[{"type":"text","content":"TDG Gold Corp. Publishes Second Set of Historical Longitudinal and Cross Sections from Shasta Exploration Area Demonstrating Continuation of Mineralization up to 700 Metres from Historical Mine WorkingsWHITE ROCK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 18, 2021 / TDG Gold Corp (TSXV:TDG) (the \"Company\" or \"TDG\") is pleased to provide a second set of longitudinal sections and cross sections from its interpretation work of the historical drilling and exploration undertaken on the former producing high-grade gold and silver Shasta Mine located in the Toodoggone Region of northern British Columbia. The sections presented in this news release cover the JM-Cayley-Rainier Zones and the O Zone.JM-Cayley-Rainier ZonesThe JM, Cayley and Rainier Zones lie to the south and southeast of the historically mined Creek and JM Zones (see news release January 05, 2021) and represent geologically continuous mineralized zones, segregated by minor fault offsets. Collation of historical work also highlights the presence of anastomosing vein sets that have been both mapped at surface and intersected during prior drilling, forming a \"horsetail\" splay of structures which creates broad zones of near-surface mineralization with an indicated strike length of approximately 1 kilometre with only 300 metres accessed through the historical underground workings.Historical drill holes within these veins are more widely spaced than within the workings itself but demonstrate comparable widths and grades which remain open to the south and at depth. Previous operators also selectively assayed samples from drill core using visual identification of minerals so the full potential of any mineralized gold-silver halo is currently untested.An interval in hole DD83-03 in the southern JM and Cayley Zone (190 metres south of historical workings) returned 66.1 metres at 0.51 grams per tonne (\"gpt\") gold and 8.81 gpt silver, including 9.1 metres of 3.01 gpt gold and 37.29 gpt silver. This appears to represent a central higher-grade mineralized core surrounded by a broader lower-grade halo.An additional step out 300 metres south within the Rainier Zone returned intervals including 16.2 metres at 2.58 gpt gold and 15.66 gpt silver in hole DD10-05.Collectively these historical results indicate the potential for consistent mineralization which remains open along strike and at depth.O Zo...
