Drilling Commencing At Liwa Gold Project In Fiji


VANCOUVER - Thunderstruck Resources Ltd. reported that drilling has commenced at its wholly owned Liwa Gold Project in Fiji. The drill program has been designed to test anomalous high-grade gold/silver targets mapped at surface over a ~3km structural corridor.

"Our team has worked tirelessly to prepare for our maiden drill campaign at Liwa and we are excited to have the drills turning despite weather delays." said, CEO Bryce Bradley.

The company plans to drill 500 m as part of its fully funded phase one drill program at Jensen's Prospect before moving on to the other prospects. Liwa Gold features four (combining Jensen's and Jensen's west) high grade gold prospects: Jensen's, Liwa Ridge, Gun, and Lower Vatuvatulevu.

For further understanding of the subsurface at Liwa, four line kilometers of induced polarization (IP) and resistivity surveys were completed in 2019, highlighting prospective targets. All known Liwa Creek gold prospect showings produce clearly defined IP/Resistivity anomalies coincident with gold mineralization at surface. The presence of strong resistive and coincident weak to moderate chargeability anomalies are interpreted to indicate silicified lithologies and potentially mineralized targets at depth.
