Oslo, 30 August 2024: Thor Medical ASA, a leading emerging supplier of
alpha-emitters for next-generation precision cancer treatment, today announced
results for the first half of 2024. The pilot facilities at Herøya Industrial
Park are progressing as planned and the company has started a concept study for
a 'fast-track' plant with the ambition to bring commercial product volumes to
market as soon as possible.
"Thor Medical has progressed the new pilot facilities at Herøya on time and
cost, and we look forward to supplying our customers in the radiotherapeutics
market with quality product samples towards the end of the year. We see a
significant shift in clinical development toward targeted alpha therapies with
lead-212 and radium-224 isotopes. Our existing and prospective customers are
addressing large groups of cancer patients with a huge unmet therapeutic need
and are outlining a large potential demand for thorium-228, radium-224 and
lead-212 as radioactive compounds. We strongly believe that our technology can
be their foundation and that Thor Medical is able to ramp and scale up
production in close synchronization with our customers' clinical development and
commercial launch activities", says CEO Jasper Kurth.

* Pilot facilities at Herøya progressing on time and cost with completion
targeted by end of Q3 2024 and delivery of customer samples by the end of the

fastest-growing cancer treatment options, with thorium-derived radioisotopes
showing the greatest potential.
