Talisker Intersects High Grade Gold on Newly
Defined 227 Vein at Bralorne West
TORONTO

Oct. 18, 2021
/CNW/ - Talisker Resources Ltd. ("
Talisker
" or the "
Company
") (TSX:
TSK) (OTCQX: TSKFF) is pleased to announce high grade results from drill hole SB-2021-054 at its
100% owned flagship Bralorne Gold Project. Five diamond drill rigs are currently drilling at Bralorne.
A total of 65,789 metres consisting of 118 holes of a planned and fully funded 100,000 metre drill
program has been drilled at the Bralorne Gold Project this year with a total of
87,960m
(154 holes)
since Talisker initiated drilling in
February 2020
. There are currently 24 holes consisting of 8,594
samples at the assay laboratory that the Company expects to be received shortly.
Talisker is concurrently drilling a high-grade narrow vein resource within
700m
from surface at
Bralorne and a close to surface (<
350m
) bulk tonnage resource at Pioneer.
Key Points:
Intersected a new vein highlighted by 148.5 g/t Au over
0.5m
within 49.6 g/t Au over
1.5m
.
Successful intercept targeting of the 101 Vein, 55 Vein and 55FW Vein returning 37.9 g/t Au
over
0.5m
within 6.73 g/t over
3.0m
(101 Vein), 9.8 g/t Au over
0.5m
(55 Vein) and 12.05 g/t Au
over
0.5m
(55FW Vein).
SB-2021-054 intersected near surface low-grade bulk-mineralization within the northwest
extension of the Pioneer granite grading 0.93 g/t Au over
27m
from 16 to 43 metres and 0.8 g/t
Au over
11m
from 83 to
94m
.
Previous intercepts in the 101 Vein include 7.79 g/t Au over
2.15m
(SB-2020-024) and 6.76 g/t
Au over
2.0m
(SB-2020-028).
This hole increases the number of intercepts for the 101 Vein to 14.
Previous intercepts on the 55 Vein include 43.64 g/t Au over
1.20m
(SB-2020-015), 9.54 g/t Au
over
1.90m
(SB-2021-017) and 12.75 g/t Au over
0.5m
(SB0-2021-058).
This hole increases the number of intercepts for the 55 Vein to 31.
The 55FW Vein is currently being modelled and is highlighted by 8.53 g/t Au over
1.0m
(SB-
2021-058).
Terry Harbort
, President and CEO stated, "The high-grade results highlighted by a more than five
ounces per tonne intercept on the 227 vein, a vein not historically mined, shows the immediate
upside potential at Bralorne being unlocked by our current drill program. We expect to receive more
similar results as congestion eases at the laboratory."
SB-2021-058 Hole Description:
Complete results have been received for this hole.
Located in the Bralorne West block on the northwest margin of the granitic intrusive.
Intersected multiple plugs of granitic intrusive hosted within diorite to
368.5m
followed by diorite
to completion at
707.2m
.
227 Vein intersected from 272.35 to
723.85 m
with visible gold.
101 Vein intersected from 523.3 to
523.8m
with visible gold.
55 Vein intersected from 615.5 to
616.5m
with visible gold.
55FW Vein intersected 628.3 to
628.8m
with visible gold.
Veins considered classic Bralorne crack-seal quartz-carbonate veins with densely banded
sulphide septae hosting fine-grained arsenopyrite and pyrite mineralization with strong silica-
sericite alteration halos.

Notes: Diamond drill hole SB-2021-054 has collar orientation of Azimuth 180; Dip -55. True widths are estimated at 40 - 90% of intercept lengths and are based on oriented core
measurements where available. Method Reported includes the most up to date information as of the date of this press release.
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.
About Talisker Resources Ltd.
Talisker (
taliskerresources.com
)
is a junior resource company involved in the exploration of 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 the
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 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.
