TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / February 1, 2022 / Talisker Resources Ltd. ("Talisker" or the "Company") (TSX:TSK)(OTCQX:TSKFF) is pleased to announce high-grade results from multiple drill holes highlighted by 43.48 g/t Au over 1.30 metres (SB-2021-096) and 12.72 g/t Au over 1.50 metres within 8.43 g/t Au over 3.25 metres (SB-2021-096) on the 55 and 228 veins respectively at its 100% owned flagship Bralorne Gold Project.
Key Points:
- The drill holes disclosed in this release are located within the Bralorne West block and are focused on the 55 HW and 55 veins.
- Resource drilling completed on the 55 and 55HW veins now totals 48 holes.
- Hole SB-2021-096 and SB-2021-098 both intersected high-grade gold on the 55 vein highlighted by 43.48 g/t Au over 1.30 metres and 8.64 g/t Au over 1.00 metre, respectively.
- Hole SB-2021-096 also intercepted the 228 vein close to the surface which graded 12.72 g/t Au over 1.50 metres with a broader mineralized envelope of 8.43 g/t Au over 3.25 metres.
- SB-2021-098 intersected the 225 vein highlighted by 13.02 g/t Au over 1.00 metre and a new vein which graded 5.65 g/t over 1.00 metre.
Terry Harbort, CEO of Talisker commented, "With 48 drill holes now intercepting the 55 and 55HW veins, Talisker anticipates that these two structures will form a major component of our upcoming 2022 resource. With a large volume of assays recently received from the laboratory, we expect a steady newsflow of results as we complete the quality control process and release the results to market."
Seven diamond drills are now operating at the Bralorne Gold Project. A total of 109,207 metres (212 holes) has been drilled since Talisker initiated drilling at the Project in February 2020. Currently there are 1,434 samples at the assay laboratory which are expected to be received by the Company shortly.

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 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
