[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nVANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, May 25 /CNW/ - Thunder Sword Resources Inc.\n('Thunder Sword' or the 'Company') (TSX VENTURE:THU), together with its joint\nventure partner Tribune Resources (TSX VENTURE:TCB) and 101073531 Saskatchewan\nCo., as Operator, recently concluded the initial meeting of its Joint Venture\nExploration Committee wherein the parties discussed the drilling program for\nBotham Lake and for ongoing work on the Dufferin East and Virgin River\nproperties.\n\n\nBOTHAM LAKE:\n\n\nAs it related to Botham Lake, discussions centered on the JV group's\nongoing review of historical assessment results and finalizing drill targets\nfor the summer drill program set for August/September 2007. In making its\nassessment, the JV group has identified 20 potential targets from the earlier\nairborne and recent follow up ground geophysical programs. In assessing the\ndrill targets the JV group agreed to continue to review and then prioritize\nthe drill targets in regard to those areas where there is projected\nintersection of conductors with cross-cutting structures, and the comparisons\nof geophysical signatures to those of known deposits. Considerations of\naccessibility to targets for summer drilling may preclude several of the\ntargets not being tested until next winter.\n\n\nGeological mapping of target areas for mineralization and alteration\nzones will be carried out in conjunction with ongoing drill target assessment.\n\n\nBotham Lake Anomalies:\n\n\nAnomalies B79\n\n\nThe #3 conductor is the strongest anomaly and, therefore, is a first\npriority target. It is a narrow, well-defined anomaly that extends from near\nsurface to depth suggesting a probable structure. The #1 conductor is a\nstrong, shallow anomaly that is approximately 150 metres wide. The\nconfiguration of this anomaly suggests the presence of a possible graphitic\nlithological unit. The #4 anomaly is a medium strength complex conductor that\nhas a cross-cutting structure at the north end.\n\n\nIn addition to prospecting in this area, it is recommended that two\nMax-Min lines running SW-NE be completed over the north end of #4. This should\ntake a two man crew a couple of days to complete.\n\n\nAnomaly B2\n\n\nThis anomaly is both near surface and at depth. The conductor that is\nstrongest between lines 45-225. It is a narrow, well-defined and east dippi...
