PROJECT ACTIVITIES IN THE 2021 SEASON
TDG Gold Corporation and TDG BC Assets Corporation (TDG) is now a major holder of mineral tenure in the Toodoggone District with over 23,000 hectares of highly prospective brownfield and greenfield exploration mineral tenure under direct ownership or earn-in agreement.
Drill programs were implemented on Shasta and Oxide Peak for these past-producing sites in 2021 in order to define resources, test geological models, and confirm the accuracy of historical information related to past work. All work was undertaken in consultation with qualified environmental consultants from First Nations firms.
In December of 2019, TDG Gold signed an option agreement with ArcWest Exploration to earn-in to the Oxide Peak project with path to direct ownership. On December 11, 2020, TDG completed its acquisition of the Toodoggone assets of Talisker Resources Ltd. including the former producing Baker and Shasta Mines, the Baker mill, camp, and tailings storage facilities, and the Bot and Mets properties. TDG completed its amalgamation with Kismet Resources Corp. as a way to achieve a public listing for TDG on the TSX Venture Exchange. TDG began trading on December 17, 2020, under “TDG”. The Baker-Shasta Project is located in northern BC approximately 275 km north of Smithers. The project is situated approximately 35 km north of Kemess Mine and less than 20 km east of the historic Lawyers Mine. The former Baker and Shasta gold and silver mines are located on the property, both of which operated intermittently from the early 1980s to 2012 before being placed under care and maintenance.
