THOR MINING PLC

Trading Halt on the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX")

Dated: 13 September 2012

Thor Mining Plc ("Thor" or "the Company") (AIM, ASX: THR) wishes to announce that its shares have been placed in a trading halt on the ASX, pending the release of an announcement in respect of preliminary assays from drilling at the Spring Hill Gold Project in the Northern Territory.

The Company requested the ASX trading halt pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 17.1 in response to market speculation about the Spring Hill Gold drilling results. A number of assays have been received from some of the holes drilled, however the complete set and the necessary interpretation is not yet available. The directors believe that the information to be released has limited share price sensitivity.

The announcement of the drilling results will be released to the market prior to the commencement of trading on the ASX on Monday 17th September, upon which the ASX trading halt will cease.

Trading of shares in the Company on the AIM market will continue during this period.
