Thunderbird Energy Corp.: Gordon Creek Land Acquisition and Completion Program Update

Thunderbird Energy Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TBD)(OTCBB:TBDYF) (the "Company") today
announced that further to the Company's news release dated October 9, 2012, the
build-out of the Gordon Creek infrastructure is now substantially complete, the
well sites are prepared and equipped, and the Company has begun the process of
bringing the wells online through our upgraded compression facility. The Company
anticipates providing a further update in early December once all of the wells
are online and initial production rates have begun to stabilize. Although issues
with certain suppliers have caused minor delays in recent weeks, the Company
continues to be encouraged by the progress of the operations.


Thunderbird is also pleased to announce the acquisition of approximately four
sections (2,479 acres) of new mineral leases in the Gordon Creek area. These
lands were acquired at a BLM mineral rights auction held in Salt Lake City on
November 13, 2012 and represent an approximate 20% increase in Thunderbird's
Gordon Creek land position. This new acreage adds up to 18 new locations and
brings our undrilled location inventory- based on a four well per section
density - to approximately 85. Of those locations, 47 are surveyed and in the
advanced stages of surface acquisition, permitting and licensing.


Thunderbird Energy is a Canadian-based oil and gas exploration and production
Company with interests in the US Rockies and mid-continent regions.
