Thundermin Resources Inc. Completes $625,000 Non-Brokered Private Placement

TORONTO, Jan 8, 2014 - Thundermin Resources Inc. ("Thundermin") (TSX VENTURE:THR) announces that it has completed its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing for aggregate gross proceeds of $625,000 (the "Offering"). On closing, Thundermin issued 11,800,000 flow-through units (the "FT Units") at a price of $0.05 per FT Unit ($590,000) and 700,000 non-flow-through units (the "Normal Units") at a price of $0.05 per Normal Unit ($35,000) to accredited investors.

Each FT Unit consists of one flow-through common share and one half of one non-transferrable common share purchase warrant (each, a "FT Warrant"). Each Normal Unit consists of one common share and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant (each, a "Normal Warrant" and together with the FT Warrants, the "Warrants"). Each whole FT Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase an additional common share of Thundermin at a price of $0.07 per share for a period of 18 months from the date of closing of the Offering. Each Normal Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase an additional common share of Thundermin for a period of 24 months from the date of closing of the Offering. The Warrants will be subject to an early call provision. In the event that Thundermin's shares trade at a weighted average price of $0.14 per share or more for a period of at least 20 consecutive trading days, Thundermin will have the right, upon giving notice in writing to the Warrant holders, to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 30 days from the date that notice was provided. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a four month hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws.

In connection with the Offering, Thundermin paid finder's fees of $35,700 to certain eligible arm's length finders.

The proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund work on Thundermin's exploration projects in Canada that qualify as "Canadian exploration expenses" under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and for general working capital purposes. In particular, the funds will be used to fund Thundermin's share of an approximately 3,800 metre diamond drilling program, along with 50% joint venture partner Rambler Metals and Mining Canada Limited ("Rambler"), on the Little Deer copper project located approximately 10 km north of Springdale in north-central Newfoundland.

An aggregate of 1,000,000 FT Units were acquired by an insider of Thundermin (the "Insider Subscription"). Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), the Insider Subscription is a "related party transaction". Thundermin is exempt from the formal valuation requirement of MI 61-101 in connection with the Insider Subscription in reliance on section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 as no securities of the Company are listed or quoted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ stock market or any other stock exchange outside of Canada and the United States. Additionally, Thundermin is exempt from obtaining minority shareholder approval in connection with the Insider Subscription in reliance on section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the value of the Insider Subscription will not exceed 25% of Thundermin's market capitalization prior to the closing of the Offering.
