Currently, Thor Mining PLC is holding rights to a 60 percent interest in Environmental Copper Recovery Pty Ltd for a consideration of A$1.8 million in project funding.
As per the terms of Memorandum of Understanding, Thor Mining will relinquish its interest in ECR and acquire a 25% interest in Enviro Copper for total funding of A$0.6 million, and it will hold the right to acquire a further 5 percent seed capital interest in Enviro Copper Limited for consideration of an additional A$0.4 million.
