[{"type":"text","content":"TDG Gold Corp. Generates New Geological Model and Targets for the Former Producing High Grade Gold-Silver Baker Mine, Toodoggone Region, British ColumbiaWHITE ROCK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 5, 2021 / TDG Gold Corp (TSXV:TDG) (the \"Company\" or \"TDG\") is pleased to provide an update on the interpretation work of the historical drilling undertaken on its Baker Project, a former producing high-grade gold and silver mine located in the Toodoggone Region of northern British Columbia.Baker is road accessible and located 8 kilometres (\"km\") from TDG's former producing gold-silver Shasta mine where TDG has announced an exploration target range of 0.9 - 1.47 million gold-equivalent ounces (see TDG's news release of March 03, 2021).The Baker Project consists of several zones (including 2 new targets identified by TDG) and covers a strategic land position between TDG's Shasta project and Benchmark Metals' Lawyers project. Because of the well-maintained road running through the property providing the only real access to the area, Baker has historically represented the gateway to the surrounding exploration areas to the northeast and northwest, where TDG also has its Bot and Mets properties, and Oxide Peak earn-in property.Figure 1. Baker Project location.The Baker Mine operated intermittently between 1981 and 1997. Extraction and exploration focused primarily on high-grade veins and structures in underground mines and open pit. In the period 1981-1983 and 1996-1997, 81,878 tonnes of Baker ore were milled, recovering 765,565 ounces of silver and 41,281 ounces of gold. The Baker mill is under care and maintenance. According to two published CIM Bulletins (published in 1985 and 1986), the Baker ore averaged 23.18 grams per tonne (\"gpt\") gold and 562.5 gpt silver on average, and with a cut-off grade of 9.34 gpt gold; and, \"Recoveries above 94% for gold and 87% for silver were demonstrated in the mill when mill feed calculated heads reached design levels.\"Baker Project OverviewThe Baker Project refers to multiple exploration targets located northwest of the Shasta Mine and which are road accessible from the Baker Mill. The area has been explored intermittently between 1974 and 2017 by several operators.The Baker exploration target covers an area approximately 5.1 km by 1.9 km which includes the main Baker pit and nine zones of which five h...
