TDG Continues Expanding Aurora West and Identifies New Porphyry Target
TDG Proves Porphyry Scale at Aurora West as Drilling Hits Wide Gold-Copper Zones
The most recent news release (February 4, 2026) reports the final results from the 2025 drilling program at the Aurora West Zone, part of the Greater Shasta-Newberry (GSN) project in British Columbia. Key highlights include: - Hole TDG25-012: 115.0 metres (m) grading 1.10 g/t Au. - Hole TDG25-017: 32.3m grading 1.38 g/t Au. - Hole TDG25-020: 86.3m grading 0.49 g/t Au (a significant step-out). - The discovery of a new porphyry-style alteration zone approximately 600m north of the Aurora Complex, suggesting the system is larger than previously modeled. - The company currently has two rigs active for a winter 2026 drilling program.
The news is Material - Positive as it confirms the continuity and scale of the Aurora West Zone. - Continuity: The results from holes like TDG25-012 (1.10 g/t Au over 115m) demonstrate that the high-grade core identified earlier in 2025 (Hole TDG25-001: 2.24 g/t Au over 100m) is not an isolated pocket. - Scale: The identification of porphyry alteration 600m north of known mineralization materially increases the exploration footprint. - Operational De-risking: Maintaining active rigs through the winter suggests a strong treasury and high geological confidence, providing a continuous news catalyst. - Comparison to Projections: In December 2025, TDG projected a C$20M treasury for 2026 and aimed to prove the "scale potential." These results deliver on that strategic promise, though the market's reception has been muted compared to the September 2024 price spikes.
TDG Gold Corp. is focused on the Toodoggone Production Corridor in BC. - Flagship Project: Greater Shasta-Newberry (GSN). It includes the former-producing Shasta mine and the Aurora West discovery. - Secondary Project: Anyox Copper Project (VMS deposit), acquired in 2025, which provides exposure to copper-rich targets. - Flagship Context: Aurora West is adjacent to the Freeport-McMoRan/Amarc "Aurora" discovery. TDG’s primary thesis is that the mineralization extends onto its 100%-owned ground.
