Porphyry Style Mineralization Intersected At Oxide Creek


WHITE ROCK, BC - TDG Gold Corp. reported on its exploration program at the earn-in Oxide Peak Project in the Toodoggone district of north-central British Columbia. The program included over 1,000 meters (m) of diamond drilling in two holes at the Oxide Creek target, along with airborne hyperspectral analysis covering the entirety of the Oxide Peak property. Oxide Creek represents a highly prospective target for the discovery of a porphyry copper style deposit, with stream and rock sampling indicating the typical zonation of a copper (Cu) enriched core surrounded by zinc and lead on the peripheries, highly sulfidized (pyrite) and quartz-sericite alteration giving a common QSP signature, evidence of magnetic destruction common in large hydrothermal systems and clay mineral assemblages that are zoned, and coincident with, anomalous Cu +/- gold ("Au") mineralization. The two drillholes completed in 2022 provide a third dimension to the alteration, mineralization and mineral assemblages seen on surface, suggesting the presence of a large-scale mineralizing system nearby.

The Oxide Peak mineral tenures comprise over 8,000 hectares of highly prospective mineral claims located adjacent and contiguous to the north of TDG's former producing gold-silver Baker mine property. TDG has identified multiple exploration targets on the Oxide Peak Project, including Drybrough and Oxide Creek.

Chris Dail, Technical Consultant, said, "Our initial drill test of the large Oxide Peak system is encouraging with visible alteration over 200 m of vertical extent in intensely sulfidized rock, associated with highly anomalous copper, zinc and molybdenum concentrations throughout both drillholes. The large and coincident geophysical and geochemical anomalies on the property are open in both directions, down dip and we have yet to test the larger copper in soil anomaly and outcropping of porphyry copper style alteration found downhill from the target we drilled in 2022."
