VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec. 5, 2016) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. WIRE SERVICES

Thor Explorations Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:THX) ("Thor" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing of a non-brokered private placement. Gross proceeds of $1,884,387.66 were raised pursuant to the private placement and the Company intends to use the gross proceeds to continue exploration and development activities on its Segilola Gold Project in Nigeria and working capital purposes. The exploration program includes a proposed 5,500m diamond drilling program to test the upside potential of the existing resource at depth and also to strengthen parts of the likely in-pit resource.

Under the terms of the private placement, the Company issued 12,995,776 common shares ("Common Shares") at a price of $0.145 per Common Share. The Company will pay $84,797.44 as finders' fees to third party finders. The Common Shares issued pursuant to the private placement are subject to a 4-month hold period in Canada expiring April 3, 2017.

Burkina Faso Update - Central Houndé Project, Acacia Mining Joint Venture

Thor is also pleased to announce the encouraging drill results from its Central Houndé Joint Venture with Acacia Mining.

Per Acacia Mining:

"As a result of these programs, we identified the Bongui - Legue Corridor, a 10km x 3km gold-in-soil anomaly with up to 5g/t gold measured in the soil sampling located in the Central Houndé Joint Venture in Burkina Faso. In late 2016, we commenced drill testing the prospect with positive initial results from the small section of the anomaly that we tested, with the best results below:

2.0m @ 28.2g/t from 155m
6.0m @ 3.74g/t from 99m
22.0m @ 1.15g/t from 18m
12.0m @ 1.40g/t from 48m
17.0m @ 1.11g/t from 158m

The initial programmes are highly encouraging and in 2017 we will undertake a 10,000 metre reverse circulation and diamond core programme to further assess several parts of this very large gold anomaly."

Segun Lawson commented:

"We are pleased to have closed this private placement and look forward to immediately advancing the Segilola Gold Project to its next major milestone. We are also extremely encouraged by the initial drill results of the Central Houndé Project, which continues to be advanced and funded by Acacia Mining until the declaration of a Pre-Feasibility Study."
