Update on Press Speculation

 

Thor Explorations Ltd. (TSXV / AIM: THX) ("Thor Explorations" or the "Company") issues the following statement, following further to its news release dated 30 September 2024, in response to additional press commentary.

 

On Monday 30th September, the representatives of Osun State served a notice to Segilola Resources Operating Limited ("SROL") from a state magistrates court to seal the Segilola Mine site over unpaid outstanding taxes amounting to N98,347,105 (approximately US$61,900).  SROL has now paid the full outstanding amount despite not being given the stipulated 30 days to review. The Company is aware of other figures being quoted in various local news articles, which are all false and unsubstantiated.

 

There was no disruption to operations at Segilola which continued as normal and remain unaffected.

 

The Company is in dialogue with the Federal Ministry of Mines, the regulator of the sector to prevent any such action from occurring again.
