VICTORIA, BC, May 30, 2017 – Great Thunder Gold Corp. (TSXV: GTG) is pleased to announce that it has engaged Dr. Michel Boily, PhD, P.Geo to identify drill targets and apply for a drilling permit for Great Thunder’s 100%-owned Chubb and Bouvier lithium properties located in the La Corne area of Quebec.

Great Thunder’s President, Kevin Whelan, said “We are excited to begin exploration soon at our Chubb and Bouvier properties, particularly as global interest in lithium reignites.”

Quebec’s La Corne region has also drawn worldwide attention with last year’s acquisition by North American Lithium Inc. – a Jilin Jien Nickel Industry Co. subsidiary – of the nearby Quebec Lithium Mine. North American Lithium is reportedly nearing completion of its processing plant and expects to produce 23,000 tonnes of battery-grade lithium carbonate annually.
