Victoria, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Great Thunder Gold Corp. (TSXV: GTG) is pleased to
announce that it has retained Mr. Donald Théberge, P.Eng., MBA of Solumines to review historical work and design an exploration
program for Great Thunder’s Great Dane and Deluce gold properties in the Windfall Lake area of Quebec.
Great Dane Property
Great Thunder optioned the 5,212-hectare Great Dane property adjoining Osisko Mining Inc., Beaufield Resources Inc. and
Melkior Resources Inc.’s properties along strike and adjacent to Osisko’s Black Dog Project in the Urban-Barry Gold Camp.
Management’s exploration plans have the potential to extend the productive greenstone units south from Osisko Mining Inc.’s
Black Dog Project through Souart and into Maseres Township. Significantly, the volcano-sedimentary units are interpreted to be
folded and Great Thunder’s Great Dane Project has about two kilometres of cross sectional width of the central part of the fold
nose.
Osisko reported gold in till results of 85 – 340 grains gold per 10 kg till marginal to Osisko’s Black Dog Project, which
prompted Great Thunder to option the Great Dane Project. These highly anomalous gold in till values are located over an area that
could represent a broad fold nose within the Urban-Barry greenstone Belt. The Black Dog Project is reported by Osisko to be a
gold-silver-copper discovery in andesitic volcanics that is coincident with magnetic and electromagnetic anomalies and
disseminated to semi-massive Au-Ag-Cu bearing sulfides. In January, Osisko indicated that targeting EM anomalies has had success
in their exploration efforts on the Black Dog Project.
Deluce Property
Great Thunder’s 100%-owned Deluce Property comprises 20 contiguous cell mineral claims covering approximately 1,127 hectares.
It is located 12 kilometres northwest of Metanor Resources Inc.’s Barry gold deposit, 15 kilometres west of Osisko Mining Inc.’s
Windfall Lake gold deposits, and 18 kilometres west-northwest of BonTerra Resources Inc.’s Gladiator gold deposit. These
Abitibi-type gold deposits are hosted in a variety of Archean age metavolcanic and intrusive rocks associated with magnetic high
responses within a Z-shaped pattern of major east trending structures and offsetting northeast trending structures.
The Deluce Property lies in a similar structural setting as the Gladiator gold deposit underlain by rocks similar to the
Windfall Lake and Barry gold deposits. Management believes that the geological setting of the property is very favourable to
hosting similar deposits and plans an intensive and systematic exploration program in the near future.
Kevin Whelan, President of Great Thunder, commented, “Great Thunder is excited to have Donald Theberge onboard for its
Windfall Lake projects. His expertise and knowledge of the geology in this area gives Great Thunder a strategic exploration
advantage.”
