TDG Extends Southern Limits of Aurora Complex Mineralization 1.25 g/t Au, 0.33% Cu over 128.7 metres
Discovery extension at Aurora West offsets high exploration burn as TDG attempts to delineate district scale.
The news release dated January 13, 2026, reports additional Phase I drilling results from the Aurora West zone within the Greater Shasta-Newberry (GSN) project. The highlight is hole TDG25-013, which intersected 128.7 metres of 1.25 g/t gold (Au) and 0.33% copper (Cu). This hole successfully extended known mineralization 100 metres to the south. Additionally, the company reported visual mineralization in hole TDG25-020 from approximately 710 metres to 820 metres downhole; however, assays for this interval are still pending. The winter 2026 drilling program has mobilized to complete paused holes and test further extensions of the Aurora West and Shasta complexes.
The news is material and positive as it confirms the continuity of the Aurora West discovery and successfully expands its footprint. - Extension of Mineralization: Extending the zone 100 metres south demonstrates that the system is not yet closed and remains robust in scale. - Continuity: The grades (1.25 g/t Au and 0.33% Cu) are consistent with earlier 2025 results (e.g., hole TDG25-001 at 2.24 g/t Au and TDG25-009 at 1.26 g/t Au), suggesting a coherent high-grade core within the larger porphyry system. - Strategic Momentum: Reporting visual mineralization in a deep hole (TDG25-020) over a 110-metre interval provides a significant "hook" for investors while waiting for laboratory assays. - De-risking: The program is fully funded through the winter, reducing immediate financing risk during a period of active news flow.
TDG Gold Corp. is a Canadian explorer focused on the Toodoggone district of British Columbia. Its flagship project is the Greater Shasta-Newberry (GSN) project, which includes the former-producing Shasta gold-silver mine. The company's focus shifted in 2025 to copper-gold porphyry exploration following the neighboring "Aurora" discovery by Freeport-McMoRan and Amarc Resources. TDG also holds the Anyox Copper Project, a past-producing VMS district on the BC coast, and the Baker Complex.
