Taranis Acquires 100% Interest in 1,634 Ha Property Adjoining Thor
Estes Park, Colorado, January 20, 2025 – Taranis Resources Inc. (“Taranis” or the “Company”) [TSX.V:
TRO, OTCQB: TNREF] is providing an update to a News Release that was issued on October 8, 2024
announcing that it had signed an Agreement to purchase a land package adjacent to the Thor project. This
land acquisition has now been completed. The Mineral Tenures acquired were issued between the years
2005 and 2016 and are located over prospective parts of the Silver Cup Mining District including the past-
producing Nettie L. Mine and portions of the Silver Cup Mine area.
In 2024, Taranis re-directed exploration drilling at Thor to deeper, underlying areas that have the potential
to yield large, bulk -mineable deposits. These targets were derived from a revolutionary airborne
magnetotelluric system implemented by Expert Geophysics that focused on a core area of Thor. Drilling in
2024 assessed several key features of this survey, and the initial drilling results demonstrate that this
geophysical approach is very useful. Our findings indicated that the airborne system was not only able to
identify some new intrusive bodies not previously known at Thor, but it was able to define three concentric
zones of hydrothermal alteration underlying the Thor epithermal deposit . As analysis of the 2024 drilling
data progresses, more information will emerge on this exciting aspect of the geology at Thor. As most of
the prospective exploration targets outlined by this geophysical method are large, measuring up to 1km in
length, it is a requirement that the property needs to be large enough to accommodate sizeable prospective
mineral deposits, and the infrastructure that accompanies them.
Exploration Targeting at Thor
John Gardiner, President and CEO of Taranis remarks “Our geological model at Thor utilizes what is called
a linked-epithermal porphyry type model , and we suspect near surface, high-grade mineralization to be
underlain by a deeper, underlying source. This source could be an intrusive, or associated alteration zone
that surrounds the intrusion. Intrusive-associated precious or base metal deposits are highly sought after
owing to their size, but characteristically have low-grade metal tenors in contrast to high-grade deposits
sought by ‘old-timers’. In order to identify these targets deep below the surface, Taranis utilizes geophysical
surveys that measure magnetic and conductivity parameters of the earth . This data is then subjected to
geophysical inversion which is a mathematical proces s of estimating the values of geological model
parameters (such as size and depth) from a set of observed geophysical data and models the responses in
three-dimensions. This approach provides Taranis with three-dimensional models of the earth that outline
the distribution of geological formations, alteration features , and even targets related directly to
mineralization. These targets are tested with drill holes, and the magnetic and resistivity responses are
carefully measured on the drill core and compared with the inver ted models. This approach ensures that
Taranis is constantly evolving its knowledge of datasets to select the best targets for drilling”.

About Taranis and Thor
Taranis Resources is a Canadian mineral exploration company . The Thor Project is in southeast British
Columbia. Taranis has completed upwards of 250 drill holes , linking all previously known mines into a
single, near-surface epithermal deposit that has been recently updated into an NI 43-101 Mineral Resource
Estimate (see Taranis News Release dated April 11, 2024). In the summer of 2024, Taranis initiated deep
drilling aimed at finding the source of the 2 km long epithermal deposit.
