Talisker Resources Announces High Grade Gold Near Surface on the 55HW Vein

Rhea-AI Summary

Talisker Resources Ltd. (TSKFF) reported high-grade gold results at its Bralorne Gold Project, with a standout intersection of 23.05 g/t Au over 6.95 metres. This result was obtained from hole SB-2022-003 in the Bralorne West block targeting the 55HW vein. To date, the project has yielded 307 vein intersections with an average grade of 8.49 g/t over 1.83 metres. Talisker is currently expanding its drilling operations with eight diamond drills in operation and over 128,491 metres of drilling completed since February 2020.

Positive

• High-grade intersection of 23.05 g/t Au over 6.95 metres in the 55HW vein.
• 307 vein intersections at an average grade of 8.49 g/t Au over an average length of 1.83 metres.
• Increasing drilling activity with eight diamond drills currently operating.

Negative

• None.

TORONTO, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Talisker Resources Ltd. ("Talisker" or the "Company") (TSX: TSK) (OTCQX: TSKFF) is pleased to announce further high grade results from the Bralorne West area highlighted by 23.05 g/t Au over 6.95 metres at its 100% owned flagship Bralorne Gold Project.

Key Points:

• The hole in this release is located within the Bralorne West block. The principal targets were the 55HW and 55 veins.
• Hole SB-2022-003 intersected 23.05 g/t Au over 6.95 metres close to the surface (125.2-132.15 metres depth) in the 55HW vein.
• This increases the total intersects on the 55HW Vein to 53 with previously released high grade results including 38.01 g/t Au over 1.55 metres (SB-2021-100) and 33.44 g/t Au over 1.00 metres (SB-2021-058).
• Talisker drilling to date at the Bralorne Gold Project has produced 307 vein intersections with a combined weighted average diluted grade of 8.49 g/t over an average intersection length of 1.83 metres.

Terry Harbort, Talisker CEO and President commented, "At just approximately 100m vertical from surface (125m downhole) this headline intercept demonstrates easily accessable high grade mineralization over a considerable intercept length. The remaining pierce points for the 55HW vein will target additional close to surface vein material completing an extensive mineralized panel down to 600 metres depth for this structure."

Eight diamond drills are now operating at the Bralorne Gold Project. A total of 128,491 metres (269 holes) has been drilled since Talisker initiated drilling at the Bralorne Gold Project in February 2020. Currently, there are 4,762 samples at the assay laboratory, which are expected to be received by the Company shortly.

SB-2022-003 Hole Description

• Complete results received
• Located in the Bralorne West block and intersected dioritic intrusive
• 55HW Vein intersected as a bifurcated structure from 125.20 to 126.75 m and 129.75 to 132.15 m
• 55 Vein intersected from 144.85 to 147 m

Major vein structures intersected are considered classic Bralorne crack-seal quartz-carbonate veins with densely banded sulphide septae. Crack-seal septae host fine-grained arsenopyrite and pyrite mineralization.  Alteration halos consist of strong silica-sericite±mariposite alteration halos.

Sample Preparation and QAQC

Diamond drilling 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, Canada and SGS Canada in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. 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 / SGS code PRP89). Gold in diamond drill core is analyzed by fire assay and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) of a 50g sample (ALS code Au-AA26 / SGS code GO_FAA50V10), 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 / SGS code FAA50V10) 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 / SGS method GO_FAG50V) which has an upper detection limit of 1,000 ppm Au. Samples where visible gold was observed are sent directly to screen metallics analysis and all samples that fire assay above 1 ppm Au are re-analysed with method (ALS code Au-SCR24 / SGS code - 6 - GO_FAS50M) which employs a 1kg pulp screened to 100 microns with assay of the entire oversize fraction and duplicate 50g assays on the undersize fraction. Where possible all samples initially sent to screen metallics processing will also be re-run through the fire assay with gravimetric finish provided there is enough material left for further processing
