[{"type":"text","content":"Taranis Drills 426.6 g/t AgEq over 7.22m in Area Connecting Great Northern & True Fissure Zones(via Thenewswire.ca)\n \n \nLakewood, Colorado / TheNewswire / October 25, 2016 - Taranis Resources Inc. (\"Taranis\") [TSX.V: TRO] is pleased to announce further results from its 2016 drilling program at its Thor project in southeast British Columbia. Drill holes Thor-169, 170 and 180 were completed along a 100 m strike length in an area where the True Fissure and Great Northern Zones are connected, and were completed in an attempt to better understand how these two portions of the Thor deposit are related geometrically. Based on the results, it appears that the Great Northern and True Fissure Zones are \"en-echelon\". This area has seen no previous drilling, and the mineralization encountered is very close to surface. All holes were drilled normal to the strike and dip of the zones and approximate the true thickness.\n\n \n \nDrill Hole Thor-169\n\n \n \nThor-169 was drilled at an angle of -450 and 40m north of drill hole Thor-49 (completed in 2008) that intersected 362.7 g/t AgEq over 1.68m. The wide intercept encountered in drill Hole Thor-169 demonstrates that the zone of mineralization in this area is prone to pinching and swelling, probably due to tight isoclinal folds that plunge shallowly to the northwest.\n\n \n\nHole No. & Zone\n\n\n\n\nFrom (m)\n\n\n\n\nTo (m)\n\n\n\n\nInterval (m)\n\n\n\n\nSilver (g/t)\n\n\n\n\nGold (g/t)\n\n\n\n\nCu (%)\n\n\n\n\nLead (%)\n\n\n\n\nZinc (%)\n\n\n\n\nSilver Equivalent (g/t)\n\n\n\n\nThor-169 GN\n\n\n\n\n36.58\n\n\n\n\n43.80\n\n\n\n\n7.22\n\n\n\n\n156.1\n\n\n\n\n0.88\n\n\n\n\n0.09\n\n\n\n\n4.10\n\n\n\n\n2.39\n\n\n\n\n426.6\n\n\n \n \nDrill Hole Thor-180\n\n \n \nDrill Hole Thor-180 (-450) was drilled 54 m northwest of drill hole Thor-169 and intersected a single zone of mineralization.
