In addition to its ongoing, previously announced exploration program on the Rama Creek copper/gold prospect (see September 27, 2017), the Company is pleased to announce mobilization of exploration crews to its Liwa Creek gold prospect, Viti Levu, Fiji.The 2017 Liwa Creek prospect exploration will initially comprise ridge and spur auger soil geochemical sampling designed to test along-strike potential of the Liwa Creek and Jensen's Prospect gold zones together with trenching of the lodes, which returned historic surface trench assays of 1.9 g/t Au over 15m and 5.7 g/t Au over 7m, respectively. Concurrent with auger soils, Thunderstruck crews will collect approximately 55 bulk cyanide leach extractable gold (BLEG) stream sediment sampling and detailed prospecting in the Vatuvatulevu Creek area, 1 to 3km to the northeast. Historic anomalous gold values in rock float and BLEG stream sediment samples in the Vatuvatulevu Creek drainage over a wide area of approximately 150 hectares are interpreted to indicate the presence of multiple undiscovered gold sources.As a follow-up to geochemical and detailed prospecting, Thunderstruck plans to conduct induced polarization (IP) resistivity, in addition to short wave infra-red (SWIR) Terraspec® soil surveys targeting potential hydrothermal alteration minerals associated with zones of intense silica-pyrite altered mafic volcanic rocks known to host gold mineralization at Liwa Creek.Bryce Bradley, Thunderstruck President/CEO, states, \"This exploration program was designed by the Company's geological team and independent consultants to pinpoint optimum drill targets in this broad area of historic gold results. We anticipate that we'll be able address these targets with a focused drill program following the rainy-season break.\"Thunderstruck management believes the Liwa Creek prospect has excellent potential for expansion of historically reported gold zones at the Liwa and Jensen's prospects; as well as for the discovery of additional mineralization through follow-up of gold in rock float anomalies in the Vatuvatulevu Creek drainage.About Liwa CreekGold bearing float assaying 8.4 g/t Au was discovered at Liwa Creek in the ...
