Thunder Gold Corp. Reports Positive Channel Sampling Results At Tower Mountain Gold Property
Thunder Gold Corp. provide the following results from saw-cut, continuous, channel samples at the P-Target, within its 100%-owned, 2,500 hectare, Tower Mountain Gold Property, located in the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt, 50 kilometres west of the port city of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The results, from continuous, saw-cut, channel samples, were collected from newly exposed outcrop at the P-Target, on the eastern margin of the Tower Mountain Intrusive Complex ("TMIC"). Two continuous channel samples (20-25 metres in length), spaced 7.5 metres apart, were established perpendicular to the observed strike of the exposed mineralization of interest. A third, shorter channel (approx. 5.0 metres in length), was also completed. The channels were cut to a depth of about 5.0 to 7.0 centimetres using a man-portable diamond blade saw. Samples were collected on roughly 1.0 metre intervals (horizontal) along each channel. A total of fifty-one (51) channel samples were collected and assayed from the P-Target outcrop. Results range from a low of 0.054 g/t Au to a high of 25.3 g/t Au. Eighty-two percent (82%) of the population returned a grade greater than 0.30 g/t Au, a frequency rate three (3) times higher than that demonstrated by the historical diamond drill population of 40,000 samples. The mapping and sampling at the P-Target, when considered in conjunction with the recently completed soil sampling program, suggests potential to extend the P-Target mineralization over 500 metres to the southeast, coincident with a strong to moderate gold-in-soil anomaly. The Company plans to complete eight (8) shallow diamond drill holes targeting this trend. A total of four drill sections, spaced twenty-five (25) metres apart, are planned to the southeast, along the observed trend of the mineralization. Two (2) holes are planned on each section, targeting the mineralized horizon thirty (30) and seventy-five (75) metres from surface. The Company estimates a mid-December 2024 completion date. Channel samples were collected by establishing two, parallel cuts, approximately five (5) to ten (10) centimetres apart along a set bearing from a known start point. Each saw-cut is approximately five (5) to seven (7) centimetres deep. Samples were measured horizontally utilizing a nominal 1.0 metre maximum sampling interval. Each sample was collected by hand, utilizing a hammer and chisel to remove the material between the parallel saw cuts. Each sample is described, placed in a sample bag, labeled and recorded. A permanent aluminum tag is fixed on the outcrop with the corresponding sample number recorded for future reference. Certified standards and blanks were randomly inserted into the sample stream and constituted approximately 5-10% of the sample stream. Standard and blank performance was monitored with any failures evaluated and investigated to determine if said failure is a result of error during submission. If unexplained failures were identified, the five (5) samples preceding and following the failure are re- assayed. Standards and blanks were inserted into the re-assayed interval stream as well, to monitor analytical performance. Samples were shipped to the Activation Laboratories Ltd. facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario where sample preparation and analyses were completed. All samples were analyzed for gold using a 30-gram lead collection fire assay (FA) fusion with an atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish. All assay results greater than 5.0 g/t Au were re-assayed using a gravimetric analysis. All samples were also analyzed for 35-elements by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) analysis.
