NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
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-QSB. 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 Companys management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2006.
For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Net Loss Per Share
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share, requires dual presentation of basic earnings per share (EPS) and diluted EPS on the face of all income statements issued after December 15, 1997, for all entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities. For the periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the effect of the Companys outstanding options and common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, only basic EPS is presented. At March 31, 2006, the Company had 225,000 stock options outstanding, that if exercised would be dilutive in a future period if the Company reports net income.

Description of Business
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, Valley County, Idaho. Thunder Mountain Gold, Inc., takes its name from the Thunder Mountain Mining District in Valley County, Idaho, where its principal lode mining claims were located. In recent years the Companys activities have been restricted to maintaining its property position and exploration activities. During 2005, the Company sold its holdings in Idaho, and continued its exploration activities.
3.
Adoption of New Accounting Principle
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123(R)) which requires the measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award. SFAS 123(R) supersedes previous accounting guidance under the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25).
The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006. There was no impact on the financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2006, as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R).

Mining Claims
Substantially all of the Companys patented and unpatented claims in the Thunder Mountain Mining district were sold to the Trust For Public Land on September 1, 2005, for $5,500,000, netting the Company a gain on the sale of $2,576,112. The Company had entered into an agreement concerning the claims sold with Dewey Mining Company (Dewey) and certain other private parties that controlled Dewey and that were also major shareholders of Thunder Mountain. This agreement resulted in the payment of approximately $3,300,000 to the parties, $2,923,888 of which was for Deweys interest in the property sold and $376,705 was for the purchase of 1,883,525 shares of the Companys common stock.

Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: The above discussion may contain forward looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. In addition to the factors discussed above, among other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are 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 March 31, 2006. The following statements may be forward looking in nature and actual results may differ materially.
Plan of Operation:
Due to the favorable financial condition of the Company at the end of 2005, and the favorable commodity market, the Board made a decision to expand the membership and expertise of the board, and to become more aggressive in their natural resource exploration efforts. As of April 1, 2006, Pete Parsley was placed on full time as Vice President, Director and Exploration Manager. Exploration efforts will focus on the Great Basin area of Nevada, as well as favorable areas in other western states. Evaluations of geologically attractive prospects in politically stable areas of the Americas and Asia will also be considered. There is a high likelihood that the Company will form joint ventures with other exploration and mining interests. The Company has no agreements with any companies as of March 31, 2006. The Company had not acquired any properties as of March 31, 2006.
Financial Condition and Liquidity:
As of the end of the first quarter of 2006, the Company had a positive cash-position of aproximately $1,243,000 and maintained its liquid assets in a Merrill Lynch cash management fund. The Companys cash and liquid assets are considered adequate to meet its current and near-term corporate obligations. The Company does not foresee any necessity to raise additional funds during the next twelve-month period. Management believes that its funds are sufficient to meet corporate expenses incurred during the next 12 months. At the end of the quarter, the Company had no outstanding liabilities other than $10,818 for auditing, legal review and filing of the 2005 10KSB.
Capital Resources:
The Company did not purchase any equipment during the quarters ended March 31, 2006 or March 31, 2005.
Results of Operations:
The Company had no production from operations or any revenue derived from operations during the first quarter of 2006. There was no production from operations or any revenue during the comparable of 2005.

Item 3.
Controls and Procedures
(a)
Disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the Companys most recently completed fiscal quarter (the registrants fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms.
(b)
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting. There have been no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Companys last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
(c)
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls. Management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
