# TDG Intersects High-Grade Copper-Gold Mineralization at AuWEST, Toodoggone *2025-09-02T07:00:00-04:00* TDG Intersects High-Grade Copper-Gold Mineralization at AuWEST, Toodoggone _**First Drillhole Returns 100.0 m of 2.24 g/t Gold & 0.38% Copper Within 240.6 m of 1.23 g/t Gold & 0.23% Copper**_ **WHITE ROCK, BC / [ACCESS Newswire](https://www.accessnewswire.com/)/ September 2, 2025 / ****TDG Gold Corp. (TSXV:TDG)(OTCQX:TDGGF) (the "Company" or "TDG")**is pleased to report preliminary2assays from the first drillhole completed at the AuWEST target within the Company's 100% owned Greater Shasta-Newberry ("GSN") project located in the evolving Toodoggone District of northern British Columbia. Drillhole TDG25-001 was drilled near-vertical and within 20 metres ("m") of the boundary with Freeport McMoRan-Amarc Resources' ("FMAR") AuRORA1gold-rich copper porphyry-style discovery. **Highlights:** - TDG25-001 intersected **100.0 m grading 2.24 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") and 0.38 % copper ("Cu")**from 308.0 m depth, contained within a broader 240.6 m zone grading 1.23 g/t Au and 0.23 % Cu (**Table 1**for drill results summary; **Figures 1a-c**for Core Images). - Four additional diamond drillholes completed **(Figures 2-4)**: TDG25-002 to 585.0 m downhole depth, TDG25-003 to 671.0 m downhole depth, TDG 25-004 to 625.0 m downhole depth, TDG25-005 to 568.0 m all with assays pending. - The first drillhole at southern drill Pad #3, as well as the first step out drillhole at drill Pad #4 to the west of the boundary, are about to commence (based on the pad pattern set out in TDG news release [August 06, 2025](https://pr.report/drz2)). - TDG is well-funded with over $38 million cash in treasury including ~$30 million of flow-through dollars - sufficient to complete the currently proposed 2025 and 2026 programs. **All diamond drillholes so far have intersected similar mineralization**consisting of disseminated and vein hosted sulphides extending over significant intervals and similar in appearance to the mineralization encountered in TDG25-001. Meanwhile, targeting studies continue within TDG's 12 kilometre ("km") defined copper-gold porphyry structural corridor (TDG news release [March 03, 2025](https://pr.report/drz3)), including soil sampling, mapping and >30 line-km of Induced Polarization ("IP") geophysics completed over the entire GSN mineralized system. Results will be published once compiled. Fletcher Morgan, TDG's CEO, commented: _"The Freeport-Amarc AuRORA1discovery ranks among the highest-grade copper-gold porphyry systems recorded in BC, positioning it as a significant new development in the region. Our priority this season is to determine the extent of the AuRORA1-style mineralization on to our 100%-owned GSN project, located just 1 km from the Shasta gold-silver deposit. Preliminary assay results from drillhole #1, along with similar styles of mineralization observed in subsequent holes, point to a very encouraging start. We believe we may be in the early stages of outlining a new high-grade critical mineral system of substantial scale within BC's prolific Golden Horseshoe."_ **Table 1: **_Preliminary2assay results [see Table 2 for drillhole particulars]_ | **Hole** | **From** | **To** | **Interval** | **Au** | **Cu** | **Ag** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | **(m)** | **(m)** | **(m)** | **(g/t)** | **(%)** | **(g/t)** | | TDG25-001 | 238.4 | 479.0 | 240.6 | 1.23 | 0.23 | 1.8 | | _**including**_ | **308.0** | **408.0** | **100.0** | **2.24** | **0.38** | **2.7** | _* Intervals are core-length weighted. True width is unknown._ _** Composite results were built using 0.30 g/t Au and/or 1,000 ppm Cu cut-off, although there may be intervals within the composite below 0.30 g/t Au and/or 1,000 ppm Cu._ _*** Calculated composites are truncated to two decimal places for Au/Cu & to one decimal place for Ag._ _**** Calculated composites may not sum due to rounding._ Assays for 510.0 - 645.0 m (end of hole) are still pending but are not expected to show significant mineralization. **Geology & Core Images** The geological and hydrothermal characteristics of AuWEST discovery hole TDG25-001 are broadly consistent with generalized models for porphyry Cu-Au-Ag deposits in the Toodoggone. Mineralization is hosted by altered andesitic tuff. High grade mineralization has an association with magnetite alteration and with a younger, overprinting, pervasive quartz-sericite/chlorite-pyrite alteration. Copper mineralization is mainly stockwork-style chalcopyrite (**Figure 1a**), and precious metal mineralization has not yet been visually identified (too fine grained). The IP signature appears to be related to disseminated sulphides that overlie Cu-Au mineralization. The style of mineralization in TDG25-001 is broadly similar in appearance to that encountered in subsequent drillholes in the AuWEST target area (**Figures 1b-c**). ![](https://app.accessnewswire.com/imagelibrary/45f74f73-5c73-4e14-a4ca-7323facabd4
