Placing of Shares
Thor Mining PLC ("Thor" or "the Company") (AIM, ASX: THR) the
Australian tungsten, and gold explorer and developer, is pleased to
announce it has, through its broker SI Capital Limited,
conditionally placed a further 144,900,000 ordinary shares at a
price of 0.25p per share to raise GBP362,250 before expenses. This
placing of ordinary shares is in addition to the conditional
placing of 148,888,887 Ordinary Shares at a price of 0.225p per
share announced on 13 August 2013. Funds raised through the
additional placing will be used by the Company to develop its
assets as well as to provide general working capital.
As explained on 13 August 2013, the ordinary shares of the
Company have a nominal value of 0.3p per share and, under the UK
Companies Act 2006, the Company is unable to issue ordinary shares
below their nominal value. Accordingly, the Company has convened a
general meeting, which will take place on 3 September 2013 to,
among other things, reorganise its share capital and in doing so
reduce the nominal value of its ordinary shares. This will be
achieved by converting each ordinary share of 0.3p into one
ordinary share of 0.01p and one deferred share of 0.29p. The
deferred shares will effectively have no value.
Completion of both placings is dependent on the Company's
shareholders passing the resolutions necessary to effect the
required reorganisation and reduction in the nominal value of the
Company's shares at the general meeting.
Subject to passing of the resolutions by Thor shareholders,
application will be made for the admission to trading on AIM of the
293,788,887 new ordinary shares of 0.01p being issued pursuant to
the two placings described above, along with the existing ordinary
shares, of which there are currently 982,870,766, redenominated as
ordinary shares of 0.01p. Admission of the first tranche of
148,888,887 placing shares and the redenominated existing ordinary
shares is expected to take place on 5(th) September 2013, while
admission of the second tranche of 144,900,000 shares is expected
to be on 10(th) September 2013.
The second tranche of 144,900,000 shares will be issued within
the Company's placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
(subject to satisfying the conditions to use of that rule) and/or
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and without shareholder approval.
The Thor directors believe that both placings are in the best
interests of the Company and will be recommending that shareholders
vote in favour of the resolutions at the general meeting, as they
intend to do in respect of their own holdings of 53,037,036 shares
representing 5.4 per cent of the Company's issued share
capital.
Commenting, Mr Mick Billing, Executive Chairman of Thor Mining,
said: "This continued support is very welcome. We can now
confidently schedule additional work in both our tungsten and gold
projects where we believe there is potential to add considerable
value"
