Talisker Intersects 42.61 g/t Au over 1.3 Metres Within 15.51 g/t Au over 3.70 Metres at the Bralorne Gold Project

October 27, 2022

Canada NewsWire

TORONTO , Oct. 27, 2022 /CNW/ - Talisker Resources Ltd. (" Talisker " or the " Company ") (TSX: TSK) (OTCQX: TSKFF) is pleased to announce high-grade results from the North Vein located within the historic King mining block. The results are the final assays received from the 2022 pre-resource drill program that were re-assayed following initial laboratory failure of QAQC.

Key Points:
  • Holes SB-2022-032, 036, 044, 053, 063 and 068A are located within the King Mining Block and focuses on the King, North and C Veins.
  • Hole SB-2022-053 is highlighted by:
    • 42.61 g/t Au over 1.30 metres within 15.51 g/t Au over 3.70 metres (North Vein)
  • Hole SB-2022-032 intersected a total of three veins highlighted by:
    • 12.04 g/t Au over 3.60 metres within a broader zone of 2.44 g/t Au over 22.50 metres (New Vein)
    • 13.72 g/t Au over 1.20 metres (243 Vein)
    • 12.14 g/t Au over 1.00 metres (North Vein)
  • Hole SB-2022-068A is highlighted by:
    • 19.17 g/t Au over 2.35 metres (North Vein)
  • Hole SB-2022-063 is highlighted by:
    • 11.48 g/t Au over 1.00 metres ( King Vein )
    • 6.15 g/t Au over 1.50 metres (King Splay)
  • Talisker drilling to date at the Bralorne Gold Project has produced 401 vein intersections with a combined weighted average diluted grade of 9.45 g/t over an average intersection length of 1.73 metres.

Terry Harbort , President and CEO of Talisker, commented, "These final results continue to demonstrate the consistent high-grade nature of the veins at the Bralorne Gold Project. Despite delays caused by these assay re-runs and the new requirement to conduct stope optimization of inferred resource to meet the "Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction" guidelines, we expect to release our maiden resource statement in November and to meet our anticipated range. With the entire resource located from surface to 700m depth, approximately 70% represents brand new discovered ounces with minimal or no historic activity, 20% represents resource along strike from historic stopes and 10% is remnant ore bodies.  Of the 86 veins now identified at Bralorne, 74 are open in all directions indicating the clear near-term resource expansion upside."

A total of 140,476 metres (286 holes) has been drilled since Talisker initiated drilling at the Project in February 2020 .

Qualified Person

The technical information contained in this news release relating to the drill results at the Bralorne Gold Project has been approved by Leonardo de Souza (BSc, AusIMM (CP) Membership 224827), Talisker's Vice President, Exploration and Resource Development, who is a "qualified person" within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

About Talisker Resources Ltd.

Talisker (taliskerresources.com) is a junior resource company involved in the exploration of gold projects in British Columbia, Canada . Talisker's projects include two advanced stage projects, the Bralorne Gold Complex and the Ladner Gold Project, both advanced stage projects with significant exploration potential from historical high-grade producing gold mines, as well as its Spences Bridge Project where the Company holds ~85% of the emerging Spences Bridge Gold Belt, and several other early-stage Greenfields projects. With its properties comprising 304,931 hectares over 500 claims, three leases and 197 crown grant claims, Talisker is a dominant exploration player in south-central British Columbia .

Sample Preparation and QAQC

Drill core at the Bralorne Gold Project is drilled in HQ to NQ size ranges (63.5mm and 47.6mm, respectively). Drill core samples are a minimum of 50 cm and a maximum of 160 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 9% of the samples submitted to the lab for holes reported in this release. ALS Global performs sample preparation and analyses in North Vancouver, British Columbia . Drill core sample preparation includes drying in an oven at a maximum temperature of 60°C, fine crushing of the sample to at least 70% passing less than 2 mm, sample splitting using a riffle splitter, and pulverizing a 250 g split to at least 85% passing 75 microns (ALS code PREP-31). Gold in diamond drill core is analyzed by fire assay and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) of a 50g sample (ALS code Au-AA26), while multi-element chemistry is analyzed by 4- Acid digestion of a 0.25 g sample split with detection by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) for 48 elements (Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, Ga, Ge, Hf, In, K, La, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Nb, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, Re, S, Sb, Sc, Se, Sn, Sr, Ta, Te, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W, Y, Zn, Zr). Gold assay technique (ALS code Au-AA26) 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 (ALS method Au-GRA22) which has an upper detection limit of 10,000 ppm Au.
