Kelly's Prospect
Drilling Results and a Correction to a Prior Result
Ragged Range, WA
The directors of Thor Mining Plc ("Thor") (AIM, ASX: THR, OTCQB: THORF) are
pleased to provide drilling results from the Kelly's Prospect, Ragged Range,
located in the Eastern Pilbara, Western Australia.
Project highlights:
§ Drilling has returned anomalous gold and copper values associated with
felsic and dacitic porphyry intrusions into the Euro Basalt at the Kelly's
Prospect, Ragged Range.
§ Best intercepts to date:
· 8m @ 1.31% Cu and 0.1g/t Au from 4m (22RRRC056), including
3m @ 2.9% Cu and 0.17g/t Au
· 1m @ 0.91 g/t Au from 40m (22RRRC049)
· 4m @ 0.1g/t Au, 0.3% Cu, 0.9% Pb, 0.2% Zn from 133m (22RRRC058)
§ QAQC Error: On 12 December 2022, the Bureau Veritas Kalgoorlie laboratory
reported to Thor that the 12.2g/t Au sample from drillhole 22RRC052 as
announced to the market (ASX/RNS: THR 4 November 2022) was an erroneous result
based on the laboratory making a sample swap with an internal standard. The
assay has subsequently reported <0.01g/t Au.

Nicole Galloway Warland, Managing Director of Thor Mining, commented:
"Disappointingly, due to a testing error at the Bureau Veritas laboratory, the
high-grade gold result announced in November was erroneous. Thor is
undertaking an investigation into the laboratory error to ensure that the
highest standard of procedure and reporting is provided going forward.
"These latest drill results are encouraging; however, further work is required
to fully explain why the high-grade gold and copper in surface rock chips is
not repeated in very shallow drill intersections."
The Ragged Range Project, located in the prospective Eastern Pilbara Craton,
Western Australia, is 100% owned by Thor Mining (covering E46/1190, E46/1262,
E46/1355, E46/1340 and E46/1393 - Figure 2 and Figure 3).
Figure 1: Location Plan.
Kelly's Prospect
This small reconnaissance program included six holes along Kelly's Ridge, two
below the historic Kelly's copper workings and two at the Kelly's NE Prospect
(Figure 2).
Drilling at Kelly's Ridge was designed to test below the high-grade rock
chips, returning up to 15g/t Au and 535g/t Ag along the 1km silicified ridge
at the contact between the Boobina Porphyry and Euro Basalt, as well as
testing below and along strike of the historic drillhole (DDHK2(1)) that
intersected 1.5m @ 22.97g/t gold, located at the porphyry-basalt contact
(Figure 3). The recent drillholes appear to have stopped too short to fully
test the targeted contact, with follow-up drilling proposed angled from the
west to east.
The 4m @ 12.2g/t Au intercept from 192 to 196m in drillhole 22RRRC052 has been
assayed in one-metre intervals and report 193 to 194m 0.15g/t Au with 1.6% Zn
and 0.13% Pb and 194 to 195m reports 0.02g/t Au with 0.35% Zn (Figure 3). This
type of zinc and lead metal association is to be expected in areas with
high-grade gold results and observations of quartz sulphide material in these
two metre intervals is very encouraging.
Beneath the historic Kelly's copper workings, copper was intercepted with
anomalous gold and silver warranting further review.
At the Kelly's NE Prospect, high-grade gold (up to 7.2g/t Au) and copper (up
to 13.6 % Cu) identified in rock chips (ASX/RNS: THR 7 December 2022) was
tested by two drillholes, 22RRRC057 and 22RRC058. Wide intersections of
low-grade copper were intersected in the first hole from shallow depth with
moderate grade intercepts in the second hole both at surface and at depth.
Surprisingly the tenor of gold with the copper is subdued, from assays
received to date, compared to the surface rock chips.
Significant results received to date include (greater than 0.1% Cu and 0.1 g/t
Au):
Kelly's Ridge
· 22RRRC049: 1m @ 0.91 g/t Au from 40m
· 22RRRC052: 1m @ 0.15g/t Au and 1.6% Zn
from 196m
Kelly's Mine
· 22RRRC056: 8m @ 1.31% Cu and 0.1g/t Au
from 4m (22RRRC056), including
3m @
2.9% Cu, 0.17g/t Au and 39g/t Ag from 7m
Kelly's NE
· 22RRRC057: 4m @ 0.13% Cu from 20m
· 22RRRC058: 19m @ 0.15% Cu from 8m,
including
3m @
0.24% Cu from 24m, and
3m @ 0.29% Cu, 0.12g/t Au, 8.5g/t Ag, 1.1% Pb, and 0.25% Zn from 133m
(Refer to Table A for Collar information and Table B for Significant Results)
QAQC Error
On 12 December 2022, Bureau Veritas Kalgoorlie laboratory reported to Thor
that the 4m composite sample 194m to 198m at 12.2g/t Au (final assay) from
drillhole 22RRC052 and announced to market (ASX/RNS: THR 4 November 2022) was
an erroneous result based on the laboratory making a sample swap with a
standard (Figure 3). The information for this error, which was supplied by
email from the Bureau Veritas Kalgoorlie Laboratory to Thor, is stated as:
"We found the cause of the elevated Au in this sample to be due to a sample
swap with an internal standard from a second batch that was assayed in the
same fire as the third batch of RRRC0052 containing RRRC003867. Unfortunately,
due to human error at the QAQC stage this swap was not picked up during the
initial assays resulting in the erroneous result being reported."
Based on the location down the hole of the intercept (contact between Euro
Basalt and Porphyry), the position of the intercept relative to the historic
drill intercept 1.52m @ 22.97g/t Au DDHK2 and the high-grade nature of the
historic intercept, plus visible sulphide-rich quartz chips; there was no
reason for Thor to question this assay result.
Thor considers this is not an acceptable practice by the laboratory, for the
original Au error but also the delay in reporting the error to Thor.
Bureau Veritas is re-assaying the full sample batch (relating to 22RRC049 to
22RRC052) to ensure accuracy and integrity of data. We anticipate these
results in January 2023.
Next Steps
The following activities and results at Ragged Range are anticipated over the
coming weeks:
1. Review Kelly's rock-chip and drilling data
2. Continue regional exploration, including
reconnaissance sampling over ground in the northern portion of tenure for
prospective lithium-caesium-tantalum enriched (LCT) pegmatites

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 USA and Australia. Its focus is on
progressing its copper, gold, uranium and vanadium projects, while seeking
investment/JV opportunities to develop its tungsten 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.
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. Thor executed a $8m Farm-in and Funding Agreement with
Investigator Resources Limited (ASX: IVR) to accelerate exploration at the
Molyhil Project on 24(th) November 2022.(6)
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.⁵ Thor's interest in the Bonya tenement EL29701 is planned to be
divested as part of the Farm-in and Funding agreement with Investigator
Resources Limited.(6)
