Executive Chairman of Thor, Mick Billing, commented: “This is outstanding news for the Molyhil development. The potential to increase both the scale and the life of the proposed Molyhil operation is very exciting. The proximity of the Bonya deposits to Molyhil should add significantly to the projected economic returns, dovetailing with our commercialisation strategy for Molyhil. In addition to robust levels of tungsten, it is encouraging that the assay results showed low levels of potential penalty elements and overall coarse grain mineralisation, potentially simplifying processing.”
