The Directors of Thor Mining PLC ("Thor" or the "Company") (AIM, ASX: THR, THRO), the exploration company focussed on gold and base metal projects and advancing tungsten-molybdenum projects in Australia are pleased to announce that they have raised £410,000 (approximately A$612,000) by way of a placing of 30,597,018 new Ordinary Shares of 0.3p each in the capital of the Company (the "Placing") to UK sophisticated clients of Simple Investments at 1.34p.

The Placing is conditional on the 30,597,018 new Ordinary Shares of 0.3p each in the capital of the Company (the "Placing Shares") being admitted to trading on AIM.

An application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares, which will rank pari passu with the Company's existing issued Ordinary Shares, to be admitted to trading and dealings are expected to commence at 8:00 a.m. (BST) on Friday 5 August 2011.

Following the issue of the Placing Shares the Company's total issued share capital will be 601,512,950 Ordinary Shares of 0.3p each. In accordance with the Financial Services Authority Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the Company has 601,512,950 Ordinary Shares of 0.3p each in issue, each share carrying the right to one vote. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury.

The above figure of 601,512,950 Ordinary Shares may be used by Shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Service Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Commenting today, Mick Billing, Executive Chairman of Thor Mining said:

"We are delighted to have received the ongoing support of investors helping to fund the aggressive exploration and evaluation programmes we have in our schedule.  The new capital will further fund exploration at the Dundas (WA) and Spring Hill (NT) gold projects, and also the Molyhil Tungsten/Molybdenum Project (NT), where drilling and an update to the 2007 feasibility study are both in progress."
