Executive Summary

  • Thor Explorations announced additional high‑grade drill intercepts from its maiden RC program at the Guitry gold project in Côte d’Ivoire.
  • Notable intersections include 8 m @ 14.54 g/t Au (hole GURC25-232), 4 m @ 10.68 g/t Au (hole GURC25-234) and 7 m @ 5.31 g/t Au (hole GURC25-212).
  • The company plans further infill/step‑out drilling later this quarter to advance toward a maiden resource estimate before year‑end.

Key Details

  • Program scope: ~3,000 m of reverse‑circulation drilling completed in May–June 2025 across the Guitry project (100 % owned).
  • Drill hole results:
  • GURC25-232 – 8 m @ 14.54 g/t Au from 114 m depth.
  • GURC25-234 – 4 m @ 10.68 g/t Au from 81 m depth.
  • GURC25-212 – 7 m @ 5.31 g/t Au from 155 m depth.
  • Additional historic high‑grade hits: 7 m @ 7.71 g/t Au (GURC25-227) and 5 m @ 12.65 g/t Au (GURC25-228).
  • Near‑surface lateritic mineralization: 17 m @ 2.16 g/t Au (hole GURC25-229).
  • Geology: Drilling targeted a northeast‑striking greenstone belt; holes oriented azimuth 225°, dip 55°. Primary gold occurs in steeply north‑dipping zones beneath ~30 m of laterite.
  • QA/QC: Samples analysed by SGS (Yamoussoukro) using FAA505 fire assay; QA/QC protocols followed.
  • Next steps:
  • Systematic resource drilling (infill & step‑out) at Krakouadiokro prospect.
  • Additional drilling of untested geochemical anomalies at Krakouadiokro and Gbaloukro.
  • Generative geochemical surveys along ~10 km of prospective strike.
  • Acquisition background: Guitry was acquired in 2025 for $100,000 cash plus a 2 % NSR from Endeavour Mining Corp.

Notable Quotes

“We are extremely pleased to report further positive drilling results… mineralization remains open at depth and there remains a significant amount of soil anomalism in the licence that remains untested.” – Segun Lawson, President & CEO
