Mick Billing, Thor executive chairman, described the results as exciting.
“We have long suspected, from geophysical studies, that additional mineralised lodes exist at Desert Scheelite, and it is very rewarding to have this validated.
“This is a very strong target for drill testing along the entire strike length of the existing resource with potential, if successful, to add substantially to the resource inventory'
"Additionally, the high grade and near surface mineralisation at Good Hope transforms this into a deposit with genuine potential."
