TDG Continues Expanding Aurora West and Identifies New Porphyry Target

Core Insights - TDG Gold Corp. has reported significant drilling results from its 2025 Phase I exploration program at the Aurora West Zone, indicating a growing scale of mineralization and potential for further discoveries in the Greater Shasta–Newberry Project [1][2][9] Exploration Results - The Aurora West Zone is now defined to approximately 1,000 meters of strike, with recent drilling extending mineralization at depth, including a notable step-out drill hole TDG25-020 that intersected mineralized intervals grading 1.02 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 0.43% copper over 14.0 meters [2][3][4] - Drill hole TDG25-012 previously returned 1.30 g/t Au and 0.43% Cu over 88.0 meters, demonstrating the continuity and potential of the mineralized system [4][5] New Discoveries - A new area of interpreted porphyry-style alteration has been discovered approximately 600 meters north of the Aurora Complex, suggesting the potential for a larger porphyry system within the district [6][7] - The identification of broad intervals with strong alteration intensity enhances the exploration potential of the district, indicating that the Aurora Complex may be part of a much larger mineralized system [7][8] Future Plans - Follow-up exploration drilling is planned to further evaluate the newly interpreted porphyry-style zone, with the company currently operating two drill rigs in the GSN/Aurora West Zone area [8][15] - The 2026 winter drilling program may temporarily focus on upgrading and expanding the Shasta epithermal gold-silver mineral resource due to operational restrictions in certain areas [15][16] Mineral Resource Estimate - The Shasta mineral resource estimate indicates significant potential, with the indicated resource showing 15.169 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.13 g/t gold and 31.2 g/t silver [18][20] - The Shasta deposit remains open along strike and at depth, with multiple target areas identified for further exploration [17][36]
