/CNW/ - Talisker Resources Ltd. ("
Talisker
" or the "
Company
") (TSX:
TSK) (OTCQX: TSKFF) is pleased to announce the restart of drilling at its 100% owned flagship
Bralorne Gold Project. In addition, the Company has received high-grade results from drill hole SB-
2021-077A highlighted by
22.99 g/t Au over 2.0 metres within 2.89 g/t Au over 18.40 metres.
Key Points:
The Company has initiated drilling with a total of six drill rigs with a seventh starting later in the
month.
Hole SB-2021-077A intersected high-grade mineralization within a newly defined vein highlighted
by
22.99 g/t Au over 2.0 metres within a broader zone of 2.89 g/t Au over 18.40 metres.
Another new vein was intersected between 664.5 and 665 metres grading 9.08 g/t Au.
The 55FW vein was intersected between 900.28 and 901.3 metres grading 6.47 g/t Au.
SB-2021-077A is the 10
th
intersection on the 55FW vein.
The 53 vein was intersected at a depth of 1,007.7 metres and graded 35.40 g/t over 0.5 metres
within 3.14 g/t Au over 6.20 metres.
SB-2021-077A is the 34
th
intersection on the 53 vein highlighted by previously released results
of 6.83 g/t Au over 1.5 metres (hole SB-2020-008), 16.42 g/t Au over 1.10 metres (hole SB-
2021-012) and 8.67 g/t Au over 1.25 metres within 2.04 g/t Au over 15.10 metres (hole SB-
2021-049).
The Company continues to advance rapidly to its maiden resource for the Bralorne Gold Project
expected during Q2 2022.
Terry Harbort
, President and CEO of Talisker commented, "We are very pleased to be starting
drilling again at Bralorne following what was a challenging 2021 for our communities, staff and the
junior exploration industry as a whole. Talisker advanced strongly last year with our drill program and
we invisage a further
20,000m
to reach our planned resource target."
A total of 83,847 metres consisting of 164 holes of a planned and fully funded 100,000 metres was
drilled at the Bralorne Gold Project in 2021 with a total of 104,162 metres (197 holes) completed
since Talisker initiated drilling in
February 2020
. A total of 28,833 samples are currently at the
assay laboratory and are expected to be received by the Company shortly.
SB-2021-077A Hole Description
Complete results have been received for this hole.
Located in the Bralorne West block and centrally located within the Bralorne Diorite intrusive.
Broad zones of mineralization related to a new vein intersected from 222.10 to
240.00m
.
55 Footwall vein intersected from 900.28 to
901.82m
.
53 vein intersected from 1,007.70 to
1,009.00m
with visible gold.
Major vein structures intersected are 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.
Zones of broader mineralization are hosted in both the granitic intrusive and diorite as zones of
increased veinlet density associated with intense silica-sericite alteration and disseminated
pyrite-arsenopyrite mineralization.

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

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
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.
