News Releases

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 15, 2021) - Thunderstruck Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AWE) is pleased to announce the commencement of Phase 1 of its 2021 exploration program on its Korokayiu high grade zinc/copper asset in Fiji. This marks the third year of funding from joint venture partner JOGMEC (Japan, Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation). Phase 1 will include soil sampling and geophysics over several known targets to determine Phase 2 drilling objectives.

Bryce Bradley, President and CEO of Thunderstruck Resources, commented, "Road clearance will be completed this week, and the soil sampling program will commence on Monday. We're pleased that MINDECO (Mitsui Mineral Development Engineering Co., Ltd.) will return to Fiji to execute their IP program after which time we will use geochemical and geophysical results to determine drill targets for later in the season."

SOIL AND GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS TARGET HIGH PRIORITY ZONES

Exploration underway to identify VMS mineralization over 7.5 km along strike

The next phase of exploration includes:

  1. Soil sampling at high priority prospects: Kula Creek, Echo Creek, Rotorua, Nancy, Kalia, Ruve and Palu Creek (Figure 1)
  2. 4 line km of Induced Polarity (IP) geophysical surveys.

SOIL SAMPLING

The 2021 exploration season has begun with the start of a focused soil sampling campaign of over 1500 samples. Programs will develop a geochemical profile over approximately 7.5 km of prospective ground at Korokayiu. The study will focus on base metals associated with Volcanic Massive Sulphide (VMS) mineralization over seven presently known target areas; Kula Creek, Echo Creek, Rotorua, Nancy, Kalia, Ruve and Palu Creek (Figure 1).

Echo, Ruve and Palu Creek prospects were highlighted during recent (2019-2020) exploration seasons through drilling of the discovery outcrop and ongoing geologic mapping and geophysical efforts. They occur 500-1000 m NE along strike from the discovery zone highlighted by Drill hole WLK17; which intersected 13.8% zinc (Zn), 2.94% copper (Cu), 114 grams-per-tonne silver (g/t Ag), and 1.08 g/t gold (Au) over a drill core interval of 11 metres (Figure 2) (see press release dated January 30, 2020).

Echo Creek was also highlighted by ongoing IP surveys which identified resistivity anomalies between 300 and 700 meters NE along strike from the discovery outcrop (see press release dated April 12, 2021).

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 12, 2021) - Thunderstruck Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AWE) (OTC: THURF) ("Thunderstruck" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from its Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey conducted by Japan's Mitsui Mineral Development Engineering Co. (MINDECO) at its Korokayiu Zinc/Copper project in Fiji. The results of the program have delineated multiple encouraging conductive anomalies over a 1.5 kilometer corridor.

"The ability to overlay geophysics on current data has been an exciting process to say the least. Our MINDECO technical team and JV partner Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) believe this IP could be the key to unlocking substantial value at Korokayiu," commented Thunderstruck CEO Bryce Bradley. "Having JOGMEC fund this third year of exploration is a strong signal of the potential they see at Korokayiu and we can't be more pleased to be on this discovery journey together."

The Company has completed a total of 6 line-kilometers of an ongoing pole-dipole IP ground geophysics survey designed to test both conductivity and resistivity. The program, comprised of 4 lines run both parallel and perpendicular to the mineralized VMS lens at Korokayiu should provide a 3-dimensional view below surface and support future drill targeting. Initial review has highlighted prospective areas both to the southwest and northeast of the discovery outcrop and is coincident with known soil/rock samples, and drill results.

Further, results of the survey have complemented the physical property studies on 43 core samples at Korokayiu which outlined resistivity as a key identifying feature of massive sulphides which predictably provide a resistivity response of less than 50 Ohms. An additional 4 IP line-kilometers are scheduled to begin in June 2021.

In addition, the resistivity and chargeability anomalies have been shown to extend at least 175 meters south-west along strike from the discovery outcrop. Line04 (figure 1) is perpendicular to the strike along a favourable horizon 175 meters south-west of the discovery outcrop and displays resistivity and chargeability features coincident with the strike and dip of mineralized horizons intersected in 2019 drilling highlighted by intercept 6.3 m grading 14.5% zinc (Zn) (see press release dated December 11, 2019).

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 18, 2021) -  Thunderstruck Resources Ltd. (OTC: THURF) (TSXV: AWE): (The "Company") is pleased to give an update on its Fiji exploration assets.

Highlights

  • Positive results from drilling at Korokayiu Joint Venture (JV) zinc-copper volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) project leads joint venture partner to expand program, including initiation of metallurgical testing.
  • Rama copper-gold porphyry project: Management is working with multiple interested parties to secure a joint venture to fund the next phase of work.
  • Drilling is planned for June 2021 at the Liwa gold/silver project.

Korokayiu Zinc-Copper VMS

Initial scout drilling, at the Korokayiu VMS prospect has intersected anomalous zinc grades 275 meters north-east along strike from the discovery outcrop, extending the known mineralized horizon intersected in the 2019 drill programs (see press release January 30, 2020) which outlined a significant zinc-copper-silver-gold VMS system.

Based on these positive results, the joint venture partner Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) is presently working with Thunderstruck on details of a comprehensive 2021 Induced Polarity (IP) geophysical survey, soil geochemistry and drill program with Mitsui Mineral Development Engineering Co., Ltd. (MINDECO).

Drill hole WLK19A intersected 2.97% Zinc (Zn) and 26.6 grams-per-tonne Silver (g/t Ag), over a drill core interval of 5.42 meters (Table 1). This first hole into a new target zone is highly encouraging. The mineralization is hosted by intensely altered fragmental volcanoclastic dacite hosting sphalerite, chalcopyrite and pyrite mineralization. Drill hole WLK19A was designed to test coincident gravity, structural and soil anomalies (Figure 1).

Six line-kilometres of follow up IP surveys were conducted during late 2020 over prospects highlighted by previous drilling (including WLK19A), soil sampling, and detailed mapping. The IP surveys have been directed at delineating targets within areas of known base metal mineralization on the Korokayiu prospect including: Wainaleka (the discovery outcrop), Kula Creek, Nancy, Kalia, Rotorua, Kove Kove, Echo Creek, as well as Ruve and Palu Creek (see press release May 21, 2020). Results of IP surveys are currently being processed. These multiple targets are consistent with typical VMS-type deposits which typically occur in clusters.

Metallurgic processing test work is also underway on material garnered from the discovery outcrop, highlighted by drill hole WLK17 with 11 meters of 13.77% Zn, 2.94% Copper (Cu), 113.7 g/t Ag and 1.08 grams-per-tonne Gold (Au) (Table 1). It is highly encouraging that the joint venture partner has undertaken metallurgical testing at this stage of the exploration program.

Bryce Bradley, Thunderstruck's President/CEO, stated "We will have 2 drill programs in 2021, on our Liwa gold/silver and Korokayiu zinc/copper assets, it's a positive situation in a challenging time."
