The agreement with Rift is contingent upon due diligence, the execution of a definitive agreement and any necessary regulatory approvals.

In a separate transaction, Thunder Gold reached a definitive agreement with Stares Contracting to option a 100% interest in the Startrek property.

Stares Contracting is obligated to complete exploration expenditures on various claims by specified dates, with the total expenditures amounting to more than C$200,000.

Additionally, Stares Contracting must issue one million common shares if it becomes publicly listed or if the interest in the property is transferred to a publicly listed entity.

A one-time cash payment of C$1m is also required upon achieving commercial production from the property.

Meanwhile, Thunder Gold disclosed that its chairman Dr Elliot Strashin is filing an early warning report indicating that he now holds more than 16% of the outstanding common shares of the company.
