Thunderstruck Confirms High Grade Copper at the Nakoro Prospect in Fiji

Thunderstruck Resources (TSXV:AWE) reported that initial assay results from recent field work at the Nakoro prospect area in Viti Levu, Fiji, confirm the potential for high-grade copper mineralization, as well as high-grade zinc and silver.

Results for the first 16 samples have been received, and include several highly anomalous results for copper, zinc and silver, including values of 19.3% copper (“Cu”), 11.3% copper, 25.6% zinc (“Zn”), 14.0% zinc, 1,026 grams/tonne silver (Ag g/t) and 498 g/t Ag g/t. Highlights of the sampling results are detailed in the table and map below.

“We’re very encouraged by these results,” stated Bryce Bradley, Thunderstruck’s President and CEO. “It is clear that Nakoro offers not only the potential for zinc, but also the potential for high-grade copper mineralization. We look forward to testing the full significance of this copper mineralization with future drilling.”

Assays are pending for samples from an additional 70 prospect pits also dug in the area, targeting both copper and zinc mineralization. The new assay information, together with past results, suggests that this copper mineralization has a lateral extent of at least 150 metres along strike and is open in all directions.
