Anima Gathering and torpor

Can a minion in torpor stay tapped via anima gathering & continue to confer its ability to the 2nd minion?

+1 stealth action.
Auspex(minor): Put this card on this acting vampire and choose another minion you control. Burn this card if this minion untaps. During your untap phase, you may choose not to untap this minion as normal. The chosen minion gets +2 intercept.
Auspex(superior): As above, and the chosen minion also gets +1 bleed.

Thanks in advance!

Perfectly correct
In fact, there was a deck that used to use Carver's, Isabel and Zoe to get untouchable +4 static intercept on Anneke, AND feed her blood. Nasty, nasty deck
