(“Taranis” or the “Company”)\n \n (\n \n TSXV:TRO\n \n )\n \n ,\n \n (\n \n OTC:TNREF\n \n )\n \n has launched\ndrilling and surface exploration campaigns on its 100%-owned\n“Thor” Silver-Zinc-Gold-Lead-Copper polymetallic project in\nsoutheastern British Columbia.\n \n \n Several holes have been planned to expand on the Thunder Zone\ndiscovery made in 2021. The Thunder Zone is the northwestern extension\nof the epithermal deposit, and remains open to further definition\ndrilling along strike. In addition to drilling the Thunder Zone,\nTaranis will conduct detailed geophysics and soil sampling around\nthree major conductivity trends established by the airborne\ngeophysical survey in preparation for permitting and drilling.\n \n \n The Company’s exploration strategy is twofold: to deepen the\ngeological understanding of the known epithermal Mineral Resource and\nincrease its size; furthermore, Taranis will conduct detailed\ninvestigations of the epithermal deposit’s underlying intrusive\nsource – including documenting alteration haloes, and peripheral\nconductivity trends - to generate new exploration targets. John\nGardiner, P.Geo. and CEO of Taranis states, “We suspect are working\nwith an intact linked epithermal-porphyry system at Thor. After\nsuccessfully confirming the epithermal model in 2021, we flew an\nairborne MobileMT survey over the project in May of 2022 that was\naimed at understanding a feature that was historically called the\n‘Intrusive Target’. The data from those surveys has reinforced the\ninterpretation that there is an intact porphyry source present below\nthe epithermal Mineral Resource. If this concept is borne out by\ndrilling, the ‘Elephant’ at Thor and the nearby Max molybdenum\ndeposit would be the easternmost cluster of porphyry bodies in British\nColumbia”\n \n \n \n Increasing Evidence for the Existence\nof an Intrusive Below the Epithermal Mineral Resource\n \n \n ...
