Business Wire
Thunder Mountain Gold, Inc. (TSX-V:THM)
(OTCQB:THMG) (the Company), is pleased to announce that it
has satisfied the first phase work commitment on its strategic
agreement with Newmont USA Limited on its Trout Creek Project. The
geological and geophysical work completed during the past two years
advanced the Company’s Project in Lander County, Nevada. This first
phase included the expenditure of a required minimum $150,000
directly on exploration of the target area.
Jim Collord, Chief Operating Officer of the Company, said, “We
are very pleased with the results of the geophysical survey, and to
have satisfied the work commitment for the first term with Newmont.
Having Newmont as a partner adds tremendous value to the project,
and substantially enhances our interpretation and understanding of
the target. We continue to believe that Trout Creek is one of the
best remaining pediment plays in Nevada.”
Based on the results of the initial gravity survey, Jim Wright –
Geophysical Consultant - engineered a follow-up CSAMT survey for
the target area. The Company contracted with Zonge International,
Inc. to complete the CSAMT survey. Due to the efficiency of the
access and terrain, Zonge was able to complete three lines of CSAMT
in the area, which complemented an older survey completed by Cyprus
(1995) and Crown Resources (1992). Jim Wright received and analyzed
the CSAMT data.
The work summarized in Jim Wright’s report defined the depth to
bedrock and identified a drill target in the structure beneath the
pediment, as well as a potential target for a follow-up on previous
drilling. Thunder Mountain will further evaluate this data during
the coming months in anticipation of a drilling program. Envirotech
Drilling visited the project with Jim Collord in June in
preparation of conducting reverse circulation drilling later in
2013 or early in 2014.

About Trout Creek
Trout Creek is a gold target situated on the Eureka-Battle
Mountain trend in the Reese River Valley east of Newmont’s
operating Phoenix Mine and past producing Cove-McCoy Mines. Thunder
Mountain signed a strategic exploration agreement with Newmont USA
Limited in 2011. Newmont included a private mineral package
covering about 9,565 acres added to the original 60 unpatented
mining claims (1,200 acres) staked by Thunder Mountain Gold in
2007, which significantly expanded the project.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company was responsible
for conducting the exploration program and expended in excess of
$150,000 over the first two years of the Agreement, with additional
expenditures planned in future years. Conducting drilling on
Newmont lands is part of the work commitment, but the Agreement can
be terminated after the minimum expenditure commitment has been
made. The Agreement outlines the terms of a joint venture in which
Newmont can earn up to 70% of the project by expending 150% of the
Company’s expenditures up to the point that Newmont decides to form
a joint venture. If the Company defines economic mineralization of
500,000 ounces of gold or gold equivalent resources on the property
and Newmont decides not to joint venture, then the Company can
obtain ownership of any or all of the Newmont lands within the Area
of Influence and Newmont would retain three percent (3%) of net
smelter returns (NSR) as royalty interest.
