Weighed from the statements on this page — management's pitch and the outside view. Not financial advice, and not our opinion of the company.

▲ Bull case

Management says Thor has a 10-year mine life with a much larger resource than Nigeria operations, grading 5.5 g/t underground, and operating costs below $1,000/oz AISC.

What it rests on
Evidence: 4 moments from 1 interview
Read the full case

Management says Thor has a 10-year mine life with a much larger resource than Nigeria operations, grading 5.5 g/t underground, and operating costs below $1,000/oz AISC. With the bankable feasibility study showing $250–$300M capex and gold now at $2,600/oz versus the $1,600/oz assumption used in that study, management claims material upside. An additional 5 g/t satellite deposit and 44,000 oz stockpile provide near-term production while exploring 8 km of 10–17 g/t targets alongside the main pit.

▼ Bear case

The company needs $250–$300M capex with only $150M from balance sheet and $100M sought from lenders—a $50M shortfall unresolved.

What it rests on
Evidence: 3 moments from 1 interview
Read the full case

The company needs $250–$300M capex with only $150M from balance sheet and $100M sought from lenders—a $50M shortfall unresolved. Management's June 2025 permitting target and Q1 2028 first pour rest entirely on a PFS "massive weeks away" that has not been publicly shared. No independent review or external financing commitment is on record, and West African jurisdictional risk (Nigeria, Senegal, Mali) is not addressed in available claims.

Evidence: 4 moments from 1 interview
Read the full case

PFS delivery and feasibility study publication (imminently due). Updated resource estimate targeted for Q1. Long lead item ordering in Q1/Q2 2025. Full permitting by end of June 2025. Gold production run rate of 90–95,000 oz/year and quarterly ounce tracking toward cash generation to fund capex.

Each moment links to the exact point in the source recording. The cases are drawn from the transcripts, weighed as written — they are not a rating, a target or a recommendation.

Project 8 statements

The deposit 7

Key takeaway. Management describes the deposit as a high-grade door body, with underground grades averaging around about 5 and a half grams per ton and open-pit grades just over 4 g per ton.

Read the full summary

They report a stockpile currently over 44,000 ounces grading at 0.85 g per ton, and note a high-grade satellite deposit about 5 g per ton to be mined and stockpiled. On exploration upside, the company says it has delineated 8 km of drill targets on two structures with super high grade 10 gram 17 grams per ton. Their aim is to have a mine life round about that 10 year mark, and they state the resource is much bigger than Nigeria.

How to read this page

What is here

Statements made by company representatives in the interviews listed above — each one carrying the words that made it, the date, and the recording. Nothing is added from any other source: if it was not said on a recording, it is not on this page. The one exception lives in the Claims & Checks record, which cites a metal price from our own feed so a stated cost can be set against it — and labels it as ours wherever it appears.

What is not verified

All of it. Resource figures, economics, timelines and promotional framing are management's own representations, checked against no filing and no technical report. Transcripts are automatic; we repair a clearly mis-heard word but never a number, a date, a unit or a speaker's hedge — “about 8.6 million ounces” keeps its “about”.

How to use it

Treat it as a map of what has been said, not as a source of fact. Where a figure matters to you, open the recording and read the company's filings. Nothing here is financial advice, a recommendation, or an offer to buy or sell any security — these are interested parties discussing their own company.
