Taranis Commences Drilling at Midway East Project

LAKEWOOD, CO - Taranis Resources Inc. reported that it has initiated drilling on its 100% owned Midway East Project located in Nye County, Nevada. WMC Drilling of Phoenix, will undertake a 5-6 hole exploration program aimed at identifying the source of a major gravity anomaly underlying the property located northeast of Tonopah, in Ralston Valley.

Taranis acquired the 60 unpatented lode mining claims in 2002, and holds a 100% interest in the Midway East project. The Midway East gravity feature was previously identified by the United States Geological Survey and measures approximately 5 by 4 km. The anomaly is partly explained by the presence of bedrock high located under shallow colluvial cover. The property is located 6 km northeast of the Midway Gold Project (Midway Gold Corporation), and has never been drill tested. A Very Low Frequency ("VLF") survey has identified a number of east-west trending anomalies that are potentially related to epithermal stockworks similar to those at the Midway Gold Project, and will be a top priority of the 2008 exploration drilling program. Taranis completed 36.2 km of gridding, magnetometer and VLF surveys and has also been able to identify several large magnetic lows potentially related to epithermal alteration and mineralization.
