TDG Discovers New '4300 Zone' VMS Lens Below Former Hidden Creek Mine at Anyox Project
TDG Validates Anyox VMS Potential with New High-Grade Discovery Below Historic Mine
The most recent news (Feb 23, 2026) announces the discovery of the "4300 Zone," a new VMS lens located beneath the historic Hidden Creek Mine at the Anyox Project. Key drill results from hole ANY-25-002 include 25.08 metres of 2.1% CuEQ, with a higher-grade core of 14.80 metres at 2.5% CuEQ. Management indicates that the current drilling likely hit the "halo" or outer limits of the lens, suggesting potential for increased thickness and grade toward the center. This follows the Feb 4, 2026, news which reported broad gold intercepts at the Aurora West zone (e.g., 115m of 1.10 g/t Au), confirming the scale of the porphyry system in the Toodoggone district.
The Anyox discovery is Material - Positive. While the company has spent the last year highlighting the porphyry potential at Greater Shasta-Newberry (GSN), the Anyox results provide immediate high-grade "proof of concept" for the VMS model. - Resource Potential: The 4300 Zone is open in all directions. Given that the historic Hidden Creek Mine produced 22 million tons at 1.57% Cu, discovering a new lens of similar or higher grade (2.1% CuEQ) below the old workings is a significant valuation driver. - Strategic Shift: The news confirms that TDG is successfully managing two district-scale opportunities (GSN Porphyry and Anyox VMS). - Comparison to Expectations: The results are in line with the "high-grade" narrative management has promoted since the Anyox acquisition in July 2025. However, the stock price has retraced significantly from its September 2025 highs ($1.88), suggesting the market is currently cautious despite the technical success.
TDG Gold Corp. is focused on the "Golden Horseshoe" of British Columbia. - Flagship 1 (GSN): The Greater Shasta-Newberry project, featuring the Shasta gold-silver deposit (Indicated: 515k oz AuEq @ 1.35 g/t). Recent focus has shifted to the Aurora West porphyry discovery adjacent to Freeport-McMoRan/Amarc ground. - Flagship 2 (Anyox): A 100% owned, past-producing VMS copper-gold district with tidewater access.
