A statement issued by Mr. Olayinka Oyebode, the Special Assistant on Media to the Minister of Mines and Steel Development, on Thursday, said the company was selected as the most promising of the 22 junior mining firms that to part in the battlefield competition.
According to Oyebode, Thor Exploration beat Algold Resources, a Mauritanian gold explorer and developing company, to the second position.
