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, 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. In 2008, the Company changed its situs from the State of Idaho to the State of Nevada.

Exploration Stage Enterprise

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting and according to “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.

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.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to prior periods’ data to the current presentation. A reclassification has been made to prior periods’ data for certain management salaries, travel expenses and the fees of consultants to more accurately reflect comparative exploration costs. These reclassifications have no effect on the reported results of operations or stockholders’ equity.

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 six months ended June 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2010.

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, 2009.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date.  Translation adjustments are shown as part of other income (expense).  Revenues, costs, and expenses are translated using an average rate.  Realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statement of operations.

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, 2010, which may not be covered by insurance of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

Fair Value Measures

Our financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. These instruments do not require recurring re-measurement of fair value.

Convertible Debt

From time to time, the Company enters into transactions which contain conversion privileges, the settlement of which may entitle the holder or the Company to settle obligations by issuance of Company securities. When the Company enters transactions which allow obligations to be settled by the issuance of Company securities, beneficial fair value is estimated under appropriate accounting literature.

New accounting pronouncements

In January 2010, the ASC guidance for fair value measurements was updated to require additional disclosures related to movements of assets among Levels 1 and 2 of the three-tier fair value hierarchy. Also, a reconciliation of purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of anything valued with a Level 3 method is required.  Disclosure regarding fair value measurements for each class of assets and liabilities will be required. The updated guidance was adopted by the Company in its quarter ending March 31, 2010, except for disclosures about the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  Adoption of this updated guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 acquiring mineral properties and expenses costs to maintain mineral rights and leases 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

The Company recognizes deferred income tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period 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. 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

The Company 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, 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

GAAP requires dual presentation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of the statements of operations 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, 2010 and 2009, the effect of the Company’s outstanding options and common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, only basic EPS is presented.

2.

Stockholders’ Equity

The Company’s common stock is at $0.001 par value with 200,000,000 shares authorized. The Company also has 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001. No preferred shares have been issued.

On May 10, 2010, the Company issued 1.25 million Units at $0.20 per Unit in a private placement for net proceeds of $250,000. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and one Series A common stock purchase warrant. Each Series A warrant is exercisable at $0.20 for one share of common stock and one-half Series B common stock purchase warrant. Each whole Series B warrant would be exercisable into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The warrants are callable by the Company in the event that the Company’s stock trades above $0.25 in

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

the case of the Series A warrants, and above $0.94 for the Series B warrants. The Company has accounted for the warrants as a derivative which has been valued using a Black Scholes fair value model. The Company has allocated $53,125 of the proceeds from the private placement to a long term warrant liability and has recognized $12,500 loss on the warrants at June 30, 2010, as a result of an increase in fair value between the placement and the end of the quarter.

As consideration for a sponsorship agreement, Haywood Securities, Inc, a Canadian broker dealer, was issued 200,000 shares of stock on January 6, 2010, that were valued at $0.22 per share, the market price on the issue date for a total cost of $44,000. This amount was expensed in Management and Administrative costs for Haywood Securities’ sponsorship of the Company on the TSX-V Exchange.

As authorized by Board Resolution on March 30, 2010, a total of 550,000 shares of common stock were issued to the Company’s Directors and three consultants. The stock was valued using a Black Scholes fair value model, and a stock payable of $93,500 was reflected in the Company’s long-term liabilities at March 31, 2010. The stock was issued on April 8, 2010.

The following is a summary of warrants for June 30, 2010:

Because each Series A Warrant are exercisable for one common share and one half a Series B Warrant, the ultimate dilution possible for the Series A Warrants is 1,875,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

3.

Related Party Transactions

On March 31, 2010 the Board unanimously approved a resolution authorizing a bridge loan from E. James Collord, the Company’s CEO and a director, and his wife Leta Mae Collord, Mr. Collard’s wife, in the amount of $50,000 at an interest rate of 1% per month with the first payment due in thirty days. On May 12, 2010 the Board unanimously approved to increase the loan amount to $65,000.  The purpose of the bridge loan was to provide the Company operational capital to meet its day-to-day operational needs. These funds are to be repaid upon receipt of funds from future financing transactions and shall not exceed 120 days from the date of the resolution. In the event the loan is not repaid in full within 90 days after the due date, the Company will deed 10 acres of surface estate at its South Mountain property comprising an area that surrounds the camp buildings.  

The Collords’ have the option that any portion or the amount loaned can be convertible to Company stock at the lower of the market price on the date of conversion, or $0.15 per share. The price for the Company’s common stock exceeded the $0.15 conversion price stated in the loan on the days funds were advanced under the loan. Management determined that the favorable exercise price represents a beneficial conversion feature. Using the intrinsic value method at the date of commitment a discount of $19,333 was recognized on the loan. The discount is being amortized over the loan term using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded $14,500 in interest expense related to the amortization of the discount.  As of

June 30, 2010 the outstanding balance of the loan was 49,381, net of the remaining discount of $4,832. Total interest expense of $2,794 has been recognized on this related party loan.

4.

Stock incentive plan

On May 25, 2010, the Board of Directors, subject to shareholder ratification, approved a Stock Incentive Plan (the “SIP”).  The SIP will be administered by the Compensation Committee or Board of Directors and provides for the grant of stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, and incentive awards to eligible individuals including directors, executive officers and advisors that have furnished bona fide services to the Company not related to the sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction.

The SIP has a fixed maximum percentage of 10% of the Company’s outstanding shares that are eligible for the plan pool, whereby the number of Shares under the SIP increase automatically with increases in the total number of shares. This “Evergreen” provision permits the reloading of shares that make up the available pool for the SIP, once the options granted have been exercised. The number of shares available for issuance under the SIP automatically increases as the total number of shares outstanding increase, including those shares issued upon exercise of options granted under the SIP, which become re-available for grant subsequent to exercise of option grants. The number of shares subject to the SIP and any outstanding awards under the SIP will be adjusted appropriately by the Board of Directors if the Company’s common stock is affected through a reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, restructuring, reclassification, dividend (other than quarterly cash dividends) or other distribution, stock split, spin-off or sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets.

The SIP also has terms and limitations, including without limitation that the exercise price for stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the SIP must equal the stock’s fair market value, based on the closing price per share of common stock, at the time the stock option or stock appreciation right is granted. The SIP is also subject to other limitation including; a limited exception for certain stock options assumed in corporate transactions; stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the SIP may not be “re-priced” without shareholder approval; stock-based awards under the SIP are subject to either three-year or one-year minimum vesting requirements, subject to exceptions for death, disability or termination of employment of an employee or upon a change of control; and shareholder approval is required for certain types of amendments to the SIP. No grants have been made under the SIP.

5.

Subsequent events  

Subsequent to the quarter end, on July 13, 2010, the Company initiated a private placement offering of 6 million Units at an offering price of $0.20 CDN per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock. The warrants are for a term of two years with an exercise price of $0.20 CDN for the first twelve months and $0.35 CDN thereafter. The warrants are callable at the Company’s option in the event the Company’s common shares trade at a weighted average price of $0.50 CDN for a period of 20 consecutive trading days. A finder’s fee equal to 10% of the amounts raised plus warrants equal to 10% of the underlying units sold in the private placement is payable.

Subscriptions for the full amount of the placement have been received for approximately $1,350,000 CDN, or approximately $1,305,000 USD. Payment into escrow is expected to occur on or about September 1, 2010.  Due to additional interest by other investors, the placement is believed to be over-subscribed and the offering is being extended to allow placement of additional Units as approved by the Company’s board.

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, 2010. 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 manage cash flow, officers continued their salary reductions from a total of per month to per month. Eric Jones salary rate of $8,333 was reinstated in the fourth quarter of 2009 and Jim Collord’s salary was increased at the beginning of the reporting quarter to 50% of his base, or $5,000 per month. He will remain at this level until financial conditions improve. Previously, Jim Collord had been at a minimal salary of $1,000 per month for nineteen months. Pete Parsley remained on full salary of $9,000 per month, or $108,000 per year, but saw no increases.

On March 30, 2010, the Board approved stock grants to Management and Directors, for service on the Company’s Board in 2008 and 2009, with the grants being delivered on April 8, 2010. The market value of the stock grants was $93,500, with $42,500 allocable to non-employee Directors. Excluding expenses reimbursed as incurred, these stock grants represent the only remuneration these non-employee Directors received.

The Company maintains its office in the Boise, Idaho area in Garden City. 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.

The primary focus of Management during the second quarter was to continue to advance the dual listing of the Company with the Toronto Stock Exchange – Venture Listing (TSX-V). The Company will continue to trade in the U.S. on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. The Company engaged a Canadian legal firm in Vancouver, B.C. to assist with the listing application, and Haywood Securities was retained as a sponsor. The common shares of the Issuer have been conditionally approved for listing on the Exchange. It is anticipated that the Company will receive final approval on its listing during the 3rd quarter of 2010.

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 (South Mountain Mines, Inc.)

The Company’s land package at South Mountain consists of a total of private land under lease to approximately 542 acres, the original 17 patented claims (326 acres) that the Company owns outright plus and 21 unpatented claims (290 acres) for a total of approximately 1,158 acres.

As part of the TSX-V listing efforts, the Company commissioned Northwest Groundwater and Geology of Eagle, Idaho, as independent Qualified Person to upgrade the South Mountain Technical Report completed in 2008 by Kleinfelder to a NI 43-101 compliant resource report. Greg Wittman, Professional Geologist and Qualified Person per TSX-V rules, and owner of Northwest Groundwater and Geology, completed the report. The Report was accepted by the TSX-V. The approved 43-101 is one of the primary components needed to achieve approval for the TSX-V listing.

Fieldwork on the South Mountain Project began during the reporting period.   Design for road and pad construction for exploration of the multi-lithic gold breccia target was completed.  Centra Consulting was engaged

12

to complete the necessary storm water plan for the site work, and EPA approval was received for construction during late July 2010.  Road and pad construction on the breccia target commenced the first part of August with a D8 dozer provided by Warner Construction of Boise, ID.  Detailed road cut sampling will be completed once the road system has been done, this to further refine the target areas and outline any additional mineralized zones.

A reverse circulation drilling contractor provided a proposal for the drilling, and may mobilize as early as late August.  The initial round of drilling will be to test the three main targets associated with the mile-plus long gold breccia zone.  Drill holes are also being designed to test the down dip extensions of the Texas and DMEA 2 sulfide replacement ore shoots in the main mine area.  Although these two areas are being targeted separately, Management believes that they are both related to a buried mineralized porphyry molybdenum- or copper-gold system. Although the initial round of drilling will be completed by a reverse circulation drill, favorable geology and mineralization that is encountered will be followed by core drilling.  Some core work by be done coincidentally with the reverse circulation drilling.       

The Company received the data package developed by Kinross Gold USA Inc. during their multiple visits to South Mountain during the 2009 field season.  As part of the their fieldwork, they collected 55 of rock chip samples over the multi-lithic breccia outcrops, all of which had anomalous gold values that ranged up to 2913 parts per billion gold (0.085 ounce per ton).  This independent sample set confirmed the values obtained by Thunder Mountain over the past three field seasons.  The Kinross geologists wrote extensive reports on their interpretation of South Mountain, and made a recommendation for Kinross to conduct further work on the project.  

Two geologists from Barrick Gold’s Elko, Nevada exploration office visited South Mountain during June to make an initial evaluation of the project.  They spent two days sampling the outcrops and evaluating the gold breccia target.  Their results were encouraging enough that they will be returning to conduct further work in late August.

Jim Wright, consulting geophysicist located in Elko, Nevada, reviewed the regional open source geophysical data available for the South Mountain area, and developed a cost estimate for completing either an extensive ground magnetic or airborne draped magnetic survey over the project.  The compilation of open source data provided excellent information on the magnetic signature of the intrusive that likely relate to the mineralizing events, and has helped direct the Company to expand its area of geologic interest in the area.

2.

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

The Company’s land package at Trout Creek consists of 60 unpatented mining claims located approximately 20 miles south of Battle Mountain, Nevada.  The claims are located near Newmont’s Phoenix Mine and the Cove McCoy Mine (now in reclamation), and on a significant trend between Cortez Gold Mine’s Pipeline/Cortez Hills deposits and the Phoenix Mine.

Continued geologic interpretive work confirmed the structures within the pediment gravels that suggest that the thickness of valley fill gravel is not prohibitive for exploration, or for mining should a resource be delineated. The likelihood of shallow bedrock, coupled with the favorable structural setting identified by geophysics and favorable host rocks outcropping along the range front all support that there is a strong pediment target on the Trout Creek Claims.

Jim Wright, geophysical consultant, also compiled the open source geophysical data for the project area, and it essentially confirmed the new geologic interpretation of the pediment target.  Jim provided a recommendation on cost estimate to conduct a ground magnetic survey over the project area, this further refining the structures that area covered by valley fill pediment.

Barrick Gold has indicated their desire to develop a confidentiality agreement on the Trout Creek Project area in order to review the data.

3.

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

No additional fieldwork was done during the reporting period on the 19 unpatented mining claims totaling approximately 380 acres at the Portland property. The Portland property is located approximately 30 miles northwest of Kingman, Arizona.

4.

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

13

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 during the quarter on the West Tonopah claim group located in Esmeralda County, Nevada. The West Tonopah claim group consists of eight unpatented claims located 1.5 miles southwest of Tonopah, Nevada.

6.

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

The Clover Mountain property consists of 40 unpatented mining claims totaling approximately 800 acres located 30 miles southwest of Grand View in Owyhee County, Idaho. Rock chip sampling within the area of the anomaly has identified quartz veining with gold values ranging from 3.6 ppm to 16.5 ppm. Additional soil sampling conducted on 200’x 200’ grid spacing has defined two northeast trending soil anomalies with gold values ranging from 0.020 ppm to 0.873 ppm Au. 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.  Coarse visible gold was observed in some of the panning samples, and accounts for some of the variability in soil sample values taken from broad anomaly.  In addition, there is evidence of a historical small placer operation.

Kinross Gold USA visited the Clover Mountain claim group in 2009, and subsequently expressed that they had no interest in pursuing any additional work.  Barrick Gold geologists from their Elko, Nevada office visited the claims in May 2010.  They are believed to be planning a return trip during August or September of 2010.

Results of Operations:

The Company had no revenues and no production for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Total expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 increased by $76,148 and $231,625, or approximately 60% and 73% respectively, to $201,313 and $546,694 compared with $125,165 and $315,069 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 due to; increases in management and administrative expenses of $13,802 and $27,576 due to increase administrative activity in preparation for the 2010 exploration season; an increase of zero and $93,500 related to equity grants issued to Directors, Officers and consultants for their past and continued service to the Company and an increase in $29,178 and $43,740  for legal and accounting expenses related the Company’s efforts to obtain financing and to secure a listing on the TSX-V. Exploration expense increased by $35,364 and $71,713 as a result of increased exploration activity during the 2010 exploration season as compared to the same period in 2009. As a result of the net increase in expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 the Company reported a net loss of $228,306 and 574,772, or $0.01 and $0.03 on an earnings per share basis, compared to a net loss of $125,202 and $255,230, or $0.01 and $0.02 on an earning s per share basis in 2009. Net loss per share was based on weighted average number of shares of 19,992,810 and 19,387,889 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 14,845,230 and 14,799,863 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.

For the quarter end June 30, 2010, the Company had total current liabilities of $122,611 consisting of $37,380 in trade accounts payable, $14,318 in related party accounts payable, $522 in related-party interest payable, $21,000 in deferred salary to a corporate officer and $49,391 in a note payable to a Director and Officer of the Company. Current liabilities decreased by $47,485, or 28% compared to June 30, 2009 due to the reduction in stock subscription payable and a decrease in accounts payable which was partially offset by an increase in accounts and notes payable to related parties.  The Company has accounted for the warrants as a derivative which has been valued using a Black Scholes fair value model. The Company has allocated $53,125 of the proceeds from the private placement to a long term warrant liability and has recognized $12,500 loss on the warrant at June 30, 2010, as a result of an increase in fair value between the placement and the end of the quarter..

For the six months ended June 30, 2010 net cash used for operating activities was $393,503, consisting of our year to date net operating loss less non non-cash expenses for depreciation, stock compensation awards to officers and directors and amortization of the beneficial conversion feature embedded in the related party note payable.  This compares with $267,274 used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Cash used by investing activities was $3,380 and 22,010 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 for the purchase of mining claims. Cash provided by financing activities for the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $221,925 and $121,550 respectively. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was mainly due to the $250,000 raise through the private placement during

the quarter, along with net cash borrowings from related parties of $21,924 less $50,000 in payments on notes payable.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

We are an exploration stage company and have incurred losses since our inception.  The Notes to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, together with the opinion of our independent auditors included “going concern” explanatory paragraphs.  Subsequent to the filing of our Form 10-K on March 31, 2010, we have been successful in addressing those concerns. As a result, we have removed the explanatory paragraphs from the Notes to the Financial Statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Management actions in addressing the “going concern”:

While the Company does not currently have cash sufficient to support an exploration program as outlined in the 2010 business plan adopted by the Thunder Mountain Board, we believe that the survivability of Thunder Mountain Gold can be assured by the following:

·

We currently have approximately $90,000 cash in our bank accounts.

·

On May 10, 2010, the Company closed a private offering of 1.25 million units at a rate of $0.20 per unit for total proceeds of $250,000. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at price of $0.20 with a term of 18 months from the date of registration. No Placement Agent was used, and no commissions were paid.

·

Subsequent to the quarter end, on July 13, 2010, the Company initiated a private placement offering of 6 million Units at an offering price of $0.20 CDN per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock. The warrants are for a term of two years with an exercise price of $0.20 CDN for the first twelve months and $0.35 CDN thereafter. The warrants are callable at the Company’s option in the event the Company’s common shares trade at a weighted average price of $0.50 CDN for a period of 20 consecutive trading days. A finder’s fee equal to 10% of the amounts raised plus warrants equal to 10% of the underlying units sold in the private placement is payable. Subscriptions for the full amount of the placement have been received for approximately $1,350,000 CDN, or approximately $1,305,000 USD.  Payment into escrow is expected to occur on or about September 1, 2010.  Due to additional interest by other investors, the placement is believed to be over-subscribed and the offering is being extended to allow placement of additional Units as approved by the Company’s board.

·

Our non-exploration monthly burn rate is currently approximately $25,000, therefore we believe we have cash sufficient to support 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 above.

·

Management will 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 is committed to proper management and spending restraint such that the Company is believed to be able to weather current disruptions in investment markets and continue to attract investment dollars in coming months and years.  

The Company’s future liquidity and capital requirements will depend on many factors, including timing, cost and progress of its exploration efforts, evaluation of, and decisions with respect to, its strategic alternatives, and costs associated with the regulatory approvals. 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.

15

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

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On May 10, 2010, the Company issued 1.25 million Units at $0.20 per Unit in a private placement for net proceeds of $250,000. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and one Series A common stock purchase warrant. Each Series A warrant is exercisable at $0.20 for one share of common stock and one-half Series B common stock purchase warrant. Each whole Series B warrant would be exercisable into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The warrants are callable by the Company in the event that the Company’s stock trades above $0.25 in the case of the Series A warrants and above $0.94 for the Series B warrants.     

16

On April 8, 2010, the Company issued a total of 550,000 shares of common stock at $0.17 per share to the Company’s officers, directors and three consultants. Of the total, officers and directors received 450,000 shares. The shares were valued using the market price of the stock on the date of grant, March 30, 2010. A stock payable and an associated compensation expense of $93,500 were reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2010.

As consideration for a sponsorship agreement, Haywood Securities, Inc, a Canadian broker dealer, was issued 200,000 shares of stock on January 6, 2010, that were valued at $0.22 per share, the market price on the issue date for a total cost of $44,000. This amount was expensed in Management and Administrative costs for Haywood Securities’ sponsorship of the Company on the TSX-V Exchange.

The offering and the shares issued for services and option grants are believed exempt from registration pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(2) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The securities offered, and sold and issued in connection with the private placements have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state or Canadian securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
