Blue Thunder Announces Appointment of Dorian L. Nicol to the Board

Toronto, July 11, 2022 - Blue Thunder Mining Inc. (TSXV: BLUE) (OTCQB: BLTMF) ("Blue Thunder" or the "Company") is very pleased to the announce the appointment of Mr. Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol, B.Sc. M.A., to the Company's Board of Directors effective immediately.

Mr. Nicol, a graduate (B.Sc.) in Earth Sciences from M.I.T. with a Masters in Geology from Indiana University, has over 45 years of global experience in gold exploration and mining involving virtually every type of gold deposit in a variety of geologic settings. He has designed and managed successful gold exploration programs throughout North and South America, as well as Africa, Russia and Papua New Guinea. At Jerritt Canyon, Nevada he designed and managed the exploration program which culminated in the discovery of over 1.5 million ounces of gold, while his early work in Papua New Guinea attributed to the recognition of the large porphyry system in the Eastern Highlands which became known as the K92 gold deposit. In Kyrgyzstan's Tulkubash oxide deposit, his efforts added over 600,000 ounces of gold to the resource in the first year.

In addition to his exploration expertise, Mr. Nicol has managed the construction, development and operations of open-pit and underground gold mines in Mexico and Nevada. He has also conducted due diligence processes for gold projects at every stage of development for a number of investment funds and corporate acquisitions. He has held senior corporate positions for several publicly listed companies, and is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, CP (JORC), Registered Geologist, and Chartered Geologist. He is fluent in six languages.

"We are very fortunate to welcome Dusty to Blue Thunder's Board of Directors," commented Chad Williams, non-executive chair. "Dusty's career in mining is as distinguished as they come - the consummate geologist with highly successful management and operational expertise. His well-rounded experience will be of immense value to the Company as we expand our gold portfolio."

The Company also announces that Mr. Louis Gariepy has decided to resign from the Board to pursue other interests. "We are indeed very grateful to Louis for his contributions and expert guidance during his term on the Board and wish him much happiness and success," remarked Chad Williams.
