Thor Explor Share Chat (THX)

Theres actually minimal spread on HL today, 10k sell is 63.8p and 10k buy 64.35p, and all the trades at 64.35 are coming up as sells despite me getting that as buy quotes as the same time they are showing as sells

Thor trades on SETSqx on AIM - Altyngold is main market LSE. You can rest your case that you don't know what the difference is.

Actually altyngold was half the market cap of thor a few months ago and is now two thirds of the market cap of thor, 1rest my case again.

Altyngold has half the market cap of thor having considerably higher liquidity and very small spreads, i rest my case.

For Thor as with all shares, especially those thar are not too liquid, you can usually trade within the spread.

For selling and buying Thor the actual price you pay or receive is somewhere in the middle of the spread. When we place an order we are given the actual price being offered and in most cases this is not the spread price unless you are buying/selling 1 share or less than c.100!

Yes, almost certainly buys based on where Toronto opened and went, above the lse price at the time. There seems to be some talking Thor down at the moment. The company is in rude health. The company can do very little about the macro. The PoG reaction tells you all you need to know about where gold goes when the war ends... and it will end. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but... quite probably before Douta is operational and Thor is producing maybe 150koz/annum or so. News is coming on Marahui and elsewhere and if we get +500koz (or anywhere near), the company is in rude health for another decade or more, from today. For the first time I was actually disappointed it went up, yesterday... I didn't have a buy ready to go! I see this as a fantastic opportunity to accumulate. Others will see it different but I don't mind paying more today because it will be multiples in a couple of short years.

Hardly massive - in any case TSX is up 7% so should see us back in the 60s at least. If the deal holds back on track pre douta

Don't know if they are all sells, you could buy large amounts at 55.75 early afternoon.

Obfuscation is what MM,s do best.

140k, 50k, 50k, 140k, all just over 56p, all after 4pm.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Hehe were all friends here, hold for GOLD

Hey buddy! When you made that prediction, during a slide back in March, the market reversed, almost to the second, and went on a run! Lots on here predicted the "incoming", imminent reversal! And they all got paid a dividend in between, as well! Suspect some people hoovered shares at 66p, when the "incoming" 55p prediction was made, and sold out in the 80ps, where Thor went in the "incoming" days! Sorry, I meant coming days! "Incoming" is too broad a timescale, I now understand! What a fantastic, fast return! Wonderful! So much opportunity to be out higher than 66p, or indeed 55p, since then! Lobster, caviar and champagne on those March "incoming" price traders! Fingers crossed for the same this time! Will ice the Dom Perignon! But, hang on... you haven't been waiting all this time for that "incoming" prediction to be right, have you? That must have been eating you up inside! Sorry bud! Hopefully you have been trading it better since! 50+ trading days since, and the evolving macro, the outlook has changed, so you'll get one right! I believe in you! Thinking of you! Chin up, Bud! xx

55p ;)

Thing is, a bid pitched around 87-88p (50% premium) might look quite attractive in current market conditions.

The Segilola update really should be published this quarter. Only a few weeks left now.

I wonder if nervousness about triggering a bid, if the numbers are good, may be a factor?

If so, delay is a dangerous game.

Gold down another 2.5% today. Recovery coming but when?

Thor down another 4% today. Recovery coming but when?

Markets are forward looking. The past is of less interest.

For Thor there are 3 main issues: Segilola, Douta, Ivory Coast.

The last two are way off in terms of significant market moving news.

But Segilola not so. The market wants to know about mineable resource for next year (just 6 months away) and beyond and the plan to extract this resource. It will give credit to the sp here if there is good news on this front. In the meantime there is uncertainty which adds to the sp weakness due to the sell off in PM's and market fears of the AI supported peak being past and rates and economic outlook likely to cause some level of retreat. It's likely the market has now peaked and is in the early stages of losing steam which will cause weakness in the st across the board.

Sell gold/miners? Buy SpaceX? Not for me! $1.75 trillion valuation. Four times over subscribed. This one IPO shows what a valuation bubble exists in the US markets which is totally unsustainable.

GDXJ Junior Gold Miners ETF is -23% in 1 month, -12.5% last 5 days. GDX is down 20.5% in the last month. Barrick, arguably the king of gold miners with huge production is -17% the last month. And these aren't even 'open' for trading yet today, as PoG hits a quarterly low. Segilola production guidance is known for the year, and has been reiterated. We have had results for a quarter, this year, to confirm we're on target, with another quarter coming in approx. 1 month. This has to be a wind up now. Thor is dropping as gold is dropping and interest rates are expected to increase. Whilst Segilola Extension may give a small respite, it is not the reason we are dropping, have dropped or will drop. An end to the war, oil and gas getting back to a new normal, etc. will do more for Energy prices, IR expectations and PoG than any Segilola news. I am sure everyone is 'disappointed' with the market and their portfolio the last few weeks, but if you believe in the investment and holding an investment, these drops present a fantastic opportunity to accumulate IMHO. I don't care if we go to 1p this year if we're £5 in 2030. Opinions my differ but the 'facts' are out there.

Lucian, you’re being obtuse.

The drop is primarily because of gold, which is why other miners have also fallen back. Certainly that’s the belief of most us.

There is no imminent announcement coming for Segilola, he’s been clear about that. So if you think it’s going to drop much further whilst we await clarity, your decision should be straightforward on selling.

Btw this years figures on production are well known. 75k 85k oz, announced in January and restated last month. Given we also know the forecast AISC $1000-1200k, we can infer another year of serious cash build. That makes it easy for me to expect a very material price recovery.

We know what the production will be this year? we've had the guidance? and we know next year and the year after would be absolutely worst case scenario 30k for 2 years with a 500 asic if they just use stockpile? then doutas up

In case you haven't noticed, we are now back in the 5's.

I repeat: we need firm information about anticipated production this year and next.

Otherwise, it's anybody's guess where it might go.

This is going to be a serious bargain once the market negativity eases off.

Douta will be operational within 2yrs. What is the expected cashflow benefit to any "Segilola extension" before Douta is operational? Not massive? Perhaps very little? So, what is being requested is news to drive sentiment. Sentiment that won't 'beat' negative gold sentiment (war, inflation, USD strength, IRs, whatever term of the equation you want to use). Segilola sentiment (market reaction) should be a lot less than any sentiment (market reaction) related to +500koz of oxide at Douta, so Douta news has a better chance of improving things. Segilola extension does not mean dumping all ounces into the mining plan in the next 18 months. So, I'd like +500koz at Douta before half of that at Segilola, please, especially if over 5+ years. And maybe a few million oz in the Ivory Coast. Adding say another 50koz to Segilola production over the next two years is welcome and material but the only way for the Thor share price is wherever gold goes 'pretty much'. Patience is required. I see a huge opportunity for accumulation as we move leveraged to PoG, based wholly and solely on a war (and consequential effects) that absolutely will end. Plus, I think there will be construction acceleration at Douta. I'd stop short on betting the house it is operational in 2027 but we're very much only 18 months away from the point the SP ought to 'see' the majority of the benefit (all being well with PoG, as always, not forgetting that $4k PoG is very, very, very good, historically). Noting that Thor has HUGE cash in the bank and the NAV of the other leases. It's unbelievably cheap considering PoG is only down ~20% or so from peak. Nothing otherwise negative has happened since the SP breached £1. I shall continue to fill my boots for 3/4 mines in 2030 or so, as I believe PoG doesn't lose all its value and will appreciate again post-war. DYOR and measure your own risk, etc.

Quite right. Even under £4k gold THX prints a LOT of cash. And while the Segilola extn plan would be nice to see, we know there's plenty of production from stockpile, we know there are economic satellite deposits, we know there is more gold in the pit, we know there is more gold u/ground. It's not like Segun is wildcatting to keep the crushers fed, we know from drilling there's years of production left, we just haven't seen the plan yet.

It shouldn't be hard to be patient when cash is building up by over $4.5m every week (80k ozs x $3k margin/365 x7) less c. $500k exploration costs.

So many reasons oft documented on here and elsewhere. Not least the forthcoming updates in all the jurisdictions, not all imminent but coming.

Cash last quarter stood at just less than $180 million. With another quarter of printing money, that rises to almost a quarter of a billion $$$

Last time I looked our market value was less than double that. Bonkers.

I don’t think anyone is saying it’s not important. But you’ve gone much further, saying the only way is down when the MCAP is already crazily low. If you know of any other stocks who should have half their MCAP in cash by year end, as well as 3/4 exploration licences then I’d love to hear about them…

The fact is, we are at least two years away from income from Douta.

For the stock market, two years is a lifetime.

The only income this year and next will be from Segilola extension, plus stockpiles.

Hence the importance of the Segilola extension numbers.

H

It would be helpful, but as others have said, the main drivers of sp weakness are PoG and macro issues.

Segilola extn wont solve that

We need numbers from Segilola, soon. Even if they are not great, better something definite.

Otherwise the only way is down.

Correct Will and ADW - it has ALREADY been extended, though the market is somewhat being forced to put 2+2 together on actual amounts. But that data is coming. As was pointed out, those indices and other miners who were also down... were they not putting out Segilola news? Oh, yes, they weren't! We may be onto something here! So, could well be the lack of Segilola news that knocked Barrick 7+% on Friday! Someone get in touch with pretty much all miners and get them to put out Segilola news! Strong job data, war, high energy prices, inflation... PoG being controlled by IR bets and USD strength, as has been the case for months now. All miners without some sort of exceptional milestone news are suffering the same. My belief is Segilola news won't be the dramatic re-rate people think as IIs are major holders are almost certainly deep into an investment thesis that focuses on Douta and Cote d'Ivoire. A few little traders on the lse board are inconsequential. It will be multiples in 2yrs IMHO. DYOR, etc.

To add to your point ADW around that bear case of not finding any more gold, i think "more" is the main word there, we have seen initial drills and we know there is some amount of gold underground, segun just wants a minimum before releasing an updated plan to market, he also wants to know about the viability of cutting back the current open pit more, hence why they currently have consultants in as per last update assessing this.

When they know if its a pure underground/ satellite play, they will firm up and release

Im not sure how seriously to take your comment Lucien, but to my understanding the position is that after this years 75-85k production the initial mine life is pretty much done, or certainly when you add the 50k oz on the stockpile.

So by year end we’ll have somewhere between $250m - $300m cash, plus the circa $200-250m gold on the stockpile.

If they don’t find another Oz from underground or any of the satellite pits (including the one they’ve already got a licence for and intend on trialing) most the MCAP is covered, with zero value assigned to Douta or Cote D’ivoire.

He’s spoken of targeting another 250k-300k ounces so most of us think some form of extension is nailed on.

It’s fair to say it’s a bit disappointing how long it’s taking to guide the market but I suspect it’s not straightforward combing all the different deposits and making a concrete plan. Perhaps he’s also being slightly coy to help the negotiations about extending the pioneer status. Again, he referenced applying for an extension which further implies they’ll be busy at segilola for a few more years.

So against all that how low do you see us going and why?

Canaccord lifted its target to 150p less than 4 weeks ago...

"Its the (gold price) stupid..."

To misquote a well known phrase or saying...

In Trump we trust...then WHOOOOSSSSHHHH!!!!

Fully agree with ISA. The big picture is the driver here for the next few weeks. Gold is down 3% today, GDXJ the best proxy for junior gold miners is down 8.5%. It’s nothing to do with THX. The US got spooked by a sell off of Chip manufacturers because Broadcom missed its revenue forecast- if tech fails everything fails. We are invested in THX because we are contra investors so don’t panic when the reason you invested manifests. Nothing will happen here and then all off a sudden in a few months it will happen very quickly

3/5/26. Analysts have lifted their fair value estimate for Thor Explorations from CA$1.98 to CA$2.38, citing updated assumptions that include higher revenue growth, a slightly stronger profit margin, a lower future P/E multiple, and a modestly reduced discount rate.

Valuation Changes

Fair Value: CA$1.98 to CA$2.38, a modest increase in the analyst fair value estimate.

Discount Rate: 7.83% to 7.63%, a small reduction in the assumed rate used to value future cash flows.

Revenue Growth: 2.06% decline to 2.01% growth, indicating a move from a contractionary to a mildly expansionary revenue outlook.

Net Profit Margin: 49.46% to 50.18%, reflecting a slight uplift in expected profitability.

Future P/E: 9.58x to 8.73x, representing a lower assumed valuation multiple applied to future earnings.

The PE multiple will jump when THX is a 2-mine company and again when it's a 3-mine owner.

Bring it on.

Mirrors my views, pretty much: "we can all choose what glasses to wear I guess. Let's just disregard anything they're saying about satellites etc on Segilola and strip it to the bones. Two years of processing on the stockpile, 30k per year at low AISC (remember hearing Segun say something about sub 500). That gives you 120m USD per year at todays GP or 240m over the two years leading up to Douta. +cash and bullion balance of 173m. Closing in on 600m CAD. So wait what? I can buy Thor for 900m CAD, take home 600 and just wait for Douta? I'm getting Douta inc optionality + CDI operations for 200m US?? Dirt cheap through that lens"

Gold down today but still hovering around that $4,500/oz figure, so one month left of Q2 and the Segilola margin is still tremendous! That'll be the end of the half and cash in the bank should be huge! Q3 then hopefully adds 500koz to Douta and we move into construction phase. Very exciting couple of years ahead.

Solid update, nothing majorly new but some interesting snippets and the 250-300k segilola figure stood out as that’s the short term catalyst.

Original reserve base was 517k…

produced to end 2025 369k, stockpile 54k oz, forecast this year 80k = 503oz, so in theory nothing really left at year end.

Whilst we all think / know it’ll be extended, the continued lack of concrete confirmation to the market is constraining us imo. Or giving a chance to top up low!

He’s sounds very bullish on Douta - the previous target was between 200k -500k oxide ounces which was yesterday described as a target of 500k, ie the lower range wasn’t referenced.

Sounds like it’s going to be a super busy time with all the drill results and Douta financing / government updates.

Just a matter of letting it play out.

Unfortunately I was unable to log in your address a Q yesterday, but I would like your have seen Segun set out some sort of schedule of Segilola production profile as far as possible, with perhaps indications of degree of certainty as that timeline goes forward.

I appreciate drilling goes on and the mine plan is not finalised. But mb it's time to give the market a better indication of the possible production profile for the next 5 years, even tho it will be subject to later revision.

Like my good friend Johnson Bellweather said in the Willz of Wolf Street - "If you ain't buyin', you ain't tryin'"

Solid update as always with Segun and the team. Pleased to see with a month left of the quarter, he is maintaining "targets" for drill releases, news, etc. in Q2. Interesting question about how much they were targeting for Segilola extension (250-300k/oz) and reconfirmation of the +500koz Oxide target at Douta, throw in the impending Cote d'Ivoire updates and Thor have a very rich pipeline indeed. Without re-watching (yet), I believe he said they "continue to intercept mineable deposits" at Segilola. Perhaps not verbatim. Whilst we have a long way to go, seems clear how they will be at 100s of 1000s oz per year come ~2030. Marahui drills in a few weeks will tell us more and firm up the initial, stunning grades and then there is Guitry, which has already shown very positive results. Almost regardless of where PoG may be (realistically), barring some other unpredictable event, Thor seem to be right on track to be a big player in West Africa, come the end of the decade. I continue to add here with the very real expectation of a multi-pound SP by the end of the decade. It'll look very cheap today if they do bring in another ~800oz between Segilola and Douta, by year end.

Unless it’s 5 quid a share before douta is up I don’t see Segun selling, imagine he would be like Jason Belmont during the wolf of Wall Street seen “I ain’t find leaving” haha

It's important to note, everyone has a price. We are in m&a season, so don't be surprised by a buy out.

Https://x.com/i/status/2058947902043513229

Yeah all the indicators are pointing to stagflation = lower real interest rates which historically is good for gold. It depends on non G7 central banks - gold sell off by Turkey and Russia to fund FX but others seem to still be buying to decrease dollar reserves

I had a very interesting chat with a c-suite hedge fund guy last night (personally holds THX) about PoG... He doesn't see it as a 'drop' (ok, it is in absolute terms), he sees the war as having put in a much higher floor i.e. around this $4500 level. He reckons the run up to over $5k from the $3k level was a lot of froth and would likely have pulled back below where we are today. Thus, we may be off highs, but we now have a much higher floor going forwards or in his terms... PoG has actually 'increased'. Only an opinion, he could be wrong and his specialism is bonds but an interesting observation none the less, from a fellow investor.

Morning

Segen said he expects $300m cash by the end of this calendar year. Obviously it can flex up or down a bit depending on production and Gold price but it’s fairly easy to see the basis for that figure.

Even if we only sell 50k Oz across Q23&4 at $4200 using $1200AISC that’s another $150m profit. Appreciate we’re spending circa $30m on explorations but they are very very pessimistic figures too.

60k sold at a $3500 margin obviously gives $210m profit.

The war has been a surprising negative to Gold but I think medium term it just means Gold stays elevated for longer.

$153 million added to cash in the past 12 months.

We can expect a similar amount of $150 million to be added in the next 12 months. So $300 million added in 2 years.

Cost of the new mine and processing facility at Douta is $254 million so the part finance to be agreed soon will be more than covered by this tsunami of cash being generated each quarter. With plenty over for development of the mine at Segilola and continuing proving up of additional resource and exploration in 3 countries.

Great numbers as expected - the AISC a real positive.

I also noted the slightly limited reference to Guitry. Perhaps that’s not delivered any material drill results as it has been quite a while without any drill results / updates.

I think Douta is going to be the real company maker here because we know the base case is already super compelling with good reason to think it’ll get bigger and better. The only question appears to be how much better it’ll get.

Very speculative on my part but I wouldn’t be shocked with a Tuesday RNS ahead of the Investor Meets the same day. Possibly an update on HOT re financing - he seemed to imply both that and mining licence approval was close.

Yeah I agree, Segun has always seemed very bullish. In my eyes i think they will likely progress them in parallel, they will have the capital to do both given doutas potential but also the fact that Segi will more than likely still be driving good cashflow at the same time douta is (hence why production has been maintained at a higher level this year than forecast.

I am looking forward to asking some questions around the cutting back of the open pit, as i thought they already had some consultants in end of last year to start looking at this. Also keen to understand how many oz's from both the cutting back, satalites and underground that they consider material enough to release to the market. He used the this wording multiple times in the last webinar, but it would be good to have a steering as to how many oz's he considers material, Given his ambition and delays to the douta PFS and the level of oz that were added.

Willz, yes, that caught my eye too.

Perhaps (or not), more significantly, Segun DIDN'T mention Guitry in his summary at the end.

Bearing in mind Thor's RNSs tend to be very carefully considered IMO, I reckon that the Marahui drilling results may be quite exciting, and Marahui may be leapfrogging Guitry in the eyes of management.

Obviously that is all speculation, but we know how excited Segun has appeared to be over Marahui in the past, and I think you and I have been of the same mind on Marahui since the initial soil and rock-chip sample results.

Cracking job maintaining the AISC lower than $950/oz and, lower even than Q1 2025, with the average sales price over $2,000/oz higher! That's some margin! Net Cash of almost US$180 million already, which probably guarantees relatively pain-free Douta construction and maintenance of the dividend, IMHO. Lots of news to come and all developments progressing nicely. Solid update. Very comfortable here going forwards. Whilst it feels like PoG has taken a hammering during the war, it's maintaining $4500/oz+ and look what those margins are doing to the balance sheet! There is an incredibly bright future here, considering that every day that goes by, we're a day closer to breaking ground at Douta and defining the Cote d'Ivoire Maidens. Good work by management as always.

This caught my eye in Seguns comments. In Côte d'Ivoire, the early exploration results from Marahui continue to support our view that the project has significant exploration potential

Fwiw my own view agrees with that set out in that gold paradox link. BUT...I fear the sell off may have furher to go as PoO inevitably rises further in the next months barring a miraculous return of peace in the Gulf.

It's hopeless trying to trade it tho imv, I'm just holding on thru the dip but holding a few oilies too.

.... 15% tax WHT on the dividend taken by ii, so that's something I suppose 🤔

Noel, I just checked and ii have now deposited the dividend. Good luck with the AAU investment 😎

Halifax / BOS have still not paid this dividend either, and I expect them to take their usual 25% tax.

Credit to AJ Bell who paid up on time and only deducted 15% tax.

Hi Kat. This morning I'm even more annoyed about it because I had been planning to spend the money on AAU shares. They are due to release drilling results and I'm hopeful of good results.

This morning I looked at the AAU price it was up by 10.8% this morning. Because of II I missed out on that. However, I'm trying not to get angry. The AAU price has since dropped back a bit and buying AAU is a gamble. The results might be a flop and the price could drop.

Hi Noel. If it's going to happen today it's usually around 11-12 o'clock. But yeah, they used to be better than this at getting the dividend out a few years back.

I prefer Knorr.

The 3 brokers listed in the full year conference call , canaccord, hannam & partners, Alternative Resource capital, all provide paid services to thor, so these are not independent. Does anyone know if there are any independent brokers who have given share price target above current price ?

Douta, Thor 100%, but expected Government free carry 10%. It has a current estimated reserve of 1.2 million oz at 1.03 gm/t, a resource of 1.97 million oz of gold at 1 gm/t with an initial mine life of 12 years.

This area in eastern Senegal is characterized by an extensive gold mining industry with a large number of open pits that in total host or have hosted 12 million oz of gold. Douta lies within this rich gold landscape with the possibility of multiple million oz of gold from multiple open pits feeding in to a central processing hub.

Exploration here has proceeded over a number of years but there are many targets. Further exploration and drilling along a 15 km mineralised corridor and new licences contiguous with the original licence should increase the 2 million oz resource substantially.

26/1/26. Pre Feasability Study Summary.

Production to average 111 oz pa for the first 3 years of mine life at an AISC of US$1,469/oz.

The estimated cost of building a 100k oz pa mine at Douta is $254 million.

Pre-tax project NPV5% of US$908 million and IRR of 73% at a gold price assumption of US$3,500/oz – Payback 11 months

This is a huge licence area with many open pit gold mines.

It had reserves of 2.6 million oz at 3.94 gm/t and a resource of 4.4 million oz on sale from Barrick.

The ore is partly oxide and partly refractory with processing at Sabodala processing facility via CIL and a new BIOX.

It was acquired (90%) by Teranga Gold Corp from Barrick for US$380 million in cash and shares in 2020 (then Teranga was subsequently acquired by Endeavour Mining in 2021).

Sabodala-Massawa. Endeavour. This is a Tier 1 world class mining complex, the largest in Senegal.

Douta is aprox 30 km SE of the processing facility.

Sabodala has been in operation snce 2009.

Historic production. Over 4 million oz of gold.

2025 Reserves of 2.7 million oz at 2.01 gm/t. M&I resources are 5.2 million oz at 2.02 gm/tTotal endowment. Over 9 million oz.

It has production from mostly open pits in the region with some underground at 273k oz at 2 gm/t in 2025 with AISC $1248 oz.

Makabingui gold project. Bishop Resources. Resource of 1 million oz at 2.6 gm/t.

Located immediately to the east of the northern part of Douta's licence.

Other properties in the region include:

 Mako Gold Mine. Resolute. Resource of 1.3 million oz, located approx 35 km SW of Douta.

Loulo (W Mali) - 12.5Moz. Barrick.

Goukoto (W Mali) 5.4Moz. Barrick.

I don't know why, but it happens that shares that have everything going for them just go ot of focus. Andean Precious Metals a Canadian company which I sold three weeks back, having a fwd P/E of 4.4 and a EPS of 27.4 and anouncing good news just appears to drift. Reluctantly I've bought some trusts and similar trackers of the Nasdaq which appear to be bowling along; on what I'm not sure. At the end of the day I beieve the essential commodities will show their worth.

Douta. Shallow drilling for oxide ore has been yielding significant results which may convert into 3 new pits to feed into the main processing hub for Douta.

Bousankhoba Exploration Drilling Results.

This new licence has had first drilling in 2026. It's showing excellent potential from initially three prospects SW of and parallel with the main 2 million oz Makosa resource at Douta.

Sekhoto North Prospect.

Approx 3 kilometres north of Sekhoto, the Sekhoto North Prospect has been defined by strong gold-in-soil anomalies. A first-pass air-core drilling program over these anomalies that was completed by Thor in early 2026, delivered multiple significant intersections.

· Drillhole BSAC045 - 4m at 17.0g/t Au from 7m

· Drillhole BSA019 - 4m at 4.56g/t Au from 6m

Massa Massa Prospect.

Near Makosa Tail at the SW end of the defined resource for Douta. This could be the most significant deposit in this new licence.

The Massa Massa Prospect is located in the northern portion of the Bousankhoba exploration permit and covers an area of extensive artisanal gold workings. These workings align with a series of parallel north-east trending shear zones that form a semi-continuous strike length of 4.2 kilometres. The Company intends to immediately mobilise an RC rig to this area, which has yet to be drill-tested.

Sekhoto Prospect.

SW of Sekhoto North and on trend with the other two prospects. Not drilled yet.

At the Sekhoto Prospect, gold mineralisation has been delineated over approximately 1.5 kilometres of strike.

All indicators are positive here. Medium term indicators for gold are also bullish- post war stagflation will benefit gold and a sector rerate is on the cards when 24 month trailing average goes through $4k in the autumn

He did actually explain the reason for the behind schedule results. They are / were pretty materially behind schedule on all fronts and the lack of results from Segilola in particular did give me a slight worry, but even that appears to be the fact they don’t want to prematurely release results without fully understanding how accessible it is. I expect Guitry to be next update.

Anyway, great update today to get things rolling and particularly pleasing to see him keep referencing constriction starting this year. It seems Douta will continue to grow and grow against already impressive economics.

Q1 financials should be the week after next too.

If (when imo) Gold takes off again I suspect we’ll really start to rerate.

It happens and exactly why I only ever add here. The long term prospects for Thor tell me we'll laugh at how low the SP was now, in a few years. Segun said Q2 would be a banger and we're not even halfway through, so they seem to be on (the new/updated) target. I have some shares to move from account to account and won't touch them this quarter. 2 RNS in 2 days... anything can happen here and there seems to be a high probability it will be good news. Time in the market for a miner on this trajectory IMHO.

You couldn't make it up :|

It’s all positive - not the Douta construction and permit or Oxide resources confirmation we are waiting for but indicates that Phase 2 is viable and builds the case for upscaling THX to mid tier multi jurisdiction miner

Seems massively positive, as ever I just wish there was a rather more forward looking executive, plain English summary that says what the actual upshot of all this is!

But oodles of gold deposits and more and more material for the cheaper (easier and quicker??) oxide mining phases, so this all has to be most welcome

Shallow = Open Pit Mining = Cheap Op Costs

Looks like swapping “mine builder” Non Exec for “operational scaler” Non Exec in preparation for next stage to mid tier multi jurisdiction miner. Positive move.

Sounds like a strong addition to The Board for a growing miner!

Happy with a daily drip feed into sharebuy backs, no reason it couldn’t be spread over the entire year to ensure not to overly influence the share price. More than possible. Find the sweet spot, anything left over divi and special divi. When the p/e is so low, and when you run the numbers, the leverage is incredible. Appreciate it may or may not support liquidity.

CEO has explained multiple times mate due to the average volumes an market rules it would take ages to buy back even a small portion so the money is better used through dividend and the special dividend

It’s a shame the ceo didn’t use this opportunity for a share buyback. At Thors P/E ratio it was a no brainer!

THX Dividend payment will be Friday next week.

"The Company also confirms that the quarterly dividend will be paid on 15 May, 2026."

An opportunity for some to reinvest the proceeds here whilst the sp is low cf the high of 99p a few months ago in January!

Probably the lowest-cost gold producer” - but I wouldn’t let that put anyone off.

With the P/E this low, any further increase in the gold price should still add materially to the valuation, possibly more than it would for higher-cost producers.

Also worth remembering that not all the projects are ultra-low cost. The higher-cost projects have more operational gearing to the gold price, so as gold moves up, their profit margins should expand materially too.

There is often a delayed lag in THX due to not being a FTSE 250 company.... same with SRB.
