Thunder Mountain Gold Intersects New Carbonate Replacement Deposit Silver-Zinc Mineralization and Confirms Two Porphyry Centers at South Mountain
Thunder Mountain Gold's 2026 drill program at South Mountain intersected new carbonate replacement deposit silver-zinc mineralization at Kentucky Ridge, roughly 250 meters northwest of the known 800 m CRD zone, with step-out hole SM26-062 cutting 22.28 m grading 2.07% Zn and 9.00 g/t Ag. The program also confirmed porphyry-style intrusives and alteration at the Gold Breccia and Birthday targets, which management believes may be the source 'engines' of South Mountain's massive sulfide system; Birthday assays are still pending. Fourteen core holes totaling 2,670 m were completed, with results for five holes outstanding and surface work underway to set up a 2027 drill program.
