Toronto, Ontario, December 15, 2022 – Blue Thunder Mining Inc. (TSXV:BLUE) (“Blue Thunder” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed its recent diamond-drilling program on its flagship Muus property, part of the Company’s 51,000 hectare Muus Gold Project (the “Project”), strategically located in the heart of the Chibougamau Gold District in central Québec.
Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol, CEO of Blue Thunder stated, “We are very encouraged by the visual observations of drill core obtained by this drilling and look forward to receiving assays scheduled for January. The observed alteration and mineralization confirm the validity of the target concepts and add further credibility to our belief in the prospectivity of the Muus property. In addition to the drilling, surface geological mapping disclosed indications of potential copper-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide targets on the property, which will be followed up in 2023.”
Five holes totalling 1,251 metres were drilled from November 5th to December 3rd, 2022. From this drill core, 447 samples (including 44 QAQC samples) were taken from intervals judged visibly to be mineralized and/or hydrothermally altered. Assays are pending, with results expected in mid-January 2023.
The following summarizes the rationale for and visual observations at each hole. Significant assays will be released when available. Please refer to the Company’s News Release dated November 15, 2022 for additional plans showing target locations.
Hole MUUS22-14
This hole, about 1.5 kilometres east of the Discovery Zone, was drilled to a depth of 246 metres, targeting potential polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization as suggested by anomalous soil geochemistry and a geophysical Induced Polarization (IP) anomaly (coincident chargeability and conductivity). Drilling intercepted a graphitic black shale over 12 metres (from 136 to 148 metres down hole) containing 20% to 40% nodular pyrite, locally remobilized in stringers.
Hole MUUS22-15
This hole, near the Welb prospect was drilled to a length of 117 metres, targeting gold-bearing quartz veins as observed in a historical trench at the Welb gold showing. Drilling intercepted several smoky quartz veins with 1% to 4% pyrite and pyrrhotite from 17.5 to 22.3m down hole. A second mineralized interval was noted comprising mineralized chert with approximately 4% to 10% of what appears to be pyrrhotite and/or pyrite from 82.0 to 87.4m down hole.
Hole MUUS22-16
This hole at Lac Bernard was drilled to a length of 555 metres, targeting Nelligan-type metasediment-hosted gold mineralization. The drill target was defined by several IP (conductivity and chargeability) anomalies within a halo of hydrothermal alteration, as interpreted by Faure (2012; projet CONSOREM 2012-02), as well as by previous glacial till sampling which disclosed gold and arsenic anomalies. Several intervals of up to tens of metres of altered and potentially mineralized sericite and carbonate schist were intercepted, displaying varying extents of silica and chlorite alteration with up to 1 % disseminated pyrite.
Hole MUUS22-17
This hole, also at Lac Bernard, was drilled for 228 metres, targeting Nelligan-type mineralization similar to hole MUUS22-16, targeting similar IP and geochemical anomalies, again within a halo of hydrothermal alteration, as interpreted by Faure (2012; projet CONSOREM 2012-02). Drilling intercepted several intervals of up to 9 metres in apparent thickness of graphitic mudstones containing up to 0.5% disseminated pyrite.
Hole MUUS22-18
This hole, also at Lake Bernard, was drilled for 108 metres of a planned 270 metres. The hole was abandoned due to poor drilling conditions. Like the previous Lac Bernard drillholes (MUUS22-16 and MUUS22-17), this hole targeted Nelligan-style mineralization. The target was defined by coincident IP and geochemical anomalies within a halo of hydrothermal alteration, again as interpreted by Faure (2012; projet CONSOREM 2012-02). Hydrothermal alteration and potential mineralization was intersected between 38 to 105 metres down hole, comprising sericite and carbonate schists containing up to 1% disseminated pyrite.
About the Muus Property
Blue Thunder’s Muus Gold project is among the largest aggregate claim holding in the Chibougamau Gold District (the “District”), comprising more than 51,000 hectares in five non-contiguous claim blocks (Muus, Fancamp, Muus East, Nisk and Embry properties). The Project is strategically located in the eastern part of the Archean Abitibi Greenstone Belt and underlain by several key regional structures, including the Guercheville Deformation Zone, the Fancamp Deformation Zone and the Philibert-Joe Mann Deformation Zone. These major structural discontinuities are associated with many of the known gold deposits and occurrences in the District, including the recently discovered Nelligan and Monster Lake deposits, which underlie properties adjacent to and along strike from some of Blue Thunder’s properties. Muus comprises about 14 kilometres of strike length of the lithologic and structural package that hosts Nelligan. The Project is host to numerous underexplored mineralized occurrences, some currently being further explored. Mineralization underlying adjacent and/or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization at the Company’s properties.

Toronto, Ontario, November 14, 2022 – Blue Thunder Mining Inc. (TSXV:BLUE) (“Blue Thunder” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has commenced a 1,500 metre diamond-drilling program on its flagship Muus property, part of the Company’s 51,000 hectare Muus Gold Project (the “Project”), strategically located in the heart of the Chibougamau Gold District in central Québec.
Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol, CEO of Blue Thunder stated, “We are excited that diamond drilling has started at Muus for our fall program. We have defined attractive gold and massive sulphide targets on the property and we look forward to testing these.”
The Welb showing has not yet been adequately drill-tested. Historic trenching disclosed significant gold on surface (up to 8 g/t Au), mainly in 0.5 to 1 m wide quartz veins; however, historic drilling did not intercept the projected down-dip extension of the surface showing. The Company’s recent Max-Min electromagnetic survey, combined with a detailed structural interpretation by the Company’s geological team, have led to an understanding of the controls on the gold mineralization at Welb. Figure 1 shows the drill target.
At Lac Bernard, a historical RC-drilling campaign yielded some excellent gold and arsenic anomalies in till. The Company’s 2020 and 2022 IP surveys targeted these areas and identified major conductors in the vicinity of the till anomalies. Drill holes will test the target areas shown in Figure 2.
The exhalative gold system identified at the Discovery zone in 2020 is interpreted to be symetrical on each side of the Guercheville Fault Zone. A very strong conductor, identified by re-interpreting a historical IP survey, shows the signature of a potential massive-sulfide exhalative system on the northern side of the Guercheville Fault Zone. Base-metal anomalies in soil support this interpretation. The first drill hole was 246 metres long (Dip -45°) and returned disseminated to massive sulfide mineralization in two zones of several metres each, at a down-hole distance of about 150 metres. Analytical results are pending.

Toronto, Ontario, October 6, 2022 – Blue Thunder Mining Inc. (TSXV:BLUE) (“Blue Thunder” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide the results of its 2022 field season to date, including Induced Polarization (IP) and Max-Min Electromagnetic (“EM”) ground geophysical surveys and trenching activities within highly prospective target areas of the Muus Property. Several compelling drill targets have been defined following interpretation of the collected data.
Three IP and four EM surveys were completed over several target areas, followed by a field prospecting program.
Jean-François Métail, President of Blue Thunder commented: “We are very excited by the new information obtained from our recent work programs. The collected high-resolution geophysical data and excellent interpretation from our team have defined strong targets for our next drilling campaign.”
2022 Field and Exploration Activities
In 2022, the Company concentrated on its flagship Muus Property, completing IP surveys over the Guercheville, Lac Caopatina, and Lac Irène target areas (see Press Release of April 13th, 2022). In addition, EM surveys were completed over the Welb, Chinook, Muus-West, and Discovery target areas. The geophysics campaigns were followed-up with three weeks of field prospecting and sampling over these targets. Figure 1 depicts areas of 2022 field work to date.
Earlier in the year, Windfall-Geotek was retained to apply its proprietary Artificial Intelligence targeting software to the Muus Property’s geological database (see Press Release of March 20, 2022). Eight areas of interest were highlighted as high-potential targets. The Company continues to compile and re-assess historical data in light of new information gleaned from recent field activities. These continued enhancements to the Company’s integrated geological model are proving invaluable in defining areas of maximum exploration success.
2022 EM Surveys
The Welb gold showing comprises a set of 0.5-1.0 m thick east-west trending, sub-vertical quartz veins containing traces of pyrite, chalcopyrite and native copper, that crosscut ankeritized basalts and gabbros. The area has been previously exposed by trenching and has been channel-sampled.
A detailed structural interpretation of the EM survey anomaly map led to a better understanding of the internal structure of the Welb deformation zone, and provided a better understanding of the structural controls affecting the gold mineralization model.
As shown on Figure 2, the results of the EM survey can be interpreted as follow:
A spatial relationship between the moderate-conductivity zones and the presence of an east-west trending axial-plane (associated with D2 folding) intersected by a later north-east trending structure has been observed. The intersection of these 2 structural features is interpreted as a principal structural control on the mineralization at Welb. Using this new information, several drilling targets were defined for a future drilling program.
Interpretation of the EM surveys completed over the Discovery, Chinook and Muus-West grids is ongoing and expected to generate additional exploration targets.
2022 IP Surveys
The IP surveys over the Lac Bernard area show two types of geophysical targets, as follows:
Chargeability associated with resistivity: silicified rocks with disseminated sulfides, potential “Nelligan-type” deposit.
Chargeability associated with conductivity: potential polymetallic massive sulfides deposit.
Linear IP trends are coincident with several gold and arsenic anomalies defined by RC till-drilling results that following the local glacial dispersion trend. The hydrothermal alteration index (Faure, 2012) gives a good estimate of the footprint of the expected mineralization (Figure 3). Potential drilling targets at Lac Bernard are being defined.
The IP surveys completed at Lac Irène and Lac Caopatina are still being interpreted alongside with other information that has been compiled by our team to define the best targets in those areas.
2022 Follow-Up Prospecting
A short prospecting program was carried out in June 2022 to field-check geophysical and geochemical anomalies. Accessing bedrock in many of the targeted areas proved to be a challenge due to extensive and thick overburden, as well as widespread wetlands. Still, many of the samples collected show a high potential for gold and/or copper mineralization. Complete analytical results are pending.
Trenching on Lac Rane Area
Two trenches excavated in the Lac Rane area identified at least two massive sulfide (“VMS”) lenses comprising pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite.
The geological setting of the area has characteristics of a VMS depositional environment such as an interpreted rhyolite dome and a dalmatianite unit showing strong black-chlorite and silica alteration. This type of alteration is typically observed within a few hundred metres of the core zone of some VMS deposits. Further work remains to be done on this new target.
Analytical results of collected trench samples are pending.

Toronto, Ontario, August 2, 2022 – Blue Thunder Mining Inc. (TSXV:BLUE) (“Blue Thunder” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities at its Muus Gold Project (the “Project”), near Chibougamau, Quebec.
Overview of 2022 Field Activities:
GEOSIG Inc. has completed the induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey, previously announced on April 13, 2022 over the Lac Bernard, Lac Caopatina and Lac Irène areas. Results are expected imminently and will be integrated with all other Project data with the aim of confirming drill targets.
A total of 26-line kilometres of surface Max-Min (“EM”) geophysical surveying has been completed over four separate areas of the Muus Property (one of several properties comprising the Project), with the aim of identifying near-surface conductors (i.e., less than 50 metres depth). Interpretation of the EM data is progressing.
Field crews have completed further geological prospecting and sampling activities over select areas, including:
the Discovery Zone target, which is prospective for “Nelligan-style” gold mineralization within Caopatina meta-sedimentary rocks;
the Lac Caopatina target, which occupies the same geological setting as Royal Fox’s Philibert gold deposit;
the Lac Irène target, which occupies a geological and structural setting similar to those observed at IAMGOLD’s Monster Lake project, located about 8 km on-trend to the northeast;
the Chesbar target, which is prospective for VMS-style mineralization in volcanic rocks.
For a description on these projects, please refer to end of this news release
A total of 74 channel samples and 33 grab samples have been collected and dispatched to ALS Laboratories for analysis.
“Over the last few months we have been actively following-up on newly defined target areas on our flagship Muus Property. We are very optimistic for the potential that these targets represent and look forward to integrating data collected from recent field activities into our latest geological models, with the aim of advancing to the drilling stage”.
Jean-François Métail, President
The Company also wishes to remind investors that the previously announced non-brokered private placement of up to C$500,000 will be closing on or before August 18, 2022. Insiders will be among the significant participants. Shareholders wishing to participate in the Offering should contact the Company through Grove Issuer Services Inc. at [email protected]. (See news releases of July 11 and July 4, 2022 on the Company’s website: www.bluethundermining.pubco.biz).
The Offering remains subject to receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
About the Muus Property
Blue Thunder’s Muus Gold project (the “Project”) is among the largest aggregate claim holdings in the Chibougamau Gold District (the “District”), comprising more than 51,000 hectares in five non-contiguous claim blocks; namely, the Muus, Fancamp, Muus East, Nisk and Embry properties. The Project is strategically located in the eastern part of the Archean Abitibi Greenstone Belt and underlain by several key regional structures, including the Guercheville Deformation Zone, the Fancamp Deformation Zone and the Philibert-Joe Mann Deformation Zone. These major structural discontinuities are associated with many of the known gold deposits and occurrences in the District, including the recently discovered Nelligan and Monster Lake deposits, which underlie properties adjacent to and along strike from some of Blue Thunder’s properties. The Project is host to numerous underexplored mineralized occurrences, some currently being further explored. Mineralization underlying adjacent and/or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization at the Company’s properties.
QAQC and Qualified Person
All rock samples collected from the trenching, drilling and regional prospecting programs have been submitted to ALS Minerals Inc., in Val d’Or, Québec, part of the ALS Global group (“ALS”) for gold and ICP multi-element analysis (Nacera Amara & Saa Traxler, Analytical Chemists). The soil samples have been processed by the Company’s staff and the analytical signal of the soil samples has been obtained by an XRF portable analyzer and interpreted as a qualitative geochemical signal only. The soils samples have then been analysed for gold (Au) by Laboratoire Expert Inc. in Rouyn-Noranda, Québec (Joe Landers, Analytical Chemist). The till samples have been processed and analysed by IOS Services Géoscientifiques Inc. in Saguenay, Québec (Karen Gagné, Analytical Chemist). The Company follows rigorous quality assurance/quality control (QAQC) protocols for the sampling programs that include the regular insertion of standards, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream. The scientific and technical information that forms the basis for parts of this press release was reviewed and approved by John Langton (M.Sc., P.Geo.) of JPL GeoServices, who is a Qualified Person (QP) as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
COVID-19
In conformity with guidelines proposed by the Québec government’s Commission des norms, de l’equité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail, the Company has implemented a strict COVID-19 management plan that complies with provincial government directives and guidelines with the main objective to safeguard the health and safety of its workers, stakeholders and local community members in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Notes:
The Nelligan gold discovery is subject to a joint-venture between by Iamgold Corporation and Vanstar Mining Resources Ltd., which hosts NI 43-101 Inferred Resources of 97 million tonnes grading 1.0 grams per tonne of gold, equivalent to 3.2 million ounces of gold (Nelligan NI 43-101 Technical Report, Oct 22, 2019, Prepared for Iamgold Corp. and Vanstar Mining Resources). Nelligan represents a large tonnage, low grade gold deposit, with gold predominantly associated with disseminated sulphides and quartz veining/stockworks, hosted within Caopatina metasediments. The Nelligan deposit is situated on trend and approximately 20 kilometres east-southeast of Blue Thunder’s Muus Property.
The Philibert deposit hosts a historic gold resource estimate of approximately 1.4 million tonnes grading 5.3 g/t gold with a 4 g/t cut-off grade (1991 economic potential study by Groupe Conseil Roche Ltée – see SEDAR Filing Statement filed under Hornby Bay Mineral Exploration Ltd on May 11, 2020). Gold mineralization is associated with disseminated pyrite and pyrrhotite within highly sheared gabbroic sills hosted in Obatogamau basalts within the Guercheville Deformation Zone. The Philibert deposit occurs on trend and approximately 10 kilometers to the east of Blue Thunder’s Muus Property.
The Monster Lake gold deposit hosts NI 43-101 Inferred Resource of 1,109,700 tonnes of inferred resources averaging 12.14 grams of gold per tonne for 433,300 ounces of contained gold (Amended Technical Report and Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the Monster Lake Project, prepared by InnovExplo Inc. for Iamgold Corporation and Tomagold Corporation, effective April 9, 2018). Gold mineralization at Monster Lake is associated with smokey quartz veins and sulphide minerals spatially associated with thin graphitic volcanogenic horizons within the Monster Lake shear Zone.
