Thor Mining PLC ("the Company" or "Thor"), AIM, ASX: "THR" the specialist metals
company focused on advancing tungsten-molybdenum and uranium projects in the
Northern Territory of Australia, today announces an update regarding its
enquiries into shareholdings and the beneficial ownership of such shares as a
result of transactions entered into between Opes Prime and its customers.
Following the information received from Mr Salvatore Algeri, Receiver and
Manager on behalf of Opes Prime on 3 April 2008, the Company requested the
Receiver to confirm the percentage of Opes Prime's voting rights, held through
direct or indirect holdings of financial instruments falling within the

the Company's ordinary shares and warrants.
