TORONTO, April 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Talisker Resources Ltd. (“Talisker” or the “Company”) (TSX:TSK | OTCQB:TSKFF) is pleased to announce results from the initial 25 drill holes from early 2026, predominantly targeting dip and strike extensions in the major ore veins at its currently producing Mustang Mine.

• SB-2026-007 - 16.60 g/t Au over 0.65 m within 6.50 g/t Au over 2.50 m on the 55HW Vein
• SB-2026-008 - 16.50 g/t Au over 0.50 m within 4.92 g/t Au over 2.55 m on the 55HW Vein
• UB-2026-008 - 21.60 g/t Au over 0.80 m within 8.55 g/t Au over 2.05 m on the BK Vein
• UB-2026-012 - 30.70 g/t Au over 0.88 m within 10.82 g/t Au over 2.60 m on the BK Vein
• UB-2026-013 - 22.50 g/t Au over 1.00 m within 16.72 g/t Au over 3.00 m on the BK Vein
  

A total of eight surface diamond drill holes, comprising 3,188 metres of drilling, were completed from a single drill pad in the Bralorne West zone. In addition, underground drilling from one diamond drill bay at Mustang 1055 Level resulted in 17 diamond drill holes totaling 1,847 metres. The surface drilling is focused on infill drilling Bralorne West’s 101, 55 HW, 276, and 55 veins. The underground holes in this release were focused on infill drilling of the BK and BK-9870 vein to the east of the main Mustang workings.

Kyle Orr, Talisker’s Vice President Exploration commented, “Diamond drilling at Bralorne is off to a great start in 2026. We continue to see excellent gold grades and are especially excited about how the Bralorne West infill zone is shaping up. The new Bralorne West decline is about 200 metres away from our first underground drill bay in the Bralorne West zone. Putting an additional underground drill here will allow us to continue infill drilling this zone with increased efficiency.”

Two drills (one underground and one surface) are currently active on the project and have been operating continuously since early 2026. A third drill (underground) is anticipated to arrive in early to mid Q2 2026 and will be positioned in the Mustang Down ramp first to drill below the current resource on Alhambra, BK, and BK-9870, and then will move to the Bralorne West decline to continue delineation drilling of this zone above the 980 Level. Detailed geotechnical core drilling from surface in the Bralorne West zone is planned to begin in mid-April.

All drill holes in this release are located in the Mustang Mine and hosted in diorite intrusive and/or intermediate to felsic dykes. Major vein structures intersected are orogenic quartz-carbonate veins with banded sulfide septae. Crack-seal septae host fine-grained arsenopyrite and pyrite mineralization. Alteration halos consist of strong silica – sericite ± mariposite alteration with disseminated sulfides.

Complete collar coordinates with collar orientations, and all gold assay results from publicly released 2026 drill holes are now available on the Company’s website.

About Talisker Resources Ltd.

Talisker (taliskerresources.com) is a junior resource company involved in the exploration and development of gold projects in British Columbia, Canada. Talisker’s flagship asset is the high-grade, fully permitted Bralorne Gold Project where the Company is producing at the Mustang Mine. Talisker projects also include the Ladner Gold Project, an advanced stage project with significant exploration potential from an historical high-grade producing gold mine and the Spences Bridge Project where the Company has a significant landholding in the emerging Spences Bridge Gold Belt, and several other early-stage Greenfields projects.

Sample Preparation and QAQC

Drill core in this new release from the Bralorne Gold Project was drilled in NQ size (47.6mm) or HQ size (63.5mm). Drill core samples are a minimum of 50 cm and a maximum of 150 cm long along the core axis. Samples are focused on an interval of interest, such as a vein or zone of mineralization. Shoulder samples bracket the interval of interest such that a total sampled core length of not less than 3m both above and below the interval of interest must be assigned. Sample QAQC measures of unmarked certified reference materials (CRMs), blanks, and duplicates are inserted into the sample sequence and makeup 10% of the samples submitted to the lab for holes reported in this release. Actlabs performs sample preparation and analyses in Kamloops, British Columbia. Drill core sample preparation includes drying in an oven, crushing of the sample up to 80% passing 2 mm, sample splitting using a riffle splitter, and pulverizing a 1,000 g split to 95% passing 105 microns (ACT code RX1+1000). Gold in diamond drill core is analyzed by fire assay and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) of a 50g sample (ACT code 1A2-50-ORE). Gold assay technique 1A2-50-ORE has an upper detection limit of 100 ppm. Any sample that produces an over-limit gold value via the gold assay technique is sent for gravimetric finish (ACT method 1A3-50) which has an upper detection limit of 10,000 ppm Au. Where asymmetrically distributed native gold mineralization is observed by the core logging geologist, a “cut-line” may be drawn along the length of the core to guide the core cutter to evenly bisect that mineralization thereby helping to ensure a representative sample. Where no sample cut line is drawn by the geologist the standard procedure is to preserve the oriented core “backside line” or “bottom of hole” mark in the core box. Duplicates were sampled by taking a ¼ core primary sample and a ¼ core as the duplicate sample, thereby leaving a ½ core representative sample in the box. A photo archive exists for all core from before sampling.
