The directors of Thor Mining Plc announced that drilling has commenced at the Kapunda Copper ISR Project in South Australia. EnviroCopper Ltd. ("EnviroCopper") (in which Thor holds a 30% equity interest), in collaboration with MinEx CRC, is undertaking an innovative Coiled Tube ("CT") drilling program at Kapunda. MinEx CRC is the world's largest mineral exploration collaboration, bringing together mining industry (including drilling companies), government and research organisations. The drilling is designed to trial technological advancements using a safer, environmentally friendly mining technology with a low footprint. Drilling is targeting copper-gold mineralisation approximately 30m from the planned in-situ recovery ("ISR") push/pull test site to the south of Kapunda township. A geophysics IP anomaly was also identified in this area by Copper Range Ltd. in 2008. The drilling program is anticipated to take approximately 4 weeks. EnviroCopper is an affiliate of the $10M MinEx CRC program and currently has the CT drilling rig on site at Kapunda. The drill program will supply geological information to EnviroCopper whilst testing various aspects of the rig and the solid handling system. Copper Range Ltd. in November 2008, drilled two reverse circulation ("RC") drill holes (SK001 and SK002) into an IP anomaly,  with SK002 intersecting 22m @ 0.6% Cu (4-26m) including 4m @ 2.4% (4-8m) (Open File Envelope ENV11691). The CT rig aims to validate this mineralisation, in addition to gaining geological information on the copper mineral species. Kapunda MinEX CRC Coil Tube Drilling: MinEx CRC is the world's largest mineral exploration collaboration bringing together industry, government and research organizations with a total of $220 million funding. Coiled Tubing drilling offers the potential for rapid, safe, energy and water-efficient drilling at a fraction of the cost of conventional techniques. MinEx CRC is building on the RoXplorer® CT technology developed by DET CRC and deployed to field trials in Nevada in 2018. The Nevada trials confirmed the potential of CT drilling but showed that there could be improvements to fluid management, streamline sampling procedures and reduce the footprint of drill sites. The Kapunda drilling trial represents the next generation of CT drilling, with these improvements being added to the platform.
