(TSXV: AWE) (\"Thunderstruck\") is pleased to provide results from its recent exploration conducted at the Liwa Creek Gold Prospect in late 2017.Liwa Creek is part of a 148 sq km property held by Thunderstruck in Fiji, located 50km south of the Vatukoula gold mine, which has produced 7 million ounces of gold. Fiji is located on the Pacific Ocean's Ring of Fire, which contains many of the world's major gold and copper deposits, including Lihir and Grasberg *.Between November and December 2017 Thunderstruck crews completed 520m of hand trenching in four (4) separate areas of the Jensen and Liwa Ridge gold showings resulting in the collection of 117 trench channel samples. In addition, 123 prospecting rock grab, 110 ridge-and-spur auger soil, and 47 BLEG stream sediment samples were collected from the Liwa and Vatuvatulevu creek areas, which include the Liwa Ridge, Jensen's, and Gun gold showings.Commenting on the results, President/CEO Bryce Bradley notes that \"Multiple examples of significant gold mineralization, as well as extensive anomalies, have now been uncovered across the expanse of our property. In particular, these results show that our Liwa and Jensen's discoveries are shaping up to be intriguing gold targets. Now that we have all permitting in place, we're entertaining joint venture opportunities to aggressively advance this exciting asset.\"Jensen's ShowingThunderstruck prospecting crews successfully located and sampled the historic Jensen's gold showing on Wainamoli Creek with two rock grab samples returning high grade gold values of 36.1 and 31.8 g/t Au; including 12.5% and 6.8% Pb (lead), respectively (Table 1). A total of 21 rock grab samples were collected along a stretch of the Wainamoli Creek outlining a 300m zone of anomalous gold values; including 8 samples returning greater than 0.2 g/t Au, and a series of discontinuous rock outcrop channel samples collected over a distance of 35m averaging 0.38 g/t Au.
