Thunder Mountain Gold, Inc. And BeMetals Complete Tranche 2 Closing Under The BeMetals Option Agreement

BOISE, June 11, 2019 - Thunder Mountain Gold Inc. (OTCQB: THMG; TSX-V: THM), (the "Company" or "THMG") announced today the completion of Tranche 2 of the previously announced Option Agreement dated February 27, 2019 ("Option Agreement") between the Company and BeMetals Corporation ("BeMetals") on the Company's South Mountain Project, located in Owyhee County, Idaho. Both the Company and BeMetals satisfied certain respective conditions precedent for the Tranche 2 closing outlined in the Option Agreement. These conditions included, among other things, the receipt of regulatory approval from the TSX Venture Exchange for both the Company and BeMetals, the delivery by the Company of the required opinions on property title and corporate good standing, and approval of the Option Agreement by the shareholders of the Company.

As part of the Tranche 2 closing, BeMetals completed its private placement investment of $250,000 into the Company at a price of $0.10 per share, for a total of 2,500,000 shares of THMG stock. In addition, BeMetals issued 10,000,000 common shares of BeMetals (TSX-V: BMET) to the Company.

Eric T. Jones, President and CEO of Thunder Mountain Gold Inc., described this event as, "a milestone event in Thunder Mountain Gold Inc. history, providing the THMG shareholders with the potential to realize on the upside of the South Mountain Project, as well as other projects that fit BeMetals growth strategy towards the goal of becoming a significant base metal producer."

BeMetals Corp. recently announced that it had closed an upsized non-brokered private placement offering (the "Offering") for gross proceeds of $6,250,000. These subscription receipts converted into common shares of BeMetals and the proceeds of the offering were released from escrow to BeMetals concurrent with the completion of Tranche 2. The fundraising was well supported by BeMetals insiders and new investors, including a fund from Europe. The proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund BeMetal's planned underground drilling of the advanced stage, high-grade, South Mountain Zinc-Silver Project in Idaho, U.S.A., drilling at its exciting early stage Pangeni Copper Exploration Project in Zambia, and for working capital. In anticipation of completing Tranche 2 of the Option Agreement, project planning meetings have been conducted in preparation for the initial underground drilling program at South Mountain. This drilling will commence as soon as possible, following site re-establishment.

The Company has provided additional information to shareholders of the Company regarding the BeMetals Option Agreement in its Schedule 14C information statement dated May 19, 2019. The Schedule 14C information statement was prepared in connection with obtaining the required shareholder approval for the BeMetals Option Agreement and was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholders of the Company holding approximately 53% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company executed consent resolutions voting in favor of the Option Agreement.

The Tranche 2 closing date pursuant to the Option Agreement was initially scheduled for May 31, 2019 but was extended in order to complete all required regulatory and shareholder approvals. There is no assurance that any of the remaining stages contemplated under the BeMetals Option Agreement will be completed.

The 2.5 million (2,500,000) Tranche 2 private placement shares issued by the Company to BeMetals and the 10 million (10,000,000) common shares of BeMetals stock issued to the Company were issued pursuant to available exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are restricted securities. The shares of BeMetals received by the Company are subject to contractual lock-up under the Option Agreement.
