TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 9, 2021 / Talisker Resources Ltd. (" Talisker " or the " Company ") (TSX:TSK)(OTCQX:TSKFF ) is pleased to announce results from drill hole SB-2021-16A at its 100% owned flagship Bralorne Gold Project. Five diamond drill rigs are currently drilling at Bralorne with a total of 55,500 metres consisting of 95 holes of a planned and fully funded 100,000 metre drill program being completed. A total of 77,680 metres (131 holes) have been drilled by Talisker since the Company initiated drilling at the project in February 2020. Twenty-six holes consisting of 11,987 samples are currently at the assay laboratory and are expected to be received by the Company shortly.
Key Points:
- Successful intercept targeting the 53 Vein returning 27.71 g/t gold over 0.9m within 12.46 g/t gold over 2.2m.
- A broad mineralized halo surrounded the 53 vein returning 5.64g/t gold over 5.10m.
- Previous intercepts in the 53 Vein are highlighted by hole SB-2020-015 (19.95 g/t over .65m), SB-2021-003A (6.01 g/t over 2.9m) and SB-2021-023 (8.08 g/t over 1.4m)
- Hole SB-2021-16A increases the number of intercepts for the 53 vein to 11 with a remaining five yet to be drilled this year to complete the resource drillout for this vein.
SB-2021-016A
- Bralorne West Block
- Complete preliminary results have been received for this hole.
- The 53 Vein was intersected at 585.9m depth and produced 27.71 g/t Au over 0.9m within 12.46 g/t gold over 2.2 m.
- The 53 vein was intersected in a hydrothermally altered diorite and depicts the classic Bralorne crack and seal vein textures seen throughout the deposit. Crack and seal textures within the 53 vein are depicted as parallel bands that host fine grained pyrite and arsenopyrite. Mariposite is also present within the crack and seal bands. Mariposite is a common hydrothermal mineral indicative of gold bearing fluids within the Bralorne Mine Block. An intermediate to mafic dyke truncates the 53 vein at the footwall.
- This hole drilled to a final depth of 602.2m on March 17, 2021.

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 mineralisation. 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.
