    The Thor deposit lies in the northwest part of a much larger property called the 'Expanded Property'. Outside of the Thor epithermal Mineral Resource area are a number of other prospects, mines and mineral occurrences that have seen various levels of exploration over the past 130 years. In 2026, Taranis will systematically evaluate a large number of these areas.
  • The Abrahamson prospect is near the junction of North (Ferguson) Creek and South Lardeau Creek, near the community of Ferguson. The Abrahamson Group originally included the North Star, Crystal and Queen of the Hills tenures. The tenures were worked in the early 1890s; however, their precise location is uncertain.
    • Baltimore.—This ground has been held successively as the Baltimore, Revenue, and Katinka claims, and has now lapsed. It is 1 ha miles from Ferguson up the Ferguson Creek trail. Most of the work appears to have been done before 1908.
    • The workings include two adits just above the trail and an open-cut just below. The open-cut has been made on an 8-foot quartz vein that strikes north 70 degrees east and dips 55 degrees south and is crossed by numerous veinlets of sphalerite. The vein is in Ajax quartzite on or close to the crest of the Silvercup anticline.
    • The adits are 100 feet apart. The south one was caved in 1955. The north adit crosscuts lower Broadview grits and a narrow band of Ajax quartzite, entering black phyllite. A drift follows a 4-foot quartz vein along the quartzite­ phyllite contact for 55 feet northwest without encountering appreciable sulphides.
