Update on Press Speculation
Thor Explorations Ltd. (TSXV / AIM:
THX) ("Thor Explorations" or the "Company") issues the following
statement, following further to its news release dated 30 September
2024, in response to additional press commentary.
On Monday 30th September,
the representatives of Osun State served a notice to Segilola
Resources Operating Limited ("SROL") from a state magistrates court
to seal the Segilola Mine site over unpaid outstanding taxes
amounting to N98,347,105 (approximately US$61,900). SROL has
now paid the full outstanding amount despite not being given the

Federal Ministry of Mines, the regulator of the sector to prevent
any such action from occurring again.
