[{"type":"text","content":"Thor Explorations Announces Drilling Results and Update on the Douta Gold Project, SenegalVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 24, 2025) - Thor Explorations Ltd. (TSXV: THX) (AIM: THX) (\"Thor\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce it has drilled two discovery holes in its Douta-West licence. The Douta-West Licence lies contiguous to the west of the original Douta licence, which together, constitute the Douta Gold Project, Senegal (the \"Douta Project\"). The Douta Gold Project encompasses the Makosa gold deposit which currently comprises a total resource of approximately 1.78 million ounces (\"Moz\") of gold (\"Au\") that consists of an Indicated Resource of 20.2 million tonnes (\"Mt\") grading 1.3 grammes per tonne (\"g/t\") Au for 874,900 ounces of gold (\"oz Au\") together with an Inferred Resource of 24.1 Mt grading 1.2 g/t Au for 909,400 oz Au.The Company is pleased to announce the first set of drilling results from its 2025 regional exploration drilling program at the Baraka 3 Prospect on the Douta-West Licence. The Baraka 3 Prospect is a 1 kilometre (\"km\") long drill target delineated by the Company in 2024 through geological mapping, together with geochemical surveys and rock chip sampling. The two discovery drill holes were drilled one hundred metres apart in two adjacent drill sections. The remaining strike length will be drilled as part of an ongoing drilling program. Geochemical anomalies along this geological trend extend for approximately 3km.The assay results from the two discovery drill holes include: Drillhole DTWRC129 - 19 metres (\"m\") at 2.46g/t Au from 29m Drillhole DTWRC134 - 26m at 1.31 g/t Au from 21mIn addition, the results have been received from a series of diamond drillholes that have been completed along the strike length from Makosa North to Makosa Tail deposits to test for depth extensions and to upgrade the classification towards the lower parts of the resource.The assay results from this drilling program include the following highlights:Drillhole DTDD0039 - 9m at 1.35g/t Au from 110m, and9m at 2.06g/t Au from 127mDrillhole DTDD1040 - 3m at 5.3 g/t Au from 131mDrillhole DTDD1038 - 8m at 1.31g/t Au from 197mDrillhole DTRC0036 - 4m at 2.44g/t Au from 203m, and6m at 1.71g/tAu from 220mSegun Lawson, President & CEO, stated:\"We are thrilled to drill our first discovery ho...
