Western Deeps

Deep EM-37 Targets that lie along the west flank of the Thor Anticline

In 2008, Taranis conducted deep penetrating EM-37 surveys on the property in order to identify large conductive features that were potentially buried at depth. Several hundred m to the west of the Great Northern Zone, Quantec was able to identify four anomalies that were enigmatic at the time, but in light of mapping work that was undertaken in 2012, appear to be a deeply buried sulfide zone along the west limb of the Thor Anticline.

There is additional evidence to suggest that this is a deeply buried sulfide target apart from the estimated depths to the top of the conductors, and this includes a deep magnetic anomaly that strikes parallel to the conductor and likely represents a tuffaceous volcanic member that accompanies sulfide mineralization at Thor.

Several deep holes are planned to test the feature, and if successful would enhance the tonnage potential at Thor substantially. The target is giving a high probability of success, since it is rare to find any EM-37 anomaly at Thor that does not occur in close contact to sulfide mineralization!

The Western Deeps target lies in the Broadview Basin (shown in the above drone photograph) and is covered by extensive alluvial cover. The target lies in the upper right corner of the photo.
