THOR MINING PLC

("Thor" or the "Company")

Block Listing Application

Thor announces that application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for a Block Listing of securities in respect of 28,524,264 Ordinary Shares of 0.3p each ("Ordinary Shares") to be admitted to trading on AIM, with admission expected to take place on 10 July 2013.

These shares, which will rank pari passu in all respects with the Ordinary Shares already in issue, will be allotted from time to time pursuant to the exercise of the warrants which were granted to the security holders who participated in the recent open offer to shareholders, the result of which was announced on 29 April 2013.

The shares will not be allotted immediately but when issued pursuant to the exercise of the warrants.

The Company currently has 982,814,766 Ordinary Shares in issue with no Ordinary Shares held in treasury. The Company will notify on a monthly basis when there are changes to the issued share capital, and these monthly figures may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company.
