Chad Williams, the Company's Non-Executive Chairman, said, "We're happy to welcome Dusty to the CEO role at Blue Thunder. Dusty is a world class geologist with a track record of managing successful exploration and acquisition programs around the world. He and I first worked together 20 years ago acquiring the Jerritt Canyon gold mine in Nevada and I am excited to renew our professional association."

Dusty commented, "I am very excited to be joining Blue Thunder and working with Chad and the team to create a successful exploration company. I am very enthused about the potential on the Company's exploration ground in Chibougamau and equally excited about the aggressive M&A program the Company will be implementing."

Dusty Nicol has a B.Sc. degree in Earth Science from M.I.T. and an M.A. degree in geology from Indiana University. Dusty has over 47 years of world-wide experience in minerals exploration and mining. He has designed and managed successful exploration programs throughout North and South America, Africa, Russia and the Former Soviet Union, and Papua New Guinea. He led the early work in Papua New Guinea which recognized the large mineralized system in the Eastern Highlands which eventually became the K92 gold deposit. He has also designed and managed generative gold exploration programs in Africa and Europe. At Jerritt Canyon, Nevada, he designed and managed the exploration program which discovered over 1.5 million ounces of gold at a discovery cost of about $18 / ounce over a 5-year period. His exploration program at the Tulkubash oxide deposit, Kyrgyzstan, added over 600,000 ounces of gold to M&I Resource in the first year, at a discovery cost of $11.40 / ounce. Dusty has also efficiently managed due diligence of mining projects at every stage of exploration, development, and production. In addition to his exploration experience, he has managed the construction, development, and operation of open pit and underground gold mines and processing plants in Nevada and Mexico.
