Thor Mining
Thor Mining PLC, AIM, ASX: 'THR' is a minerals exploration and development company focused on exploring and developing specialty metals projects. The flagship project is the Molyhil Tungsten-Molybdenum Project. Since mid 2004 Molyhil has been the subject of systematic test work comprised of geophysical exploration, a diamond and RC drilling programme, surface and underground bulk sampling, metallurgical test work and a geotechnical study.
Subsequent to the completion of the updated resource statement, and the Scoping Study, Thor completed a Definitive Feasibility Study in November 2006 which confirmed that the project is technically and economically viable, with strong financial returns and rapid capital payback. Thor has also acquired a number of project areas in the Northern Territory of Australia with prospectivity for uranium mineralisation.
Thor Mining secures off-take for Molyhil Project
The off-take covers Thor’s Molyhil Tungsten - Molybdenum Project in the Northern Territory of Australia. Citic will take 100% of Thor's concentrates. Thor said it was now awaiting final approvals for development of Molyhil, which it expected in the second quarter and it was still considering all of its options for financing.
Chief Executive Officer, John Young, said:
"The negotiation of a long term off-take agreement has been a critical factor in progressing the development of Molyhil. We are very pleased to have secured CITIC as a partner and, with this off-take agreement now in place, we will now move forward to finalise funding arrangements ahead of the planned commencement of construction at Molyhil."
