Taranis Restarts Exploration Activities at Thor After Wildfire
Taranis Resources Inc. (TSXV:TRO)(OTCQB:TNREF) has announced the restart of exploration activities at its Thor epithermal deposit following a significant wildfire. The fire affected approximately 75% of the core deposit area, causing extensive damage to vegetation. Despite the fire's intensity, Taranis' core infrastructure remained unscathed, including the core library, exploration camp, and bridges.
Drilling operations are set to resume on Tuesday after securing the affected areas. The company has mobilized an excavator to mitigate the risk of falling trees. One exploration drill sustained fire damage but is expected to be operational soon. The B.C. wildfire service estimated the burn area at 596 Hectares six days ago, and an Evacuation Alert remains in effect since July 23.

Taranis Resources Inc. (TSXV:TRO)(OTCQB:TNREF) a annoncé la reprise des activités d'exploration sur son dépôt épithermal Thor suite à un important incendie de forêt. L'incendie a touché environ 75 % de la zone centrale du dépôt, causant des dommages importants à la végétation. Malgré l'intensité du feu, l'infrastructure principale de Taranis est restée intacte, y compris la bibliothèque de carottes, le camp d'exploration et les ponts.
Les opérations de forage devraient reprendre mardi après avoir sécurisé les zones touchées. L'entreprise a mobilisé une pelle mécanique pour atténuer le risque d'arbres tombants. Un foreur d'exploration a subi des dommages dus au feu, mais il devrait être opérationnel bientôt.

Taranis Resources Inc. (TSXV:TRO)(OTCQB:TNREF) hat die Wiederaufnahme der Explorationsaktivitäten an seinem Thor-epithermalen Lagerstätte nach einem erheblichen Waldbrand bekannt gegeben. Das Feuer betraf etwa 75% des Kernbereichs der Lagerstätte und verursachte umfangreiche Schäden an der Vegetation. Trotz der Intensität des Feuers blieb die zentrale Infrastruktur von Taranis unbeschädigt, einschließlich der Kernbibliothek, des Erkundungscamps und der Brücken.
Die Bohrarbeiten sollen am Dienstag wieder aufgenommen werden, nachdem die betroffenen Bereiche gesichert wurden. Das Unternehmen hat einen Bagger mobilisiert, um das Risiko umstürzender Bäume zu mindern. Ein Erkundungsbohrer erlitt Brandschäden, wird aber voraussichtlich bald wieder betriebsbereit sein. Der Waldbranddienst von B.C. schätzte die Brandfläche auf 596 Hektar vor sechs Tagen, und eine Evakuierungswarnung ist seit dem 23. Juli in Kraft.

ESTES PARK, CO / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2024 / Taranis Resources Inc. ("Taranis" or the "Company") (TSXV:TRO)(OTCQB:TNREF) is providing an update on the 2024 exploration program at Thor.
A large wildfire that burned through the entire Thor epithermal deposit has subsided to a point where exploration activities can be reinitiated on a limited basis. The wildfire caused significant damage to trees and other vegetation in the area, and roughly
The Company anticipates that drilling activities will restart Tuesday, once the areas where the drills are located are secured. The prime risk at this point is from falling trees, and to mitigate this concern an excavator was mobilized to the site to knock burned trees down and remove trees from some of the main access roads.
Despite the ferocity of the wildfire, none of Taranis' core infrastructure was damaged onsite. The core library, exploration camp and bridges constructed last summer were unaffected. One exploration drill obtained fire damage, but repairs are almost complete, and it is expected to be up and running today.
The B.C. wildfire service estimated the size of the burn six days ago at 596 Hectares. The affected area is being monitored daily by the government, and B.C. wildfire personnel have been extinguishing hotspots along the main access road to Thor. Taranis would like to thank the B.C. wildfire service for all its hard work monitoring and combating the fires in the Trout Lake area, and an Evacuation Alert remains in effect from July 23 that underscores the threat.
