Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 15, 2021) - Thunderstruck Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AWE) (OTC: THURF) ("Thunderstruck" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it is in the final planning stages of an extensive exploration program on its Liwa Creek gold/silver prospect on Viti Levu, the main island of Fiji. The proposed program will be supervised by Oliver Victor, who completed his Master of Science degree on The Geology, Alteration and Mineralisation of the Liwa Creek Epithermal System, Fiji at the University of Exeter. (See October 11, 2019 press release)

"It's not very often in our industry that you are able to hire a professional so well suited to a specific project. We can't wait to have Oliver arrive this Saturday, quarantine, and begin his work at Liwa thereafter," commented Thunderstruck President and CEO, Bryce Bradley. "Our long anticipated Liwa gold/silver exploration campaign is about to begin, and we are looking forward to results from our maiden drill program on this exciting prospect."

Mr. Victor will be leading the team at Liwa, planning and executing the 2021 program, which will include mapping, rock/soil geochemistry and drilling. (See December 11, 2020 press release). The team has recently completed 13 km of road-clearing with a final two kilometers remaining to reach the Liwa camp.

Details of the Company's expanded program at Liwa will be outlined in more detail once Mr. Victor has settled in country over the coming week.
