[{"type":"text","content":"TDG Gold Corp. Intersects Significant Widths of Mineralization and Adds Third Drill at Its Shasta Gold-Silver Project, Toodoggone District, British ColumbiaWHITE ROCK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 28, 2021 / TDG Gold Corp (TSXV:TDG) (the \"Company\" or \"TDG\") is pleased to provide an update on the ongoing resource drilling underway at its Shasta gold-silver project, located in the 'Toodoggone Production Corridor' of north-central British Columbia.The drill program at Shasta has intersected thicknesses of up to 70 metres (\"m\") of quartz breccia and stockwork veining that is texturally and mineralogically comparable to material historically mined from Shasta, which operated as a producing gold and silver mine until 2012. The location and thicknesses of mineralization and alteration encountered generally conforms with the geologic model prepared by Moose Mountain Technical Services (\"Moose Mountain\") and appears to have extended the mineralization to depth. Assay results are pending, with the first assay data expected by the end of 2021 and final assays in the first quarter of 2022.2021 ProgramThe ongoing 2021 exploration program (\"2021 Program\") is generating geological, geophysical and geochemical data to support and enhance the understanding of mineralization at Shasta for the development of an economic resource model. TDG has added a third diamond drill rig to facilitate the completion of an approximately 10,000 m of HQ core diameter drilling program, which is expected to be completed by end of October, 2021. TDG is drilling oriented core, which also provides supplemental information on the orientation of mineralization and veining encountered, as well as geotechnical information that can be used in pit designs and optimization. This additional information will be very beneficial to the resource modelling and future drill targeting.The 2021 Program has been designed, in consultation with Moose Mountain, to infill historical drill holes giving tighter and more regular coverage across the deposit thereby increasing the confidence in the continuity of the grade of gold and silver mineralization. This increased confidence should support improved classification in a mineral resource estimate planned for completion following receipt of all assay results. The 2021 drilling will also twin select historical drill holes to confirm...
