Shown to the right is a color image of the Expert Geophysics MT airborne resistivity 1,250m elevation slice with the warm colors being resistive features, and the cooler colors being regions of higher conductivity. The epithermal deposit (shown in red) is aligned parallel to the NW-trending porphyry trend. The older structural trend is shown by the Silver Cup Anticline trend which is oriented NW. Note how the north and south conductive tusks originate off the side of the buried magnetic and resistive feature ("Elephant") and are deflected into the Silver Cup Anticline trend away from the elephant. This graphically shows that the hydrothermal conduits that formed the Thor epithermal deposit originated from the intrusive/hornfels feature to the east. Want to learn more?

Taranis Resources is a mineral exploration company that is focused on development of its Thor precious/base metals resource near Trout Lake, British Columbia in addition to precious metal exploration activities in Nevada. Taranis is led by a hands-on, accomplished leadership team with over 100 years of collective experience in the mining and exploration sector.
Our exploration team identified two exploration targets at Thor after adopting a geological model known as the linked epithermal-porphyry model.
One Target was at the north end of the epithermal deposit, and the second was below the epithermal deposit. In 2021, we drill tested for a north extension to the epithermal deposit and discovered the Thunder Zone.
In May 2022, we completed an important airborne mag, VLF and MT survey over the property and outlined an intrusive that we know is mineralized based on several prior drill holes that intersected mineralization within intrusive rocks (Thor-193). Other prior holes drilled testing the epithermal deposit at Thor intersected the hallmark argillic alteration commonly found around the edges of porphyry deposits. In addition, we have also identified two large conductive features (Western Deeps and Thunder North) that we believe have the potential to host large disseminated precious and base metal deposits.

In 2022, Taranis plans on commencing the site construction for the 10,000 tonne Bulk Sample that will provide data to complete a Pre-Feasibility study of the Thor deposit. This Bulk Sample will collect valuable information related to metallurgy, grade and 'companion metals' that will further help characterize the Thor deposit. Taranis has provided a brief outline of the Bulk Sample in the presentation to the right.
Taranis has adopted a 'linked epithermal-porphyry' model for the Thor deposit. This model suggests that the Thor epithermal deposit is most likely related to a large mineralized porphyry deposit similar to the world-class Lepanto deposit located in Luzon, Philippines. There are at least ten exploration indicators that suggest a mineralized poprhyry body underlies the epithermal deposit at Thor, and some of these are outlined in the presentation in the link to the right. |
