Thunder Gold Resumes Exploration at Tower Mountain west of Thunder Bay

Mar 5, 2025


Thunder Gold Corp. has resumed exploration at its 100%-owned Tower Mountain Gold Property, located 50 km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The company is ramping up activities with a two-phase drill program designed to expand recently identified mineralized zones and prioritize high-potential targets ahead of an initial NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate.

Strategic Exploration Initiatives

  • Ground Magnetic Survey: A 50-line-km survey covering the Tower Mountain Intrusive Complex (TMIC) to refine multiple gold-in-soil anomalies identified in late 2024.

  • Phase 1 Drilling (1,200m): Expansion of the newly discovered P-Target along the eastern margin of the TMIC.

  • Phase 2 Drilling (1,800m): Targeting gaps in drill hole coverage within the Western Contact Zone in preparation for an initial resource estimate.

Phase 1: Expansion of P-Target

The P-Target, discovered in September 2024, consists of intensely silicified and carbonatized monzonite extending over 100 meters along a northwest strike. The mineralized zone remains open to the southeast, with drill results suggesting a potential thickening trend in that direction. The planned drill holes will test continuity over a 400m x 200m x 100m volume at grades ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 g/t Au.

A strong gold-in-soil anomaly 500m southeast of the last drill section, coinciding with a TMIC contact within a magnetic low, presents a compelling vector for mineralization. All observed gold zones at Tower Mountain are associated with magnetic destruction, reinforcing this as a key exploration target.

Phase 2: Advancing the 37-38 Target

Drilling will also focus on the high-grade 37-38 Target, which returned a record 963.0 g/t Au over 1.5m in drill hole TM23-137. Additional intercepts include:

  • TM23-137: 0.79 g/t Au over 21m, 2.49 g/t Au over 9m, and multiple intervals above 0.6 g/t Au.

  • TM23-138: 1.18 g/t Au over 19m, 0.63 g/t Au over 38m, and 1.86 g/t Au over 10.4m.

The program aims to establish continuity over a 200m x 200m x 100m area at an average grade of 0.75 to 1.25 g/t Au, further increasing Tower Mountain’s potential resource footprint.

Unlocking Tower Mountain’s Growth Potential

Thunder Gold’s 2025 exploration efforts aim to validate Tower Mountain’s significant growth potential. CEO Wes Hanson emphasized the property’s advantages: "Tower Mountain presents a rare opportunity where rapid expansion is possible at low exploration costs. With the infrastructure already in place and confirmed mineralization along the TMIC’s contacts, we believe this year’s program will demonstrate the potential to double the conceptual exploration target. Our goal is to solidify Tower Mountain as a significant gold resource in northwestern Ontario ahead of an initial NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate later this year."
