Thor NI 43-101 Compliant Resource Estimate (2014)

2007-2008 saw a portion of the Thor Deposit systematically drilled. There is much remaining material to be drilled-out!

Taranis acquired the Thor deposit in 2006, and undertook significant drilling programs in 2007 and 2008. Further drilling was undertaken in 2014, and in total over 200 drill holes have been completed on the project.

Taranis decided to complete an independent Resource estimate in 2013 on the drilling data that was collected in 2007/08. This required the extensive collection of core to be re-analyzed and check assaying to be completed on 10% of the samples. This work culminated in a three-dimensional model of the deposit being produced that showed most of the mineralization is accessible by low cost, open pit mining.

In addition to the NI 43-101 compliant Resource Estimate, Taranis engaged Roscoe Postle in 2014 to undertake an internal Cash Flow Analyses of the deposit using a nearby milling operation. This showed the deposit has considerable promise to be economically viable.

Roscoe Postle NI 43-101 compliant Resource - It is only the start!

In 2013, Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. completed the first ever Resource Estimate on the Thor deposit.

RPA Resource Estimate (2013)

2016 is expected to take Thor beyond the 2.5 Mt. threshold.

In 2016, Taranis plans to drill seven areas of known mineralization that is expected to add significant growth to the deposit, and expand it beyond the 2.5 Mt level.
