14.3.2024 08:17:16 CET | Thor Medical ASA | Additional regulated information required to be disclosed under the laws of a member state
Thor Medical ASA has been awarded to receive as grant NOK 6 million from Innovation Norway related to the establishment of a class-B laboratory and pilot plant for production of high-purity Thorium-228 alpha-emitters at Herøya Industripark.
The facilities are already under construction for commissioning in the second half of the year. The pilot plant will enable Thor Medical to verify products and proprietary processes and to produce customer samples for qualification.
“We are very pleased to receive this grant as it will enable us to accelerate our industrial development at Herøya, and take it as sign of recognition from Innovation Norway to our ambition and business plan to become a leading supplier of alpha emitters for cancer therapy”, says Alf Bjørseth, CEO of Thor Medical ASA.  
Upon customer qualification Thor Medical expects to convert current LOIs for future offtake agreements into firm supply contracts, which in turn will contribute to enabling the company to make an investment decision for its first industrial-scale manufacturing facility for Thorium-228 next year.
