Up to 3.8% copper and\n12.1% zinc make it among the highest-grade intercepts found at Thor.\nTaranis has posted some of the pictures of this mineralization on its\nwebsite at\n \n \n www.taranisresources.com\n \n \n . In\ncontrast to typical vein-hosted epithermal-type mineralization at\nThor, the hole also hosts widespread low-grade mineralization which is\nbelieved to the source of an airborne magnetotelluric anomaly that\ntrends east-west. There are also numerous volcanic dykes in the drill\nhole which indicate it may have a connection to a previously\nidentified intrusive target called Jumbo.\n \n \n The Thor-231 intercept connects with previous intercepts in the\nThunder Zone on the south side of Thor’s Ridge and has now outlined\na previously unknown part of the deposit that is 350m in length.\nDrilling conditions in this area is extremely difficult owing to the\npresence of the rockslide, and the success rate of drilling into\nbedrock is less than 50%.\n \n \n \n Thor-231 (-90\n \n 0\n \n )\n \n \n \n Thor-231 was drilled near the top of Thor’s Ridge uphill from the\n2021 and 2022 drill holes that intersected the Thunder Zone. Six\nmeters below the base of the rockslide, the Thor-231 intersected a\nwide zone of low-grade mineralization within black carbonaceous schist\nwith volcanic/dyke intercalations, 6% fine-grained pyrite and 20%\nquartz veining.
