ANT Geophysical Surveys Commence
Alford East Copper-REE Project, South Australia
The directors of Thor Energy Plc (“Thor” or the “Company”) (AIM, ASX: THR, OTCQB: THORF) are pleased to
announce the commencement of Ambient Noise Tomography (“ANT”) geophysical surveys, in partnership with
Fleet Space Technologies (“Fleet”), at the Alford East Copper-REE Project in South Australia.
Highlights:
▪ Low-impact, ANT surveys are now underway at the Alford East copper-gold Project using EXOSPHERE BY
FLEET® technology (Figure 1).
▪ The ANT surveys are designed to delineate the low-velocity, weathered ‘troughs’ that host the oxide copper-
REE mineralisation within the Alford Copper Belt (Figure 2). They will be completed over the next few weeks.
▪ As part of the collaborative partnership between Thor and Fleet, Fleet will integrate the ANT results with
Thor’s 3D geological model using Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and Machine Learning (“ML”) to generate a new
model for drill targeting higher-grade oxide copper-gold mineralisation (ASX/AIM: 4 September 23).
▪ Future drilling will be concentrated on these targets, characterised by low seismic velocity, to intersect
higher-grade oxide copper-gold mineralisation hosted in units conducive to the possibility of In-Situ Recovery
(“ISR”).
