Provides Update and 2021 Plans for Its High-Grade Gold-Silver Former Producing Mets Mining Lease, British ColumbiaWHITE ROCK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 19, 2021 / TDG Gold Corp (TSXV:TDG) (the \"Company\" or \"TDG\") is pleased to provide an update of the review of the historical exploration work and 2021 plans for its former producing high-grade gold-silver Mets mining lease.TDG's former producing, high-grade gold-silver Baker, Shasta and Mets mines are located within the 60 kilometres (\"km\") road-linked, historical \"Toodoggone Production Corridor\" (see Figure 1), which is now actively being re-explored by TDG and other exploration companies for lower grade, bulk tonnage mineralization. The corridor runs from Centerra Gold's former producing Kemess mine in the southeast to Thesis Gold's Ranch project in the northwest and also includes Benchmark Metal's Lawyers project which recently published an initial mineral resource estimate.Figure 1 shows the road-connected \"Toodoggone Production Corridor\" which includes TDG's former producing high-grade gold-silver Baker, Shasta and Mets mines. Baker acts as the \"gateway\" to the northwestern section of the corridor.The Mets mining lease covers 200 hectares and is road accessible from Baker via Benchmark Metals' Lawyers project. Mets was discovered and systematically explored between 1980-1992 including a reported 8,784 metres (\"m\") of diamond drilling (of which TDG has recompiled 7,944 m), 2,622 m of trenching and 350 m of underground development on one level. Historical drill highlights include 9.52 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") gold (\"Au\") and 1.9 g/t silver (\"Ag\") over 25.90 m and 3.57 g/t Au and 2.36 g/t Ag over 46.40 m, including 13.93 g/t Au and 2.00 g/t Ag over 11.80 m.Figure 2: Mets location map.According to a Skeena Resources Limited (\"Skeena\") news release of February 05, 2009 about Mets: \"...the main area of interest consists of a tabular core of silicified rock and quartz barite veining in three separate but genetically related zones; the A zone (and its extension), the Footwall zone, and the 400 South zone.\"The same news release went on to note: \"...two previous operators calculated a gold resource.
