    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.
    • The California occurrence is at the north end of Silver Cup Ridge. It is probably west of the head of Sharon Creek, as indicated by Fyles and Eastwood (EMPR BULL 45). Sharon Creek is a northeasterly flowing tributary of Lardeau Creek. An adit was driven on the California vein sometime prior to 1962.
    • The California vein is "immediately west of the head of Sharon Creek". According to Fyles and Eastwood (EMPR BULL 45), an adit was driven into a pyroclastic member of the lower Broadview Formation. The workings were inaccessible by 1962, but the dump rocks showed that it had been driven on a "cavernous" quartz-calcite vein containing pockets of massive galena.
