Thunder Gold Uncovers Significant Soil Anomalies at Tower Mountain Property
By Kevin Vincent
“We initiated this soil geochemistry survey to systematically evaluate the Tower Mountain Intrusive Complex (TMIC), and these results suggest the potential to significantly increase the mineralized footprint,” said Wes Hanson, President and CEO of Thunder Gold Corp. “With anomalies extending well beyond drilled areas, this survey outlines opportunities to triple the resource potential through targeted exploration.”
Thunder Gold Corp. has released promising results from a soil sampling program at its 100%-owned Tower Mountain Gold Property in Ontario’s Shebandowan Greenstone Belt, 50 kilometres west of Thunder Bay. The survey covered 1,200 hectares, identifying approximately 2.5 million square metres of anomalous gold zones, with 66% of the anomalies representing new, previously untested targets.
Key Highlights
• Strong Correlation with TMIC: 75% of upper-quartile anomalies (top 25% of results) are within or near the TMIC.
• Resource Expansion Potential: Soil anomalies highlight opportunities to extend the mineralized footprint by 2–3 times the currently drill-tested area.
• Undrilled Targets: Unexplored anomalies along the southern and eastern TMIC contacts present compelling new targets for exploration.
Soil Geochemistry Results
The survey identified multiple areas of interest, including:
1. Western TMIC Contact: A strong anomaly coincides with previously drilled areas, including results such as 3.83 g/t Au over 404.7 metres and 0.71 g/t Au over 119 metres. Soil data suggests additional mineralization between these drill holes and to the north.
2. Southern TMIC Contact: A 730,000 m² anomaly, with rock samples returning up to 5.27 g/t Au, strengthens northeast toward the P-Target. Historical drilling here includes:
• 4.41 g/t Au over 7.5 metres
• 0.54 g/t Au over 66.0 metres
• 0.37 g/t Au over 33.0 metres
3. STAR Target: Two anomalies near the Thunder Lake Fault, totaling 300,000 m², with historical rock samples up to 4.57 g/t Au.
4. Central TMIC: A 100,000 m² anomaly with surface samples up to 3.05 g/t Au remains undrilled.
Path Forward
Thunder Gold is actively investigating anomalies along the southern and eastern TMIC contacts, where untested areas show promising geochemical signals. Channel sampling at the P-Target is complete, with results expected soon.
The Tower Mountain Property’s systematic exploration approach continues to uncover new potential, reinforcing the TMIC’s significance as a driver of gold distribution in the region. This work positions Thunder Gold for significant resource growth, targeting a conceptual exploration target of 40–80 million tonnes averaging 0.80 to 1.20 g/t Au.
