Dear Shareholder

On 17 May 2016 the Company announced the placement of a total of 1,200,000,000 Shares with 1,200,000,000 Warrants attached, to placees identified by SI Capital Ltd, to raise a total of £300,000 before expenses (the "Placement"). On 1 June 2016 the Company issued and allotted the first tranche of those securities, comprising 336,000,000 Shares with 336,000,000 Warrants ("Tranche 1 Securities"). The issue and allotment of the remaining 864,000,000 Shares and 864,000,000 Warrants ("Tranche 2 Securities") is subject to obtaining Shareholder approval for the purposes, inter alia, of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolutions 1 and 2 provide the directors with the necessary authorities to issue equity securities and dis- apply pre-emption rights up to an aggregate nominal amount of £400,000. Resolutions 3 and 4 are sought for the purposes of the ASX listing rules for the issue of Warrants and/or Shares. Further information is provided in the explanatory notes to the notice.
The directors of Thor believe that these proposals are in the best interest of the Company and recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions at the General Meeting, as they intend to do in respect of their own holdings of 553,118,118 Shares representing 11.4 per cent of the Company's issued share capital.
Yours faithfully
