Mick Billing, Executive Chairman of Thor Mining, commented: “The Bonya tungsten deposits are delivering robust results which, we believe can add significantly to the economic life and commercial outcomes of the nearby proposed Molyhil project.” “The Bonya project hosts additional tungsten and copper deposits, and these will be tested in due course, however our initial focus is likely to remain with the White Violet tungsten deposit, the Samarkand tungsten/copper deposit, and the Bonya copper deposit. It is hoped that these can extend the Molyhil project life of mine towards 10 years.”
