Thor Mining chairman Billings resigns positions at shareholder Western Desert Resources
Thor Mining (AIM: THR) said its executive chairman Mick Billing has resigned as a director and the non-executive chairman of Western Desert Resources Ltd, which holds 24.97 million Thor Mining shares, or an 11.53 percent stake.
The company has recently said it would scale back activities on the company’s flagship Molyhil tungsten molybdenum project in Australia due to the continued weakness in international markets for molybdenum. In addition the weakness in the US Dollar this year has further impacted on the Molyhil’s economics.
The company said the directors remain committed to Molyhil and strongly believe in its long term viability. Steps have been taken to conserve cash levels.
These included cessation of work with third party engineering companies on verifying capital and operating cost savings for the Molyhil project and a 50% reduction in directors remuneration and the redundancy of chief executive officer Ian Sheffield-Parker. Executive chairman Mick Billing is undertaking his role in the interim.
