PR Newswire (US)
ELKO, Nev., June 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Thunder Mountain
Gold, Inc. (OTC:THMG) (BULLETIN BOARD: THMG) (Company) is pleased
to announce that it has completed the filing of articles of
incorporation with the Secretary of State in Nevada for Thunder
Mountain Resources, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thunder
Mountain Gold, Inc. G. Peter Parsley was appointed as President of
the subsidiary with a separate Board of Directors to be selected.
On June 6, 2007, Thunder Mountain Resources, Inc. entered into a
Stock Sale Agreement for the acquisition of all of the outstanding
stock of South Mountain Mines, Inc., an Idaho Corporation. Closing
of the transaction is subject to numerous terms and conditions as
set forth in the Stock Sale Agreement, most notably the completion
of due diligence evaluation of the site conditions. Closing is
scheduled on or before October 1, 2007. The assets of South
Mountain Mines, Inc. are primarily represented by the deed to 17
patented mining claims, consisting of approximately 326 acres,
located in the South Mountain Mining District, Owyhee County,
Idaho. The South Mountain Mining District was first discovered and
worked in the late 1800s for high-grade silver ore. Mineralization
on the South Mountain property consists of silver-galena veins and
skarn-hosted polymetallic sulfide bodies hosted in a Paleozoic
and/or Mesozoic carbonate unit. The principal metals historically
recovered from the South Mountain property were silver, zinc, lead,
copper, and gold. Approximately sixty-thousand tons of ore are
reported to have been extracted from the district, principally
during World War II, and in the post-war period for the strategic
stockpile reserves. The reported grade of the mined ore was
approximately 12% zinc, 10.0 ounces per ton silver, 2.0% copper,
0.10 ounce per ton gold, and 1.0% lead. South Mountain Mines
acquired the claims in the early-1970s and conducted underground
and surface exploration program through to the mid-1980s.
Historical records indicate that a total of approximately 13,000
feet of exploration and development drilling has been completed at
South Mountain. South Mountain Mines, Inc. completed their
exploration in the 1980s. In total, over 8,000 feet of underground
workings explore and develop the silver-lead veins and polymetallic
skarn mineralization located on the South Mountain claims. A 43-101
compliant ore reserve has not been completed for the property.
Resource calculations utilizing diamond drilling, rotary drilling,
and underground sampling were completed in the 1950s by the Defense
Minerals Exploration Administration (DMEA) and in the 1980s by
South Mountain Mines, Inc. The South Mountain property consists of
numerous chimney-like and lenticular ore zones which may contain
significant amounts of mineralized material with grades typical of
the historic average mined. Mineralization appears to be open to
depth with the potential of additional mineralized zones along the
strike of the carbonate unit. About Thunder Mountain Gold, Inc.
