[{"type":"text","content":"Thunderstruck Resources Announces Exploration Program Results in 50% Expansion of Liwa Gold/Silver ProspectVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 23, 2021) - Thunderstruck Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AWE) (The \"Company\") is pleased to report the following updates on the exploration work being done on its prospects in Fiji. \"We are wrapping up an encouraging and active year of exploration on our high-grade Liwa gold/silver prospect. We have a great video recently taken from the camp; it really drives home the challenges of exploration in remote areas like Fiji,\" stated Thunderstruck's President/CEO Bryce Bradley. \"Also, in addition to the work done on our Korokayiu copper/zinc property this year, a team has just been deployed to a third property, our Nakoro copper/zinc asset, to conduct a short mapping program on this promising high-grade VMS prospect. They'll be in the field for about two weeks, while the other teams shut down the Liwa and Korokayiu camps in preparation for rainy season, which typically starts in December until April. This schedule provides adequate time to assess the results in preparation for the 2022 exploration season.\"Liwa Gold/SilverThe 2021 precious metals exploration program at Liwa, which included extensive surface sampling and a drilling campaign, has just been completed. Drilling has intersected zones of heavy sulphide mineralization accompanied by promising geological indicators such as silicification and banded veins at 100m downhole (Figure 1). Core samples from this year's drilling program have been submitted to ALS Australia for assay.Figure 1: Cut core samples from LiwaTo view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/2901/104862_48d9d135a4aff976_002full.jpgExpansion of MineralizationMapping north of the current exploration zone has revealed a previously undiscovered expression of breccias and banded quartz veins seen elsewhere on the property (Fig.2). This indicates that hydrothermal activity was present over a much greater area than previously thought. This region forms a 1km extension of the prospect and represents a roughly 50% increase of the total area of interest. The company hopes to reinforce these observations with the upcoming results of this seasons' soil sampling program and will be using this data to plan its 2022 drilling ...
