Thunder Mountain Gold, Inc. Announces Haywood Securities Sponsorship

Elko, Nevada, January 11, 2010: Thunder Mountain Gold, Inc. (OTCBB: "THMG") (Company) announced today that it has signed a Sponsorship Agreement with Haywood Securities Inc. -- Vancouver, British Columbia (Haywood), whereby Haywood has agreed to act as sponsor in connection with the Company`s proposed listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange - Venture Exchange (TSX-V). The sponsorship agreement is subject to the completion of satisfactory due diligence and the listing requirements of the TSX-V, and should not be construed as any assurance with respect to the merits of the transaction or the likelihood of completion.

It is anticipated that the Company`s TSX-V listing will be active sometime in early 2010, provided satisfactory completion of timely due diligence and meeting TSX-V listing requirements.

Additionally and further to the Letter of Intent ("LOI") dated September 8th 2009 between Thunder Mountain Gold and Kenai Resources, the Companies have mutually agreed to terminate the LOI after a full analysis of the challenging cross border tax implications of the transaction. Kenai Resources fully supports the listing of Thunder Mountain Gold on the TSX Venture Exchange and both companies will maintain open lines of future communication.

Jim Collord, President of Thunder Mountain, said of these new developments, "We are very excited about Haywood Securities support of our company in an effort to list our company on the TSX Venture Exchange. This dual listing will give investors in Canada a vehicle in which to participate in our company`s precious metals exploration activities."
