("Thor" or the "Company")

 

Thor Energy Plc to Appoint Director to EnviroCopper Limited Board

 

Thor Energy Plc (AIM, ASX: THR, OTCQB: THORF) is pleased to announce that
Lincoln Moore, Non-Executive Director of Thor Energy Plc, has been appointed
as a director of EnviroCopper Limited ("ECL"), a copper-focused in-situ
recovery ("ISR") specialist company in which Thor holds a 20% interest.

 

ECL was established in 2017 as an in-situ copper recovery ("ISCR") specialist
focused on its South Australian projects at Kapunda (150km North of Adelaide)
and Alford West (180km NE of Adelaide in the Yorke Peninsula). ECL's
specialist team is pioneering ISCR technology development through
collaboration with leading universities, research institutions, Commonwealth
Government grants, seed investment and partnerships with BHP. ECL is a leader
in ISCR and associated gold and rare earth element ("REE") recovery, driving
the technology and economic viability of this low environmental impact
approach to metals extraction.

 

Recently, ECL entered into a collaborative agreement with a large
international firm, which invested A$3.5m to progress the Kapunda and Alford
West (Yorke Peninsula) projects to feasibility ("External Investment of A$3.5m
into ECL & its Copper Projects
(https://www.londonstockexchange.com/news-article/THR/external-investment-into-envirocopper-limited/17295998)
").

 

Thor's decision to reestablish board representation reflects its ongoing
support for ECL's technical progress, the strategic importance of copper in
the global energy transition, and the profitable, environmentally responsible
potential of ISR copper, gold and REEs. With copper and gold trading near
all-time highs, the macroeconomic backdrop further supports the attractiveness
of advancing high-quality, development-ready copper, gold and REE assets. Mr
Moore's appointment to the ECL board provides Thor with strategic oversight of
its 20% investment and will enable closer strategic alignment as ECL
progresses its projects.

 

Bordering Alford West, Thor holds an 80% interest in Alford East, with both
projects located on the Copper Coast of the Yorke Peninsula within South
Australia's historic copper districts and the prolific Olympic Copper-Gold
Province. Both projects are interpreted as metasomatised iron oxide
copper‑gold systems with significant supergene enrichment within
oxide-dominated mineralisation. Located in a world-class copper-gold province,
these near-surface oxide deposits are considered particularly amenable to
low-impact ISR techniques.

 

Thor looks forward to supporting ECL in the next phase of development and to
participating in the potential value creation from a successful copper ISR
platform in South Australia.
