About Thor Energy Plc
The Company is focused on uranium
and energy metals that are crucial in the shift to a 'green' energy
economy. Thor has a number of highly prospective projects that give
shareholders exposure to uranium, nickel, copper, lithium and gold.
Our projects are located in Australia and the USA.
Thor holds 100% interest in three
uranium and vanadium projects (Wedding Bell, Radium Mountain and
Vanadium King) in the Uravan Belt Colorado and Utah, USA with
historical high-grade uranium and vanadium drilling and production
results.
At Alford East in South Australia,
Thor has earnt an 80% interest in oxide copper deposits considered
amenable to extraction via In-Situ Recovery techniques (ISR). In
January 2021, Thor announced an Inferred Mineral Resource
Estimate¹. Thor also holds a 26.3% interest in Australian copper
development company EnviroCopper Limited, which in turn holds
rights to earn up to a 75% interest in the mineral rights and
claims over the resource on the portion of the historic Kapunda
copper mine and the Alford West copper project, both situated in
South Australia, and both considered amenable to recovery by way of
ISR.²³
Thor holds 100% of the advanced
Molyhil tungsten project, including measured, indicated and
inferred resources⁴, in the Northern Territory of Australia, which
was awarded Major Project Status by the Northern Territory
government in July 2020. Thor executed a $A8m Farm-in and Funding
Agreement with Investigator Resources Limited (ASX: IVR) to
accelerate exploration at the Molyhil Project on 24 November
2022.6
Adjacent to Molyhil, at Bonya, Thor
holds a 40% interest in deposits of tungsten, copper, and vanadium,
including Inferred resource estimates for the Bonya copper deposit,
and the White Violet and Samarkand tungsten deposits.⁵ Thor's
interest in the Bonya tenement EL29701 is planned to be divested as
part of the Farm-in and Funding agreement with Investigator
Resources Limited.6
Thor owns 100% of the Ragged Range
Project, comprising 92 km2 of exploration licences
with highly encouraging early-stage gold, copper, lithium and
nickel results in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Thor is
now looking for a JV partner or divestment of these group of
tenements.
