company, in relation to the acquisition by the Company of the Pilot Mountain
Tungsten Project, located in Nevada, USA, by way of the purchase all of the
issued shares in the capital of Black Fire Industrial Minerals Pty Ltd, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Black Fire Minerals Ltd. The passage of resolution
6 will enable the Company to issue Ordinary Shares as consideration for this
acquisition, subject to the execution of the formal Share Sale and Purchase
Agreement and satisfaction of certain other conditions.
Certain Thor directors lent funds to Black Fire Minerals Ltd in March 2014 to
enable Black Fire Minerals Ltd to complete the acquisition of the Pilot
Mountain Tungsten Project. If the transaction between the Company and Black
Fire Minerals Ltd completes, those loans will be converted to Ordinary Shares.
The passage of resolution 7 makes possible the issue of Ordinary Shares (to be
held by the Directors beneficially as CDIs) on conversion of these loans,
subject also to the execution of the formal Share Sale and Purchase Agreement
and satisfaction of certain other conditions.
Should the acquisition of Black Fire Minerals Ltd and the conversion of
Directors' loans proceed as anticipated and assuming no other shares are
issued in the meantime, the number of Ordinary Shares in issue will increase
to 2,819,104,937. Further announcements will be made as the transaction
