1. 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, which continues today. | ||||||
Basis of Presentation and Going Concern | ||||||
The accompanying unaudited consolidated 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 the Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the financial statements 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 our 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 month period ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014. For further information refer to the financial statements and the footnotes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. | ||||||
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is an exploration stage company and has historically incurred losses and does not have sufficient cash at June 30, 2014 to fund normal operations for the next 12 months. The Company has no recurring source of revenue and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise capital to fund its future exploration and working capital requirements. The Company’s plans for the long-term return to and continuation as a going concern include financing the Company’s future operations through sales of its common stock and/or debt and the eventual profitable exploitation of its mining properties. Additionally, the current capital markets and general economic conditions in the United States are significant obstacles to raising the required funds. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently investigating a number of alternatives for raising additional capital with potential investors, lessees and Owyhee Gold Trust LLC partners. | ||||||
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the going concern basis was not appropriate for these financial statements, adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used. | ||||||
Exploration Stage Enterprise | ||||||
In June 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-10 (“the ASU”). This update changes the requirements for disclosures as it relates to exploration stage entities. The ASU specifies that the ‘inception–to-date’ information is no longer required to be presented in the financial statements of an exploration stage entity. The amendments in the ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods therein, with early application permitted for any financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company has elected to apply the amendments as of the three month period ended June 30, 2014. | ||||||
Reclassifications | ||||||
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior year’s data to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported operations, stockholders’ equity or cash flows. | ||||||
Principles of Consolidation | ||||||
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company; its wholly owned subsidiaries, Thunder Mountain Resources, Inc. and South Mountain Mines, Inc. after elimination of the intercompany accounts and transactions. | ||||||
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. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions include the carrying value of properties and mineral claims, environmental remediation liabilities, deferred tax assets, stock options granted and the fair value of financial and derivative instruments. Management’s estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | ||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | ||||||
For the purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be a cash equivalent. | ||||||
Fair Value Measures | ||||||
Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC820 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. ASC 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. | ||||||
Our financial instruments currently consist principally of cash. The table below sets forth our assets and liabilities measured at fair value whether recurring or non-recurring and basis and the fair value calculation input hierarchy level that we have determined applies to each asset and liability category. | ||||||
Balance | Balance | Input | ||||
30-Jun-14 | 31-Dec-13 | Hierarchy level | ||||
Recurring: | ||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ 25,189 | $ 35,882 | Level 1 | |||
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. | ||||||
Investments in Joint Ventures | ||||||
In determining the Company’s accounting policy in the disclosure of joint ventures, the Company decided as follows; | ||||||
1.) The Company will use the cost method when it does not have joint control or significant influence in a joint venture. Under the cost method, these investments are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. | ||||||
2.) If the Company enters into a joint venture, in which there is joint control between the parties, the equity method is utilized whereby the Company’s share of the ventures’ earnings and losses is included in the statement of operations as earnings in joint ventures and its investments therein are adjusted by a similar amount. | ||||||
3.) In a joint venture, where the Company holds more than 50% of the voting interest and has significant influence, the joint venture is consolidated with the presentation of non-controlling interest. In determining whether significant influences exist, the Company considers its participation in policy-making decisions and its representation on the venture’s management committee. If other than temporary impairment in value was determined, it would then be charged to current net income or loss. | ||||||
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 would record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which the Company incurred a legal obligation for the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. A corresponding asset would also be recorded and depreciated over the life of the asset. | ||||||
After the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the liability is 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 | ||||||
Share-based payments to employees and directors, including grants of employee stock options are measured at fair value and expensed in the statement of operations over the vesting period. | ||||||
Net Income (Loss) Per Share | ||||||
The Company is required to have dual presentation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. | ||||||
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the remaining potentially dilutive common stock equivalents not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive are: | ||||||

The Company’s common stock has a par value of $0.001 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. | ||||
On October 3, 2013, the Board of Directors approved a Private Placement financing of up to 5,000,000 units of the Company (“Unit”) at a price of $0.05 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $250,000. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.15 for a period of 18 months. | ||||
Pursuant to a Selling Agreement, the Selling Agent was entitled to compensation in the following form: (a) a cash commission equal to 10% of the price of the Units sold; (b) an additional cash commission of 10% of gross proceeds received from the exercise of Warrants issued as part of such Units or any other equity investment made by investors introduced by the Agent within a 24 month period following closing; and (c) non-transferable broker warrants to purchase a number of additional Units equal to 5% of Units sold by the Agent in the initial offering. The Agent Warrants will have the same exercise price and otherwise be on the same terms as the Warrants. Through June 30, 2014, 15,000 agent warrants have been issued, and $1,500 in commissions were paid based on the sale of 300,000 shares. | ||||
Through June 30, 2014, the Company received $202,000 in gross proceeds from the Private Placement, issuing a total 4,040,000 in shares of common stock and 2,020,000 share equivalent warrants. | ||||
For six months ended June 30, 2014, the company received $157,000 in gross proceeds, issued 3,140,000 in shares of common stock and 1,570,000 in share of equivalent warrants. | ||||

On March 21, 2011, the Company signed an exploration agreement with Newmont Mining Corporation on the Trout Creek Project that significantly expands the Trout Creek target area. Newmont’s private mineral package added to the Project surrounds the Company’s South Mountain claim group and consists of about 9,565 acres within a thirty-square mile Area of Influence defined in the agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is responsible for conducting the exploration program and is obligated to expend a minimum of $150,000 over the ensuing two years, with additional expenditures possible in future years. Newmont agreed to extend the date for completion of the work commitment to June 22, 2013. The Company met this requirement, and had total expenditures of $160,314 on this project through June 30, 2014. | |
The Company is required to spend $300,000, including $150,000 in drilling expenditures, on the project in the third year, or by March 22, 2014. This date has been extended to October 31, 2014 by Newmont. All subsequent dates for work commitments were extended to October 31 as well. | |

On November 8, 2012, the Company and Idaho State Gold Company, LLC (“ISGC”) formed the Owyhee Gold Trust, LLC, (“OGT”) a limited liability company. The Company’s contribution for its membership units was its South Mountain Mine property and related mining claims located in southwestern Idaho in Owyhee County which was valued at $479,477 at the date of contribution. As its initial contribution to OGT, ISGC will fund operations totaling $18 million; or $8 million if the Company exercises its option to participate pro-rata after ISGC expends $8 million. ISGC is also the manager of the joint venture. Upon payment of $1 million, and a work commitment of $2 million in pre-determined qualifying expenditures not later than December 31, 2014, ISGC will receive 2,000 units representing a vested 25% ownership. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has not issued any ownership units. The Company accounts for its investment in the OGT by the cost method. |

On June 6, 2013, the Company received funds of $20,000 from Jim Collord, a director. In accordance with the terms of the note, the Company pays Mr. Collord 1% per month for interest. See Note 7. | |
On July 31, 2013 the Company received $20,000 from Rolf Hess, a stockholder, under a convertible promissory note. Terms of the note called for interest at 1% per month, with the entire balance of principal and interest due in full on December 1, 2013. The convertible promissory note contained the option for the holder to convert any portion of the principal and interest into Company common stock at 75% of the average closing bid price of the stock for the twenty trading days ending the day prior to the conversion. At inception, management determined the conversion price would have been $0.054. On that date, the market price for the Company’s common stock exceeded the conversion price as calculated. | |
The convertible note contained a beneficial conversion feature of $9,425 which was recognized as a discount on the note on the date of issuance. The discount was amortized over the note term using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded $9,425 in interest expense related to the amortization of the discount. This note was converted to common stock and warrants in the private placement on December 1, 2013 (See Note 2). | |

The Company has established a Stock Option Incentive Plan to authorize the granting of stock options up to 10 percent of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock to employees, directors and consultants. Upon exercise of options, shares are issued from the available authorized shares of the Company. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. | |
During 2013, the Company granted 990,000 non-qualified stock options to certain officers, directors and outside consultants with an exercise price of $0.09. Shareholder approval for the award was granted on April 30, 2013. The options immediately vested. Management valued the options as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model resulting in $89,038 expense being recorded. The average remaining contractual term of the options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2014 was 2.50 years. There were no options vested or granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014. | |

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. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions include the carrying value of properties and mineral claims, environmental remediation liabilities, deferred tax assets, stock options granted and the fair value of financial and derivative instruments. Management’s estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

Fair Value Measures | ||||||
Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC820 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. ASC 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. | ||||||
Our financial instruments currently consist principally of cash. The table below sets forth our assets and liabilities measured at fair value whether recurring or non-recurring and basis and the fair value calculation input hierarchy level that we have determined applies to each asset and liability category. | ||||||

Capitalization of Internal Costs, Policy | ' |
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. |

Investments in Joint Ventures | |
In determining the Company’s accounting policy in the disclosure of joint ventures, the Company decided as follows; | |
1.) The Company will use the cost method when it does not have joint control or significant influence in a joint venture. Under the cost method, these investments are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. | |
2.) If the Company enters into a joint venture, in which there is joint control between the parties, the equity method is utilized whereby the Company’s share of the ventures’ earnings and losses is included in the statement of operations as earnings in joint ventures and its investments therein are adjusted by a similar amount. | |
3.) In a joint venture, where the Company holds more than 50% of the voting interest and has significant influence, the joint venture is consolidated with the presentation of non-controlling interest. In determining whether significant influences exist, the Company considers its participation in policy-making decisions and its representation on the venture’s management committee. If other than temporary impairment in value was determined, it would then be charged to current net income or loss. |

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 would record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which the Company incurred a legal obligation for the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. A corresponding asset would also be recorded and depreciated over the life of the asset. | |
After the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the liability is 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. |

Net Income (Loss) Per Share | |||
The Company is required to have dual presentation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. | |||
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the remaining potentially dilutive common stock equivalents not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive are: | |||

Nature of 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, which continues today. |

Basis of Accounting | 'The accompanying unaudited consolidated 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 the Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the financial statements 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 our 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 month period ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014. For further information refer to the financial statements and the footnotes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. |
Going Concern Note | 'The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is an exploration stage company and has historically incurred losses and does not have sufficient cash at June 30, 2014 to fund normal operations for the next 12 months. The Company has no recurring source of revenue and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise capital to fund its future exploration and working capital requirements. The Company’s plans for the long-term return to and continuation as a going concern include financing the Company’s future operations through sales of its common stock and/or debt and the eventual profitable exploitation of its mining properties. Additionally, the current capital markets and general economic conditions in the United States are significant obstacles to raising the required funds. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently investigating a number of alternatives for raising additional capital with potential investors, lessees and Owyhee Gold Trust LLC partners. |
