Gordon Creek Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GDN) (formerly Thunderbird Energy Corp.
TSX-V: TBD) (the "Company") today announced that effective October 24 2013, the
Company's name has been changed to Gordon Creek Energy Inc. and the common
shares of the Company commenced trading on a consolidated basis on the TSX
Venture Exchange under the symbol "GDN". The Company's series of natural gas
linked debentures will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the

The Company is in the advanced stages of negotiating proposed amendments of the
terms of its outstanding debentures, which amended terms will include an
extension of the term of the debentures beyond the October 31, 2013 due date.
The Company will be making the regular quarterly dividend payment in the normal
course following the October 31, 2013 quarter end. These discussions are being
held in conjunction with discussions with Sandstorm Metals & Energy Ltd (TSX-V:
SND) with respect to the modification of the terms of the Company's current
natural gas streaming agreement with Sandstorm. The objective of the amendments
will be to strengthen the Company's balance sheet and facilitate raising
additional third party capital to advance the development of the Gordon Creek
natural gas project. The Company anticipates being in a position to provide a
further update at the end of October.
