Talisker Intersects 27.3 g/t Au over 0.6 m in
First Drill Hole at Bralorne Gold Project
TORONTO
,
April 1, 2020
/CNW/ - Talisker Resources Ltd. ("Talisker" or the "Company") (CSE:
TSK) (OTCQB: TSKFF) is pleased to announce partial results from the first drill hole at the Bralorne
Gold Project located in British Columbia. Talisker is undertaking a
11,200m
drill program targeting
high-grade veins at the Project (see press release of
February 12
, 2020). The results from hole SB-
2020-001 are the first since Talisker acquired the Bralorne Gold Project in
December 2019
. The first
hole targeted the PHW, P Main and P Main splay, and the J Veins. Highlights include:
11.3 g/t Au over
0.9m
from
237.50m
to
238.40m
intersecting the PHW Vein
27.3 g/t Au over
0.6m
from
364m
to
364.6m
intersecting the P Main Vein Splay
3.42 g/t Au over
1.58m
from
437.92m
to
439.5m
intersecting the J Vein
16.45 g/t Au over
0.5m
from
447.9m
to
448.4m
intersecting the J Vein Splay
A void was encountered at the anticipated location of the P Main Vein.
In addition, significant gold mineralization was also identified for the first time in the altered halos
surrounding the veins in both footwall and hanging wall locations associated with intense silica-
sericite alteration. Highlights of non-vein mineralization include:
Hanging wall to the PHW Vein
1.4 g/t Au over
1m
from
235m
to
236m
2.13 g/t Au over
1.50m
from
236m
to
237.5m
Footwall to the PHW Vein
1.84 g/t Au over
0.5m
from
238.4m
to
238.9m
Hanging wall to the P Main Vein Splay
1.07 g/t Au over
1m
from
363m
to
364m
Footwall to the P Main Vein Splay
0.75 g/t Au over
1.1m
from
364.6m
to
365.7m
Hanging wall to the J Vein
1.09 g/t Au over
0.92m
from
437m
to
437.92m
Footwall to the J Vein
1.11 g/t Au over
1m
from
440m
to
441m
Select results from the first drill hole are listed in the following table and a map and cross section
displaying the location of the drill hole and mineralized intercepts is attached to this press release.
"We are very happy with the initial results from our first drill hole at Bralorne which clearly
demonstrates our proof of concept intersecting the veins as interpreted and returning high-grade
gold results as anticipated," commented
Terry Harbort
, President & CEO of Talisker, who added,
"We are additionally encouraged by the identification of mineralised halos adjacent to the veins. This
new observation has potential to allow us to decrease dilution during the resource modelling phase."

Notes: Diamond drill hole SB-2020-001 was collared at an azimuth of 203 degrees, and a downward dip of 60 degrees.
True widths are estimated at 70 - 90% of intercept lengths and are based on oriented core measurements.

. The Company is well funded to advance its
aggressive systematic exploration program at its projects.
Qualified Person
The technical information contained in this news release 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 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
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 8% of the samples submitted to the lab for hole SB-2020-001.
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.
