Thunder Gold Corp. has returned diamond drill results from the Bench Target at its flagship Tower Mountain Property in Ontario, highlighted by hole TM26-205 intersecting 121.5 metres averaging 0.376 g/t gold in a new target located 200 metres east of the current resource pit optimization limit.

All seven reported drill holes intersected mineralization above the current resource cut-off grade of 0.19 g/t gold in areas previously classified as waste within the 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate pit shell. The company engaged Micon International Limited in October 2025 to complete an independent NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate for the property, which was published with an effective date of January 19, 2026.

Drill hole TM26-213 intersected 287.7 metres averaging 0.223 g/t gold from a total length of 589.0 metres, extending the mineralized trend to the southeast toward the 110 Target.

"The most significant mineralization occurs in TM26-205 (121.5 metres averaging 0.376 g/t Au). This mineralization lies 200 metres east of the 2026 MRE resource pit limit, approximately 400 metres from surface. The target is open in all directions. Follow up drilling targeting the up-dip continuity is planned." — Wes Hanson, President and CEO

Thunder Gold operates two drill rigs and plans to complete an additional 7,500 metres of resource definition drilling at the Tower Mountain Property prior to year-end 2026. The company has scheduled a Mineral Resource Estimate update for year-end 2026, with an estimated 60% to 70% of the upcoming drilling total expected to be included in the revised model.
