Thor Mining identifies seven anomolies in survey of Harts Range

Thor Mining (ASX, AIM: THR) has identified at least seven Electro magnetic (EM) anomalies with potential for future drilling from interpreted results received from a helicopter-borne Airborne Electromagnetic Survey over the Harts Range exploration licence (EL24735) northeast of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory.

Thor said the survey consisted of 49 flight line traverses flown in a north south direction for a total of 314 line kilometres.

Modelling and interpretation of the survey data has enabled Thor to identify one “Priority 1” anomaly and six “Priority 2” anomalies sourced by potential bedrock conductors and detected at depth of less than 100m below surface.

The company said the cluster of anomalies at the western end of the EL and in particular the Priority 1 anomaly indicated by the red star, are associated with layered amphibolitic rocks and are considered prospective for nickel, copper, gold and platinum group element mineralisation.

Mick Billing, chairman, said the company proposes that a follow-up ground survey be undertaken to better characterise and delineate the selected anomalies to enable the design of a drilling program to optimally target the source.
