Thor Announces Commencement of 10,000 Metre RC Drilling Program at Its Douta Project, Senegal
Figure 1 Douta Gold Project location map Figure 2 Maka drill targets Figure 3 Oblique 3D visualisation of the Makosa mineralised trendNOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. WIRE SERVICESVANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Thor Explorations Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: THX) (“Thor” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has commenced a 10,000 metre reverse circulation (RC) Drilling Program at its Douta Project in Senegal. The RC Drilling Program follows a successful auger drilling campaign carried out in May and June which delineated three promising drill targets in the Douta Exploration Permit.Highlights of the Drilling Program * Three mineralised targets areas. * 10,000 metre contract signed, with the option to increase to 20,000 metres. * Initial drill results expected around the end of November. * The Program will initially focus on the Maka Prospect where two high grade gold mineralised areas have been defined through auger drilling. * The program will then focus on extending the strike length of the Makosa Discovery located in the southern part of the licence. Segun Lawson, President & CEO, stated:” The Douta project is an extremely important asset for Thor and with significant blue-sky exploration potential. Its prospectivity has been further confirmed through the recent auger drilling program which delineated over 9km of mineralised targets to be drilled. The Company is working towards its next major milestone in Senegal, which is a maiden resource.With construction and exploration progressing as planned in Nigeria, we are excited by the additional news flow to come from Douta over the next few months.”About the Douta ProjectThe Douta Gold Project is a gold exploration permit that covers an area of 103 km2 and is located within the Kéniéba inlier, eastern Senegal. The permit is an elongate polygon with dimensions of approximately 32km by 3.3km, trending northeast with an area of 103 km2. Thor, through its wholly owned subsidiary African Star Resources Incorporated (“African Star”), has acquired, 70% of the licence from the permit holder International Mining Company SARL (“IMC”). IMC has a 30% free carry until the announcement by Thor of a Probable Reserve after which it will have to contribute or sell its stake to African Star.The Douta licence is strategically positioned between the ‘world class’ deposits of Massawa and Sabadola to the west and the Makabingui deposit to the east (Figure 1). Within the licence five separate gold prospects have been identified using surface geochemical sampling. These comprise the more advanced Makosa prospect, where first-pass RC and diamond drilling has defined mineralisation over a 3km strike length, and the earlier exploration stage Maka, Mansa, Samba and Makosa Tail prospects.Between March and July 2020 a total of 785 auger drillholes were completed over the Maka, Mansa and Makosa Tail prospects in order to define targets for follow up RC drilling.Figure 1 is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/80313697-f4e4-440c-ba99-685e6705deaeMaka Gold ProspectResults from historic reconnaissance surface soil sampling and rock chip geochemistry identified Maka as an area of interest with surface rock chips returning between 1.6 and 9.6 g/tAu. A limited RC program completed by Thor in 2018 returned a best result of 4m grading 11g/tAu in DMRC012 (Figure 2)Figure 2 is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/877282bb-4b59-407d-a378-9026b17c2860MakosaThe Makosa discovery is the most significant of several significant exploration targets to be drilled by Thor within the Douta Gold Project. A total of 13 diamond holes and 82 RC drillholes have delineated continuous mineralisation over a strike length of 3,000m. Additional RC drilling is designed to increase the mineralised footprint of the mineralisation which is open-ended both along strike to the north and south and at depth.Figure 3 is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/a0289e9e-f9a3-4bae-b0ea-f4d7c111b4dfQualified Person The above information has been prepared under the supervision of Alfred Gillman (Fellow AusIMM, CP), who is designated as a “qualified person” under National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed and approves the content of this news release.

(TSX VENTURE: THX) (“Thor” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce encouraging initial drill results from its infill in-pit diamond core drilling program at its Segilola Gold Project in Nigeria, which is scheduled to pour first gold in Q2 2021. The infill diamond core drilling program was designed to target and de-risk the lower portions of the in-pit resource by upgrading those portions currently classified as waste material and inferred resources in the Segilola Definitive Feasibility Study.Significant intersections include: * Drillhole SGD208: 15m grading at 7.0g/tAu Including 5.6m at 9.2g/tAu and 4.3m at 12.1g/tAu containing abundant particulate visible gold * Drillhole SGD202: 2.7m grading at 7.7g/tAu Figure 1 is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/b44b0fe5-92df-402b-aac7-a6141488d3c5 Segun Lawson, President & CEO, stated: “We are very encouraged by these initial drill results which intersected the orebody where predicted. Given the proven resource and grade continuity, together with the abundance of visible gold is extremely encouraging and further strengthens management’s belief that the in-pit reserve can be positively upgraded ahead of first gold pour in Q2 2021.”Ongoing Drilling ProgramsThese initial infill in-pit drill results form part of a wider drilling campaign which includes: * Infill in-pit resource conversion * Down dip resource exploration * Satellite RC exploration The infill in-pit program, part of a resource category upgrade programme, is ongoing and consists of a series of holes, including SGD202 and SGD208 targeting areas of the resource which had previously been estimated (Figures 2 and 3) and classified as Inferred Resources. SGD202 targeted the near-surface extensions towards the northern parts of the design pit whilst SGD208 was designed to test the deeper extensions of the resource in the central parts of the resource.Thor management believes that the additional data collected since the completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study on February 4 2019 (reported below) will have a potentially significant positive impact on the project economics.The abundance of visible particulate gold at depth is also considered to be encouraging and further supports the high recovery character of the mineralisation in the deeper parts of the design pit.HOLE- IDEastingNorthingElevationLength (m)From (m)To (m)Interval (m)Grade (g/tAu)True Width (m) SGD20070177483129130955.631.039.08.01.105.9 46.448.01.64.411.4 50.751.20.51.720.4 SGD2027019648321343455021.324.02.77.702.1 SGD203701871832071345152.3129.3129.80.53.680.4 SGD204701874832030345136.7110.4112.01.62.291.4 SGD208701746831329333131.4105.4120.315.07.0010 includes105.4111.05.69.203.2 and116.0120.34.312.102.9 Table 1: Significant results (0.5g/tAu lower cut off)Figure 2 is available at: https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/be338c46-fe7e-43a0-b59a-e0d6d09b542dFigure 3 is available at: https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/3e14e7d7-f11a-4af8-8ec5-e19b342457f9The additional results from the other drilling in the campaign are expected to be received and released during the coming weeks.Definitive Feasibility Study ResourceThe Segilola open pit mineral resource comprises 441,000 ounces Au at 4.5g/tAu indicated and 73,000 ounces at 6.8g/tAu inferred. Based on a probable reserve of 405,000ounces Au at 4.20g/tAu the current project open pit DFS shows a post-tax NPV5% $138m, a 50% IRR and a payback in under 1.4 years.
