• Sharon (Old Reliable)

    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 Sharon property is near the Towser [082KNW028] at the north end of Silver Cup Ridge. The Sharon and Old Reliable claims were most likely on Sharon Creek, where Fyles and Eastwood located an adit in 1962. Sharon Creek flows to the northeast into Lardeau Creek.
    • The Sharon vein is a well defined structure, about 0.91 metre wide on surface, that was found to contain "concentrating ore" in the late 1890s. At that time, it was stripped in a few places. In 1900, a local syndicate drove a tunnel that followed the vein for 38.1 metres. There were several stringers of high-grade mineralization in the face of the drift but it was not considered to be of economic significance.
