Nicole Galloway Warland, Managing Director of Thor Mining, commented:
"The success of our first phase of drilling, with significant uplift in copper and gold grade, adjacent to the Netherleigh Fault, is very exciting and suggests the potential for extended zones of higher-grade copper and gold along strike and at depth.
Demonstrating Thor's greater understanding of the geological and structural constraints through the new geological modelling is critical to the overall project's development, especially as we plan our second phase of drilling and progress our hydrometallurgical studies.
These favourable initial hydrometallurgical results for the metal recovery for both copper and gold using a socially and environmentally friendly solution 'glycine' rather than conventional acid in-situ recovery (ISR) is significant, as Thor strives towards the in-situ assessment of the Alford East Project."
