(TSXV: AWE) (\"Thunderstruck\") is pleased to announce the results of 110 stream sediment Bulk cyanide Leach Extractable Gold (BLEG) stream sediment samples at its Rama Creek Copper-Gold (Cu-Au) Prospect in Fiji. 2017 Phase 1 sampling confirms the historic Rama Creek Au-Cu geochemical anomaly, and defines new Au-Ag geochemical anomalies at Senikura Creek and Rama Creek north.   The Company has received final results for 110 BLEG stream sediment geochemical samples collected from its Rama Creek Porphyry Cu-Au prospect during May 2017 (Phase 1). Sampling at Rama Creek was designed to follow-up and provide confirmation of historic copper and gold in stream and auger soil anomalies discovered in the headwaters of Rama Creek. Historic 1974 diamond drilling reported by Australian Anglo American Ltd (Anglo) at Rama Creek targeted a magnetic high and Induced Polarization (IP) chargeability geophysical anomaly and intersected significant porphyry copper mineralization, with vertical drill hole \"DDH1\" returning a 244 metre interval between depths of 6 and 250 metres averaging 0.22% Cu and ending in mineralization. No additional diamond drilling has been completed at Rama Creek since Anglo's initial discovery program. \"We believe the Rama Creek prospect has excellent potential for expansion of the historically reported zone of porphyry Cu-Au mineralization,\" commented Bryce Bradley, Thunderstruck President and CEO, \"as well as the discovery of additional mineralization through follow-up of new Cu-Au stream geochemical anomalies as presented in detail below.\"2017 Phase 1 BLEG Sample Results The current BLEG stream sediment sampling by Thunderstruck personnel comprise 110 samples collected within the headwaters and tributaries of Rama and Senikura creeks over an approximately 16 km-square area. Cyanide leach determined values for gold (110 samples), silver (47 samples) and copper (47 samples) ranging from below detection up to 16 ppb (parts per billion) Au (95th percentile = 14 ppb Au), 0.57 to 28 ppm (parts per million) Cu (95th percentile = 21 ppm) and 1 to 168 ppb Ag (95th percentile = 94.5 ppb Ag).
