VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, May 25 /CNW/ - Thunder Sword Resources Inc. ('Thunder Sword' or the 'Company') (TSX VENTURE:THU), together with its joint venture partner Tribune Resources (TSX VENTURE:TCB) and 101073531 Saskatchewan Co., as Operator, recently concluded the initial meeting of its Joint Venture Exploration Committee wherein the parties discussed the drilling program for Botham Lake and for ongoing work on the Dufferin East and Virgin River properties.
BOTHAM LAKE:
As it related to Botham Lake, discussions centered on the JV group's ongoing review of historical assessment results and finalizing drill targets for the summer drill program set for August/September 2007. In making its assessment, the JV group has identified 20 potential targets from the earlier airborne and recent follow up ground geophysical programs. In assessing the drill targets the JV group agreed to continue to review and then prioritize the drill targets in regard to those areas where there is projected intersection of conductors with cross-cutting structures, and the comparisons of geophysical signatures to those of known deposits. Considerations of accessibility to targets for summer drilling may preclude several of the targets not being tested until next winter.
Geological mapping of target areas for mineralization and alteration zones will be carried out in conjunction with ongoing drill target assessment.
Botham Lake Anomalies:
Anomalies B79
The #3 conductor is the strongest anomaly and, therefore, is a first priority target. It is a narrow, well-defined anomaly that extends from near surface to depth suggesting a probable structure. The #1 conductor is a strong, shallow anomaly that is approximately 150 metres wide. The configuration of this anomaly suggests the presence of a possible graphitic lithological unit. The #4 anomaly is a medium strength complex conductor that has a cross-cutting structure at the north end.
In addition to prospecting in this area, it is recommended that two Max-Min lines running SW-NE be completed over the north end of #4. This should take a two man crew a couple of days to complete.
Anomaly B2
This anomaly is both near surface and at depth. The conductor that is strongest between lines 45-225. It is a narrow, well-defined and east dipping conductor. Surface water conditions make the area logistically challenging to a summer drill program. Depending on the exact collar location to be decided, a winter drill program may be better suited to testing this anomaly.
Anomaly B1
This is a strong, narrow conductor that extends from near surface to depth. Surface water conditions make the area logistically challenging to a summer drill program. Depending on the exact collar location to be decided, a winter drill program may be better suited to testing this anomaly.
DUFFERIN EAST:
The program will consist of 3 gravity/mag geophysical grids to further explore EM conductors and associated structures identified in a recent airborne geophysical survey.
PROPOSED DRILL PROGRAM
As earlier announced, it was confirmed that the Phase 1 drilling of the target areas is expected to commence on or about August, 2007, and will consist of a 4,000 meter drill program. The cost of the program is estimated at $1,000,000 and will be funded by TCB as part of its $1.5 million 2007 expenditure program required under the joint venture option agreement with the Company.
