The\ntopography at Thor exposes a vertical cross-section through an\nepithermal deposit from 2,000 m to 1,400 m above sea level (“ASL”)\nincluding the underlying hydrothermal ‘plumbing’ system\nresponsible for the epithermal deposit. Taranis believes that the\nexisting Ag-Au-Zn-Pb-Cu (Sb, In) deposit is underlain by an intrusive\nbody, including a documented hornfels (contact metamorphic aureole)\ndiscovered in 2022 that is visibly mineralized with chalcopyrite.
