The subsidiary companies, Molyhil Mining Pty Ltd and T M Gold Pty Ltd had each granted a mortgage over certain tenements,
generally comprising that company's project at Molyhil and Spring Hill respectively on which it holds mineral licences or
exploration licenses.  During the year ended 30 June 2016, the proceeds from the sale of TM Gold Pty Ltd (holding the
Spring Hill tenements) were used to repay the loan in February 2016, and the mortgages were discharged.

1 The Directors advanced funds on a no security, no interest basis to meet short term funding requirements of the Group. 
The loans at 30 June 2015 were repaid during the year ended 30 June 2016.  Subsequently, during the year ended 30 June
2016, the Directors again advanced funds to the Group.  Certain Directors have undertaken to receive repayment of A$150,000
(£83,235) through the issue of the Company's securities, subject to shareholder approval (refer Note 23). 
 
2 As part of the acquisition of the Pilot Mountain Tungsten Project in November 2014, borrowings of A$625,000 were novated
to the acquired company, Black Fire Industrial Minerals Pty Ltd, prior to the acquisition by Thor.  Post acquisition,
during the year ended 30 June 2015, A$300,000 of the borrowings were settled through the issue of Shares in Thor, leaving
borrowings of A$325,000 (£159,000) at 30 June 2015 which were secured over the assets of Black Fire Industrial Minerals Pty
Ltd.  During the year ended 30 June 2016, these borrowings were fully repaid and the security discharged.

Nominal Value 
 
The nominal value of shares in the company was originally 0.3 pence.  At a shareholders meeting in September 2013,  the
Company's shareholders approved a re-organisation of the company's shares which resulted in the creation of two classes of
shares, being: 
 
·      Ordinary shares with a nominal value of 0.01 pence, which will continue as the company's listed securities. 
 
·      Deferred shares with a value of 0.29 pence which, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act 2006, may be
cancelled by the company, or bought back for £1 and then cancelled. These deferred shares are not quoted and carry no
rights whatsoever.

Options are valued at an estimate of the cost of the services provided. Where the fair value of the services provided
cannot be estimated, the value of the options granted is calculated using the Black-Scholes model taking into account the
terms and conditions upon which the options are granted. The following table lists the inputs to the model used for the
share options remaining in the Share Based Payments Reserve at the year ended 30 June 2016.

18.    Contingent liabilities and commitments 
 
a) Exploration commitments 
 
Ongoing exploration expenditure is required to maintain title to the Group mineral exploration permits.  No provision has
been made in the financial statements for these amounts as the expenditure is expected to be fulfilled in the normal course
of the operations of the Group. 
 
b) Claims of native title 
 
The Directors are aware of native title claims which cover certain tenements in the Northern Territory.  The Group's policy
is to operate in a mode that takes into account the interests of all stakeholders including traditional owners'
requirements and environmental requirements.  At the present date no claims for native title have seriously affected
exploration by the Company. 
 
c) Contingent Liability 
 
Under the terms of a debt facility agreement entered into, the Company had jointly guaranteed the performance of its
subsidiary companies, Molyhil Mining Pty Ltd, and T M Gold Pty Ltd in terms of those companies' obligations to the lender. 
 
During the year ended 30 June 2016, the proceeds from the sale of TM Gold Pty Ltd (holding the Spring Hill tenements) were
used to repay the debt facility in February 2016, and the guarantee was discharged. 
 
19.    Financial instruments 
 
The Group uses financial instruments comprising cash, liquid resources and debtors/creditors that arise from its
operations. 
 
The Group's exposure to currency and liquidity risk is not considered significant.  The Group's cash balances are held in
Pounds Sterling and in Australian Dollars, the latter being the currency in which the significant operating expenses are
incurred. 
 
To date the Group has relied upon equity funding to finance operations.  The Directors are confident that they will be able
to raise additional equity capital to finance operations to commercial exploitation but controls over expenditure are
carefully managed. 
 
The net fair value of financial assets and liabilities approximates the carrying values disclosed in the financial
statements.  The currency and interest rate profile of the Group's financial assets is as follows: 
 
                     2016   2015  
 £'000               £'000  
                                  
                                  
 Sterling            169    4     
 Australian Dollars  1      39    
                     170    43    
 
 
The financial assets comprise interest earning bank deposits and a bank operating account. 
 
Set out below is a comparison by category of carrying amounts and fair values of all of the Group's financial instruments
recognised in the financial statements, including those classified under discontinued operations.  The fair value of cash
and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables approximate to book value due to their short-term maturity. 
 
The fair values of derivatives and borrowings have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows at
prevailing interest rates.  The fair values of loan notes and other financial assets have been calculated using market
interest rates.

In February 2014, the Company entered into a share subscription agreement and an equity swap agreement, with Lanstead
Capital LP ("Lanstead").  These agreements expired in January 2016. 
 
During the year ended 30 June 2016, the proceeds from the sale of TM Gold Pty Ltd (refer Note 22) were used to repay the
'Non interest bearing liabilities' in February 2016. 
 
The following table sets out the carrying amount, by maturity, of the financial instruments exposed to interest rate risk:

20.    Related parties 
 
There is no ultimate controlling party. 
 
Thor has lent funds to its wholly owned subsidiaries to enable those companies to carry out their operations. At 30 June
2016 the estimated recoupable amount converted to £7,886,000 (refer Note 8(b)). 
 
Thor Mining PLC engages the services of Ronaldsons LLP Solicitors, a company in which Mr Stephen Ronaldson is a Partner. Mr
Ronaldson is the UK based Company Secretary.  During the year £15,317 (2015 £32,000) was paid to Ronaldsons LLP Solicitors
on normal commercial terms. 
 
21.    Business Combination 
 
In the prior financial year, on 27 October 2014, Thor Mining PLC acquired 100% of the issued shares in Black Fire
Industrial Minerals Pty Ltd, an exploration company, for consideration of £687,797.  The acquired company controls Mining
Claims situated in south-western Nevada, referred to as the Pilot Mountain project. 
 
Purchase consideration of £687,797 consisted of 418,750,000 Ordinary Shares in Thor.  The fair value of the shares issued
was determined by reference to the closing price of Thor Shares on the ASX at the date of acquisition of A$0.003, and
converted at the AUD/GBP exchange rate on that date. 
 
The assets and liabilities recognised, in the prior financial year, as a result of the acquisition were as follows: 
 
                                                     £'000  
 Intangible assets - Deferred Exploration Costs (1)  1,038  
 Prepayments                                         37     
 Trade & other Payables                              (45)   
 Non-interest bearing liabilities (2)                (342)  
 Net identifiable assets acquired                    688    
 
 
(1)  The book value of the Deferred Exploration costs in the acquired company, Black Fire Industrial Minerals Pty Ltd, was
£1,262,000.  A conservative position was taken in the accounting for the acquisition, by writing down the deferred
exploration costs by £224,000 to reflect fair value at acquisition, rather than recognising a gain on bargain purchase. 
 
(2)  Borrowings of A$625,000 were novated to the acquired company, Black Fire Industrial Minerals Pty Ltd, prior to the
acquisition by Thor.  Prior to 30 June 2015, A$300,000 of these borrowing had been settled through the issue of shares in
Thor.  The remaining borrowings of A$325,000 (£159,000) at 30 June 2015 were secured over the assets of Black Fire
Industrial Minerals Pty Ltd.  During the year ended 30 June 2016, these remaining borrowings were repaid in full and the
security discharged. 
 
Acquisition-related costs of £77,000 are included in Corporate expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive
Income in the prior year, ending 30 June 2015. 
 
22.    Business Disposal 
 
TM Gold Pty Ltd ("TM Gold") was a 100% owned subsidiary of Thor, with activities in the state of Western Australia (Dundas
tenements) and the Northern Territory of Australia (Spring Hill tenements).  On the 26 February 2016, the Group completed a
share purchase and subscription agreement to dispose of the Spring Hill tenements, through the disposal of 100% of Thor's
shareholding in TM Gold to PC Gold Pty Ltd ("PC Gold").  Prior to completion of the sale, the Dundas tenements were
transferred to another 100% owned subsidiary of Thor, Hale Energy Limited at book value.  The share purchase and
subscription agreement was then enacted, with PC Gold subscribing for new ordinary shares equating to a 60% shareholding of
the issued shares in TM Gold for A$2.0m (£1.11m) cash.  The Group and PC Gold are legally committed to the transfer of the
remaining 40% shareholding held by Thor no later than February 2017, in exchange for the remaining instalment of A$1.5m
(£0.832m).  As a result, TM Gold is no longer a part of the consolidated group from 26 February 2016.  The A$1.5m
instalment is included in the Group's receivables (refer Note 11). 
 
The consideration payable to Thor also includes a royalty of: 
 
•   A$6.00 per ounce of gold produced from the Spring Hill tenements where the gold is sold for up to A$1,500 per ounce;
and 
 
•   A$14 per ounce of gold produced from the Spring Hill tenements where the gold so produced is sold for amounts over
A$1,500 per ounce. 
 
Given the inherent uncertainties in determining the likely amount of the potential future royalties, the Directors have
elected to not to ascribe a value to the royalty at this point. 
 
The Income Statement impact of this transaction for the Consolidated Group is as follows: 
 
                                                                    £'000

(1)  As at 31 December 2015, the Group had executed an option agreement for the sale of Spring Hill. That agreement
provided a third party with the option to acquire the Spring Hill tenements though the acquisition of 100% of TM Gold Pty
Ltd for total consideration of A$3.5m and production royalties. Based on this, the Directors revalued the carrying value of
the Spring Hill tenement downwards by £719,000 to its realisable value. 
 
The Income Statement impact of this transaction for the Company is as follows: 
 
                                                               £'000
