Feb. 28, 2022
/CNW/ - Talisker Resources Ltd. ("
Talisker
" or the "
Company
") (TSX: TSK) (OTCQX:
TSKFF) is pleased to announce further high-grade results from multiple drill holes highlighted by
38.00 g/t Au over 1.00
metres within 13.51 g/t Au over 3.00 metres
(SBP-2021-010) and
26.00 g/t Au over 1.00 metres
(SBP-2021-011) at
its 100% owned flagship Bralorne Gold Project.
Key Points:
The holes in this release are located within the Pioneer Block. The principal targets were the 77 and 51BFW veins.
Hole SBP-2021-008 intersected high-grade gold on the two veins highlighted by
27.30 g/t Au over 1.00 metres
within 14.20 g/t Au over 2.00 metres (New Vein) and 10.46 g/t Au over 1.00 metres (52 Vein).
Hole SBP-2021-010 intersected
38.00 g/t Au over 1.00 metres within 13.51 g/t Au over 3.00 metres
in a new
vein.
Hole SBP-2021-011 intersected
26.00 g/t Au over 1.00 metres within 14.10 g/t Au over 2.00 metres
in a new
vein.
All new veins are currently being modelled to understand the strike and dip potential.
Talisker drilling to date at the Bralorne Gold Project has produced 282 vein intersections with a combined weighted
average diluted grade of 8.32 g/t over an average intersection length of 1.86 metres.
Terry Harbort
, President and CEO of Talisker, commented, "The drill results coming out of the northwestern portion of the
Pioneer Block are opening up an underexplored historic ownership gap zone, showing high-grade veins with good
mineralization widths. We see this area as having significant potential to substantially increase the resource base moving
forward."
Seven diamond drills are now operating at the Bralorne Gold Project. A total of 116,030 metres (227 holes) has been
drilled since Talisker initiated drilling at the Bralorne Gold Project in
February 2020
. Currently, there are 5,221 samples at
the assay laboratory, which are expected to be received by the Company shortly.

About Talisker Resources Ltd.
Talisker (
taliskerresources.com
)
is a junior resource company involved in exploring gold projects in
British Columbia,
Canada
. Talisker's projects include two advanced-stage projects, the Bralorne Gold Complex and the Ladner Gold
Project, both advanced-stage projects with significant exploration potential from historical high-grade producing gold
mines, as well as its Spences Bridge Project, where the Company holds ~85% of the emerging Spences Bridge Gold Belt
and several other early-stage Greenfields projects. With its properties comprising 296,983 hectares over 346 claims,
three leases and 198 crown grant claims, Talisker is a dominant exploration player in south-central
British Columbia
. The
Company is well funded to advance its aggressive, systematic exploration program at its 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 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
