Resource round-up: Thor Mining, ECR Minerals, Jupiter Energy

Also covered by this round-up: Sylvania Platinum, Nighthawk Energy, Caspian Holdings

Thor Mining has said that the deasibility study for the Molyhil tungsten and molybdenum project in Australia's Northern Territory is progressing but there 'remains a substantial amount of due process and procedural work to be completed'. The report is consequently now not due before June 2012.

ECR Minerals has confirmed the extension of the high grade gold mineralisation at the El Abra prospect within the Company's Sierra de las Minas gold project area in Argentina. The best intersection is 3.0m grading at 21.5g per tonne gold. The drilling is ongoing with further analysis scheduled. "We are very encouraged by these results, which demonstrate that gold mineralisation does continue to depth at the El Abra prospect and that this mineralisation is of high grade in at least one area," the firm said.
