Strong
results warrant follow-up 10,000-metre drilling
program,

-- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- TOMAGOLD
CORPORATION (TSXV: LOT) ("TomaGold"
or the "Corporation")
is pleased to
report the initial results of its 2,502-metre drilling program on
its wholly-owned Obalski property, in Chibougamau,
Quebec.
Drilling began in December 2020 and
ended on February 18, 2021. The program
consisted of
seven holes, six of which were drilled on
two separate
sections (450 E and 120
E),
while the
seventh hole was designed to test the
rock type at the eastern property boundary. The goal of
the
program was to
better define the A-Po Zone on sections 450 E and 120
E, located 330 metres
apart, with very little exploration
work in between. Drilling was also aimed at
intersecting the A, C and D zones, some of which have already been
mined underground and the subject of minor surface
work.
The following table shows
the gold,
silver and copper results for
the first three
holes, on section 450
E:

*The width shown
is the core length. True width is estimated at 65-70% of core length.
"These are great results for our
first three holes on Obalski, as they show that the property
hosts
high gold, silver
and copper grades, warranting
a
larger
drilling
program to define
its
potential," said
David Grondin, President and CEO of TomaGold. "Once we have the additional
input from the three holes drilled on section 120 E, we'll prepare
a follow-up 10,000-metre diamond drilling program that we will
start in the spring. The new program
could
yield
some
very
interesting results, as our technical team will
focus on targets both along strike and at
depth that appear to have been
overlooked
by the previous
owners."
Sample
preparation
and analysis
TomaGold has implemented
and is adhering to a strict Quality
Assurance/Quality Control program for the present drilling
program. The core is sawed in half, with one half kept as a witness
sample in Chibougamau and the other half shipped directly by bus to
ALS Chemex in Val-d'Or, Quebec. The half core is then ground to
1/8" and split into two halves by ALS. One half is kept as a
witness (reject) by ALS in Val-d'Or. ALS pulverizes the other half
at 150 mesh and takes a 50 g sample for analysis. The rest is kept
at ALS and identified as "pulp".
The technical content of this
press release has been reviewed and approved by André Jean, P.Eng., the Corporation's Director of
Exploration and a qualified person under

The Obalski property, which covers 345
hectares, including a 33-hectare mineral
concession, lies about
2 km south of Chibougamau,
Quebec. Discovered in 1928,
the Obalski
deposit produced 100,273 tonnes at grades of
1.14% Cu, 2.08 g/t Au and 6.04 g/t Ag from the A zone between
1964 to 1972, and
around 9,000 tonnes
at a reported
grade of 8.5 g/t Au from the D zone in
1984 (Source: SIGEOM and Camchib
