## Minestarters Atlas summary

Taranis Resources reported assay results from drill hole Thor-214 at the Thor project in British Columbia, featuring a 10.64 m intercept averaging 0.49 g/t Au, 249.4 g/t Ag, and 7.7% combined Pb+Zn+Cu. The results demonstrate lateral continuity and vertical zonation within the massive sulphide deposit.

Reasoning: The intercept shows strong silver and base metal grades \(Pb/Zn/Cu\) with clear QA/QC protocols and QP sign-off, though antimony is noted as a potential byproduct/penalty element.

- Positive factor: Strong silver grades

- Positive factor: High-grade polymetallic intercept

- Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed

- Positive factor: QP signed

- Negative factor: Deleterious elements present

Facts used in scoring: 6

## Classification and evidence

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: Release mentions standards every 10th sample and internal checks at Bureau Veritas.

Evidence · text

> Taranis inserts standards every 10th sample for quality control

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.

Why it applies: John Gardiner \(P. Geol.\) is named as the Qualified Person.

Evidence · text

> overseen by John Gardiner \(P. Geol.\) who is a Qualified Person

**Deleterious Elements Present**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Penalty elements \(arsenic, antimony, etc.\) or refractory concerns noted in the release.

Why it applies: Antimony is mentioned as an element that may be evaluated in more detail.

Evidence · text

> The intercept also contained 0.05% Antimony

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
