Shotgun Ridge expansion becomes focus of TNR Gold Exploration

TNR Gold Corp (TSE-TNR)

Vancouver B.C.: TNR Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "TNR") expanded their land position at the wholly owned Shotgun Gold project in Alaska. A total of 66 mining claims, each 160 acres, were located over and surrounding the Shotgun Ridge prospect for a total of 10,560 acres (4273.48 hectares). Sixteen of these claims were converted from Traditional Claims to MTRSC Mining Claims (meridian, township, range, section and claim) making the area of new acquisitions equal to 8000 acres (3237.48 hectares).

TNR acquired 100% of the Shotgun Ridge prospect in 2010 following a 50/50 joint venture with Novagold Resources Inc. ("Novagold"). The Traditional Claims were located over the Shotgun Ridge deposit and the Company elected to convert these to MTRSC Mining Claims to simplify administration of the land titles in accordance with Senate Bill 175.

Ground geophysical surveys conducted in 2011 and 2012 by TNR helped to identify structural controls on mineralization at Shotgun Ridge. Drill testing in 2012 confirmed the structural model of mineralization with two drill holes returning mineralized intervals in excess of 200 metres, SR12-56 returned 242 metres averaging 1.25 g/t gold and SR12-57 returned 209 metres averaging 1.02 g/t gold (news release dated 10 October 2012).

  Extrapolating the known mineralized structures into the area surrounding Shotgun Ridge, the Company identified additional areas where similar mineralization may be present and as a result acquired the mineral rights to these adjacent targets. A portion of future exploration work will be conducted in these new areas  beginning by revisiting previously identified gold showings in respect of the new structural models.

The Company is targeting a large tonnage low-grade porphyry system at Shotgun Ridge. Structural repeats, as interpreted from airborne magnetic data and ground geophysical surveys, provide TNR with encouraging targets for future drill testing.

TNR Gold Extends Mineralized Zones At Shotgun With 209 Metres Of 1.02 g/t Gold

 (prnews)

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TNR Gold Corp. (the "Company") (TSX-TNR) is pleased to announce assay results from the second hole of the 2012 drilling program on the Shotgun gold project in Alaska.  Drill hole SR12-57 returned 209 metres averaging 1.02 grams per tonne gold across the full length of the targeted porphyry system. These results include several higher-grade intercepts that confirm the Company's model of mineralization where elevated gold values occur in repeating structural features through the Shotgun Ridge area.

• Drill hole SR12-57 returns mineralized interval of 209 metres averaging 1.02 grams per tonne gold.
• Included within this interval is 61.4m averaging 1.53 g/t Au.
• Combined with SR12-56 (containing a 242m interval with 1.25 grams per tonne gold), the gold mineralization model at Shotgun Ridge is confirmed along strike and down dip.
• Drill hole SR12-57 ended in mineralization at a down hole depth of 300 metres (approximately 150m below the topographic surface).

Drilling Results
Diamond drill hole SR12-57 was drilled at the same orientation as SR06-43, approximately 35m to the southwest (SR06-43 was previously reported to contain 210 metres averaging 1.3 g/t Au). SR12-57 was one of three drill holes drilled in 2012 to test continuation of the mineralized zones encountered in 06-43 along strike and to depth. 12-57 is the first drill hole in a fence below 06-43 and together enhances the Company's understanding of the controls on gold mineralization at Shotgun Ridge.

Three zones are identified by more intense brecciation and increased gold grades within the porphyritic intrusive and correlate well between all 2012 drill holes. These new results, combined with those previously released for SR12-56, significantly reinforce confidence in the specific orientation of the higher-grade southwest dipping mineralized zones and provide a basis for future drill targeting.  The strongest mineralization encountered in hole SR12-57 is coincident with interpreted geophysical anomalies.  The hole, drilled at a 45 degree angle down the side of the ridge, ended in mineralization at a down hole depth of 300m which is approximately 150m below the topographic surface.

Drill targeting was aided by geophysical surveys conducted in 2011. The IP/Resistivity surveys were successful in identifying the position of important, mineralization controlling structures and contacts.  The geophysical surveys were expanded in 2012. The Company believes that the new drill results confirm the orientation of these key structures and the correlation with geophysical anomalies provide a clear targeting method for continued drill programs and future resource delineation.

"We are encouraged by the uniformity of gold grades across the reported intersections and that the averages are not supported by narrow, high grade intervals.  The results build on the success of the 2011 geophysical surveys, and establish an exploration method that can locate buried targets at the Shotgun property.  This is a key step in being able to apply geophysical results from 2012 to planning for the next season of exploration," comments John Harrop, VP Exploration

"The positive results from this year's drilling have significantly elevated the projects' potential and is a major turning point in the exploration at Shotgun Ridge. A previous interpretation of the mineralization at Shotgun showed limited room for expansion. Confirmation of our new model greatly increases the size potential of Shotgun and opens up a number of new zones that will be tested next season," Gary Schellenberg, President and Executive Chairman."

About the Shotgun Gold Project
TNR holds a 100% interest in the Shotgun property located 175 kilometres south of Donlin Creek within the Kuskokwim Gold Belt in southwestern Alaska. This area is emerging as a world-class, multimillion ounce gold district. The Shotgun property includes a number of prospects, including Shotgun Ridge and nearby Winchester. Donlin is an intrusion-associated system and represents one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in the world. The Company believes that there are several key similarities between prospects on the Shotgun property and that of the Donlin Creek gold deposit as well as other important intrusion-associated deposits.

Analytical work was conducted by Inspectorate (A Bureau Veritas Group Company) with prep work performed in their Fairbanks Alaska facility.  Fire assay with ICP-ES finishing was conducted by Acme Analytical laboratories (A Bureau Veritas Group Company) in Vancouver, Canada.  Samples with greater than 10 g/t Au were automatically reanalysed using fire assay with a gravimetric finish.  Both of these laboratories are ISO 9000 certified and in addition Acme has ISO 17025 certification.  TNR Gold inserts certified reference materials and blanks in a quality control procedure that follow industry current best practices.

TNR Gold Intersects 242 Metres of 1.25 g/t Gold on New Geophysical Target at Shotgun Ridge Project

 VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TNR Gold Corp. ("TNR" or the "Company") (TSXV: TNR) is pleased to announce the assay results from the first hole of the drilling program at the Shotgun gold property in Alaska.  Drill hole SR12-56 returned 242 metres averaging 1.25 grams per tonne gold including several higher-grade intercepts.  The 30-day exploration program included 814 metres of drilling and three geophysical survey grids.

• Drill hole SR12-56 returns mineralized interval of 242.22 metres averaging 1.25 grams per tonne gold.
• Included within this interval is 114.22m averaging 1.84 g/t Au.
• Hole ended in mineralization at target depth of 293.22 metres.
• Mineralized zones are open at depth and coincident with geophysical anomalies found in 2011.
• Assays pending for two more holes.

Drilling ResultsDiamond drill hole SR12-56 was oriented parallel and approximately 50m northwest of SR06-43 (previously reported containing 210 metres averaging 1.3 g/t Au).  Three zones identified by more intense brecciation and increased gold grades correlate well between the two holes.  These new results significantly reinforce confidence in the specific orientation of these southwest dipping mineralized higher-grade zones and how to target them with future drilling.  In addition to testing for continuation of mineralized zones encountered in SR06-43, the new hole targeted an untested geophysical anomaly identified by the 3D geophysical survey in 2011.  The strongest mineralization encountered in hole SR12-56 is coincident with where this geophysical anomaly was intersected.  The hole ended in mineralization at target depth of 293.22m.

Drilling targeting was aided by 2011 geophysical surveys results.  Higher grades within the NE-zone in hole 12-56 are associated with a chargeability high feature that suggests the mineralization continues at depth.  Preliminary results of the 2012 geophysical survey are currently being interpreted.

"The Company is extremely pleased with these results and how they support our exploration model for identifying bulk minable gold targets at the Shotgun project.  As reported previously, the geology logged in the drilling correlated well with previous work and looked very encouraging.  The assays in the first hole have started to confirm this" comments John Harrop, VP Exploration.

TNR Gold confirms Mineralization at Shotgun Ridge Drilling in Alaska

TNR Gold Completes Drill Program, Confirms Mineralization Model And Expands Target Area At The Shotgun Gold Project In Alaska (prnews)

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TNR Gold Corp. (the "Company") (TSXV: TNR) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the 2012 exploration drilling and geophysical program on its 100% owned Shotgun Gold Project in Alaska. The 30-day exploration program included 814 metres of drilling in three holes. The geological features observed in the drill core confirm down-dip and along strike extensions of feeder zones discovered in earlier drilling campaigns.

Geophysical surveys that helped to identify the feeder zones were expanded along the ridge and elsewhere within the property during the 2012 work program to guide future drilling.

Drill Program Highlights
Three drill holes totalling 814 metres were completed on the Shotgun Ridge prospect. The drilling was designed to extend the mineralized feeder zones identified in drill hole 06-43 down-dip and along strike. Diamond drill hole 06-43 intersected 210 metres grading 1.3 g/t Au (grams per tonne gold). Higher-grade intervals, within this zone defined the position of structurally controlled feeder zones. The geology, sulphide mineralization and structural features encountered in the 2012 drilling are similar to that found in 06-43. Geochemical assay results are pending.

The feeder zone associated with the higher-grade assays in hole 06-43 was intersected in all three drill holes providing the Company with greater confidence in extending this zone along strike and to depth with further drilling.

"It is encouraging that we see continuity of the intrusive breccia in all three 2012 drill holes. DDH 12-57 was drilled approximately 50 metres NW of 06-43 and both 12-58 and 12-59 were collared approximately 30 metres behind 06-43, intersecting the targeted zone as much as 100 metres down-dip. These results confirm that the structural feature believed to host some of the better mineralization at Shotgun Ridge is continuous over some distance and correlates well with the ongoing interpretations of the geophysics thus is clearly open at depth." comments John Harrop, VP Exploration.

Geophysical anomalies that were interpreted as structural corridors hosting mineralization in the 2011 three-dimensional IP/resistivity survey data were found to be coincident with the interpreted mineralized feeder zones. Additional three-dimensional IP/resistivity surveys were carried out in the 2012 program to expand and further define the correlation between geophysical response and mineralization.

Geophysical Survey Highlights
Following the successful application of three-dimensional IP/resistivity surveys in 2011, SJ Geophysics Ltd. collected three additional grids during the 2012 field season. One grid was centred on a surface geochemical gold anomaly at the Winchester prospect, the southernmost target area along a 35 kilometres discontinuous mineralized trend running south from Shotgun Ridge.

Two other grids were designed to extend the 2011 survey at Shotgun Ridge. The data were collected in a manner where they could be merged with the 2011 surveys and modelled in three dimensions to produce a single comprehensive three-dimensional model of chargeability, resistivity, geology and geochemistry to be used for further target delineation. The geophysical data are being processed and results of the merged surveys are pending.

TNR Gold commences drilling at Shotgun Ridge property in Alaska

Vancouver, British Columbia -- July 2012 -- TNR Gold Corp. (the "Company") Further to the announcement on July 5th, 2012 pertaining to the launch of the Shotgun Gold project in Alaska, TNR is pleased to report that exploration and camp preparation is on schedule for a start of drilling planned for July 15th.

Objectives of the 2012 Shotgun Gold Project include:
• Infill drilling to support a new resource calculation after field season;
• Test new geophysical targets identified in 2011;
• Further test at depth feeder zones discovered in 2006, and
• Geophysical surveys of other ridges for new, structural, drill targets.

The geophysics contractor is setting up the first of several 3D resistivity and chargeability survey areas across the property at Winchester, the southern-most prospect of the Shotgun Project. Ground based magnetics are also planned in conjunction with the primary survey. Locations of additional geophysical grids will include extension of the 2011 survey at Shotgun Ridge to further define features identified at the edge of that survey.

In anticipation of the project financing earlier this year, TNR management utilized in-house and contract services to effectively complete planning and permitting while assembling a field team for geology, drilling, geophysics and support services. TNR continues to apply its strategic plan to be able to respond quickly to opportunities and build shareholder value.

Mr. John Harrop, VP of Exploration notes, "We are fortunate to be drilling a zone that is within Shotgun Ridge and not under a valley. This geometry means that there is less cover to drill through than we would encounter in a valley bottom and that translates to a cost saving in drilling, and better resolution in the geophysical surveys. Ultimately, should an economic deposit be proven here, we expect it to reduce the footprint and benefit mining efficiency."

About the Shotgun Gold Project

TNR holds a 100% interest in the Shotgun property located 175 kilometres south of Donlin Creek within the Kuskokwim Gold Belt in southwestern Alaska. This area is emerging as a world-class gold district hosting more than 40 million ounces of aggregated gold resources.

Donlin is an intrusion-associated system and represents one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in the world. The Company believes that there are several key similarities between prospects on the Shotgun property and that of the Donlin Creek gold deposit as well as other important intrusion-associated deposits.

Previous work at Shotgun Ridge by NovaGold Resources Inc. in 1998 estimated an historical resource of 980,000 ounces grading 0.93 grams per tonne (g/t) at a cut-off of 0.5 g/t (This estimate was made prior to NI43-101 and has not been verified by a Qualified Person.

TNR Gold drilling At Shotgun Ridge Gold Project, Alaska as TSX Approves $3.5 Million Loan Agreement

Jun 12, 2012 by PR Newswire

 TNR Gold Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE - TNR) is pleased to provide an update on the planned exploration program at its Shotgun property in Alaska. The program will commence immediately and will include an estimated 1500m of drilling at Shotgun Ridge prior to a resource calculation updating the historical estimate. 3D geophysical surveys are also planned for Shotgun Ridge and other areas within the property where there are extensive, but currently unexplained geochemical gold anomalies.

In addition to returning 210.5m gold grades averaging 1.29 g/t, including 27.4 m of 2.3 g/t Au, drill hole 06-43 significantly changed the Company's understanding of structural control at Shotgun Ridge and demonstrated that mineralization is still open at depth (Technical Report on the Shotgun-Winchester Project, SW Alaska, 2008). Following exploration at other prospects on the Property, the Company returned to Shotgun Ridge in 2011 to conduct a geophysical orientation survey across the area containing the drilling and historical resource. 3D resistivity and chargeability results show previously unknown structures within the ridge that appear to correlate well with geology and mineralization identified in drilling. The current program will use the 3D geophysical results to assist targeting mineralization to depth along southwest dipping feeder zones identified in hole 06-43. (Further details on the project can be found on our website at www.tnrgoldcorp.com/i/pdf/TNR_Shotgun_MAY2012_Public.pdf)

"Drill hole 06-43 has clearly been the most encouraging hole at Shotgun Ridge. We are optimistic that the current drilling program will continue to increase this mineralized zone at depth which will be reflected in the subsequent resource estimate" comments John Harrop, VP Exploration

With the Company's expertise, resources and industry network, it is well positioned to aggressively identify, source, explore, partner and continue to expand its project portfolio.

TNR's recently listed subsidiary, International Lithium Corp. (TSX:ILC), demonstrated the successful application of TNR's business model in which TNR shareholders benefited from a unit distribution upon spin-out of TNR's lithium and rare metals projects. TNR remains a large shareholder in ILC at 25.5% of outstanding shares.

At its core, TNR provides significant exposure to gold and copper through its holdings in Alaska and Argentina; and teamed with the recent acquisitions of rare-earth elements and iron ore projects in Canada confirm TNR's commitment to continued generation of in-demand projects, while diversifying its markets and building shareholder value.

TNR Gold Corporate Update Post Lithium Spinoff

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 16, 2011) -TNR Gold Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TNR). The Company is pleased to provide our shareholders with an update on TNR Gold Corp.'s activities over the past year and an outlook of its objectives for 2011 and beyond.
TNR has recently completed a major endeavour, the successful completion of a plan of arrangement entailing the spin-out of TNR's lithium and rare metals subsidiary, International Lithium Corp (TSX VENTURE:ILC). As a testament to the merits of the projects, ILC was able to solicit and secure a strategic investor in Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd., a prominent lithium product manufacturer. TNR retains 29% ownership in ILC and will continue to benefit from the future potential of lithium and rare metals.

Following the successful listing of ILC, TNR can now fully focus on the gold and rare earth element ("REE") projects that it has been readying for this juncture. One prime example to the strengthening of TNR's core project portfolio is in the recent consolidation of 100% ownership of the Company's Shotgun gold project in Alaska, from NovaGold. The Shotgun Project is situated in a prolific world class gold region with previous operators estimating a non NI43-101 compliant historical resource of 980,000 ounces grading 0.93 gram per tonne at a cut-off of 0.5g/t Au. TNR's goal for the coming year is dedicated to proving and expanding the mineralization at Shotgun and seeking a major partner to assist in the development of this large gold project.
In Argentina, in addition to the work that our joint venture partners such as La Mancha and NGEX Resources are performing on our properties, TNR will focus on its El Tapau project, which has experienced limited drill coverage consisting of 7 holes with one reporting a significant intersection of 82 metres grading 0.49% Cu that has not been followed up on. The company has also recently discovered five historic drill holes drilled on or near the property boundaries internal to our large claim concession, which had returned significant grades of gold, silver and copper. This year, the Company will attempt to validate these remarkable historic results as well as drill the untested geophysical anomalies proximal to this zone to demonstrate the significant potential of the property.

In addition, TNR has bolstered its project portfolio and expanded its commodity exposure with the addition of two new properties, the Big Beaver House and Seabrook REE projects. The Big Beaver House boasts one of the largest carbonatite complexes in Ontario at 5 by 5 kms in scale, has experienced limited historic drilling with only a partial suite of REE elements analyzed for and when reanalyzed relatively recently by the Ontario Geological Survey reported Nd+La+Ce grades up to 3,200 ppm indicating significant total REE potential. These early stage REE projects will be explored throughout the summer with the resulting advancement providing the basis to entice a strategic partner to help finance continued development of these assets.

Throughout the last three years, TNR has also been seeking resolution on its ownership status of the Los Azules, an advanced-staged exploration project in San Juan, Argentina which hosts one of the largest undeveloped copper resources in the world.

In May 2011, following a two-day hearing before the British Columbia Supreme Court, TNR and its subsidiary, Solitario Argentina S.A., have been granted leave to amend their pleadings to add a new claim to the litigation (the "New Claim") over the Los Azules project in Argentina. The litigation involves TNR, Minera Andes Inc., MIM Argentina Exploraciones S.A. ("Xstrata") and related entities. The Los Azules project is an advanced exploration project currently reporting a National Instrument 43-101 compliant Inferred Resource.
The New Claim alleges that Xstrata and Minera Andes did not complete the required exploration expenditures required for Xstrata's exercise of its option on April 23, 2007 to acquire certain properties constituting the northern half of the Los Azules project (the "Properties"). On that basis, TNR and Solitario advance a claim of breach of contract and intentional interference with economic relations, and seek the return of the Properties, or alternatively, damages as against the defendants or any of them.

As a result of the New Claim being added to the litigation, the trial scheduled to commence on June 20, 2011 in Vancouver, BC has been adjourned so that documents relating to the New Claim can be produced. A new date for the trial will be set in due course.

In the original Notice of Civil Claim, among other claims, TNR and Solitario seek rectification of a 2004 Exploration and Option Agreement with Xstrata (later assigned to Minera Andes) to restore a right on the part of Solitario to back-in to up to 25% of the Properties any time within 120 days of the production of a feasibility study. Minera Andes and Xstrata oppose rectification and the other relief sought by TNR and Solitario.

TNR will be vigorously defending its legal position and invite all shareholders to learn more about the case proceedings via the publicly available documents. The original Notice of Civil Claim, Application with amended claim, and the Reasons for Judgment on the amendment application are available from the BC Supreme Court registry and database (BC Online) and are hosted on TNR's webpage.
