TARANIS COMPLETES EXPLORATORY DRILLING AT BORR ZONE, IDENTIFYING NATIVE SILVER IN THOR-260
Taranis Resources Inc. has successfully completed its initial drilling campaign aimed at defining geometry and continuity of the newly discovered Borr zone. This new zone is located near surface 1.3 kilometres southeast of the southernmost Broadview zone of the Thor deposit. A total of 404.83 metres in eight drill holes was completed and 160 drill core samples were collected during the program.
It was confirmed that an intercept of native silver, presenting as both wires and flakes, was made in drill hole Thor-260 at a depth of 28.2 metres. Despite having drilled over 22,000 metres to establish the polymetallic National Instrument 43-101-compliant mineral resource at Thor, Taranis has never before encountered native silver. This discovery highlights that while mineralization at Borr (silver/gold/zinc/copper/indium) is clearly related to that found at Thor, several important differences have already been noted, and these are worthy of careful consideration and integration into expanded exploration plans.
Discussion
Exploration at Borr was centred on a precision drill program aimed at documenting the geometry, continuity and metal content of the zone in preparation for future definition-scale drilling. Ground and downhole geophysics were also completed, and this will provide additional targeting guidance once assay results are integrated into modelling of the zone. The Borr area is completely covered by rockslide material, including a large measure of glacial erratics, making geophysical surveying indispensable for targeting.
Qualified person
Exploration activities at Thor were overseen by John Gardiner, PGeo, who is a qualified person under
the meaning of NI 43-101. Mr. Gardiner is the principal of John J. Gardiner &
Associates LLC, which operates in British Columbia under firm permit No. 1002256. Mr. Gardiner is the president and chief executive officer of Taranis Resources and has reviewed and approved the comments contained within this news release.
About Taranis Resources Inc.
Taranis Resources has evolved beyond the profile of a traditional junior explorer. After 15 years of methodical exploration and compiling a massive database from over 250 drill holes to define an NI 43-101 mineral resource at Thor -- and recently completing a 100-per-cent consolidation of the historic Silver Cup mining district -- the company is transitioning from understanding the Thor deposit to unlocking district-scale discovery potential.
Taranis's core values include scientific rigour, highlighting exploration driven by state-of-the-art predictive targeting, 3-D geophysical inversions and carefully controlled use of AI (artificial intelligence), as opposed to traditional surface-level prospecting. The company prioritizes methodological, high-quality exploration over promotional shortcuts and allocates funds into the ground. Taranis's leadership has unmatched shareholder alignment, and the company's management team has been intact for 20 years with substantial insider ownership. Taranis exercises responsible stewardship and is committed to defining legitimate ownership through active labour, stringent reclamation programs, and transparent first nations and local community engagement.
Taranis currently has 105,620,693 shares issued and outstanding (122,608,613 shares on a fully diluted basis).
