Thundermin Resources Announces That the Arbitrator Confirms QMX Gold's Exercise of Option on the Pelletier Lake Gold Property Is Valid

TORONTO, May 29, 2014 - Thundermin Resources Inc. ("Thundermin") (TSX VENTURE:THR) announces that the arbitrator in the dispute between Thundermin and QMX Gold Corp. ("QMX") regarding the performance of QMX under the terms of the option agreement (the "Agreement") covering Thundermin's 100%-owned Pelletier Lake gold property ("Pelletier Lake") located in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec has confirmed that QMX's exercise of the option to earn a 100% interest in Pelletier Lake is valid as of August 31, 2010 (see Thundermin's news release dated December 7, 2010 and Thundermin's other public documents for additional information on Pelletier Lake).

In delivering his binding decision, the arbitrator determined that QMX did make a bona fide production commitment to Thundermin on August 31, 2010 as required by the Agreement, as amended, and that QMX's right under the terms of the Agreement to earn a 100% interest in Pelletier Lake by achieving commercial production, subject to Thundermin's 2.5% net smelter returns royalty interest, remains in good standing at this time. The arbitrator has given Thundermin and QMX until July 20, 2014 to agree to a date by which QMX must achieve commercial production at Pelletier Lake (the "Ultimate Commercial Production Date"), failing which the arbitrator will set the Ultimate Commercial Production Date.

The arbitrator also ruled that QMX shall be allowed until September 1, 2014 (the "Effective Exercise Date") to resume activities related to the plans of QMX to achieve commercial production at Pelletier Lake and that if commercial production is not achieved within one year of the earlier of the Effective Exercise Date and August 31, 2015, then QMX must make a $75,000 recoupable advance royalty payment to Thundermin, as provided for in the Agreement, on September 1, 2015 and yearly thereafter until commercial production is attained or until the Ultimate Commercial Production Date is reached. If commercial production at Pelletier Lake is not achieved on or before the Ultimate Commercial Production Date, QMX's right to earn any interest in Pelletier Lake will terminate and Thundermin will remain the 100% owner of Pelletier Lake.

John B. Heslop, the President and CEO of Thundermin stated, "Moving Pelletier Lake to commercial production as soon as possible is in the best interest of both Thundermin and QMX and we look forward to renewed activity toward that objective in the near term."
