THX Thor Explorations Ltd

Thor Explorations Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: THX) (“Thor” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary Segilola Resources Operating Limited (“SROL”) has completed the financial closing of the previously announced USD54 million project finance senior debt facility from the Africa Finance Corporation for the construction of the Segilola Gold Project in Nigeria.

Following the closing SROL received a disbursement of USD21.5 million, representing 40% of the facility.

The drawdown coincides with the arrival of the first shipments of equipment at Lagos port and the shipping of the SAG and Ball mills from China under the LSTK EPC contract with Norinco International.

The Company has a strong and proactive approach to health and safety and recently completed over 500,000 man hours with no lost time injuries.

Segun Lawson, President & CEO, stated: “Our longstanding relationship with our partners at the Africa Finance Corporation and Norinco International has enabled us to proceed with the Project on schedule throughout this difficult period. The drawdown of the senior debt facility is an important milestone in the construction schedule which is on-track to pour first gold in Q2 2021. Exploration work is also ongoing around Segilola and at our Douta Project in Senegal and we expect the next set of drill results shortly.”
