Non-cash financing and investing activities 
 
 2.1  Details of financing and investing transactions which have had a material effect on consolidated assets and liabilities but did not involve cash flows                                                                                                          
      During the quarter, 142,898,396 new Ordinary Shares were issued to Lanstead Capital L.P. ("Lanstead"), a new institutional investor in the Company, as the 2nd tranche of a two tranche equity placing valued at £750,000.  Consideration for the 2nd tranche   
      Shares was UK£331,688 (A$603,000). As reflected in the cashflow, UK£116,529 (A$212,000) was received during the quarter, relating to both tranches.  The outstanding amount for both tranches at 30 June 2014 is UK£582,329 (A$1,058,000).  In addition, the    
      company has entered into Equity Swap Agreements with Lanstead which allow the Company to secure much of the potential upside arising from anticipated near term news flow.  Full details are contained in the company's announcement of the 20th February 2014. 
      During the quarter, Ram Resources (ASX: RMR) acquired Thor's interests in base metals and PGE (platinum group elements) in Dundas exploration leases E63/1102 and E63/872.  Thor retained its gold and other interests.  An initial consideration of A$70,000 in 
      RMR shares was received during July 2014, and then subsequently sold for A$102,107. A further consideration of A$100,000 in cash or RMR shares is due in 18 months. RMR may elect not to make the payment in which case the base metals and PGE rights revert to 
      Thor.
