(“Taranis” or the “Company”)\n \n (\n \n TSXV:TRO\n \n )\n \n ,\n \n (\n \n OTC:TNREF\n \n )\n \n is providing an\nexploration update on its 100%-owned Thor precious-base metal deposit\nlocated near Trout Lake, British Columbia. Taranis has now received\nall its fall 2021 drill core analytical results from Bureau Veritas\nCommodities Canada Ltd. (“Bureau Veritas”) in Vancouver, British\nColumbia and has posted a map that outlines the important features on\nits website at\n \n \n www.taranisresources.com\n \n \n \n \n \n Overview\n \n \n \n \n In 2021, Taranis announced the discovery of a new zone\n(Thunder Zone) on the north end of the existing Thor Resource located\nunder a rockslide approximately 50 m in thickness. This new vein is\nlocated approximately 100 m above the Blue Bell Zone, which has been\nextensively drilled and is exposed in underground workings. The most\nnortherly hole is Thor-220 and has been previously reported in a\nTaranis News Release (October 25, 2021). Subsequent to the completion\nof hole Thor-220, Taranis completed an additional seven core holes in\nthe Thunder Zone on two access roads. The results of this core\ndrilling are summarized and discussed below.\n \n \n \n \n Two Types of Mineralization in the\nThunder Zone\n \n \n \n \n The Thunder Zone contains two different types of\nmineralization based largely on metal content, but both types of\nmineralization occur within the same vein. The first-type\n(‘Type-A’) is classic epithermal high-grade polymetallic\nmineralization typical of the main Thor deposit. It occurs near the\ntop of the Thunder Zone vein and contains significant amounts of Au,\nAg, Pb, Zn, Cu and Sb. Below this and down-dip, is a second type\n(‘Type-B’) that is lower grade mineralization and contains\ngeochemical levels of gold and silver, and notably lacks base metals\nfound in the Type-A parts of the Thunder Zone. A similar trend is also\nseen in all of the other zones in the main Thor deposit, but with\nsignifican...
