## Minestarters Atlas summary

Taranis Resources has identified high-priority exploration targets at the Horton area through a combination of soil sampling, geophysics, and surface grab sampling of high-grade boulders. While diamond drilling was completed to define bedrock depth, it did not return mineralized intercepts, and the company is now focusing on the geophysical anomalies identified.

Reasoning: The release reports high-grade surface grab samples and identifies new geophysical targets, but the actual diamond drilling was non-targeted and yielded no assay results.

- Positive factor: high-grade surface boulders identified

- Positive factor: geophysical anomalies \(VLF/Magnetic\) correlate with targets

- Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed

- Negative factor: drill holes were not targeted and did not report grades

- Negative factor: grab sampling is not representative of subsurface

Facts used in scoring: 7

## 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 Actlabs \(ISO 17025 accredited\) and submission of analytical standards.

Evidence · text

> Actlabs is ISO 17025 accredited.

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: Sample 3241044 returned 14.55 g/t Au and 1,045 g/t Ag.

Evidence · table

> 14.55
