[{"type":"text","content":"TDG Gold Corp. Historical Drilling Results Demonstrate Bulk Tonnage Potential at the Former Producing Gold-Silver Shasta MineWHITE ROCK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 5, 2021 / TDG Gold Corp (TSXV:TDG) (the \"Company\" or \"TDG\") is pleased to provide an update on its interpretation work of the historical drilling undertaken on JM and Creek-Shasta Zones of the former producing high-grade gold and silver Shasta Mine located in the Toodoggone Region of northern British Columbia.Interpretation of historical data demonstrates gold and silver bulk tonnage potential surrounding the former mined areas of the JM and Creek Zone veins (Figure 1) together with their mineralized strike extensions to the south and south-east. Select drill logs and assays show gold and silver mineralization extends into host rock and vein stockworks in widths up to 100 metres. Only 63% of historical drill core was assayed and therefore there remains the potential to increase mineralized widths in several areas through resampling of historical core and drilling of new holes.Shasta Historical WorkingsA preliminary site assessment and reconstruction of historical mine working data was undertaken by Tetra Tech Inc. All mine levels, stopes, pits and access drifts were recreated from historical mine working drawings. Tetra Tech also provided a final estimated volume extraction from the 300-metre length JM Zone and the 300-metre length Creek Zone totaling approximately 420,000 tonnes including ore and waste.Figure 1. Underground mine and pit mine workings in 3D created from historical mine plans.Further to TDG's news release of December 16, 2020, twelve mineralized zones have been outlined at Shasta using historical and publically available data. The regional Shasta exploration target covers an area approximately 800 metres by 1500 metres. Eleven of the twelve mineralized zones at the Shasta project were previously drilled although some targets are only represented by extremely limited numbers of drillholes. This news release focuses on historical data for the known Creek-Shasta and JM Zones covering a strike length of approximately 750 metres.Figure 2 below shows the location of the three zones for which drill hole longitudinal sections and cross sections are included in this news release (Figures 3-7). Additional cross sections will be published in the Shasta project...
