Horton - Geophysical FeaturesESTES PARK, CO / ACCESSWIRE / November 6, 2023 / Taranis Resources Inc. ("Taranis" or the "Company") (TSX.V:TRO)(OTCQB:TNREF) is pleased to provide an initial report on exploration conducted in 2023 at Thor. A high-priority electromagnetic ("EM") target located over 300m west of the Thor deposit, designated 'Horton', was evaluated and yielded promising exploration results.
科羅拉多州埃斯蒂斯公園/ACCESSWIRE /2023 年 11 月 6 日/ 塔拉尼斯資源公司（“塔拉尼斯” 或 “公司”）（多倫多證券交易所股票代碼：TRO）（OTCQB: TNREF）很高興提供2023年在雷神進行的勘探的初步報告。對位於雷神礦牀以西300米處的高優先級電磁目標（“EM”）進行了評估，該目標被命名爲 “Horton”，並得出了令人鼓舞的勘探結果。
The entirety of the known Thor epithermal deposit occurs east of a major NNW-trending fault called the Ripper Fault. Horton is the first time any epithermal mineralization has been located west of the Ripper Fault. Mineralized boulders occur in a field which has been derived from an unknown source up the south side of Great Northern Mountain. If the source of the Horton boulder field can be located in bedrock, it means that the epithermal Mineral resource at Thor extends much further to the west than previously known, and this is graphically shown on a cross-section that can be found on the company's website.
整個已知的雷神超熱礦牀都位於一個名爲開膛手斷層的朝向新南威爾士州的主要斷層以東。霍頓是開膛手斷層以西首次出現任何超熱礦化區。礦化巨石出現在大北方山南側的一個未知來源的田地中。如果霍頓巨石場的來源可以位於基岩中，則意味着雷神的超熱礦產資源向西延伸得比以前所知的要遠得多，這在公司網站上可以找到的橫截面上以圖形方式顯示。

Horton - Geophysical Features
霍頓-地球物理特徵
Horton is a circular feature, 600m in diameter visible on airphotos, and is surrounded by a number of EM anomalies. In May of 2022, an airborne magnetotelluric ("MT") and magnetic survey completed by Expert Geophysics ("EG") confirmed the presence of previously known strong EM-37 anomalies located on the NW edge of Horton. Data from VLF surveys completed in 2007 further corroborates the EM-37 and MT anomalies.
霍頓是一個圓形特徵，在 airphotos 上可以看到直徑 600 米，周圍環繞着許多 EM 異常。2022 年 5 月，專家地球物理學（“EG”）完成的機載大地電磁（“MT”）和磁測證實，霍頓西北邊緣存在先前已知的強烈的 EM-37 異常。2007 年完成的 VLF 調查的數據進一步證實了 EM-37 和 MT 異常。
The EG MT survey also identified a large resistive lobe-like feature located to the east of Horton. Taranis refers to the resistivity feature as "The Claw" owing to its distinctive, hand-like appearance. The Claw is interpreted to be a buried quartz-rich granitic body and associated silicification that underlies the known Thor epithermal deposit. Taranis has also been able to locate intrusive rocks at Thor in an old drill hole at Thor (Thor-210) and in surface prospecting, and this will be discussed in an upcoming News Release.
EG MT 的調查還發現了一個位於霍頓以東的大型電阻葉狀特徵。塔拉尼斯將電阻率特徵稱爲 “The Claw”，因爲它具有獨特的手感外觀。Claw 被解釋爲埋藏的富含石英的花崗岩體和相關的硅化作用，是已知的雷神超熱礦牀的基礎。塔拉尼斯還能夠在托爾的一箇舊鑽孔（Thor-210）和地表勘探中找到侵入性岩石，這將在即將發佈的新聞稿中進行討論。
Ripper Fault and the Gold Pit Knocker
開膛手故障和金坑敲門人
A group of conductive EM-37 anomalies aligned in a north-northwest-trend defines the Ripper Fault that also delineates the western edge of the known Thor epithermal deposit. In 2022, exposures were made of this fault and it shows a near-vertical attitude. In several places, the fault includes extremely high-grade gold and silver mineralization; it appears to be pieces of the Thor epithermal deposit that have been shredded and incorporated into the Ripper Fault.
一組按西北偏北趨勢排列的導電 EM-37 異常定義了開膛手斷層，該斷層還描繪了已知雷神超熱礦牀的西部邊緣。2022 年，對這個缺陷進行了曝光，它顯示出近乎垂直的態度。在一些地方，該斷層包括極高品位的金銀礦化；它似乎是雷神超熱礦牀的碎片已被切碎並融入開膛手斷層。
Discovery of High-Grade Boulders at Horton
在霍頓發現高檔巨石
Taranis decided to investigate the conductive geophysical targets and identified a number of mineralized boulders (some weighing several tons). The boulders are mineralized with quartz-carbonate veining, pyrite, tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite, and occur topographically higher than the Thor epithermal deposit making it impossible to have been derived from the known deposit. That said, the origin of these mineralized boulders has not been located in bedrock as the area has upwards of 95% colluvium/rockslide material covering bedrock. Taranis completed additional rock, soil, stream sediment and VLF surveys over the area and the results and interpretation of this exploration work are in progress. The following table shows the initial eight float samples that were analyzed.
塔拉尼斯決定調查導電的地球物理目標，並發現了許多礦化巨石（有些重達數噸）。這些巨石由石英碳酸鹽脈紋、黃鐵礦、四面體、黃銅礦和閃鋅礦礦化而成，其地形高於雷神超熱礦牀，因此不可能從已知礦牀中提取出來。也就是說，這些礦化巨石的起源不在基岩中，因爲該地區有超過95％的堆積層/岩石滑坡物質覆蓋基岩。塔拉尼斯在該地區完成了額外的岩石、土壤、溪流沉積物和甚低頻調查，這項勘探工作的結果和解釋正在進行中。下表顯示了最初分析的八個浮點樣本。

Some of the samples from this area exhibit brecciated textures not found in the known Thor deposit, including widespread brecciation and massive clots of tetrahedrite in massive sulfide. The metal content is also notably different from the main Thor deposit, showing enrichment of precious metals, elevated antimony content and depletion of base metals. It also matches the tenors and metal content of the mineralization found in Gold Pit - suggesting a geological link between Horton and Gold Pit.
該地區的一些樣本表現出在已知的雷神礦牀中找不到的角礫質地，包括大量的角礫岩和塊狀硫化物中的大量四面體凝塊。金屬含量也與主要的雷神礦牀明顯不同，顯示出貴金屬富集、銻含量升高和賤金屬枯竭。它還與金礦中發現的礦化的特質和金屬含量相匹配——這表明霍頓和金礦之間存在地質聯繫。
Comment
評論
John Gardiner, President and CEO of Taranis comments, "a big mystery with the epithermal deposit has been its low length/width ratio - in fact it is 1:10. If there is a downfaulted portion of the deposit to the west, then that ratio is going to be something more typical like a 1:4 or 1:3 ratio, and much closer to the ideal un-eroded 1:1 epithermal deposit that formed over an intrusive source. This has obvious consequences for the size of the Mineral Resource at Thor. In 2024, Taranis hopes to have permits to drill deep holes to the east of the deposit where we believe there is an intrusive body related to the overlying epithermal deposit. To be frank, we never followed up on the Horton Target because it was located off-trend from the main deposit. In hindsight, Horton makes perfect sense in the context of our linked porphyry-epithermal model of the Thor deposit, and we are very excited to begin systematic exploration of this target".
塔拉尼斯總裁兼首席執行官約翰·加德納評論說：“超熱礦牀的一大謎團是它的長寬比低——實際上是 1:10。如果礦牀向西有下斷層部分，則該比例將更爲典型，比如 1:4 或 1:3，並且更接近於在侵入源上形成的理想的未侵蝕的 1:1 超熱礦牀。這對雷神礦產資源的規模有明顯的影響。塔拉尼斯希望在2024年獲得許可證，在礦牀以東鑽深孔，我們認爲那裏有一個與上覆超熱礦牀有關的侵入體。坦率地說，我們從未對霍頓目標進行過跟進，因爲它與主存款偏離了趨勢。事後看來，在我們關聯的雷神礦牀斑岩-超熱液模型的背景下，霍頓是完全合理的，我們很高興開始系統地勘探這個目標”。
Quality Control
質量控制
Sampling and collection of samples was undertaken and completed by John Gardiner. Float samples from the Thor Project are shipped to ALS Geochemistry ("ALS") Kamloops for preparation. Analyses are completed by ALS in Vancouver, which is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. Gold is determined using a one-tonne fire assay method, with an atomic absorption finish. Silver content is determined using Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy ("ICP"), and in cases where silver content exceeds 100 ppm, samples are gravimetrically reanalyzed where over limits are required. The content of other metals is also determined using ICP, and in cases where the metal content exceeds analytical limits, the sample is analyzed using ICP with a different set of calibration standards.
樣本的採樣和收集由約翰·加德納進行並完成。來自雷神項目的浮標樣本被運送到ALS地球化學（“ALS”）坎盧普斯進行準備。分析由位於溫哥華的 ALS 完成，該中心已獲得 ISO/IEC 17025:2017 測試和校準實驗室能力一般要求的認證。金是使用一噸火分析法測定的，表面經過原子吸收。銀含量是使用電感耦合等離子體光譜法（“ICP”）測定的，如果銀含量超過100 ppm，則在需要超過限值的情況下對樣品進行重力學再分析。其他金屬的含量也使用ICP測定，如果金屬含量超過分析極限，則使用ICP和一套不同的校準標準對樣品進行分析。
