Taranis Reports Favourable Findings of Aerial Ropeway Research
Estes Park, Colorado, March 4, 2021 – Taranis Resources Inc. (“Taranis” or the “Company” ) [TSX.V:
TRO, OTCQB: TNREF ] i s pleased to provide shareholders with an update on the Thor Project in
southeastern British Columbia. Taranis is currently permitting a 10,000 t onne bulk sample that would test
the quality and metallurgical characteristics of a pre-concentrate product that would be suitable for transport
in an aerial tramway.
Taranis contacted Doppelmayr, a world-renowned manufacturer of aerial conveyance methods, to prepare
a preliminary design for a Pulsed Movement Aerial Ropeway ( “PMAR”) system which would move pre-
concentrated material from the Thor mine site and down Great Northern Mountain without the need for
trucking.
Doppelmayr has produced a longitudinal profile , general description , and cost estimate for the PMAR
system. The system as presently designed could generate a significant amount of clean electricity – up to
300 kilowatts under maximum load. This power could hypothetically be used for a mining operation, or as
a clean energy source for nearby structures or electric mining vehicles.
PMAR Design
PMAR would integrate 14 towers and span 3,800 metres horizontally. Its excellent power generation
capacity is due in large part to the 812 metres of vertical descent and the dense concentrates transported.
The system was designed with a conveyance capacity of 14 tonnes/hour, 6 metres/second rope speed, and
includes automated bin dumping. The PMAR would originate at the True Fissure Millsite and would transit
Broadview Mountain to an area near the base of the mountain where pre-concentrated mineral products
could be stored and unloaded. An overview of a similar PMAR can be found at: https://www.doppelmayr-

Reduction of Emissions and Other Benefits of PMAR
Taranis estimates that installation of a material ropeway would save an estimated 43,000 truck loads of pre-
concentrate being moved from the project, plus return trips. The elimination of such a large amount of truck
travel in steep terrain virtually guarantees significant operational improvements with respect to health and
safety, greenhouse gas emissions, fuel costs, road upgrading and maintenance, fleet maintenance, snow
clearing, and environmental disturbance. The material ropeway could also be used to transport materials
and supplies uphill to the project.
Comment
John Gardiner, President and CEO, commented, “This approach is an innovative opportunity to deliver the
clean metals that will help make greener technologies of the future possible – right here in British Columbia.
The Ministry of Energy, Mines, and Low Carbon Innovation has intensified its commitment to “invest in
good jobs and livelihoods in a clean-energy future”, and Taranis’ Midway concept dovetails perfectly with
these goals.”
