Nakoro VMS (Zinc/Copper) Prospect - IP Geophysics
The Company has commenced an Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey across the Nakoro Prospect, where historic exploration has identified significant base metal mineralization including 12.0m @ 12.7% Zn and 0.3% Cu from 64m (NKD2) The activity comprises 10 line kilometers and is designed to provide effective target definition to inform follow up drilling activity.

About
The 2023 drill program will cover three of its four well-defined gold/silver targets, including:
Vatuvatulevu (Vatu): defined by a 150m wide zone of gold-silver surface anomalism, including up to 2.48ppm Au in soils, 41.6g/t Au, 1,205g/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 7m at 5.7 g/t Au (trench) and up to 55.2g/t Au in rock chips with coincident resistivity and chargeability geophysical anomalism modelled at depth
Drilling activity in late 2022 included mobilization into Liwa camp and completion of the maiden drill hole into the Vatuvatulevu Prospect target area (Vatu). The Vatu target is defined by a 150m wide zone of strong surface gold-silver anomalism (max: 2.48ppm Au - soils, 41.6g/t Au, 1205g/t Ag - rocks) and high resistivity-high chargeability IP geophysical anomalism.
The drill hole is situated at the southernmost extent of a 500 x 150m zone of surface anomalism and whilst not reporting any significant assay results, has provided critical structural information indicating a likely sub vertical to steeply east dipping geometry to the target zone. The drilling program has been adjusted accordingly, with the next drill hole to be drilled westwards to test the target zone.
The drill rig is on site, the camp and drill pads have been built and we start drilling as soon as the dry season kicks in, hopefully early May, 'commented Thunderstruck's President/CEO
