“This additional capital for Thor Mining will allow us to continue the intensive exploration work program at our exciting Ragged Range gold & nickel project, including RC drilling of priority drill targets, as well as exploration drilling at Molyhil tungsten-molybdenum Project.

We are very pleased to have ongoing support from the Company’s existing shareholders, and welcome new shareholders to our share register, who recognise the potential of our Ragged Range and Molyhil Projects.
