Thor Mining PLC (AIM:THR, OTC:THORF, ASX:THR) has commenced a new round of drilling the 100%-owned Kelly's prospect within the Ragged Range project in Eastern Pilbara, Western Australia.
The 2,000 metre reverse circulation is designed to follow up on rock chip samples that returned up to 15.5 grammes per tonne gold and 535 grammes silver, and a historic drill intercept of 1.5 metres at 22.97 grammes gold.
Drilling is targeting the sheared contact of the Euro basalts and Boobina porphyry that forms a silicified ridge extending over a kilometre at Ragged Range.
The program also includes drillholes beneath high-grade historic copper workings.
"We are very pleased to report that a 2,000m drilling program is now underway at the Kelly's prospect at Ragged Range,” said Nicole Galloway Warland, managing director of Thor Mining.
“Meanwhile, in the US, the maiden 2,000m drilling program at priority targets across the Wedding Bell and Radium Mountain projects is progressing well.
"We look forward to providing further updates in due course."
