Thor today announces preliminary results from test work at its Alford East In situ Recovery (ISR) copper project in South Australia (Thor earning an 80% direct interest). This essential work has been funded by a South Australian Government Accelerated Discovery Grant of A$0.3m and is another example of how Thor makes its money work hard for shareholders.

Thor has begun its 3,000m RC drilling program at Ragged Range in the Pilbara in Western Australia. The program has been designed to determine the source of the obvious gold in soils and in streams found during geological mapping and sampling close to the thrusted contact of the Dalton Suite ultramafic rocks and the Euro Basalt. The 10-12 drilling lines at the Sterling Central and Sterling South prospects have been designed to cover the anomalies found with drill holes angled -60 degrees toward
Thor has today provided the results of soil sampling results from its Ragged Range project in the Pilbara Western Australia. Gold in soil anomalies (some quite high at up to 348ppb gold and many in excess of background 5ppb) have defined 8 drill targets. Visible gold has even been panned from soils.

Thor today announces a further round of drilling at its Kaunda project (operated by EnviroCopper in which Thor has a 30% stake). The drilling is being undertaken by MinEx CRC using an innovative Coiled Tube drilling program.

Coiled Tube drilling is a rapid, safe, energy and water-efficient drilling method at a fraction of
Thor today announces it has completed its drilling campaign at its Alford East copper-gold ISR project in South Australia (Thor earning 80%). Historic drilling has allowed a large resource of 126Mt grading 0.14% copper to be outlined with recent drilling to checking this resource and drill in open zones to extend mineralisation and to test the areas of structure thought to control mineralisation. Drill results and assay results have been impressive and in our opinion could lead to an upgrade in
Early indications from drilling support Thor's ideas on the extent of mineralisation and location of the top of the weathered zone at Alford East. We expect the current in-house XRF copper analyses to be confirmed from laboratory assays (there are delays in labs in Australia due to the increased extent of mineral exploration activities) and that Thor will be able to identify extensions of the mineralisation – potentially to increase the scale of the resource. Thor has interests in several area
Thor today provides an update on its exploration in Ragged Range in WA: • Gold in soils anomalies (peak at 114ppb gold) tie in closely with the stream sediment gold anomalies which defines trends associated with a structural contact between two rock units – drilling will begin at the ‘Sterling' prospect shortly, after Thor was awarded A$160k as part of the Western Australian Government Co-funded grants program. • Further sampling along the identified trend will determine additional prospects
Thor Mining today announces that it is beginning its drilling at Alford East (Thor earning an 80% interest). The 2,000m diamond drill program will focus on the northern portion of the Alford East copper gold deposit around the Netherleigh Park and AE5 mineralised domains. These will test the depth extent (previous drilling often stopped in mineralisation) and any strike extension of the known resource. Thor will also take time to understand the ground water characteristics (pH and chemistry)
Thor announced yesterday that it had received a grant from the South Australian Government for A$300k for further investigation into Proof-of-Concept work for In Situ Recovery (ISR), including resource drilling, hydrometallurgical and environmental studies at Alford East project (Thor earning an 80% interest) in South Australia as part of the Accelerated Discovery Initiative programme.

Phoenix copper today provides an update on its ground geophysical survey over the Red Star prospect near its Empire copper project in Idaho. The Red Star skarn mineralisation (lead and silver ± copper, zinc) is associated with magnetite; the survey just undertaken was to better understand the distribution and orientation of magnetite to find potential mineralisation and to inform the location and direction of a further drilling programme.
