("Taranis" or the "Company") [TSX.V: TRO, OTCQB: TNREF] is pleased to provide an initial report on exploration conducted in 2023 at Thor. A high-priority electromagnetic ("EM") target located over 300m west of the Thor deposit, designated 'Horton', was evaluated and yielded promising exploration results. The entirety of the known Thor epithermal deposit occurs east of a major NNW-trending fault called the Ripper Fault. Horton is the first time any epithermal mineralization has been located west of the Ripper Fault. Mineralized boulders occur in a field which has been derived from an unknown source up the south side of Great Northern Mountain. If the source of the Horton boulder field can be located in bedrock, it means that the epithermal Mineral resource at Thor extends much further to the west than previously known, and this is graphically shown on a cross-section that can be found on the company's website. A map that highlights the features discussed in this News Release is attached, and additional information can be found at https://www.jjgmining.com/uploads/2/7/0/2/27029932/nr.jpg There are also additional images including cross-sections and photographs of some of the float samples on the website. Horton - Geophysical Features Horton is a circular feature, 600m in diameter visible on airphotos, and is surrounded by a number of EM anomalies. In May of 2022, an airborne magnetotelluric ("MT") and magnetic survey completed by Expert Geophysics ("EG") confirmed the presence of previously known strong EM-37 anomalies located on the NW edge of Horton. Data from VLF surveys completed in 2007 further corroborates the EM-37 and MT anomalies. The EG MT survey also identified a large resistive lobe-like feature located to the east of Horton. Taranis refers to the resistivity feature as "The Claw" owing to its distinctive, hand-like appearance. The Claw is interpreted to be a buried quartz-rich granitic body and associated silicification that underlies the known Thor epithermal deposit. Taranis has also been able to locate intrusive rocks at Thor in an old drill hole at Thor (Thor-210) and in surface prospecting, and this will be discussed in an upcoming News Release. Ripper Fault and the Gold Pit Knocker A group of conductive EM-37 anomalies aligned in a north-northwest-trend defines the Ripper Fault that also delineates the western edge of the known Thor epithermal deposit. In 2022, exposures were made of this fault and it shows a near-vertical attitude. In several places, the fault includes extremely high-grade gold and silver mineralization; it appears to be pieces of the Thor epithermal deposit that have been shredded and incorporated into the Ripper Fault. Discovery of High-Grade Boulders at Horton Taranis decided to investigate the conductive geophysical targets and identified a number of mineralized boulders (some weighing several tons). The boulders are mineralized with quartz-carbonate veining, pyrite, tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite, and occur topographically higher than the Thor epithermal deposit making it impossible to have been derived from the known deposit. That said, the origin of these mineralized boulders has not been located in bedrock as the area has upwards of 95% colluvium/rockslide material covering bedrock. Taranis completed additional rock, soil, stream sediment and VLF surveys over the area and the results and interpretation of this exploration work are in progress. The following table shows the initial eight float samples that were analyzed.

The metal content is also notably different from the main Thor deposit, showing enrichment of precious metals, elevated antimony content and depletion of base metals. It also matches the tenors and metal content of the mineralization found in Gold Pit - suggesting a geological link between Horton and Gold Pit. Comment John Gardiner, President and CEO of Taranis comments, "a big mystery with the epithermal deposit has been its low length/width ratio - in fact it is 1:10. If there is a downfaulted portion of the deposit to the west, then that ratio is going to be something more typical like a 1:4 or 1:3 ratio, and much closer to the ideal un-eroded 1:1 epithermal deposit that formed over an intrusive source. This has obvious consequences for the size of the Mineral Resource at Thor. In 2024, Taranis hopes to have permits to drill deep holes to the east of the deposit where we believe there is an intrusive body related to the overlying epithermal deposit. To be frank, we never followed up on the Horton Target because it was located off-trend from the main deposit. In hindsight, Horton makes perfect sense in the context of our linked porphyry-epithermal model of the Thor deposit, and we are very excited to begin systematic exploration of this target". Quality Control Sampling and collection of samples was undertaken and completed by John Gardiner. Float samples from the Thor Project are shipped to ALS Geochemistry ("ALS") Kamloops for preparation. Analyses are completed by ALS in Vancouver, which is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. Gold is determined using a one-tonne fire assay method, with an atomic absorption finish. Silver content is determined using Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy ("ICP"), and in cases where silver content exceeds 100 ppm, samples are gravimetrically reanalyzed where over limits are required. The content of other metals is also determined using ICP, and in cases where the metal content exceeds analytical limits, the sample is analyzed using ICP with a different set of calibration standards.
