ITEM 7:  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operation.

     (a)  Full fiscal year.

          (1)  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.

     Expenses for the ensuing year will be incurred for continued search and 
exploration for additional properties, and for management fees and 
administrative costs.  The Company's required assessment work for 1997 to 
keep its unpatented claims valid will be performed by the Company.  Directors 
and management fees are $40,000.00 annually.  Please refer to the financial 
statements for additional costs and expenditures and other financial 
information.

          (2)  Capital Resources

     The Company presently does not intend to make any capital expenditures 
from its funds.  The Company also does not presently have any plans to raise 
capital through debt or equity financing.

     

(3)       Results of Operations

     The Company had no production from operations for 1997.  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 1997 the gross revenues were $62,500 compared to $100,000 for 1996 
and $75,000 for 1995 and 1994.

an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing

obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free

reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the financial position of Thunder Mountain Gold, Inc.

                          Notes To Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Thunder Mountain Gold, Inc. ( Thunder Mountain Gold  and the  Company ) takes 
its name from the Thunder Mountain Mining District in Valley County, Idaho, 
where its principal lode mining claims are located.  Since 1978, the efforts 
of the Company have been to develop its property into a producing gold mine.  
Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation started initial production of gold on the 
Thunder Mountain Gold property in July, 1986.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Marketable securities are stated at their fair market value.  The market 
value is based on quoted market prices or other fair value estimates provided 
by third party portfolio managers.  Current marketable securities had an 
aggregate cost of $318,939 at December 31, 1997.  A valuation allowance in 
the amount of has been recorded to the carrying amount of the portfolio to 
market value.

Exploration costs are charged to operations when incurred.

Property and equipment are carried at cost.  Depreciation is computed using 
accelerated depreciation methods with useful lives of three to seven years.  
Major additions and betterment's are capitalized.  Costs of maintenance and 
repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the associated assets are 
expensed currently.  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.  Depletion is computed using 
the unit of production method.

Net income/(loss) per common share amounts are computed by using the weighted 
average number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares 
outstanding each period.  The weighted average number of shares for computing 
losses per common share do not reflect the shares issuable upon the exercise 
of stock options if they would have an antidilutive effect.

Accounting Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity 
with generally accepted accounting principles 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.

NOTE 3 - MINING CLAIMS AND OPERATING AGREEMENT

Substantially all of the Company's patented and unpatented claims in the 
Thunder Mountain Mining district were obtained from major stockholders for 
cash or newly issued stock.

On April 15, 1982, the Company entered into a mining lease with Phillips 
Petroleum Company ( Phillips ).  The lease permitted Phillips to explore, 
develop, and mine the Thunder Mountain claims, in exchange for which the 
Company was to receive, as a royalty, a percentage of the defined net 
production proceeds.  Until the beginning of production, Thunder Mountain 
Gold received advance minimum royalties of $125,000 per year, increased by 
the percentage of increase in the average price of gold over $400 per ounce 
during the preceding year.

                         Notes To Financial Statements

NOTE 3 - MINING CLAIMS AND OPERATING AGREEMENT (continued)

After the beginning of production, which commenced in July, 1986, the 
Company was to receive annually the greater of 10% of the defined net 
proceeds from production or the minimum royalty as defined above.  When 
Phillips has recovered all of its pre-production costs as defined in the 
contract, including the advance and minimum royalties, out of defined net 
production proceeds, the Company was to receive annually the greater of 30% 
of the defined net production proceeds or the minimum royalty.

The term of the lease was initially for ten years and thereafter for as 
long as continuous mining or development is conducted.  The lessee however, 
could cancel the lease at any time subject to 30 days notice.

On April 8, 1983, the Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation acquired a 60% 
interest in the Phillips mining lease with Thunder Mountain Gold.  Phillips 
retained a 10% interest and a two year option to repurchase its interest up 
to an equal share with Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation.  The transaction was 
between Phillips and Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation, and did not change the 
Company's 30% interest in defined profits nor any other terms of the lease 
between Phillips and the Company.

In March, 1986, Coeur d'Alene Mines increased its ownership in Thunder 
Mountain by paying Phillips Petroleum $1 million for Philip's ten (10) 
percent interest.

On September 1, 1987, the Company issued 10,000 shares of its restricted 
common stock for purchase of the  Althouse Placer  mining claims which cover 
an area of approximately 380 acres in Valley County, Idaho.  The transaction 
was valued at the market price of the stock on the date of issuance.

During 1988, the Company acquired an area of approximately 7,300 acres in 
Elko, Eureka and Lander Counties, Nevada, pursuant to an agreement entered into 
with the Company's consulting geologist, a stockholder of the Company.  Under 
this agreement, the Company has issued 100,000 shares of its restricted 
common stock for legal title to approximately 400 mining claims.

In April, 1990, the Company entered into a mining lease agreement with the 
Vancouver, BC, Canada, based Equinox Resources, Ltd.  Equinox, in turn, 
assigned the lease to Amax Gold Exploration, Inc. of Reno, Nevada.  Amax 
performed exploration work in excess of $100,000 that consisted primarily of 
drilling of approximately 4,000 feet of holes.

On the basis of negative drilling results, Amax has elected to terminate 
its interest in the Agreement with Equinox.  In turn, Equinox decided to also 
terminate its lease with the Company, effective February 21, 1991.

NOTE 3 - MINING CLAIMS AND OPERATING AGREEMENT (continued)

In February, 1989, the Company entered into a mineral lease agreement with 
Freeport-McMoRan Gold Company, pertaining to the Blue Bluff property in 
Valley County, Idaho.  The principal target of exploration is gold and 
silver.  The agreement calls for production royalties and advance annual 
royalty payments.  Freeport (now Independence Mining Co.) sold its interest 
to NERCO Exploration Co. of Vancouver, Washington.  Pursuant to this 
transaction, NERCO continues to explore the property.

On December 2, 1990, Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation notified the Company of 
its intention to terminate its lease effective December 31, 1990.  
Accordingly, and due to the lack of production during 1990, only the minimum 
royalty receivable of $125,000 for 1990 was accrued by the Company.

NOTE 4 - MINING PROPERTY LEASES

In August, 1981, the Company entered into a two year option with two groups 
of its major stockholders regarding various patented and unpatented claims 
known as the  Bull  and  L  groups of claims.  Under the option, the Company 
had the right, for a two year period, to enter into a lease with those 
individuals to do exploration and development work on the properties.  The 
options were exercised, and two identical leases were executed on February 2, 
1982.  The lease terms provide that the Company will do all assessment work, 
pay all taxes, and pay to the lessors, 3% of defined net smelter returns with 
a minimum annual advance royalty of $15,000 on each lease.  During 1987, the 
existing leases were modified to reduce the minimum annual advance royalties 
to $7,500 on each lease, beginning in 1988.  During 1990, the existing leases 
were further modified to reduce the minimum annual advance royalties to $1.00 
per contract beginning with 1990.

On August 28, 1992 one million shares of Thunder Mountain Gold, Inc. 
restricted stock was issued to Dewey Mining Co. and Sunnyside Consolidated 
Mining Co., as tenants in common, in exchange for a mining contract on the 
DEWEY & THUNDER MOUNTAIN GOLD properties, situated in Valley County, Idaho.  
The shares were issued at par value of $.05 per share.

An option to purchase one million shares of restricted treasury stock was 
issued to Dewey Mining Company (a.k.a. Jim Nelson and Ron Yanke) August 3, 
1992.  The price per share payable to Thunder Mountain Gold shall be six 
cents per share.  The term of this option will be for a period of two years 
from the date of agreement with a third party company to explore and develop 
Thunder Mountain and Dewey's joint property holdings in the Thunder Mountain 
District located in Valley County Idaho.  It is understood that the issuance 
of this option is contingent upon the receipt of a purchase option to Thunder 
Mountain issued by Dewey Mining for the acquisition of Dewey Mining's real 
and mineral properties located in the district.  The option was exercised and 
the company received $60,000 for the sale of 1,000,000 shares at six cents 
per share on November 24, 1993.
