• Gus

    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 Gus No. 1 prospect is by the road on the north side of Lardeau Creek, approximately 2.5 kilometres west of Ferguson Creek. It is at approximately 1000 metres elevation on the slope below the old Rattler (L.7048) crown grant, west of Six-Mile Creek. Moly Gold Resources Limited drilled a single diamond drill hole there in 1984.
    • The geology of the area is poorly defined. However, it is underlain by folded and deformed phyllites and schists of the Lardeau Group. In 1984, Moly Gold Resources Limited drilled a single diamond drill hole to test for mineralization reported in a nearby, caved adit. The hole returned intersections of siliceous phyllite and meta-argillite containing numerous barren quartz veinlets and sweats with 1-2 percent pyrite, and a 0.06 metre wide zone containing semi-massive pyrite, galena and sphalerite. The mineralized section assayed 10.59 grams per tonne gold, 103 grams per tonne silver, 1.58 per cent lead and 1.98 per cent zinc over 1.83 metres. The adit was in the eastern part of the Gus #1 claim, and may have been on the old Bell Boy (L.7442) claim. It had been driven to the north into the hill.
