Who we are
The Muus Project is very prospective for gold, as well as for volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) deposits, with associated base and precious metals. A series of prominent ductile and brittle fault‐sets and splays transect the Project, including the Guercheville Deformation Zone, which is associated with numerous past and currently producing precious‐ and base‐metal mines and deposits in the District, including the recently discovered Nelligan gold deposit and Monster Lake. Blue Thunder has a strong leadership team able to advance the projects through the exploration stages, as well as having a solid track record in capital markets and financings. Working together our team has the tools for success.
