PART 1
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
(A) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
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 explore and develop their holdings in the Thunder Mountain Mining District, Valley County, Idaho. In August 1985, the Company's shareholders approved an increase in the authorized common stock, $0.05 par value, from 7,500,000 shares to 12,000,000 shares. Quotations of the bid and ask prices for the stock are published by the Spokane Quotations Service of Spokane, Washington.
The Company primary property at Thunder Mountain was placed into operation in the mid-1980s by Coeur 'd Alene Mines under a net profits arrangement. Substantial gold and silver production was done by Coeur ‘d Alene from the Sunnyside Deposit by open pit mining and heap leaching. Coeur 'd Alene ceased production in the early 1990s and relinquished the claims back to the Company. Subsequently the property leased to and explored by several other exploration/mining companies, including Kennecott and USMX/Dakota Mining. A joint venture between the Company and Dewey Mining unified the mining district during this period, and USMX/Dakota Mining expended approximately $5 million to explore the district and define a significant measured mineral resource on the Dewey property. Bankruptcy by Dakota Mines provided an opportunity for the Company and Dewey Mining to acquire the consolidated district for future development. USMX/Dakota Mining had initiated an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), additional baseline studies and other permitting requirements to place the Dewey deposit into production. The Company continued these activities to a limited extent.
During 2000, the Company and their joint venture partner, Dewey Mining Company, entered into an Option Agreement with Trust for Public Lands to purchase the consolidated mining district. The Trust for Public Lands is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of nature for human enjoyment and well- being. The Thunder Mountain Mining District is located on a “cherry-stem” within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness that was specifically outlined to allow continued development of the historic mining area. Due to its location, the Company’s land position is a candidate for purchase by the United States Forest Service through the Land and Water Conservation Funds and other appropriations. The Option recognizes a minimum acceptable value for the measured mineral resource and real property, and if this is not met, the Company maintains the ability to continue development of the property. All permitting efforts have been placed on hold pending the completion of the initial appraisal, which is expected by mid-2003. The Option Agreement has been extended beyond the original specified timeframe due to delays in securing an appraiser. Due to delays in the initiation of the appraisal process, including negotiations with the U.S. Forest Service, the original timeframe of the base agreement were not met. The agreement was extended and continued in full force by mutual written agreement between The Trust for Public Land and both the Company and Dewey Mining Company.
The Company reduced its land package and associated lease payments required to maintain it’s interest in a platinum group metals property in Nevada. The Company continued to evaluate natural resource
to enhance Stockholder equity.
The Company is an exploration stage company and there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of its properties. Further exploration efforts will likely be required by the Company or lessor before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of conducting further operations is determined.
In addition to the patented claims, the Company also owns unpatented mining claims. The validity of unpatented mining claims is dependent upon inherent uncertainties and conditions. These uncertainties related to such non-record facts as the sufficiency of the discovery of minerals, proper posting and marking of boundaries, whether the minerals discovered were properly locatable as a lode claims or a placer claim as appropriate, the payment of annual claim holding fees of $100.00 per claim as required by law, and possible conflicts with other claims not determinable from descriptions of record. In the absence of a discovery of valuable minerals, a mining claim may be open to location by others unless the owner is in actual possession of the claim and making the required annual payments. No assurance can be given with respect to unpatented mining claims in the exploratory stage that the requisite discovery of a valuable mineral deposit can be made thereon.
PRECIOUS AND OTHER MINERAL PROPERTIES
1. THUNDER MOUNTAIN MINING DISTRICT, VALLEY COUNTY, IDAHO
The Company and their joint venture partner, Dewey Mining Company, holds 272 unpatented and 50 patented lode claims and fractional claims in the historic Thunder Mountain District of Valley County, Idaho. Company Exploration efforts are targeted at gold and silver, with further definition of the mineralized resource.
The Company’s claims are located in the Thunder Mountain Mining District, approximately 55 miles east of McCall, Idaho. The approximate location of the property is illustrated by the following map.
The Registrant and Dewey Mining Company,an Idaho Corporation, entered into a joint venture agreement in February 1992 . The joint venture owns outright a total of 50-patented lode-mining claims (735.5 acres total) and 272 unpatented lode claims (5,245 acres total). With the exception of one small claim block within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness (their location pre-dated the wilderness designation), all of the claims are within the “cherry-stem” that forms a corridor into the wilderness. Mineral development within this cherry-stem is subject to the same regulatory stipulations as the United States Forest Service managed land surrounding the wilderness. Some of the Company’s claims within the cherry stem are partially within the wilderness area, but these were, for the most part, located as protection of the land position more central to the cherry-stem that either has mineral resources or exploration potential.
Under the terms of the Joint Venture, both Dewey Mining Company and Thunder Mountain Gold joined all resources including patented and unpatented mining claims, mineralized material, water rights and any other right, title and interest on the properties. All costs connected with the effort of marketing the joint properties to environmental interests, mining companies, or other interested parties are shared on a 50-50 basis. All properties and expenditures as of the date of the joint venture agreement are considered equal. All net proceeds generated by, or from the joint properties will be shared on a 50-50 basis. The joint venture agreement does not create a partnership, and each Party will hold the other harmless from any pre-existing obligation and liabilities. Dewey Mining Company retained ownership of the existing 500 ton-per-day gravity gold processing mill, although this facility could be utilized for processing gold-silver mineralization mined from any deposit defined on the joint property.
Mineralization and Current Activity
Mineralization within the Thunder Mountain District is hosted in the volcanic rock sequence of the Thunder Mountain Caldera and lies within the northeast-trending Trans-Challis Mineral Belt of central Idaho. The Dewey Deposit is hosted in rhyolitic ash fall tuffs and tuffaceous sediment of the Dewey Sequence, part of the extensive Eocene Challis Volcanic Group. Three gold-silver mineralized zones are defined within the Dewey Deposit: 1) an upper tuffaceous sediment unit; 2) a middle ash fall tuff unit, and; 3) a lower mudflow agglomerate unit. Gold and silver mineralization is both structurally and stratiform controlled, with the better grades occurring along structural zones where hydrothermal fluids concentrated mineralization. Other areas of past production and future potential mineralization within the district are within similar geologic and host rock settings.
Exploration of the Dewey Deposit has been extensive, with work completed by several exploration and mining companies since the 1970s. A mineralized resource has been defined using after the completion of 256 drill holes on 100-foot centers with some areas of 50-foot fill in drilling that resulted in 12,275 assay intervals. Extensive geologic mapping and sampling, with some exploratory drilling, has been done on several other geologic targets within the district. The current mineralized resource defined at the Dewey Deposit is the result of approximately five million dollars of expenditures by USMX and Dakota Mining, this not counting previous exploration drill data compiled by Placer Amex, Copper Lakes and other companies. As a result of this work, a mineralized material of 5,390,000 tons averaging 0.047 ounces per ton gold (using a gold price of $400 per ounce) is estimated to be present at the Dewey Deposit.
A mineralized material is generally defined as a mineralized body, which has been delineated by appropriately spaced drilling and/or underground sampling to support a sufficient tonnage and average grade of metals.
Current infrastructure that supports exploration activities and potential future development of the Thunder Mountain Property consists of improvements associated with past mining operations. This includes access road improvements, a potential tailings disposal area, and a Dewey Mining Company-owned small (approximate 500 ton-per-day) gravity milling facility that was operational in the late 1970s and early 1980s, along with support facilities including fuel storage tanks, shop, assay laboratory, electrical equipment, base camp housing, etc.
Costs incurred by the Company include property maintenance activities (claim fees, taxes, etc.), appraisal and other costs associated with the potential sale, site security, monitoring and maintenance of reclamation and sediment control features. All exploration, development and mining activities in the past have been borne by previous operators that had the Thunder Mountain Property under lease arrangement.
All past and future operations would require generation of power on site by the use of diesel-powered generators.
The Thunder Mountain Property is without known and defined reserves pursuant to SEC Industry Guide 7. Significant mineralized material has been “drill defined” as discussed above. The Property is still in an exploration stage, although sufficient information has been developed to potentially initiate further development activities.
Maintenance of the mining claims consists of payment of the annual claim maintenance fees on unpatented mining claims. Property taxes are paid on all patented and unpatented mining claims.
2. IRONSIDE PLATINUM GROUP METALS (PGM) PROSPECT, GOODSPRINGS MINING DISTRICT, CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA
The Company has an 50% interest in the 40 BOA unpatented lode claim group in the Goodsprings Mining District in Clark County, Nevada. The claims are located approximately 25 miles southwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. Platinum, palladium, silver and gold were produced in this area of the Goodsprings District during the period 1914–1920. Reported production was approximately 400 ounces of platinum, 900 ounces of palladium, 1,800 ounces of gold, 7,000 ounces of silver and 570,000 pounds of copper. The land position was secured because of its exploration potential. The Ironside PGM Prospect claims cover a northeast-bearing trend of PGM ,precious and base metal occurrences that extends for about three miles along a structural trend. During the war effort, minor production of platinum group metals and gold was done in the immediate area of the Registrant's claims. Geologicmapping and sampling of the property was completed during 2000, and potential exploration targets have been defined. Several companies that produce platinum group metals have expressed an interest in the claims in the past when the commodity prices were higher. The unpatented lode BOA claims were held and the Company continued the effort to interest a larger platinum group metals exploration company in the target potential of the holdings.
Mineralization and Current Activity
Mineralization and anomalous geochemistry occurs along the high-angle Ironside Thrust Fault zone associated with the Ironside and nearby regional Keystone Thrusts. Moderately large intrusive bodies are located nearby. Mineralization is thought to be distal to the intrusive contact along the structural zones. The potential targets consist of defining additional sulfide replacements within the carbonates along the structural zones, particularly near the contact with the intrusives in the area. Additionally, the style of mineralization indicates that there may be a deep intrusive-hosted PGM target.
Mineralization occurs in secondary silica (jasperoid) associated with sulfide gossans in a carbonate sequence of Devonian and Lower Mississippian age. No significant work on the property was conducted during 2002. Other than access roads, there is no infrastructure on the holdings. Maintenance of the mining claims consists of payment of the annual claim maintenance fees on unpatented mining claims. Property taxes are paid on all patented mining claims.

ITEM 6: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.
(a) FULL FISCAL YEAR.
Liquidity: The Company has a positive cash position and has invested funds in a cash management mutual fund. The Company's cash and liquid assets are considered adequate to meet its current and foreseeable obligations. The market value of some of the stock mutual funds decreased substantially during 2002, as well as previous years. This decrease in value is due to the general decline in the main stock markets in which the Company’s mutual funds were invested. This decrease in value may, in part, be temporary as they will reflect the overall trend of the markets in which the funds are invested in. Operating costs, of course, will impact the net value of the liquid assets.
.<r>
The Company has a positive cash-position and maintained its liquid assets in a cash management mutual fund. The Company’s cash and liquid assets are considered adequate to meet its current and foreseeable corporate obligations. The Company does not foresee any necessity to raise additional funds during the next twelve month period, except for a loan advance pursuant to a verbal agreement with Dewey Mining to defray various appraisal and property maintenance costs on the joint venture properties. Management believes that its invested funds are sufficient to meet corporate expenses incurred during the next 12 months. The Company has made a financial arrangement with its Joint Venture Partner, Dewey Mining, to carry a majority of the expenses related to the appraisal and other costs associated with the potential sale of the Thunder Mountain property. These will be reimbursed out of the funds that may be received from the property in the future, or as otherwise arranged between the Company and Dewey Mining. During 2002, Dewey Mining had covered Company expenses of $55,972 related to property maintenance and appraisal costs. Through 2002, the arrangement between the Company and Dewey Mining was a verbal agreement, but will be subject to a written agreement by mid-2003. The terms of the written agreement will include an 8% interest accrual on monies advanced, with interest commencing the date of the agreement.
Expenses for the ensuing year will be incurred for continued maintenance and sales efforts of the Thunder Mountain property, including claim holding fees, site watchman, acquisition of third-party claims, appraisal costs, travel, consultants associated with appraisal efforts, joint water rights litigation, legal review of efforts of sale corporate management fees and administrative costs. It is anticipated that no Directors and discretionary managerial fees will not be paid during the upcoming year due to the low cash position of the Company. The geologic, professional and other technical expertise utilized in Company efforts are generally done by the Directors, who are adequately qualified. Several outside consultants are also utilized, including Dr. Wayne Kemp, PhD Geologist, Dr. Dave Wahl, PhD Geologists, Donald E. Howell, ARA, State Certified Appraiser – Utah and Idaho. Daily rates for the geologic consultants range from $300 per day to $600 per day, plus expenses. Donald Howell appraisal work is done on a contractual basis with TPL. Most of these costs are borne equally by the Company and Dewey Mining per the joint venture agreement. It is anticipated that the appraisal and sale efforts with TPL will advance significantly during 2003. Exploration efforts will be limited to the evaluation of opportunities that may be presented to the Company. The Company did not engage in any research and development activities during fiscal 2001.
There were no fees paid to any of the Directors during 2002. Please refer to the financial statements for additional costs and expenditures and other financial information.
Capital Resources: The Company presently did not acquire any equipment during 2001. The Company does not intend to make any capital expenditures from its funds for property or equipment during the next 12 months. The Company also does not presently have any plans to raise capital through debt or equity financing.
Results of Operations: The Company had no production from operations for 2002. Although additional production units are likely, it is impossible to predict with any certainty when and where the next production unit will be developed. For that reason, it is impossible to predict the future production units.
For 2002, gross revenues were $-0-.
The Company does not currently have any employees, and does not anticipate any for the upcoming calendar year(s). The Directors conduct most of the work related to corporate business on a non-paying basis at the current time. Occasionally, outside consultants are utilized per the above discussion.

ITEM 7: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL DATA
Revised financial statements will be filed via amendment.
ITEM 8: DISAGREEMENTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
During the year ended December 31, 2002 there were no disagreements between the Company and its independent certified public accountants concerning accounting and financial disclosure.
