Thor Explorations (THX) shares climbed 4% to 73.95p following the announcement of positive final drilling results from its maiden campaign at the Guitry gold project in Côte d’Ivoire. The company reported significant gold intersections, including 6 meters at 9.63 grammes per tonne (g/t) gold from 89 meters, confirming mineralization remains open along strike and at depth. These results, which build on previous grades up to 12.65 g/t, suggest a steeply dipping, parallel lode array. CEO Segun Lawson noted the success in confirming previously untested deeper bedrock mineralization, validating the project's acquisition strategy. Thor plans to resume step-out and infill drilling post-rainy season to expand the potential resource inventory, alongside a permit-wide auger program. This strategy leverages Côte d’Ivoire's position as a leading West African gold region, hosting over 30% of the area's greenstone belts. The company also announced a maiden drilling campaign at its Marahui Permit, signaling broader growth initiatives within the region. The strongly positive sentiment (0.85) and the 4% share price increase reflect investor confidence in Thor's exploration strategy and the potential for world-class gold discoveries in this emerging market.
