The survey is designed to detect any conductive anomalies at depth that may indicate the presence of nickel sulphide mineralisation. The survey is anticipated to take one week to complete.\n \n \n · \n Gold: final preparations are in place to commence the second phase of RC drilling at the Sterling Gold Prospect.\n \n \n \n \n \n Nicole Galloway Warland, Managing Director of Thor Mining, commented:\n \n \n \"Thor is pleased to have the team back on the ground for the 2022 field season, at our 100% owned Ragged Range Project.
