Thunderstruck Resources Reports That Drilling Has Commenced at the Liwa Gold & Silver Project

Thunderstruck Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AWE) ("Thunderstruck" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the recent commencement of the 2022 drill program in Fiji.

"The drill is turning!" said Bryce Bradley, President and CEO. "Nearly five decades after the discovery of these gold-silver targets, they are finally being drilled. We are excited that the team has successfully mobilized to Liwa with a custom made drill fit for Fiji's unique terrain, and we'll be working hard to complete the program and get assays to market."

The company has hired Valentis, a highly reputable Southeast Asian mineral exploration and drilling company to complete this phase of drilling and train local workers to support.

Further to our press release dated April 25, 2022, the planned drilling program is comprised of an initial five drill holes for 1,500 meters and is designed to test several well-defined epithermal gold-silver targets extending over a three-kilometer strike length, including:

Liwa Ridge: defined by a wide zone of gold-silver anomalism at surface, including, 71.3m at 0.61g/t Au (trench) and up to 11.1 g/t Au and 109 g/t in rock chips with coincident resistivity and chargeability geophysical anomalism modelled at depth
Vatuvatulevu: defined by a 150-meter-wide zone of gold-silver anomalism at surface, including up to 2.48 ppm Au in soils, 41.6 g/t Au and 1,205 g/t Ag in rock chips with coincident resistivity and chargeability geophysical anomalism modelled at depth
Jensens: defined by multiple zones of gold-silver anomalism at surface, including, 7 meters at 5.7 g/t Au (trench) and up to 55.2 g/t Au in rock chips with coincident resistivity and chargeability geophysical anomalism modelled at depth
