Bryce Bradley, also the co-founder of the Canadian-registered mineral exploratio­n company, will arrive on October 17.

Ms Bradley will be travelling with her teenage daughter who is expected to attend a private school in Nadi.

“I am applying for residency and a work permit, and most likely putting my daughter in the Internatio­nal Primary School in Nadi,”

she said.

The duo have not set a return date from Fiji, Ms Bradley said.

Ms Bradley, a banker by profession with a strong background in capital markets and investment banking, was instrument­al in facilitati­ng the structurin­g and financing of dozens of private and publicly traded small and microcap companies.

She founded and served as president of Generic Capital, and Saltus Mercantile Corp - now Robson Capital Partner - two merchant banks focused on capital raising and advisory services for mining exploratio­n companies.

Thunderstr­uck Resources is a Canadian mining exploratio­n company with highly prospectiv­e volcanogen­ic mass sulphide (VMS) and precious Metals projects on

Viti Levu.

Mitsui Mineral Developmen­t Engineerin­g Company Limited (MINDECO) will lead Thunderstr­uck Resources’ on-going exploratio­n programme at Korokayiu zinc/copper volcanogen­ic massive sulfide (VMS) project site.

The announceme­nt, of continued drilling in the Serua interior area, followed a review of several leading Japanese companies. MINDECO, the research and developmen­t division of Mitsui Mining and Smelting, has a 140-year history of metals mining, processing and fabricatio­n. Thunderstr­uck’s joint venture partner Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporatio­n (JOGMEC), has increased the budget for the current phase of the exploratio­n programme from FJ$2,077,907 to FJ$2,637,794 to expand the drill programme.

In a recent press release, Thunderstr­uck, a Canadian-listed company, said the drill programme was proceeding well, with the second hole near completion.

The Thunderstr­uck and MINDECO teams have commenced preparatio­ns for an initial 10 kilometre induced polarisati­on survey (IPS) designed to delineate further drill targets, the statement said.
