TUDOR GOLD
COMPLETES INITIAL MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE AT TREATY CREEK 19.4
MILLION OUNCES OF 0.74 GPT AUEQ OF MEASURED AND INDICATED MINERAL
RESOURCES AND 7.9 MILLION OUNCES OF 0.79 GPT AUEQ OF INFERRED
MINERAL RESOURCES
VANCOUVER,
BC, March
9th,
2021 --
InvestorsHub NewsWire -- - Tudor Gold Corp. (TSXV:
TUD) (Frankfurt: TUC) (the
"Company"
or "Tudor
Gold")
is pleased
to present
results of the Initial Mineral
Resource Estimate for the Goldstorm and Copper Belle
Zones at their flagship property,
Treaty Creek. The Property is located within the heart of the Golden
Triangle of Northwestern British Columbia which is on-trend
from
Seabridge's KSM Project
located
five kilometres southwest of the
Goldstorm
Zone.
A total of 218
drill holes totaling
105,658.8 metres were used in the Mineral Resource
Estimate completed by P&E Mining Consultants
Inc. (P&E).
The
constraining open-pit shell
contains
14.15 million ounces of Measured
and Indicated gold equivalent ounces
("AuEq") at an average grade of
0.72 gpt AuEq and 5.26 million Measured and
Indicated
AuEq
ounces at an
average grade of 0.80
gpt
AuEq
for the
out-of-pit Mineral Resources.
Cut-off
grades of
0.30 gpt AuEq were used inside the constraining open-pit shell and a higher cut-off grade
of 0.46 gpt AuEq was used for the
out-of-pit
Mineral
Resource Estimate which includes
underground constrained blocks.
The
Goldstorm
Zone
remains
open in
all directions and at depth. The effective date of
the Mineral Resource Estimate is
March 1,
2021.
A Technical Report prepared in accordance
with National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral
Projects, will follow within 45 days of this news release and this
will be posted on SEDAR and the Company`s website.
Tudor
Gold's Vice President of Exploration
and Project
Development, Ken Konkin,
P.Geo.,
states: "We are very pleased with the results obtained from our Initial Mineral Resource
Estimate. Only 10-12 % of the gold equivalent values
are attributed to silver and copper
mineralization indicating a strong
gold-dominate
system. However, due to the immense volume of
the system, it contains
large
quantities
of silver and
copper. Further studies are required to investigate the potential
economic impact of these two metals. Our preliminary
metallurgical test work shows excellent gold
recoveries to a gravity + flotation concentrate.
From four composite tests, gold recoveries averaged
96.2% in pyrite
concentrates with overall gold recoveries
after concentrate
extraction expected to be on the order of
88%. The mineralogical studies
also demonstrated that no deleterious elements such as
As, Sb or Hg were detected
within the Goldstorm and Copper Belle
Zones. The four tests
were carried out
by BV Minerals Metallurgical
Division and supervised by
metallurgical
consultant Frank
Wright,
P.Eng.
Our plans
for 2021
are to
complete the drilling of the
Goldstorm
Zone; to define the limits of the
300 Horizon, the CS-600 and DS-5 Zones. In-addition,
diamond drilling
is planned for the Eureka and Perfect Storm Zones. We believe that
the Treaty Creek
Property contains excellent potential
for continued discovery of gold-silver-copper systems
such Goldstorm."
Mineral
Estimate Highlights
include:
-
The
classifications
of
Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral
Resources
for gold,
silver, copper and gold-equivalents and their
respective
tonnage
are
listed
in Table
1 below.
In
addition
to the
17.33
million
ounces of gold
Measured
and Indicated Mineral
Resource
and
7.22
million
ounces of gold Inferred Mineral
Resource,
there
are 93.41
million ounces of silver
estimated
as
Measured
and Indicated
Mineral
Resources with an
additional 40.57 million ounces of Inferred
silver
Mineral
Resource.
The
Measured
and Indicated Mineral
Resource
also
estimates 1.096
billion
pounds of
copper with an additional 330 million
pounds of
copper as an
Inferred Mineral
Resource.
-
A
bulk
density of 2.80
t/m3 was based
on measurements
taken by P&E during
their field visits.
-
5m
x
5m
x 5m
three-dimensional block
model was used
for the Mineral Resource Estimate.
Measured
Mineral
Resources
are
informed by four of
more drill holes within 100 metres;
Indicated Mineral
Resources are informed by four of
more drill holes within 200 metres.

Mineral Resources
are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic
viability. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially
affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation,
socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.
There is no
certainty that Mineral Resources will be converted to Mineral
Reserves.
-
The Inferred
Mineral Resource in this estimate has a lower level of confidence
than that applied to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be
converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the
majority of the Inferred Mineral Resource could be upgraded to an
Indicated Mineral Resource with continued exploration.
-
The Mineral
Resources in this news release
were estimated in
accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and
Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves,
Definitions (2014) and Best Practices
Guidelines
(2019)
prepared by the
CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by the
CIM Council.
-
Metal prices used
were US$1,625/oz Au, US$19/oz Ag, US$2.80/lb Cu with process
recoveries of 88% Au, 30% Ag and 80%
Cu. A C$16.50/tonne process and
C$2
G&A
cost were
used.
-
The constraining
pit optimization parameters were C$2.50/t mineralized and waste
material mining cost and 50-degree pit slopes with a 0.30
gpt
AuEq
cut-off.
-
The out-of-pit
parameters were at a C$10/t large scale
bulk mining cost.
The out-of-pit Mineral Resource grade blocks were quantified above
the 0.46 gpt AuEq cut-off, below the
constraining pit shell and within the constraining mineralized
wireframes. Out–of-Pit Mineral Resources exhibit continuity and
reasonable potential for extraction by a bulk underground mining
method.

Walter
Storm, President and CEO, stated:
"We
are extremely pleased
with
our
exploration
efforts and the resulting Initial Mineral Resource Estimate
indicating
that Treaty Creek
could be
one of
the world's largest gold discoveries of
the decade. We completed a
very difficult
exploration year under strict
COVID-19 protocols and maintained an excellent
safety record. The Goldstorm Zone remains open on
all fronts and to
depth, and our priority for 2021 will be
to complete the drilling to the Northeast and
Southeast limits as well as
to depth.
The
objective will be to
convert
as much of the 7.9 million ounces of Inferred Mineral Resource averaging 0.79
gpt
AuEq to Measured and Indicated
Resource classifications,
in
addition
to finding
the limits to the mineralized zones within the Goldstorm Zone. Our geological team
is
currently
planning the 2021 exploration program that
will also include drilling of the newly discovered Perfect
Storm Zone as well as the
Eureka Zone. The
goal is to add to the current
Au-Ag-Cu Mineral Resource of Treaty Creek".
QA/QC
Drill core
samples were prepared at the MSA Laboratories ("MSA") Preparation
facility
in Terrace, BC
and assayed at MSA's Geochemical Laboratory in
Langley, BC. Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the
submission of blanks, certified standards and duplicate samples
inserted at regular intervals into the sample stream by Tudor Gold
personnel. MSA Laboratories quality system complies with the
requirements for the International Standards ISO 17025 and ISO
9001. MSA is independent of the Company.

expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including
the Company's plan to file a technical report within 45 days of
this news release, the plan for the Company to complete the
drilling of the Goldstorm
Zone and
define the limits of the 300 Horizon, the CS-600 and DS-5 Zones and
the plan to drill the Perfect Storm Zone
and the
Eureka Zone in 2021. Generally, but not always, forward-looking
information and statements can be identified by the use of words
such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled",
"estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "believes"

phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may",
"could","would",
"might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved" or the
negative connotation thereof.
Such
forward-looking information and statements are based on numerous
assumptions, including among others, that the Company's will file a

will complete the drilling of the Goldstorm
Zone and
will define the limits of the 300 Horizon, the CS-600 and DS-5
