June 8, 2023 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Thunderstruck Resources Ltd. (“The Company”) is pleased to announce that recent data compilation on the company’s Rama copper/gold porphyry indicates an anomalous signature extending 2.5 km x 2 km and open in all directions.

Previous interpretations had indicated an anomalous zone of 800 meters in diameter.

The expansion of the Rama target comes with the addition of historic sampling data done by Anglo in the 1970s, as well as recent work by Thunderstruck establishing a clear link between higher-level, gold-rich disseminated mineralisation located at high-elevations on the Senikura ridge to the south (see Figure 1). In short, both prospect areas now appear to represent the same very large, porphyry-related hydrothermal system.

The Company’s recently hired in-house geologist, Huw Williams, who will be based in Fiji, is highly experienced in both epithermal and porphyry systems.

“We welcome Huw to the Thunderstruck team, and are thrilled to have such an experienced geologist who loves to be in the field. Huw brings a wealth of experience in both epithermal deposits like our Liwa asset and porphyries like Rama. He is based in Fiji, and heads to the field this week to oversee our Liwa and Rama exploration efforts

About Rama

Rama is a classic Cu-Au porphyry system akin to Newcrest’s Namosi (900Mt @ 0.43% Cu & 0.15g/t Au, based on 1995 economics and feasibility studies), located 30 km to the east in similar aged and style of rocks (see Figure 2). Rama’s Cu-Au (chalcopyrite-bornite-pyrite) mineralisation is spatial and temporally associated with secondary magnetite alteration and features classic porphyry-related alteration zonation, including potassic and phyllic (sericitic) alteration.

Geochemistry collected across the Rama area historically by Anglo, and more recent data collected by Thunderstruck at the southern Senikura zone, indicates extensive disseminated gold mineralisation with a partially exposed porphyry system and open in all directions.
