Talisker Intercepts 1.98 g/t over 62.05 Metres at Pioneer Extending Mineralization to 600 Metres Along Strike
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 22, 2021 / Talisker Resources Ltd. (“ Talisker ” or the “ Company “) (TSX:TSK)(OTCQX:TSKFF) is pleased to announce results from drill hole SB-2021-069 at its 100% owned flagship Bralorne Gold Project. Hole SB-2021-069 is the second stepout hole located 600 metres to the northwest of previously released hole (SB-2021-025) and 400 metres from released holes SB-2021-26, 40, 48 and 55 targeting newly discovered bulk-tonnage mineralization at Pioneer.
Key Points:
- Hole SB-2021-069 intersected 1.98 g/t over 62.05m from 399.0 to 461.05m.
- Additional intercepts up-hole from the main intercept include 62.60 g/t over 0.5m within 5.65 g/t over 8.40m between 158.0 to 166.4m on the 222 Vein.
- Hole SB-2021-069 is located 400 metres along strike to the northwest from previously released holes SB-2021-026 (1.17 g/t Au over 106.75m), SB-2021-040 (1.02 g/t over 114.15m), SB-2021-048 (1 g/t over 116.25m) and SB-2021-055 (0.68 g/t over 51.50m and 0.87 g/t over 34.55m) which together confirmed a 1.1km vertical panel of mineralization from surface.
- SB-2021-069 is located 600m along strike to the northwest from previously released hole SB-2021-025 that intercepted 1.36 g/t over 68.9m within 0.8 g/t over 220m.
- Stepout hole SB-2021-063 drilled 400 metres to the northwest of hole SB-2021-025 is expected to be released to market shortly.
- Stepout hole SB-2021-072 drilled 800 metres northwest of hole SB-2021-025 is being processed at the lab with results expected shortly.
“We are very pleased with the increasing grade in the results received from hole 69 now confirming 100 gram-metre intercepts over 600 metres along strike”, stated Terry Harbort, President and CEO of Talisker, who added, “We are eagerly awaiting results from hole 72 which we believe will confirm this consistent near surface mineralization for a total strike length of 800m.”
A total of 58,221m consisting of 101 holes have been drilled this year out of a planned and fully funded 100,000 metre diamond drill program. Since acquiring the asset and commencing drilling in February 2020, Talisker has drilled 80,401m consisting of 137 holes. Five drill rigs are currently active at the Bralorne Gold Project. There are currently 28 holes consisting of 11,579 samples at the assay laboratory and are expected to be received by the Company shortly.

Sample Preparation and QAQC
Drill core at the Bralorne project is drilled in HQ to NQ size ranges (63.5mm and 47.6mm respectively). Drill core samples are minimum 50 cm and maximum 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 make up 9% of the samples submitted to the lab for holes reported in this release. Sample preparation and analyses is carried out by ALS Global 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 analysed 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 analysed 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.
Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information
Certain statements contained in this press release constitute forward-looking information. These statements relate to future events or future performance. The use of any of the words “could”, “intend”, “expect”, “believe”, “will”, “projected”, “estimated” and similar expressions and statements relating to matters that are not historical facts are intended to identify forward-looking information and are based on Talisker’s current belief or assumptions as to the outcome and timing of such future events.
