**Item 3.02 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

**Thunder Mountain Gold, Inc. (OTCQB: THMG; TSX-V: THM) ("Thunder Mountain Gold" or the "Company")** has entered into an agreement with MFD Investment Holdings SA **("MFD")** to implement a small-scale production framework for the South Mountain Project in Owyhee County, Idaho (the "**Project**"). The small-scale production framework will be implemented under an option agreement between the Company and MFD dated January 14, 2025 (as amended, the "**Option Agreement**"), as amended by agreement dated September 4, 2025 (the "**Amendment**"). The Option Agreement and Amendment were executed by the Company and MFD on September 5, 2025. Under the Option Agreement, the Company will grant to MFD the option to acquire a 10% interest in the South Mountain Project by MFD incurring an aggregate of $1.0 million in exploration expenditures on the Project by October 31, 2026 (the "**Option**"). Under the small-scale production framework, Thunder Mountain Gold will serve as operator (the "**Operator**"), and MFD will fund 100% of the qualifying capital required to advance to small-scale production. Following commencement of production, project revenues from small-scale production will be allocated 80% to MFD and 20% to THMG until MFD has recovered 1.5× its qualifying capital investment; thereafter revenues will be shared 50/50. Implementation remains subject to permitting, definitive budgets, and customary approvals. Small-scale production shall be limited to the earlier of: (i) a ten (10) year Life of Mine based on current resources; or (ii) cumulative extraction of 1,500,000 metric tonnes of Economic Ore.

**Details of the Option Agreement**

The operative provisions of the Option Agreement, including the grant of the Option, the exercise of the Option and the Bonus Shares (each as detailed below) will only be effective upon approval of the Option Agreement by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Upon effectiveness of the Option Agreement, MFD will have the exclusive and irrevocable Option to acquire, directly or indirectly through an affiliate, free of all encumbrances:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) an undivided 10% interest in the Project (the "**Earned Interest**"), by MFD incurring a total of US$1,000,000 in Expenditures (which will include approved expenses associated with production start-up activities) before October 31<sup>st</sup> 2026 (the "**Option Period**"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) a 0.5% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) resulting from the sale of any rock, gravel or sand from the lands that comprise the Project.

The Option will terminate in the event that MFD fails to pay, fund or invest the total amount required to exercise the Option and acquire the Earned Equity Interest on or before October 31<sup>st</sup>, 2026.

Subject to obtaining and maintaining all required permits and approvals, and subject to the Company's coordination of activities (as Operator) to avoid material interference with ongoing exploration and development, MFD shall have the right, during the Option Period, to undertake Small-Scale Production within the Project area.

In the event that MFD earns the Earned Interest and the Project has not been sold or joint ventured to a third party, a joint venture shall be formed and a formal joint venture agreement (the "**Joint Venture Agreement**") executed. Under the Joint Venture Agreement, the respective interests of each party at the time of the formation of the Joint Venture shall be:

------

THMG U.S.:90%, and

MFD: 10%.

and the deemed expenditures of the parties shall be as follows:

THMG U.S.: $9,000,000

MFD: $1,000,000.

The Joint Venture Agreement shall include the following terms:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) at the time of formation of the Joint Venture, THMG shall be the Operator of the Joint Venture and all decisions regarding further exploration and development of the Project will be determined by a management committee, to include one director or officer from each of THMG or THMG US (as THMG decides in its sole discretion) and MFD who will vote in accordance with their respective interest (the "**Management Committee**");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) exploration and development budgets will be determined and signed off by the Management Committee, at which time both parties then have one hundred and twenty (120) days to provide funds toward the Project or be diluted;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) if one party declines or fails to provide all or part of its required funding (based upon its then proportionate legal and beneficial interest), the other party can increase its funding to the amount budgeted;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the Company shall continue to be the Operator of the Joint Venture so long as it maintains at least a 50% Participating Interest;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) standard dilution will apply to the Joint Venture as follows:

Participating Contribution to Total Costs by a Party

Interest of a = <u>(including deemed expenditures)</u>

Party Contribution to Total Costs by

all Parties (including deemed expenditures).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) upon formation of the Joint Venture any Net Smelter Royalty payments made in accordance with the underlying royalties shall be made to the parties pro rata to their respective Participating Interests at the time the payment is made;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) in the event that the Operator determines not to propose a project program or fails to do so within 6 months of completion of the previous project program, the non-operator can propose and operate a project program;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) in the event that MFD elects not to participate or fails to fund its share of cash calls, the Company shall have the option to purchase MFD's interest for $1,000,000; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) MFD agrees to contribute up to $500,000 to maintain its initial 10% Participating Interest for the first $5,000,000 contributed by THMG U.S. to the Joint Venture by MFD engaging qualified consultants with the full power and capacity to conduct services as required. The engagement of such consultant shall be subject to pre-approval and mutual agreement of the Management Committee.

In addition, the Company has agreed to issue the following shares to MFD, subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) 1,000,000 common shares upon THMG reaching a $50,000,000 market cap for at least 30 consecutive trading days; and another

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) 2,000,000 common shares upon THMG reaching a $100,000,000 market cap for at least 30 consecutive trading days; and another

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) 3,000,000 shares upon THMG reaching a $200,000,000 market cap for at least 30 consecutive trading days.

and

**MFD Investment Holdings SA**, c/o Badertscher Rechtsanwälte AG, Grafenauweg 6, 6302, Zug, Switzerland ("MFD")

each a "Party" and collectively the "Parties."

**WHEREAS**:

A. THMG and MFD are parties to the Option Agreement dated 17<sup>th</sup> of January 2025 (the "Option Agreement"), pursuant to which MFD may earn an interest in the South Mountain Project (the "Project") on the terms and conditions set forth therein;

B. The Parties desire to amend the Option Agreement to extend certain timelines and incorporate additional terms relating to small-scale production rights, revenue sharing, expenditure approvals, and the overall life-of-mine (LoM) parameters, all on the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment; and

C. The Parties desire that all other terms and provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect except as expressly modified herein.

**NOW THEREFORE THIS AMENDMENT TO OPTION AGREEMENT WITNESSETH THAT**, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:

1. **INTERPRETATION**

1.1 Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Option Agreement.

1.2 For purposes of this Amendment:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) **"Economic Ore"** means ore from the Project capable of being mined and processed profitably under prevailing market conditions, applying mutually agreed cut-off grades, metallurgical recoveries, and processing assumptions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) **"Life of Mine" or "LoM"** means the ten (10) year period commencing on the date commercial small-scale production is first achieved under this Amendment, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the Agreement as amended.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) **"Net Proceeds (Small-Scale Production)"** means gross proceeds actually received from the sale of ore, concentrate, or other mineral products produced under Section 6(c) (as added herein), less (without duplication) third-party royalties payable on production, smelting/refining/treatment and assaying charges, transportation and insurance to point of sale, sales/withholding/value-added taxes on such sale (excluding income taxes), and marketing fees actually incurred and paid to unaffiliated third parties.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) **"Payback Threshold"** means an aggregate amount equal to one and one-half (1.5×) of MFD's **Total Qualifying Investment**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e) **"Project Area"** means the same geographic scope as "the Project," being the South Mountain Project lands covered by the Option Agreement. The Parties may further define "Project Area" explicitly in the Definitive Agreement to avoid any ambiguity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f) **"Small-Scale Production"** means production activities authorized under new Section 6(c) (as added herein).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g) **"Total Qualifying Investment"** means all Expenditures and other mutually approved capitalized costs incurred by MFD under the Agreement and this Amendment that are expressly designated in writing by the Parties as qualifying toward Payback Threshold (including, without limitation, agreed exploration, permitting, development, mine rehabilitation, site infrastructure, and production start-up costs).

1.3 **Amended "Expenditures":** The definition of **"Expenditures"** in Section 1 is amended to clarify that, for the avoidance of doubt, Expenditures **may include** exploration, permitting, development, mine rehabilitation, site infrastructure, and **production start-up activities**, to the extent **jointly approved in writing** by the Parties.

2. **EXTENSION OF TIMELINE**

2.1 Section 6(a) Date Extension.

Section 6(a) of the Agreement is amended by replacing "October 31st 2025" with "October 31st 2026".

2.2 General Savings (Other Fixed Dates).

To the extent any other fixed calendar dates appear in Section 6 of the Agreement for earn-in or related milestones, each such date is hereby extended by one (1) year on the same terms and conditions. This Section 2.2 is intended as a clarifying extension and shall not be construed to introduce new milestones where none exist.

3. **SMALL-SCALE PRODUCTION RIGHTS; LOM/VOLUME CAP**

3.1 New Section 6(c) - Small-Scale Production.

The Agreement is amended to add the following Section 6(c):

6(c) Small-Scale Production.

Subject to obtaining and maintaining all required permits and approvals, and subject to the Operator's (as defined in the Agreement) coordination of activities to avoid material interference with ongoing exploration and development, MFD shall have the right, during the Option Period, to undertake Small-Scale Production within the Project Area.

For clarity, the ten (10) year Life of Mine period shall commence only once Small-Scale Production achieves at least eighty percent (80%) of the agreed nameplate capacity, excluding permitting and construction time. The Small-Scale Production right shall end at the earlier of (i) ten (10) years from such commencement, or (ii) cumulative extraction of 1,500,000 metric tonnes, at which point this Amendment expires and the Project reverts to the Option Agreement, with MFD holding ten percent (10%) of SMMI and a net smelter return royalty of 0.5%.

------

3.2 New Section 6(d) - LoM/Volume Limitation.

The Agreement is amended to add the following Section 6(d):

6(d) LoM/Volume Limitation. Small-Scale Production shall be limited to the earlier of: (i) a ten (10) year Life of Mine based on current resources; or (ii) cumulative extraction of 1,500,000 metric tonnes of Economic Ore.

3.3 Operator; Coordination.

THMG remains the Operator under the Agreement unless otherwise agreed in writing or modified under a future joint venture agreement. The Operator will schedule and coordinate activities to ensure compliance with permits and to mitigate conflicts between exploration, development, and Small-Scale Production.

4. **REVENUE ALLOCATION FOR SMALL-SCALE PRODUCTION**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1 New Section 6(e) - Allocation of Net Proceeds.

The Agreement is amended to add the following Section 6(e):

6(e) Allocation of Net Proceeds (Small-Scale Production).

Net Proceeds (Small-Scale Production) shall be allocated as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. Eighty percent (80%) to MFD and twenty percent (20%) to THMG until MFD has achieved the Payback Threshold; and thereafter

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. Fifty percent (50%) to MFD and fifty percent (50%) to THMG for the remainder of the LoM or until the volume limit in Section 6(d) is reached, whichever is earlier.

For clarity, Net Proceeds may be negative in certain periods where deductions exceed revenues. Nothing in this Amendment obligates either Party to fund negative balances. The treatment of such negative balances, including any carry-forward mechanism, shall be further defined in the Definitive Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2 No Change to Third-Party Royalties. Nothing in this Amendment alters any third-party royalty obligations disclosed in the Agreement and its schedules, which continue to be borne in accordance with the Agreement.

5. **JOINT DISCRETION OVER EXPENDITURES; BUDGETS**

5.1 Communal Discretion.

The Parties reaffirm that Expenditures and other material Project costs during the Option Period shall be subject to mutual written approval, including any annual budgets and any material changes thereto.

7. **SUCCESSORS; CONTINUITY**

7.1 Binding Effect.

This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

7.2 Continuity on Transfer.

If THMG or its relevant subsidiary sells, farms-out, options, or otherwise transfers any interest in the Project, THMG shall ensure that any acquirer or JV counterparty assumes the obligations in this Amendment that run with the Project interest conveyed, such that MFD's rights under Sections 3-5 of this Amendment continue in full force (or are replaced with substantially equivalent rights and benefits).

8. **JV PATH; NO WAIVER OF EXISTING RIGHTS**

8.1 JV.

The Agreement's provisions regarding joint venture formation and operation remain in effect and are not waived or modified except as expressly set forth herein.

8.2 No Waiver; Conflicts.

Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, all terms of the Agreement remain unmodified and in full force and effect. In the event of a conflict between this Amendment and the Agreement, the terms of this Amendment shall control with respect to the subject matter hereof.

9.1 Governing Law; Counterparts.

This Amendment is governed by the same governing law as the Agreement and may be executed in counterparts (including electronically), each deemed an original and all together one and the same instrument.

***News Release***

 **Thunder Mountain Gold and MFD Establish Small-Scale Production <br>Agreement at South Mountain**

***THMG to operate while MFD Investment Holdings SA to fund 100%***

***in a non-dilutive Venture***

<br>**Boise, Idaho USA and Zug, Switzerland - September 8, 2025 - Thunder Mountain Gold, Inc. (OTCQB: THMG; TSX-V: THM) ("Thunder Mountain Gold" or the "Company") and MFD Investment Holdings SA ("MFD")** have executed a small-scale production agreement (the "Agreement") for the South Mountain Project in Owyhee County, Idaho (the "**Project**"). Under the small-scale production Agreement, Thunder Mountain Gold will serve as operator (the "**Operator**"), and MFD will fund 100% of the qualifying capital required to advance to small-scale production. Following commencement of production, project revenues from small-scale production will be allocated 80% to MFD and 20% to THMG until MFD has recovered 1.5× its qualifying capital investment; thereafter revenues will be shared 50/50 until 1.5 million tonnes are mined; then all revenues and production are 100% allocated to Thunder Mountain Gold. Implementation remains subject to permitting, definitive budgets, and customary approvals. The Agreement will be implemented under the option agreement between the Company and MFD dated January 14, 2025 (as amended, the "**Option Agreement**"), as amended by agreement dated September 4, 2025 (the "**Amendment**"). Under the Option Agreement, the Company will grant to MFD the option to acquire a 10% interest in the South Mountain Project by MFD incurring an aggregate of $1.0 million in exploration expenditures on the Project by October 31, 2026 (the "**Option**"). Investors are referred to the Form 8-K filed concurrently for a detailed summary of the material provisions of the Option Agreement.

"Advancing selective small-scale production without issuing equity keeps our balance sheet intact, creates positive cash flow, and positions the Company to pursue resource growth. We believe this combination of non-dilutive funding, operator control, and continued exploration focus-best supports shareholder value over time." commented Eric T. Jones, President & CEO.

**Strategic Rationale for Thunder Mountain Gold**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-dilutive pathway to potential cash flow: MFD carries the qualifying capital through initial small-scale production; no change to THMG share capital is contemplated by the Agreement.

---

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operator control retained by THMG: Planning and execution remain with the Company as Operator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Parallel value creation: The framework allows THMG to focus on exploration and potential resource expansion while small-scale production may generate non-dilutive cash flow.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• No impact on full-scale project economics: The revenue waterfall applies only to small-scale production and does not alter the economics of the existing Option Agreement or any future full-scale development.

**Principal Terms - Small-Scale Production Right**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operator: Thunder Mountain Gold (THMG).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Funding: MFD funds 100% of qualifying capital to achieve small-scale production.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Term/Cap: Right ends at the earlier of 10 years or 1.5 million tonnes of cumulative economic ore.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue Allocation: 80% MFD / 20% THMG until 1.5× MFD payback on qualifying capital; 50/50 thereafter until the Term/Cap is achieved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Scope: Applies only to small-scale production revenues; no change to Option Agreement economics.

**Option Agreement - Unchanged, with Date Extension**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Earn-in: MFD may earn 10% equity in South Mountain Mines, Inc. (SMMI) by investing US$1,000,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Schedule: Earn-in deadline extended to October 31, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Credit of Project Expenditures: Mutually approved Expenditures under the Agreement will be credited toward the US$1,000,000 threshold.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• All other Option Agreement provisions remain in full force and effect.

**Disclosure Logistics and Future Clarifications**

THMG's NI 43-101 requirements and MFD's non-issuer disclosures are expected to be addressed with the definitive final JV agreement. Items such as precise small-scale production area limits, definitions of "material" budget changes, and governance structures (e.g., a technical committee) may likewise be finalized at that time. The Agreement is intentionally streamlined at this stage.

**The South Mountain Project**

The South Mountain Mine is a polymetallic development project containing high-grade zinc, silver, gold, and copper, and is located on private land approximately 70 miles southwest of Boise, Idaho (See Figure 1 above). The Project is on private land, permitting has been, and should remain straightforward. The Project was intermittently mined from the late from 1940s to the late 1960s, most notably by Anaconda Copper, with over 4,000 feet of underground developmental workings that that have been rehabilitated, re-engineered, and are MSHA compliant. Thunder Mountain Gold Inc. purchased and advanced the project from 2007 through Present, with expenditures into the project of approximately US$25 million. Historic test mining and processing at the Project has mostly come from high-grade Carbonate Replacement Deposits (CRD) and skarn zones that remain open at depth and along strike. According to historical smelter records, approximately 53,642 tons of mineralized material have been mined and direct shipped to the smelter, with average grades; **14.5% Zn, 10.6 o.p.t. Ag (363.42 g/t Ag), 0.058 o.p.t. Au** (**1.98 g/t Au), 1.4% Cu, and 2.4% Pb** were realized (See SK-1300 Technical Resource Statement, and NI 43-101 Technical Report: Updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the South Mountain Project, dated December 31, 2023, and December 15, 2023, respectively. More details are available on the Thunder Mountain Gold Inc. website and at <u>www.SEC.gov</u>, and <u>www.sedar.com</u>).
