(\"Taranis\" or the \"Company) [TSX.V: TRO] is pleased to update activity related to its 100%-owned Thor project.\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \nGold Concentrate Upgrading from Gold Pilot Plant\n\n \n \nMet-Solve Laboratories Inc. has provided the final results of its metallurgical test work of the Super Concentrates and Concentrate products from the 2017 Gold Pilot plant. Work consisted of processing the field concentrates and upgrading them through a variety of methods including sieving, re-tabling and magnetic separation. The products obtained during the analysis were assayed and the gold recovered, and this enabled a mass calculation to be completed that summarizes the overall grade of the products and the recoveries. The mass balance sheets are posted at www.taranisresources.com\n\n \n \nThe following table summarizes the results of the Gold Mass Balance on the Super Concentrates and Concentrate products derived from the Mt. Baker processing plant in the summer of 2017.
