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.

Riikonkoski 3D Magnetic Inversion

Riikonkoski is a sizeable copper-gold deposit that has seen little work in the past 50 years. Taranis is in process of evaluating the pre-existing data on the property, that includes diamond drilling, ground magnetic surveys, HLEM surveys, and finally a reconnaissance SkyTEM survey completed in 2011. Geophysical inversions are a complicated process that takes data collected in geophysical surveys, and enables the geophysicist and geologist to create three dimensional models of the subsurface using magnetics, electromagnetics and other geophysical methods. This data can then be correlated with the geology and mineralization found in drill holes to increase knowledge of the subsurface.

Geophysical Inversions of the ground magnetic data are useful for mapping rock formations in the subsurface. They tell the geologists where a deposit might be located, and it also enables a greater understanding of the geology, stratigraphy and structure of the rocks that host the gold deposits. The modeling may even reveal the location of a target, and some indication of the depth of burial and the lateral extent.

The Spatial Configuration of Riikonkoski Copper-Gold Mineralization:

The drilling completed to data has outlined a mid-size copper deposit that is open in several directions and occurs along the west side of a large magnetic body that measures over 1km in length. Despite the large number of drill holes completed at Riikonkoski, there is not a single drill hole that offers an explanation of what the source of this large magnetic anomaly is. The simplest explanation is that it is an intrusive body - possibly related to mineralization, but it could also pre-date or post the copper gold mineralization found at Riikonkoski. The occurrence of this body adjacent to the copper-gold mineralization is highly suspicious, and needs to be investigated further.
