Executive Summary

  • Thunder Gold Corp. completed a 13‑hole, 1,773 m Phase Two drill program that confirmed the consistency and scalability of the Tower Mountain gold system.
  • All‑in drilling costs were less than C$250 per metre, placing the program in the lowest‑cost decile nationally.
  • Significant intercepts include 2.54 g/t Au over 24 m (TM25‑178), 1.87 g/t Au over 16.5 m (TM25‑180), 0.83 g/t Au over 56.5 m (TM25‑170) and a spectacular high‑grade zone of 327 g/t Au over 1 m (TM25‑176).

Key Details

  • Program Scope: 13 holes, 1,773 m drilled across four targets (3738‑Target, P‑Target, A‑Target, H‑Target) between 15 Jun 2025 and 10 Jul 2025.
  • Cost Efficiency: All‑in drilling cost < C$250 / m (lowest 10th percentile in Canada).
  • Success Rate: 12 of 13 holes intersected significant gold mineralization within 150 m of surface (92% success).

3738‑Target (4 holes, 1,008 m)

  • TM25‑178: 2.54 g/t Au over 24 m; broader zone 1.25 g/t Au over 103.5 m.
  • TM25‑180: 1.87 g/t Au over 16.5 m (peak) within a 0.58 g/t Au over 187.5 m interval.
  • TM25‑181: 0.64 g/t Au over 13.5 m.

P‑Target (4 holes, 333 m)

  • TM25‑170: 0.83 g/t Au over 56.5 m; includes a 17.80 g/t Au over 1.5 m high‑grade spike.
  • Remaining holes returned 0.47–0.71 g/t Au over 60–65 m intervals, confirming continuity with historic western drilling.

A‑Target (4 holes, 357 m)

  • TM25‑174: 0.65 g/t Au over 12 m; additional sub‑intervals 1.35 g/t Au over 4.5 m.
  • TM25‑175: 0.78 g/t Au over 33 m; includes 1.69 g/t Au over 6 m.
  • High‑grade specimen: TM25‑176 intersected 327 g/t Au over 1 m (visible dendritic gold) within a broader 4.22 g/t Au over 82.5 m zone.

H‑Target (1 hole, 75 m)

  • TM25‑182: 0.41 g/t Au over 19.5 m from surface; higher interval 0.73 g/t Au over 6 m, confirming dip direction and continuity with P‑Target.

  • Quality Assurance/Control: Standard NQ diamond drilling, 10% standards/blanks, assays performed by Activation Laboratories Ltd. using fire‑assay/AAS with gravimetric verification for >5 g/t Au and screen‑metallics for >30 g/t Au.

  • Qualified Person: Wes Hanson, P.Geo., President & CEO (NI 43‑101).
