Taranis controls the most prospective portion of the Central Belt of the Silver Cup Mining District. We have consolidated dozens of historically independently operated high-grade mines within a single systematic geological model.
THOR TARGET
Flagship Resource
The Thor Deposit
The cornerstone of Taranis' value. A highly concentrated polymetallic
deposit stretching over 2 km on the surface, already containing substantial
indicated silver, gold, zinc, lead, and copper resources.
GeologyEpithermal and Lamprophyre related precious and base metal deposits
Status250+ drill holes, NI 43-101 Mineral Resource defined, permitted for bulk sample
Key TargetUnexplored outside of main Thor deposit area, and includes four high-priority targets
High-Priority Target
The Borr Target
Located 1.3 km southeast of Thor. Borr represents a major geophysical
anomaly mirroring the signature of Thor, indicating a potential repeat
of the massive sulfide mineralization.
GeologyStrong silver-zinc-lead mineralization outlined in drill holes
StatusDrilled in 2025/2026
Key TargetLocating the down-dip extension of the main Thor deposit on the northeast side of the Thor lamprophyre Dyke identified in 2025 deep drilling
Exploration Target
The Nortran Zone
The western continuation of the main Thor deposit that has been faulted-off from the main Thor deposit. Historical exploration adits and mineralization in surface samples indicate a deeply buried extension to the main Thor deposit.
GeologyNumerous airborne EM conductors, and historic exploration workings are believed to be surface expressions of buried polymetallic mineralization
Key TargetHigh-grade gold and silver similar to that found at Horton and SIF
District Extension
The Ram Target
Marking the northern frontier of our consolidated claim block. Ram lies on
the continuation of the 14 km mineralized corridor, demonstrating the
immense regional scale of the plumbing system.
GeologyLocated immediately north of the Thunder Zone discovered by Taranis in 2022, the Ram Target has identical geology to the main Thor deposit
StatusExtensive surface sampling and historical till sampling are being merged into a unified model that incorporates the presence of a large rockslide that conceals a major exploration target
Key TargetVisible gold and extremely high-grade silver have been found in the rockslide, but the source has not been located
Exploration Target
One O'Clock
Untested airborne EM anomalies on the eastern flank of the Thor Deposit overlying the Silver Cup Anticline. May represent a connection to the underlying hydrothermal engine.
GeologyHigh grade surface boulders discovered in 2026
StatusEvaluated in 2026 and may also be connected to Borr
Key TargetHigh-grade epithermal precious and base metal mineralization near surface
The Magmatic Engine
I-1 Intrusive
The ultimate geological prize. Magnetotelluric (MT) surveys have identified
a massive, deep-seated conductive body directly beneath the Thor deposit.
This intrusive is the likely hydrothermal engine that fed all mineralized
zones in the district.
GeologyDeep porphyry/intrusive complex (1–2 km depth)
StatusConfirmed by magnetotellurics and deep drilling indicators
Key TargetLarge-scale copper-gold-silver porphyry system
6,400+
Hectares Under Control
100% ownership of key mineral tenures and select private property within the premiere Central mineral belt of the Silver Cup district – consolidated for the first time.

Historic Mines & Prospects
A treasure trove of historical workings integrated into one unified modern data model.
Before accounting for the massive district-scale exploration upside,
Taranis has established a robust, de-risked polymetallic resource at
the Thor deposit. Over 250 drill holes have defined a continuous
near-surface deposit that forms the bedrock of our valuation.
Select each stage to follow the geological story from the established
surface deposit to the district-scale system beneath it.

01 / The Conceptual Model
Understanding the Model
The Sillitoe conceptual model of linked porphyry–epithermal systems provides a framework for exploring the geological relationships at Thor. The original diagram is shown in full; its generic features are not all confirmed at Thor.
Model StageA Framework for Exploration
02 / The Surface
The Thor Deposit
At the surface, the high-grade Thor deposit provides a massive
base of mineral wealth. Easily accessible, highly concentrated,
and thoroughly drilled, Thor acts as the foundation of investor
confidence. But the geological architecture points to something
much bigger.
Model Stage
Established Surface Resource
03 / The Shadow
The ‘Tusks’ Alteration Halo
Surrounding and extending far beyond Thor lies the Tusks
Alteration Halo. This massive geochemical and mineralogical
footprint represents rock altered by superheated hydrothermal
fluids—the unmistakable calling card of a giant heat source
nearby.
Model Stage
District-Scale Alteration Footprint
04 / The Engine
The I-1 Intrusive
Directly underneath Thor, geophysics has revealed
“The Elephant”—the I-1 Intrusive. This massive,
deep-seated magmatic engine acted as the central volcanic pump,
forcing mineral-rich fluids upward through geological fault zones.
A well-documented porphyry deposit occurs within 6 km of Thor, with its own associated Ag/Pb/Zn vein systems.
Model Stage
Deep-Seated Magmatic Source
05 / The District
Unlocking the District
The I-1 Intrusive did not just feed Thor. The geological plumbing
system branching from this engine connects targets including Thor,
Borr, Nortran, Ram and One O'Clock across the mineralized corridor.
This is a district-scale exploration model, not a single-deposit
thesis.
The elephant metaphor brings the exploration model together, from the visible surface feature to the deeper magmatic engine.

Strategic Positioning
The Strategic Value of District Control
In the mining sector, fragmented districts are difficult to develop.
By consolidating 100% of the Silver Cup district, Taranis has created
a rare, high-value asset class that fits the acquisition criteria of
major mining corporations.
01
District Scale
Major miners do not buy isolated deposits; they buy districts. By
controlling a consolidated 14 km mineralized belt, Taranis offers
the long-term mining runway and scalability that Tier-1 mining
houses require to justify capital allocation.
Scalable Mining Runway
02
Tier-1 Jurisdiction
Geopolitics has made project jurisdiction a critical board-level
concern. Located in British Columbia, Canada, the Silver Cup District
provides a secure, stable and legally predictable operating
environment with established infrastructure.
British Columbia, Canada
03
Consolidated Ownership
No joint ventures, no fragmented claims and no legacy royalties.
Taranis holds a clean, 100% interest across the entire 6,400+ hectare
block, eliminating the transactional complexity that typically
stalls major acquisitions.
Unified Asset Control
04
A Historic Mining District with a Rich Legacy
By 1900, the neighboring communities of Trout Lake and Ferguson had each grown to approximately 1,000 residents, reflecting the region's thriving mining industry. Today, Taranis is applying modern geological science to explore the mineral potential of this historic district.
