Thor Energy PLC ("Thor") (AIM, ASX: THR, OTCQB: THORF) is pleased to report on its activities for the Quarterly period January to March 2025.
Andrew Hume - Managing Director, Thor Energy Plc, commented:
"With the acquisition of Go Exploration Pty Ltd completed, our focus shifted to working with sector consultancy group, RISC Advisory, to finalise an assessment of prospective resources for natural hydrogen and helium at our newly renamed HY-Range Project, which comprises RSEL802 (previously PEL120), a granted licence in South Australia. The results of this assessment have already exceeded our expectations and have prompted the Board to seek to fast-track passive on-ground exploration activities in advance of final drill target design. I am delighted to lead these future exploration efforts, and we look forward to a busy quarter ahead."
HY-RANGE PROJECT - RSEL 802 (formerly PEL 120) SOUTH AUSTRALIAN NATURAL HYDROGEN AND HELIUM
On 16 February 2025 (Completion of the Acquisition of Go Exploration Pty Ltd), the Company announced legal and commercial completion of the acquisition of Go Exploration Pty Ltd ("GoX" or "Go Exploration") which holds PEL 120, one of only three granted hydrogen and helium exploration licences in the strategic South Australia hydrogen and helium fairway, adjacent to Adelaide, as well as several high potential application areas, the most advanced of which are PELAs 697 and 709 (Figure 1). Subsequently, on 13 March 2025, it was announced that the South Australian Government - Department of Energy and Mining had offered to convert PEL 120 to RSEL 802 ("Conversion of PEL 120 to Regulated Substance Exploration Licence"). The final approval for conversion to RSEL 802 was received from the Department of Energy and Mining on 27 March 2025, along with a three-month suspension and extension of the current work programme until 1 July 2025. The conversion to RSEL 802 confers full hydrogen and helium exploration rights across the licence (Figure 1).
On 4 December 2024 (Thor Commences Prospective Hydrogen Resource Assessment), Thor announced that it had engaged a leading energy advisory firm, RISC Advisory, to undertake the independent assessment of natural hydrogen and helium resources on certain target areas located on RSEL 802 (formerly PEL 120). On 30 March 2025 (Maiden Natural Hydrogen and Helium Prospective Resource), the results of this study (Figure 2) were released to shareholders, in which the prospective hydrogen and helium estimates were summarised. The significant prospective resources reiterated the potential of RSEL 802 (The Hy-Range Project) to host significant quantities of naturally occurring hydrogen and helium. The Board has resolved to fast-track on the ground passive exploration programmes in advance of final drill hole design later in the year.
