THE COMPANY

Taranis Resources Inc. is a publicly-traded exploration company that has a number of exciting prospects in Canada and Finland. With only 31,129,987 shares issued and outstanding (39,126,987 shares on a fully-diluted basis), our company is well-positioned to benefit our shareholders. Most of our exploration projects have either identified Mineral Resources, or are imminently on their way to having Resource Estimates completed on them.

Finland

Naakenavaara (Cu, Au, Co, Ni): After completing extensive early-stage exploration in 2010, Taranis is convinced that the Naakenavaara project has what it takes to host a world-class Copper-Gold-Cobalt-Nickel deposit. Between 1972 and 2001, the Geological Survey of Finland drilled 35 holes (5,050.7 m). The Naakenavaara project covers over 16 km2 of a feature known as the Naakenavaara Syncline, and is truly a "district-scale" target. There are two types of targets that Taranis is pursuing on this property, and these include wide zones of low-grade stratabound disseminate-style mineralization similar to the Aitik Mine in Sweden, and finally an Outokumpu-type massive sulfide target that the company has found compelling evidence.

Riikonkoski (Cu, Au): Taranis has recently acquired the Riikonkoski Copper Deposit located only 6.5 km west of the Naakenavaara Property. The Geological Survey of Finland has completed 72 drill holes in the early 1970's (16,326 m) and has identified three main bodies of mineralization that include the following Historical Resource.

Kettukuusikko (Au): This project occurs in the Sirkka Fault Zone and lies about 5 km northeast of Naakenavaara. A small gold deposit that is amenable to open pit extraction has been delineated with 61 drill holes, and has been drilled-off on 25 m centers. Taranis will undertake a NI 43-101 resource evaluation of this project in early 2011, with special emphasis on identifying new areas of high-grade gold mineralization in the Kettukuusikko North Zone that remains open at depth and also along strike to the north.

Canada

Thor (Ag, Zn, Pb, Au, Cu): Taranis recently expanded the size of its land-holding in an area southeast of Revelstoke, British Columbia to cover a highly prospective, highly deformed volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit. This deposit has extremely high grades, and Taranis has drilled 152 drill holes and compiled 310 intercepts including drill holes and trenches. Geophysical surveys indicate the existing deposit is folded under itself in an area called the Western Deeps Target. Taranis is currently permitting the exploration program.

Gold

Gold is found in ores made up of rock with very small or microscopic particles of gold. This gold ore is often found together with quartz or sulfide minerals such as Fool's Gold, which is a pyrite. Gold's atomic number of 79 makes it one of the higher atomic number elements which occur naturally. Like all elements with atomic numbers larger than iron, gold is thought to have been formed from a supernova nucleosynthesis process.

Silver

Silver has been used for thousands of years for ornaments and utensils, for trade, and as the basis for many monetary systems. Its value as a precious metal was long considered second only to gold. The word "silver" appears in Anglo-Saxon in various spellings such as seolfor and siolfor. During World War II, the short supply of copper led to the substitution of silver in many industrial applications.

Copper

Copper has been in use at least 10,000 years, but more than 95% of all copper ever mined and smelted has been extracted since 1900. As with many natural resources, the total amount of copper on Earth is vast (around 1014 tons just in the top kilometer of Earth's crust, or about 5 million years worth at the current rate of extraction). However, only a tiny fraction of these reserves is economically viable, given present-day prices and technologies

Cobalt

Cobalt occurs in copper and nickel minerals and in combination with sulfur and arsenic in the sulfidic cobaltite (CoAsS), safflorite (CoAs2) and skutterudite (CoAs3) minerals. The mineral cattierite is similar to pyrite and occurs together with vaesite in the copper deposits of the Katanga Province. Cobalt is not found as a native metal but is mainly obtained as a by-product of nickel and copper mining activities.

Lead

Roman lead pipes often bore the insignia of Roman emperors. Lead plumbing in the Latin West may have been continued beyond the age of Theoderic the Great into the medieval period. Many Roman "pigs" (ingots) of lead figure in Derbyshire lead mining history and in the history of the industry in other English centers. The Romans also used lead in molten form to secure iron pins that held together large limestone blocks in buildings.

Zinc

Various isolated examples of the use of impure zinc in ancient times have been discovered. A possibly prehistoric statuette containing 87.5% zinc was found in a Dacian archaeological site in Transylvania (modern Romania). Ornaments made of alloys that contain 80–90% zinc with lead, iron, antimony, and other metals making up the remainder, have been found that are 2500 years old.
