Thomson Resources Ltd (ASX: TMZ) is an Australian-based exploration company focussed on the discovery and development of high quality mineral deposits within the Thomson Fold Belt of northern NSW.  Thomson Resources was incorporated on 17 July 2009 with the initial shareholders being exploration companies Minotaur Exploration Ltd (ASX:MEP) and Platsearch NL (ASX:PTS).  
 
All TMZ exploration tenements lie within the Thomson Fold Belt, a region of deformed and intruded sediments and volcanics thought to be the under-cover, unexplored northern extension of one of Australia’s premier metalliferous mining districts, the Lachlan Fold Belt.  The belt has excellent exploration potential for large, high grade metal deposits, particularly Cobar-type (copper, gold, lead, zinc, silver).
 
In 2010, TMZ signed joint venture agreements with Compass Resources over a further 15 tenements in the Thomson Fold Belt and adjacent Lachlan Fold Belt.  This gives TMZ a dominant position in a new mineral belt which has had minimal, but very encouraging, exploration so far.
