The Board of Thor Mining Plc ("Thor" or the "Company") (AIM, ASX: THR), is pleased to advise that it has received binding warrant (option) exercise notices for the conversion of 20,730,855 warrants at the exercise prices shown below, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds being receivable by the Company of £242,577.70 (approximately A$418,000.00).
This brings the total gross proceeds from the exercise of warrants and options since the beginning of November 2017 to £367,577.70 (approximately A$633,300.00).
| Number Exercised | Exercise price | Proceeds |
|---|---|---|

| 16,000,000 | 1.25 pence | £200,000.00 |
Settlement and dealings
Application will be made to the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM") for 20,730,855 Thor ordinary shares of 0.01p each ("Ordinary Shares"), pursuant to the warrant exercise, which rank pari passu with the Company's existing issued Ordinary Shares, to be admitted to trading. Dealings on AIM are expected to commence at 8:00am on or around 13 November 2017 ("Admission").
Mick Billing, Executive Chairman, commented:
"The cash provided from the exercise of warrants and options considerably extends our cash runway and significantly strengthens the working capital position of the Company."
"The money from warrant and option conversions, when added to the £565,000 raised during the recent placing (partially conditional upon shareholder approval at the forthcoming AGM) puts the Company in a robust financial position. As previously outlined, the Company will focus its core financial resources on commercialisation of its key interests."
"As highlighted within the announcement of 2 November 2017, the £125,000 invested by Paul Johnson, Non-Executive Director, has now been received by the Company and will be applied to a restricted fund for the due diligence and assessment of potentially high impact exploration opportunities in Australia, including in the Pilbara region."
"The Company is in a particularly proactive phase and anticipates further operational news flow will be provided to the market in the near term."
