The Foundation of Our Business

Rocks can be"Big-Business" and it is important to be able to understand what they tell us. They host all of the metals that we use in everyday life, include gold, silver, copper lead and zinc. To find out more information about Taranis, click on the View Page.

The Quest & Remote Places

Ore deposits have been sought for thousands of years, and the most obvious deposits have been already mined-out. The quest for these deposits takes us to places that are remote. To find out more infomation on our Thor Project, click on the View Page.

The Reward!

It is still possible to find gold, silver and other metals near surface provided you have all the "right stuff". The deposits need to be trenched and drilled to develop the mineral occurrences into Resources. To find out about the Resource Taranis has developed at Thor, click on the View Page.

Experience

Many ore deposits are no longer found using the traditional prospecting methods, and require an indepth knowledge of not only geology, but other sciences including geophysics, computer science and geochemistry. To find out more infomation on our Directors, click on the View Page.

The Single Tree in the Forest

Exploration is essentially seeing through the Forest and finding a valuable tree. Sometimes the tree cannot be seen with the naked eye and requires technology that was not available to old-time prospectors. To find out how we use geophysics in Finland, click on the View Page.

Drill Baby, Drill

It is almost impossible to build a valuable Resource without using diamond drills. Diamond drilling is costly, and when done correctly it can be used to build an NI 43-101 Resource of valuable metals in the ground. To find out how we used drills to build a +1 M tonne Resource at Thor, click on the View Page.

Separating Fact & Fiction

Once a promising deposit of metals is found, it is necessary to evaluate the ability to be able to recover these metals out of the ground. There are many means to refine and concentrate ore, including gravity separation, and flotation. To find out about the recent metallurgical work at Thor, click on the View Page.

Focused Exploration

One of the main criticism of junior exploration companies by the public is the lack of focus to develop Resources on a Property. To discover more on the Resource at Thor, click on the View Page.

NI 43-101 Resources

The objective of any exploration program should be the discovery and the identification of Mineral Resources that can ultimately be classified into an NI 43-101 Resource, and ultimately mined to the benefit of the economy and the company's shareholders.

Where People Meet Challenges

Exploration is a capital intensive business, and it involves a lot of problem solving to find solutions to problems to test and evaluate the potential of an exploration property. To find out more information about our Directors, click on the View Page.

Under that Landscape is Risk

Under all the beautiful landscapes and the setting sun, lies Risk! The prudent junior mining company learns how to manage risk carefully, and not casue excessive dilution to the shareholders of the company. To find out more information about our share capital, click on the View Page.

The Tools

Exploration involves using a "toolbox" of equipment, each tool tailored to accomplish a specific objective in the exploration program. They can range from a hand-lens to an excavator, each looking to find an ore deposit. To see some images in our Gallery, click on the View Page.

The News Contrail

Exploration involves getting your hands dirty to find the answers to the questions that guide the exploration directive, and this information needs to get publicised to inform shareholders of our progress. To find out more information about News Releases, click on the View Page.

Why British Columbia and Finland?

Our Philosophy

For those of you new to this website, I would like to take a little time to explain our business strategy. Despite "all-time-high" commodity prices, funding in the exploration sector remains challenging - financings are being completed at record-low levels and pose serious challenges to exploration companies and their shareholders.

Taranis has tailored some creative solutions to the issue...

  • Most of our exploration and management is done "In-House". This means that exploration is done inexpensively, and by Management in the company.
  • Low overhead costs - take a look at how Taranis compares with other junior exploration companies. Our overhead costs are almost inconsequential, guaranteeing the shareholder that we put all of our your money into our exploration projects.
  • 100% Ownership in properties - All of our exploration projects have been identified by Taranis and are owned 100% by the company. This maximizes shareholder value, but it also eliminates costly Option fees and Joint Venture costs that are common amongst other junior mining exploration companies.

How Do You Find/Develop an Ore Deposit and Reward the Shareholder?

All of this means nothing if you don't have the ability to find an ore deposit! The days of prospectors roaming the tundra finding ore deposits are largely over, and most significant ore deposits have been discovered in areas that don't even have outcrop exposed. Increasingly, we are seeing the use of geophysics and geochemistry being used to try and find large deposits that are currently hidden. Taranis tries to use "Big Company" technology to find these deposits, and utilizes software and instruments that are state of the art!

The Near-Term: Thor

Our Thor property was orignally explored in the late 1800's, and is part of a much larger silver-mining District that occurs north and east of Trout lake, British Columbia. After acquiring the proeprty in 2007, Taranis aggressively explored the property in the following two years, drilling and outlining the historic mineralization known to exist on the property. The years 2009-2011 saw a hiatus in exploration as financings in the market remained difficult, and Taranis focused on quantifying the existing mineral resources on the Thor property. The results of this are summarized in a Resource estimate (NI 43-101 compliant) that was completed in June of 2013.

Between 2009 and 2015, Taranis aggressively acquired more land in the area, and assembled the existing property that is over 21 km2 in size. Taranis undertook an important exploration program in 2012, 2013 and 2014 on the Mineral Tenures outside of the existing Resource area and identified mineralization that has not been explored. This is perhaps the most important aspect of our Thor Property - not only does it have a substantial amount of Ag-Pb-Zn-Au-Cu mineralization outlined by the 152 drill holes and 35 trenches Taranis has completed, but it has imminent expandability.

Thank You! 

Finally, I would like to thank all of our shareholders for the support and help you have given us!  If you are not a shareholder, we invite you to join us in our exciting quest - we know that you will enjoy the excitement of finding and developing the next big ore deposit in Canada and Finland!
