“The company has received indicative offers and has entered into an exclusivity arrangement with a selected party that has commenced due diligence and preparation of final agreement documentation,” the board said in its statement.

“Unfortunately aspects of the due diligence process, in particular a site visit, have been delayed due to Covid-19 travel restrictions.

“Suitable alternative arrangements have now been made, and Thor has extended the timeframe for due diligence completion to 30 April.”

Thor said the agreement with the selected party prevented the release of the terms of the agreement or the identity of the party until final agreement execution, however it said it expected to be in a position to advise further towards the end of April.
