The existing program includes the ongoing exploration of the A-Po Zone on sections spaced every 50 m between sections 120+00 E and 450+00 E, at vertical depths varying from 300 to 500 m.
On a majority of the sections, three typical holes have been drilled at the same site: a 485 m hole at −50°, a 560 m hole at −58°, and a 650 m hole at −68°. On three sections, three 1,000 m holes have also been added at −70° to test the same target at a vertical depth of 850 m; these holes will be drilled toward the end of the program.
So far, drilling has been finished on sections 120+00 E, 150+00 E, 200+00 E, and 250+00 E. The program is only in its early stages, but the A-Po Zone has already been intersected in various locations.
Visual observations indicate a zone of reasonable thickness, mostly over 10 m, where some of the intersections are mineralized in sulfides across a length of over 20 m. TomaGold has also intersected the A, B and C mineralized zones, already known and partially mined in the past. In general, these zones are less than 1 m thick.
TomaGold achieved superior drill results from its 2,502 m winter 2020–2021 program, with a number of high-grade gold and copper values, including 47.4 g/t Au, 87.6 g/t Ag, and 7.06% Cu across 1.1 m and 67.1 g/t Au, 40.1 g/t Ag and 2.32% Cu across 0.5 m in hole OBS-20-002; 12.45 g/t Au, 17.7 g/t Ag, and 0.53% Cu across 0.65 m in hole OBS-20-001; and 23.7 g/t Au, and 24.5 g/t Ag across 0.5 m in hole OBS-21-005.

About the Obalski Property
The Obalski property encompasses 345 hectares and is located nearly 2 km to the south of Chibougamau, Quebec. The Obalski deposit was found in 1928 and 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 from 1964 to 1972, and about 9,000 tonnes at a reported grade of 8.5 g/t Au from the D zone in 1984.
