[{"type":"text","content":"Thunderstruck Provides Exploration Update, Appoints Lawrence Roulston and Linnea Von Hessert to BoardVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 27, 2017) - Thunderstruck Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AWE) (\"Thunderstruck\"); The Company is pleased to provide an exploration update on its Rama Creek copper-gold porphyry and Liwa Creek gold prospects. Thunderstruck is conducting the first comprehensive exploration since drilling by Anglo American in the 1970s discovered zones with high-grade zinc and copper values. Work by Thunderstruck over the past year has confirmed the Anglo values and identified other targets prospective for gold, silver, copper and zinc.Rama Creek UpdateFollowing its release of positive Phase 1 Bulk cyanide Leach Extractable Gold (BLEG) stream sediment sample results for the Rama Creek prospect (see the Company's September 27, 2017 News Release), the Company's expanded Phase 2 exploration included the collection of an additional 37 stream sediment, 120 target-specific auger soil, and 113 surface rock geochemical samples. Current Phase 2 stream sediment follows up on the Phase 1 defined Rama, Rama North, and Senikura Creek Cu-Au and Au-Ag anomalies by extending complete stream coverage, and concurrent rock geochemical sampling, into the headwaters and tributaries of Rama and Senikura creeks. Target-specific auger soil sampling was designed to confirm and provide increased resolution over wide-spaced historic gold in soil anomalies at Rama (316 and 143 ppb Au), Rama Headwaters (739 ppb Au), and Senikura West (4 samples ranging from 107 to 511 ppb Au).Liwa Creek UpdateFollowing successful completion of Phase 2 sampling at Rama, crews mobilized to Liwa Creek to execute the Company's first work program on the prospect (see the Company's News Release of October 24, 2017). During October and November 2017, Thunderstruck crews completed 520m of trenching in four (4) separate areas at the Jensen and Liwa Ridge gold showings, including the collection of 113 trench rock channel samples, 100 prospecting rock grab, and 34 BLEG stream sediment samples. Excavation of a 261m E-W trending trench at the Jensens's gold showing uncovered several 3.2 m-wide zones of intensely weathered quartz-sulphide veined mafic volcanic rock within a broader 5.3m-zone of apparently sericite-hematite interval. The relationship of the tren...
