including ZTEM. In 2023, TDG completed a Lithic Drainage Sampling ("LDS") survey covering the Baker Complex and Greater-Shasta Newberry. The Saunders area¹ had amongst the strongest values for Cu-Au-Mo over ~5 km drainage area as well as highly anomalous concentrations of other elements including lead, zinc and pathfinder elements including tellurium (news release Feb 28, 2024).

Geological Interpretation
TDG has completed the compilation of the existing information for the new Trident target. Data suggests the presence of an interpreted causative intrusion, appearing as a buried, dome-like high resistivity feature covered with blanket-like zone of lower resistivity. The low resistivity feature is interpreted to be a zone of higher sulphide content associated with the phyllic (quartz-sericite-pyrite) altered cupola of the intrusion (Figure 2 and full technical cross sections presented on Figures 3a, b, c) at or near a major regional unconformity between the Toodoggone Formation (above) and the Takla Group rocks (below). Economic metal concentrations in B.C. style porphyries are typically located adjacent to regional-scale unconformities. For example, the KSM and Brucejack deposits are situated at the so called ‘Kyba-Nelson Red Line', which represents the unconformity between the Stuhini and Hazelton groups of rocks in the Golden Triangle.
