Thor Explorations Provides an Update on the Filing of Q1 2020 Unaudited Financial Statements

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

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Thor Explorations Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: THX) (“Thor” or the “Company”) announces that as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic it will be relying on the coordinated relief provided by the securities regulators for an extension to the deadline for certain periodic filings. The Canadian Securities Administrators granted blanket relief for all market participants, providing up to a 45-day extension for periodic filings normally required to be made on or before June 1, 2020.

In accordance with the blanket relief, the Company will delay the filing of its unaudited annual financial statements for the quarter ended Mar. 31, 2020, the management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the corresponding period, and related management certifications of quarterly filings.

The company intends to file these documents prior to mid-August under the terms of the 45-day extension announced by the B.C. Securities Commission under BCI 51-515, dated March 23, 2020.

Until such time as the filings are made, Thor’s management and other insiders are subject to a trading blackout that reflects the principles contained in Section 9 of National Policy 11-207 -- Failure to File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions.

Other than as disclosed in the company's press releases, there have not been any material business developments since the date on which the company filed its interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine-month periods ended Sept. 30, 2019.
