Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 9, 2021) - Thor Explorations Ltd. (TSXV: THX) (AIM: THX) ("Thor"
or the "Company") is pleased to announce further drilling results from the southern Makosa Tail and Makosa Bridge
prospects at its Douta Project, Senegal. Wide-spaced exploratory drill sections were completed over a 1,600m previously
untested gap between Makosa to the north and Makosa Tail to the south. This zone is referred to as Makosa Bridge.
Results received to date indicate that gold mineralisation is developed within sheared sedimentary and gabbroic host
rocks over the strike length of Makosa Bridge thus connecting Makosa Tail and Makosa.
Highlights include:

Segun Lawson, President & CEO, stated
"The initial drilling results from the newly discovered Makosa Bridge prospect are very encouraging. Importantly, the
results have established that continuous gold mineralisation is developed over a strike length of nearly 7.5km
extending from Makosa Tail in the south to Makosa North. From these reconnaissance drill results it appears that the
Makosa system is developing in scale and Makosa North is not yet closed off to the north. We are looking forward to
receiving the last set of results aimed at extending Makosa North, after which we will be working towards a maiden
resource at Makosa."
Introduction
The Douta Gold Project is a gold exploration permit that covers an area of 58 km^2 and is located within the Kéniéba
inlier, eastern Senegal. The northeast trending permit (Figure 1) has an area of 58 km^2. Thor, through its wholly
owned subsidiary African Star Resources Incorporated ("African Star"), has an economic interest in 70% in partnership
with the permit holder, International Mining Company SARL ("IMC"). IMC has a 30% free carried interest in its
development until the announcement by Thor of a Probable Reserve.
The Douta licence is strategically positioned 4km east of the deposits Massawa North and Massawa Central deposits which
form part of the world class Sabadola-Massawa Project that is owned by Teranga Gold Corporation (Figure 1).
Makosa Tail was discovered in late 2020 in an initial 21 hole Reverse Circulation ("RC") drilling program that targeted
the interpreted southern extensions of the Makosa mineralised system. The gap between the two established prospects
comprised 1,500m strike length of un-tested sheared sedimentary and gabbroic intrusive rocks that to the north are
associated with the Makosa mineralisation. This gap, known as Makosa Bridge, was targeted with an initial seven
200m-spaced exploratory drill cross-sections.

Drilling Results
Drill testing of the Makosa Bridge was accomplished on seven drill sections which were spaced 200m apart. This wide
spacing was considered to be appropriate for the first phase of drill testing. Based on the positive results received,
additional, closer-spaced (infill) drilling will be undertaken.
At the Makosa Tail prospect several infill holes were completed to further test the continuity of mineralisation. These
holes also returned positive results including 11m grading 2.26g/tAu in drillhole DTRC210. Drillhole DTRC223 returned
3m grading 7.47g/tAu suggesting the existence of a higher grade component to the mineralisation. Further drilling is
planned to better understand the controls and geometry of the higher grade structures.
The results are from the exploratory RC drilling program at Makosa Bridge together with infill drillholes at Makosa
Tail are shown in Table 1 and Figures 2 and 3. The full table of results is attached in Appendix 1.

Drill samples were analysed by ALS laboratories in Mali using
the AA26 fire assay method (50g charge).
The results indicate multiple parallel, steep north-westerly
dipping, mineralised horizons that are developed within a
shale/greywacke sequence. Most significantly, is the discovery of
several higher grade zones towards the southern end of the drilled
area where the drill coverage is wide-spaced.
Systematic infill and step-out drilling is planned to fully
assess the potential scale of the project.
