[{"type":"text","content":"TDG Gold Corp. Outlines 2023 Field Program at the Mets Mining Lease, ToodoggoneWHITE ROCK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 16, 2023 / TDG Gold Corp. (TSXV:TDG) (the \"Company\" or \"TDG\") is pleased to provide an overview of the proposed 2023 exploration field program at its two square kilometre (\"sq.km\"), road accessible Mets Mining Lease located ~23 km from TDG's Baker mill. Mets is classified as a \"developed prospect\" having previously had a historical mineral resource and reserve1 estimate and ~350 metres (\"m\") of underground development completed in 1992.The key objectives of TDG's 2023 field program at Mets are (a) confirmation drilling in the A-zone, (b) targeting potential extensions to the A-zone, and (c) to begin gold deportment studies on materials collected during the proposed drilling program as a prelude to additional metallurgical studies.Highlights of the proposed 2023 field program at Mets include (Figure 1):Opening of the historical A-zone portal.Removal of the of formerly extracted development rock that was reportedly backfilled into the excavation, allowing access for underground survey work.Potentially, analytical tests on the extracted development rock, which historical records indicate could grade around 6.5 grams per tonne2 (\"g/t\") gold (\"Au\").1,000 m of diamond HQ, oriented confirmation drilling within the A-zone, to bring the drill database to NI43-101 standards. Given the historical drilling was small diameter, larger diameter cores would provide more representative samples.Ground magnetic and Very Low Frequency (\"VLF\") geophysics across the entire Mets mineral lease, focusing on tracing the magnetic and conductive features associated with the A-Zone mineralization south, beyond current survey boundaries, and potentially identifying additional structural corridors.Geological mapping, prospecting, and trenching, bolstering the geological model, in anticipation of drilling potential extensions of the A-Zone to the north and south, as well as the N75 Fault Offset and the Kramar Zone.In parallel, TDG will undertake further studies of TDG's existing 200 tonne per day Baker mill and the ~300,000 tonnes of tailings located at TDG's Baker project to determine their suitability to be incorporated into future development scenarios.Fletcher Morgan, TDG's CEO, commented: \"The more we've progressed the recomp...
