About Thor Mining PLC

Thor Mining PLC (AIM, ASX: THR; OTCQB: THORF) is a diversified resource
company quoted on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange, ASX in
Australia and OTCQB Market in the United States.

The Company is advancing its diversified portfolio of precious, base, energy
and strategic metal projects across the USA and Australia. Its focus is on
progressing its copper, gold, uranium and vanadium projects, while seeking
investment/JV opportunities to develop its tungsten/molybdenum assets.

Thor owns 100% of the Ragged Range Project, comprising 92 km(2) of exploration
licences with highly encouraging early-stage gold and nickel results in the
Pilbara region of Western Australia, with follow up drilling planned for 2022.

At Alford East in South Australia, Thor is earning an 80% interest in copper
deposits considered amenable to extraction via In Situ Recovery techniques
(ISR). In January 2021, Thor announced an Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate
of 177,000 tonnes contained copper & 71,000 oz gold¹.

Thor also holds a 30% interest in Australian copper development company
EnviroCopper Limited, which in turn holds rights to earn up to a 75% interest
in the mineral rights and claims over the resource on the portion of the
historic Kapunda copper mine and the Alford West copper project, both situated
in South Australia, and both considered amenable to recovery by way of
ISR.²³

Thor holds 100% interest in two private companies with mineral claims in the
US states of Colorado and Utah with historical high-grade uranium and vanadium
drilling and production results.

Thor holds 100% of the advanced Molyhil tungsten project, including measured,
indicated and inferred resources⁴, in the Northern Territory of Australia,
which was awarded Major Project Status by the Northern Territory government in
July 2020. Drilling in November December 2021 intersected strike extensions to
the main ore zone.

Adjacent to Molyhil, at Bonya, Thor holds a 40% interest in deposits of
tungsten, copper, and vanadium, including Inferred resource estimates for the
Bonya copper deposit and the White Violet and Samarkand tungsten deposits.
