This is expected to advance both projects materially, as well as giving Thor an increased runway to develop its ongoing discussions regarding securing project finance for Molyhil, about which we look forward to updating investors in due course.,”
“We are deeply disappointed with the performance of Thor and have maintained our pro-rata holding in order to protect our investment.
