TDG Gold Corp. (TSXV: TDG,OTC:TDGGF | OTCQX: TDGGF) (the "Company" or "TDG") is pleased to report additional Phase I drilling results from the Aurora West Zone within TDG's Greater Shasta-Newberry ("GSN") project located in the Toodoggone District of British Columbia. To date, the fully funded, ongoing Phase I Aurora West Zone exploratory drilling program has now completed ~12,000 metres ("m") in 19 drill holes. Drilling continues on schedule with three drill rigs slated to complete ~15,000 m prior to year end. Delivery times for finalized analytical results are impacted by the high volume of samples at the laboratory. As such, additional drilling results will be disclosed in batches of successive drill holes as finalized analyses become available.
Phase I Additional Drilling Highlights:
- TDG25-009: 1.26 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au"), 2.6 g/t silver ("Ag"), 0.29% copper ("Cu") over 82.3 m
- TDG25-010: 0.94 g/t Au, 1.7 g/t Ag, 0.24% Cu over 142.2 m
including 1.54 g/t Au, 2.6 g/t Ag, 0.36% Cu over 56.0 m
Ongoing Step Out Drilling Demonstrates Both Scale and Tenor Continuity
Phase I drill hole TDG25-009 has expanded the Aurora West Zone Au-Ag-Cu mineralization at depth having intersected 1.26 g/t Au, 2.6 g/t Ag, 0.29% Cu over 82.3 m.
This new interval has expanded the Aurora West Zone mineralization an additional 50 metres west, for a total of 150 metres west of the property boundary and ~50 metres down dip of previously reported Phase I drill hole TDG25-003 which intersected 1.13 g/t Au, 2.6 g/t Ag, 0.30% Cu over 60.1 m (news release dated Oct 15, 2025 ). This area remains untested by drilling both to the west as well as down dip. ( Figures 1 & 2 ).
Fletcher Morgan, CEO of TDG remarks, "The sizeable drilling patterns used by TDG that are in excess of 100 metres between drill holes have delivered accelerated returns and capital efficiency as the Company continues to make evident the scale of the still evolving Aurora West Zone. Having explored Aurora West Zone for only 5 months, TDG has established grade, continuity and rapidly delineated mineralization over a preliminary area measuring ~150 by ~600 metres with the zone still remaining untested in every direction."
Additional Near Surface Expansion Realized
Phase I drill hole TDG25-010 has demonstrated a southwesterly expansion 50 metres west of the Company's property boundary with a substantive interval grading 0.94 g/t Au, 1.7 g/t Ag, 0.24% Cu over 142.2 m . This drill extension hosts a higher-grade subinterval grading 1.54 g/t Au, 2.6 g/t Ag, 0.36% Cu over 56.0 m . Located 280 m below surface, the mineralization remains open for expansion to the south and up dip to surface.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control Protocols
Samples for the GSN 2025 drill program followed chain of custody between collection, processing and delivery to a Bureau Veritas ("BV") laboratory in Vancouver, B.C. The drill cores were delivered to the core shack at TDG's Baker Mine site, and processed by geologists who inserted certified reference materials, blanks and duplicates (pulp and coarse) into the sampling sequence at regular intervals. The 2025 drill core was cut in half (1/2 HQ core or NQ core) and placed in zip-tied polyurethane bags, then in security-sealed rice bags before being delivered directly from the Baker Mine site, to Bandstra Transportation Systems in Prince George, B.C., and ultimately to the BV laboratory in Vancouver, B.C. Samples were prepared and analyzed following procedures summarized in Table 3 , where information about methodology can be found on the BV website, in the analytical guide ( here ).

Quality assurance and control (" QA/QC ") is maintained internally at the lab through rigorous use of internal certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates. An additional QA/QC program is underway by TDG Gold through the use of certified reference materials (" CRMs "), duplicate samples and blank samples that were blindly inserted into the sample batch. If a QA/QC sample returns an unacceptable value an investigation into the results is triggered and when deemed necessary, the samples that were analyzed in the batch with the failed QA/QC sample are re-analyzed.
Qualified Person
Exploration activities at the GSN Project are administered by the Company's Vice President Exploration Steven Kramar, MSc., P.Geo. In accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, Steven Kramar, MSc., P.Geo., is the Qualified Person for the Company and has validated and approved the technical and scientific content of this news release. The Company adheres to CIM Best Practices Guidelines in conducting, documenting, and reporting the exploration activities on its projects.
Notes
1 Adjacent Properties: The Company has no interest in, or rights to, any of the adjacent properties mentioned, and exploration results on adjacent properties are not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Company's properties. Any references to exploration results on adjacent properties are provided for information only and do not imply any certainty of achieving similar results on the Company's properties.
2 Preliminary Assay Results: The data reported herein are considered preliminary, as the full set of assay results for the 2025 program has not yet been received. While the Company's QA/QC protocols (including the insertion of blanks, CRMs, and duplicates) have been applied, the current dataset is not sufficient to fully assess laboratory performance across the entire program. As additional assay results are returned and incorporated, the Company will provide an updated assessment of QA/QC performance to ensure data integrity and reliability.
3 Au rora/Aurora West Zone Mineralization Isoshell : The isoshell is calculated using data derived from length weighted composites from TDG (news releases Sept 02 , Oct 15 and this release) and Amarc Resources a,b,c utilizing a 0.3 g/t Au cut-off grade to generate an implicit model using radial basis function ("RBF") interpolation methodology. This creates a very smooth, highly localised 3D interpretive model that is controlled by nearby data and has limited influence at long distance. This model does not account for geological constraints.

About TDG Gold Corp.
TDG is a major mineral tenure holder in the Toodoggone District of north-central British Columbia, Canada, with 100% ownership of ~50,000 hectares of brownfield and greenfield exploration ground.
In 2023, TDG defined the 5.5 sq.km Greater Shasta-Newberry exploration target area (news release Jan 25, 2023 ) which is located directly adjacent to the recent gold-rich copper porphyry Aurora 1 discovery announced by Freeport McMoran Inc. and Amarc Resources Ltd. (news release Jan 17, 2025 ).
In 2024, TDG also identified new copper-gold target areas over an expanded footprint covering ~53 sq.km known as the ‘Baker Complex' (news release Feb 28, 2024 ), including the North Quartz (news release Apr 02, 2024 ) and Trident (news release Mar 07, 2024 ) copper-gold porphyry targets.
TDG's other Toodoggone projects within the property package include the former producing, gold-silver Shasta and gold-silver-copper Baker mines, which produced intermittently between 1981-2012, and the historical high-grade gold Mets developed prospect, all of which are road accessible and, combined, have over 65,000 m of historical drilling. These projects have been advanced through compilation of historical data, new geological mapping, geochemical and geophysical surveys and, at Shasta, 13,250 m of modern HQ drill testing of the known mineralization occurrences and their potential extensions. In 2025, TDG published an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for Shasta (news release Jan 08, 2025 ), which remains open at depth and along strike.
In July 2025, TDG closed the acquisition of Anyox Copper Ltd. ("Anyox", news release July 14, 2025 ) which holds a combination of crown grants (100% owned and optioned) and mineral claims totaling over 10,000 hectares including the former producing Hidden Creek copper-gold mine – all located within the Anyox peninsula at the southern tip of B.C.'s Golden Triangle. Anyox gives TDG access to a volcanogenic massive sulphide horizon within a significant past-producing district with copper-gold-lead-zinc-silver potential.
TDG is well-funded with the priority exploration focus in 2025 to test for potential extensions of Aurora 1 -style mineralization onto TDG's 100%-owned GSN project.
