Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Business Operations

Business Operations

Thunder Mountain Gold, Inc. (“Thunder Mountain” or “the Company”) was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Idaho on November 9, 1935, under the name of Montgomery Mines, Inc. In April 1978, the Montgomery Mines Corporation was obtained by a group of the Thunder Mountain property holders and changed its name to Thunder Mountain Gold, Inc., with the primary goal to further develop their holdings in the Thunder Mountain Mining District, located in Valley County, Idaho. Thunder Mountain Gold, Inc. takes its name from the Thunder Mountain Mining District, where its principal lode mining claims were located. For several years, the Company’s activities were restricted to maintaining its property position and exploration activities. During 2005, the Company sold its holdings in the Thunder Mountain Mining District. During 2007, the Company acquired the South Mountain Mines property in southwest Idaho and initiated exploration activities on that property.

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Thunder Mountain Resources, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated and any significant related party transactions have been disclosed.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2009.

For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Exploration Stage Enterprise

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting and according to the provisions of SFAS No. 7, “Accounting for Development Stage Enterprises,” as it devotes substantially all of its efforts to acquiring and exploring mining interests that will eventually provide sufficient net profits to sustain the Company’s existence. Until such interests are engaged in commercial production, the Company will continue to prepare its financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with entities in the exploration stage.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior years’ data to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of reported operations or stockholders’ equity (deficit.).

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash in banks and highly liquid short term investments with original maturities when acquired of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash was held in a Merrill Lynch money market fund on June 30, 2009, which may not be covered by insurance of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

SFAS 157 requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. SFAS 157 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

·

Level 1: Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

·

Level 2: Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

·

Level 3: Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, investments, prepaid expenses, income taxes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed using straight line depreciation methods with useful lives of three to seven years. Major additions and improvements are capitalized. Costs of maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the associated assets, are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. When there is a disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in net income.

 Mining Properties and Claims

The Company capitalizes costs for mining properties and claims in accordance with EITF 04-02, which when applied to the Company, generally requires capitalization of costs of acquiring mineral properties, while costs to maintain mineral rights and leases are expensed as incurred. Exploration costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Should a property reach the production stage, these capitalized costs would be amortized using the units-of-production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves. Mineral properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and any subsequent losses are charged to operations at the time of impairment. If a property is abandoned or sold, its capitalized costs are charged to operations.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recognized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” whereby deferred income tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is recognized on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2006. The purpose of FIN 48 is to clarify and set forth consistent rules for accounting for uncertain tax positions in accordance with SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of this interpretation are required to be reported separately as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. The adoption of FIN 48 had no material effect on the financial statements. The Company has evaluated all tax positions for open years and has concluded that it has no material unrecognized tax benefits.

Reclamation and Remediation

The Company’s operations have been, and are subject to, standards for mine reclamation that have been established by various governmental agencies. The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which the Company incurs a legal obligation for the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. A corresponding asset is also recorded and depreciated over the life of the asset. After the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the liability will be adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. Determination of any amounts recognized upon adoption is based upon numerous estimates and assumptions, including future retirement costs, future inflation rates and the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rates.

For non-operating properties, the Company accrues costs associated with environmental remediation obligations when it is probable that such costs will be incurred and they are reasonably estimable. Such costs are based on management’s estimate of amounts expected to be incurred when the remediation work is performed.

Share-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R), a revision of SFAS 123, “Share-based payment.” SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees and directors, including grants of employee stock options, be measured at fair value and expensed in the statement of operations over the service period. In addition to the recognition of expense in the financial statements, under SFAS 123(R), any excess tax benefits received upon exercise of options will be presented as a financing activity inflow rather than as an adjustment of operating activity as presented in prior years.

Net Loss Per Share

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” requires dual presentation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of all income statements issued after December 15, 1997, for all entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities. The dilutive effect of convertible and exercisable securities would be:

For the periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the effect of the Company’s outstanding options and common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, only basic EPS is presented.

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which delayed the effective date of FASB Statement 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, excluding those that are recognized or disclosed in financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis (that is, at least annually). For purposes of applying the FSP, nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities include all assets and liabilities other than those meeting the definition of a financial asset or a financial liability in SFAS 159. This FSP deferred the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for items within the scope of this FSP. The Company had previously adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of FAS 157-2 did not have a material effect on the Company.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position (FSP) APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement).” This FSP specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. This FSP was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”) and SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.” SFAS 141(R) requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements, continued

In April 2009, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 which amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 were effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the Company adopted FSP No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, which provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This FSP also provides guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP No. FAS 157-4 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, which amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities.  The FSP was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3.

Income Taxes

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, signed into law on February 17, 2009, extended the carryback period for 2008 net operating losses from two up to five years for small businesses. As a result, the tax net operating loss for 2008 was carried back to 2005 and resulted in a current income tax benefit and associated receivable at June 30, 2009 of $59,841.

4.

Stockholders’ Equity

On January 25, 2008, the Company changed the state of incorporation from Idaho to Nevada, changed the par value of common stock from $0.05 to $0.001 and increased the authorized shares to 200,000,000. The Company also authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001. No preferred shares have been issued.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2009 155,000 options were exercised for which the Company received $15,550 in cash.  These options, granted in 2005 and 2006, contained an anti-dilution clause and resulted in 283,889 shares issued for the options exercised.  At June 30, 2009, the Company recognized share-based compensation for an officer and nonemployee director of $8,000 and $17,550, respectively, in Management and administration expense representing the fair value of stock calculated by comparing the fair value of the options pre and post modification to determine the incremental value.

Related Party Transactions

On June 26, 2009 the Board unanimously approved a resolution authorizing a bridge loan from E. James Collord, the Company’s CEO and a director, and Leta Mae Collord in the amount of $40,000 for funding and operational capital to meet the Company’s day to day operational needs.  The entire balance of the loan including interest is due in full no later than February 28, 2010.  As of June 30, 2009 the Company had borrowed $30,000 against the bridge loan and had accrued interest expense of $39.

On June 1, 2009 the Board unanimously approved a resolution authorizing a voluntary temporary reduction in salary for Eric Jones, the Company’s CFO and a director, from $75,000 to $12,000 per year in order to facilitate this season’s exploration goals and growth of the company.  As of June 30, 2009 the Company recorded $5,250 in deferred salaries.

6.

Subsequent events

On August 7, 2009, the Company closed a private offering of securities solely to accredited investors. The offering completed consisted of 375,000 Units priced at $0.20 each; each Unit consisting of a share of common stock, $0.001 par value, and a warrant to purchase common stock for $0.30 per share. As a result of completion of the offering, a total of 375,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, and warrants to acquire 375,000 shares of common stock were issued to the purchasers. The Company had received $76,000 of subscriptions for this placement during the six months ended June 30, 2009. There were no registration rights granted in connection with the offering. No Placement Agent was used, and no commissions were paid.

No other events have occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date and through August 14, 2009, the date of filing the Company’s 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that would require adjustment to or disclosure in these financial statements or notes thereto.

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include the following: inability to locate property with mineralization, lack of financing for exploration efforts, competition to acquire mining properties; risks inherent in the mining industry, and risk factors that are listed in the Company's reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Management's discussion and analysis is intended to be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited financial statements and the integral notes thereto for the quarter ending June 30, 2009. The following statements may be forward- looking in nature and actual results may differ materially.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand our financial condition. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and the accompanying integral notes (“Notes”) thereto. The following statements may be forward-looking in nature and actual results may differ materially.

The Company was able to meet its immediate financial obligations during the second quarter. In an effort to conserve cash flow, officers agreed to salary reductions from a total of $17,400 per month to $12,150 per month. Eric Jones, the Company’s CFO and a director, agreed to a reduced salary of $1,000 per month until financial conditions improve.  Jim Collord, the Company’s President, CEO and a director, remained on a minimal salary of $1,000 per month, this marking one year at this rate.  Pete Parsley remained on full salary, but saw no increases.  A private placement initiated on February 1, 2009, remained open during the period, and continuing into the third quarter until terminated on August 7, 2009. However, management remains very optimistic that sufficient funding from outside sources will be available as metal prices continue to move higher.

The Company is still awaiting a tax refund from the Internal Revenue Service of approximately $59,000 that was delayed due to paperwork backlog.  In order to bridge the financial shortfall this caused, a loan of $40,000 was arranged between the Company and its President and his wife.  

The Company maintains its offices in Boise, Idaho. This is the primary work area for the South Mountain Project and is utilized primarily by Pete Parsley and Eric Jones. Jim Collord will continue to work from his home office in Elko, Nevada as well as in the Boise office.

A discussion of activities conducted during the reporting period and the plan of operation follows for the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Thunder Mountain Resources, Inc. and South Mountain Mines, Inc.

1.

South Mountain Project, Owyhee County, Idaho (Thunder Mountain Resources, Inc. / South Mountain Mines, Inc.)

Field data gathered during the 2008 season continued to be interpreted during the reporting period. The information includes drill hole assay results, underground sampling and mapping and surface mapping and sampling, as well as a further evaluation of the regional geologic setting of South Mountain. The results of the drilling program and other activities were reported in the Company’s 2008 10-K filed in April, 2009.

With the lease obtained in 2009 on a third parcel of private land located in the target area, situated to the south of the main mined area, the land package consists of approximately 56 acres.  This brings the total private land under lease to approximately 545 acres, plus the 17 patented claims (326 acres) that the Company owns outright and 21 unpatented claims (290 acres) for a total of 1,161 acres controlled by the Company.

14

Anomalous gold mineralization was discovered through rock chip sampling and a soil orientation survey on private land leased by the Company. All 20 rock chip samples obtained from outcrop and float in the mineralized area were anomalous with gold values ranging from 0.047 ppm to 5.81 ppm. In a 24-sample, 100-foot spaced soil orientation survey in one area resulted in 23 of the samples being anomalous with gold values ranging up to 0.31 ppm. All assays were completed by ALS Chemex in Elko, Nevada.

The gold mineralization occurs in a multi-lithic intrusive breccia that covers an area of at least 60 acres and is oriented parallel to copper, zinc, silver, gold, and lead mineralization at the main South Mountain located one-half mile to the north. The breccia has sub-angular fragments of sulfidized and potassically altered quartz monzonite and silicified fragments of metasediments.

Although this anomalous breccia zone is located approximately 2,000 to 2,500 feet south of the main Laxey Marble sulfide replacement mineralization, Management believes that it could be associated with a potentially mineralized intrusive that is not exposed at the surface. This is supported by the fact that the anomalous intrusive breccia zone exhibits “explosive” texture with multi-lithologic components that consists of multiple intrusive phases as well as fragments of silicified schist that is part of the metasediment package that outcrops in the area. In addition, the Laxey Marble and associated mineralization dips southward toward the area where a buried intrusive may be source of the mineralizing event.

Thunder Mountain Gold is systematically mapping and sampling the multi-lithic intrusive breccia areas at South Mountain to define the surface extent of the anomalous gold mineralization. The South Mountain property is a precious metals project, with base metal mineralization at the core. Work completed by the Company during 2008 demonstrated that there is a potential for deeper base metal-gold mineralization associated and a larger gold system surrounding the historic mine. An extensive sample soil geochemical survey over the target area is planned to be completed by fall of 2009.

2.

Trout Creek Claims, Lander County, Nevada (Thunder Mountain Resources, Inc.)

No additional fieldwork was done during the reporting period on Thunder Mountain Resources’ Trout Creek Claim Group located in Lander County, Nevada.

3.

Portland Claim Group, Mohave County, Arizona (Thunder Mountain Resources, Inc.)

No additional work was conducted on the 19 unpatented mining claims totaling approximately 380 acres at the Portland property that is located approximately 30 miles northwest of Kingman, Arizona.

4.

Gold Hill Claim Group, La Paz County, Arizona (Thunder Mountain Resources, Inc.)

No additional field work was conducted during the quarter on the 22 unpatented mining claims of the Gold Hill Claim Group in La Paz County, Arizona.

5.

West Tonopah Claim Group, Esmeralda County, Nevada (Thunder Mountain Gold, Inc.)

No additional work was completed on the Thunder Mountain Gold’s West Tonopah claim group located in Esmeralda County. District activity will be monitored. Potential joint venture partners on the claim group will be sought during 2009.

6.

Clover Mountain Claim Group, Owyhee County, Idaho (Thunder Mountain Gold, Inc.)

During 2008, Thunder Mountain Gold had completed a 215 sample soil geochemical survey on the Clover Mountain property located 30 miles southwest of Grand View in Owyhee County, Idaho.   Sampling conducted on 200’x 200’ grid spacing has defined two northeast tending soil anomalies with gold values ranging from 0.020 ppm to 0.873 ppm.  The gold anomalies are approximately 1,000’ in length and approximately 300’ in width.  The gold anomalies are associated with northeast trending structures with accompanying quartz stockwork veining in an exposure of Cretaceous/Tertiary granite.  A 2,500’ base metal soil anomaly is observed trending northwest proximal to rhyolite and rhyodacitic dikes which intrude the granitic stock.

Recent rock chip sampling within the area of the anomaly has identified quartz veining with gold values ranging from 3.6 ppm to 4.29 ppm.  Additional field work is planned for 2009 to define the limits of the anomalous quartz veins.

The Clover Mountain property consists of 40 unpatented mining claims totaling approximately 800 acres.  Gold mineralization appears to be associated with subtle stockwork quartz veining in a granitic stock which has been intruded by northeast and northwest trending rhyolitic dikes. The property is overlain by locally silicified rhyolitic tuff. Two confidentiality agreements have been signed with major mining companies that will be reviewing the Clover Mountain geology.

Results of Operations:

The Company had no revenues and no production for the second calendar quarters of 2009 and 2008. Total expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $91,824, or approximately 42%, to $125,165 compared with $216,989 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, due largely to decreased management and administrative expense and legal and accounting expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Management and administrative costs in second quarter of 2009 decreased by $71,632 over the second quarter of 2008, to $86,847 as of June 30, 2009, primarily as a reduction in Investor Relations costs, salary expense and an overall reduction in operations. Legal and accounting costs decreased by $18,118 over the second quarter of 2008, to $17,618 due to Sarbanes Oxley compliance costs recognized during the second quarter of 2008. As a result of these decreased expenses during the second quarter of 2009, the Company reported a net loss of $125,202 ($0.01 per share), compared to a net loss of $215,704 ($0.02 per share) in 2008. Net loss per share was based on weighted average number of shares of 14,845,230 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and 11,968,547 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

The Company had no revenues and no production for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Total expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $63,876, or approximately 17%, to $315,069 compared with $378,945 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, due largely to decreases in management and administrative expense and legal and accounting expense during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Management and administrative costs in six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $47,107 over the six months ended June 30, 2008, to $209,107 as of June 30, 2009, primarily as a reduction in Investor Relations costs, salary expense and an overall reduction in operations.  Legal and accounting costs decreased by $8,298 over the six months ended June 30, 2008, to $53,825 due to Sarbanes Oxley compliance costs recognized during the second quarter of 2008. As a result of these decreased expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company reported a net loss of $255,230 ($0.02 per share), compared to a net loss of $375,653 ($0.03 per share) for the comparable 2008 period. Net loss per share was based on weighted average number of shares of 14,799,863 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 11,942,935 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

As of the end of the second quarter of 2009, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $56,631 and maintained its liquid assets in a Merrill Lynch tax-exempt cash management fund. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 2009 of $35,399 are considered inadequate to meet its current and near-term corporate obligations. Both during and subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2009, management was working with potential investors for placing additional equity in a private placement, and alternatively, negotiating with multiple companies in the industry to secure additional operating funds through joint ventures, mergers or other cooperative working arrangements.

At the end of the reporting quarter, the Company had total current liabilities of $170,096, consisting of $58,846 in trade accounts payable, $5,250 of deferred salary to a corporate officer, $30,000 payable under a bridge loan arrangement with a Company officer and $76,000 stock subscriptions payable.

While the Company does not currently have cash sufficient to support an exploration program as extensive and ambitious as that undertaken during 2008, a scaled-back program can be employed to advance our exploration properties utilizing the following resources:

·

At June 30, 2009, we have $35,399 cash in our bank accounts.

·

A Federal tax refund due of $59,841.

·

Reduction of our non-exploration monthly burn rate to a current level of approximately $20,000, which we believe leaves us with cash sufficient to support reduced Company operations for the next 12 months.

·

Management and the Board have not undertaken plans or commitments that exceed the cash available to the Company. We do not include in this consideration any additional investment funds mentioned below. Management is committed to manage expenses of all types so as to not exceed the on-hand cash resources of the Company at any point in time, now or in the future.

·

Management continues to review the geologic understanding of its six properties. Information has been assembled on them in order to interest potential joint venture or strategic partners on them.

Despite the current credit and securities markets and worldwide economic downturn, we believe we can continue to attract investment dollars in coming months and years. The Company will also consider other sources of funding, including potential mergers or farm-out of some of its exploration properties.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net cash used for operating activities was $267,274, consisting of our 2009 net operating loss reduced by non-cash expenses and net cash provided by changes in current assets and current liabilities, most notably $59,841 that will be provided by refunds for income taxes paid in a prior year. This compares with $385,880 used by operations for the 2008 six month period. Cash used in investing activities totaled $22,010 to purchase mining leasehold interests, compared to cash used of $13,826 for the year ended June 30, 2008 to purchase equipment. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $121,550 consisting of $76,000 provided by sales of common stock, $15,550 provided by the exercise of stock options and $30,000 provided by short-term borrowings from a related party compared with $300,000 in proceeds from the sale of stock for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend on many factors, including timing, cost and progress of our exploration efforts, our evaluation of, and decisions with respect to, our strategic alternatives, and costs associated with the regulatory approvals. We have several options available for

17

financing, our exploration programs, including raising additional funds from a second public offering, a private placement, mergers, and farm-outs or strategic partnerships.

In order to carry out the detailed expanded exploration work at South Mountain and other properties, the Company is currently pursuing sources of funding, including private placements, potential mergers or farm-out of some of its exploration properties. Additional financing may be required to meet our exploration and corporate expenses incurred during the next 12 months.

The Company owns outright the South Mountain Mine property in Owyhee County, Idaho that consists of 17 patented mining claims totaling approximately 326 acres, for which Management has recorded the property in the Company’s financial statements for $357,497.

The Company owns outright three 4-wheel drive vehicles that are used for exploration and project work, as well as miscellaneous field equipment and office furniture. It also leases office space in Garden City, Idaho.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There is no established market for trading the Common Stock of the Company. The market for the Company’s common stock is limited, and as such shareholders may have difficulty reselling their shares when desired or at attractive market prices.  The Common Stock is not regularly quoted in the automated quotation system of any registered securities system or association.  The Common Stock of the Company is traded on the “over-the-counter” market maintained by the Financial Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and is listed on the OTC electronic bulletin board under the symbol of "THMG".  The Company’s common stock has continued to trade in low volumes and at low prices. Some investors view low-priced stocks as unduly speculative and therefore not appropriate candidates for investment. Many institutional investors have internal policies prohibiting the purchase or maintenance of positions in low-priced stocks.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of, and with the participation of, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequately designed and effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in applicable rules and forms.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have also determined that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for accurate required disclosure to be made on a timely basis.

Changes In Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this report, with the exception of the following improvements, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

18

In an effort to reduce the severity of segregation of duties issues identified in the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K, and to add technical accounting expertise to its financial reporting processes, the Company expanded its engagement with an accounting firm include entry and review of accounting transactions and perform all quarterly close functions. The same firm has been preparing the Company’s financial statements, notes to the financial statements and the portions of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of its 10-K and 10-Q beginning in the second quarter of 2008.  Management believes this improvement to its internal controls over financial reporting will address the most serious aspects of a material weakness reported in the 2008 Form 10-K.

On February 15, 2009, the Company initiated a private offering of securities solely to accredited investors. The offering consisted of a minimum offering of 1,250,000 Units priced at $0.20 each. Each Unit consists of a share of common stock, $0.001 par value, and a warrant to purchase common stock for $0.30 per share. There were no registration rights granted in connection with the offering. The Company was authorized to retain a Placement Agent; however, there was no placement agent for the Private Placement.
