Talisker Announces Confirmation of Near Surface Bulk Tonnage Gold Mineralization at the Charlotte Zone, Bralorne Gold Project
TORONTO, Feb 2, 2021 - Talisker Resources Ltd. ("Talisker" or the "Company") (TSX:TSK)(OTCQX:TSKFF) is pleased to announce the confirmation of near-surface bulk tonnage gold mineralization at the Charlotte Zone, located directly above the high-grade veins that are the primary focus of the 2021 resource drill program. Extensive near-surface gold mineralization was first intersected during the Company's validation drill program last year and comprises a series of shallow-dipping, stacked quartz veins. Key Points:
- Talisker confirms near surface bulk tonnage gold mineralization at the Charlotte Zone from surface to a vertical depth of beyond 250m.
- 25 intersects from 14 drill holes have defined a broad zone with multiple gold-bearing structures over a strike length of 600m, a width of 270m and extending at least 300m down plunge from surface.
- The Charlotte zone has been confirmed by field mapping to outcrop at surface.
- Gold mineralization is hosted by four shallow-dipping, parallel structures that dip approximately 40 degrees to the northwest.
- A 15,000m core relog and re-sample program has been initiated to identify other areas with near-surface bulk-tonnage potential.
While the high-grade veins remain the primary focus of Talisker's resource drill program, the Charlotte Zone presents opportunity for significant previously overlooked additional upside. Given the Charlotte Zone is situated adjacent to and immediately above the high-grade veins, no change to the already outlined 50,000m drill program is required.
Highlights from previously released assay results from the Charlotte Zone are provided below and all results are provided in table 1 below.
Charlotte Zone Highlights (previously released):
- SB-2020-005A: 10.47 g/t gold over 10.30m, from 102.70m to 113.0m
- SB-2020-007: 3.36 g/t gold over 7.50m from 23.05m to 60.55m
- SB-2020-009: 2.56 g/t gold over 14.25m, from 208.00m to 222.25m
- SB-2020-015: 3.96 g/t gold over 20.20m, from 138.00m to 158.00m
- SB-2020-017A: 1.06 g/t gold over 13.55m, from 470.00m to 483.55m
- SB-2020-019: 2.50 g/t gold over 10.00m, from 201.00 to 211.00m
- SB-2020-021: 1.55 g/t gold over 36.95m, from 208.45 to 245.40m
- SB-2020-023: 1.16 g/t gold over 38.00m, from 80.50m to 118.50m
- SB-2020-023: 1.69 g/t gold over 13.35m from 407.00m to 420.35m
Recent results announced on January 19th (SB-2020-021) and earlier today (SB-2020-023) represent 95% true width of the veins given they were drilling perpendicular to the dip of the structure.
Terry Harbort, President and CEO of Talisker commented, "We are extremely excited about the potential optionality that the near surface bulk tonnage gold mineralization discovered at the Charlotte Zone could potentially add to the high-grade gold veins that we are currently focusing on for our resource estimate. Importantly, the vein structures hosting the gold mineralization at Charlotte occur as shallow-dipping vein structures that bode well for any future bulk tonnage/open pit economic assessment. Furthermore, the widths quoted from recent drilling at Charlotte were drilled perpendicular to the orientation of the vein structures and therefore represent 95% true widths."
While the Charlotte Zone was only recently identified by drilling conducted by Talisker last year, a detailed review of the historical drill database has revealed other zones of possible near surface gold mineralization which were not followed-up by previous operators due to their selective focus on higher-grade material at depth. Samples from this historic drill core are currently awaiting assay at the laboratory and will aid in the rapid confirmation of additional zones.
To aid in the clarity of drill results targeting both high grade and bulk tonnage targets, the technical team has provided a new template and naming convention for the Bralorne Gold Project that will be used for future press releases. Attached to this press release are three figures that illustrate the Charlotte Zone:
- Figure 1 shows the Bralorne Gold Project and the six zones demarking the high-grade vein zones at depth - Fergusson, King, Bralorne West, Bralorne East, Pioneer and Pioneer Extension, as well as the near surface bulk tonnage Charlotte Zone (in red), nearby surface infrastructure and major quartz vein structures in white projected to surface. The 50,000m drill program has also been outlined into their respective zones.
- Figure 2 shows the approximate target depths of near surface bulk tonnage gold mineralization (surface to 300m), high grade veins targeted for the current resource drill program (300m to 750m) and high-grade veins at depth that could be drilled but will not be the focus of resource infill drilling in 2021 (750m to ~2,000m).
- Figure 3 shows drill hole traces of drill holes into the Charlotte Zone to date.
While the Charlotte Zone presents a significant potential to provide optionality to any future economic considerations on the Bralorne Gold Project and overall growth of the Company, Talisker has not changed its view on the high-grade veins below. Instead, the Charlotte Zone could provide the opportunity to accelerate its previously announced resource drill program given the shallower drilling and likely wider drill spacing required to achieve a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate at the Bralorne Gold Project.

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.
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 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 3 m 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, at their laboratory in North Vancouver, 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 (code PREP-31).
Gold and in diamond drill core is analysed by fire assay and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) of a 50g sample (code Au-AA24), 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 Au-AA24 has an upper detection limit of 10ppm. Any sample that produces an over-limit gold value via the Au-AA24 technique is sent for gravimetric finish via method Au-GRA22 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 3 ppm Au are re-analysed with method Au-SCR24 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.
