The Stage 1 requirement saw Thor spend A$500,000, while it will also issue A$250,000 in fully paid Thor shares.
Thor can earn a further 29% interest (80% in total) by funding an additional A$750,000 expenditure over the next 2 years and A$250,000 in Thor shares — which the company’s managing director confirmed they will do.
Nicole Galloway Warland, Managing Director of Thor Mining, said: “The company is now progressing with the completion of the Stage 2 earn in, which will result in Thor having an 80% interest in this highly prospective project. This demonstrates our confidence in Alford East and the value it can bring to the company.”
