TORONTO, May 2, 2022
/PRNewswire/ - Talisker Resources Ltd. ("Talisker" or the
"Company") (TSX: TSK) (OTCQX: TSKFF) is pleased to provide a
detailed update on progress on the development of its maiden
resource at its 100% owned flagship Bralorne Gold Project. As part
of the update the Company has prepared a series of detailed long
sections of each vein showing drill hole pierce points along the
veins.
Key Points:
- Eleven veins are expected to form the basis of the upcoming
resource, six from the Bralorne area, two from King and three from
the Pioneer area
- Weighted average grades for the veins range from 6.2 g/t to
16.6 g/t with an overall average of 9.6 g/t
- Average vein widths range from 1.1m to 2.1m with
an average of 1.6m
- All defined veins are located from the surface to a depth of
700m
- Defined veins are extensions of known veins and are mostly
located within the gaps between the historic mines
The table below summarizes veins defined by the active drill
program with average strike length and plunge length, average vein
thickness and grade. The 11 figures attached are long sections of
each vein, showing target panels, composite grade and intercept
width, completed and planned drill hole pierce points colour coded
by gold gram metres and the drill hole name. All reported drill
assay results are available on the Company's website at the

*Average intercept is
diluted width and assumed to be 80-90% true width. Average
grade per vein is weighted by the thickness of each intersection
and does not consider de-clustering.

Dr. Terry Harbort, President and
CEO of Talisker, commented, "We are very pleased with the progress
of the resource highlighted by the 55HW and 77 veins which returned
weighted average grades of 15.2 g/t and 16.6 g/t gold,
respectively. We are particularly encouraged by the increased
average width of our drilled veins when compared to the
historically known averages. The strike and plunge dimensions of
the veins defined by our drilling strongly confirm the historically
demonstrated structural continuity of the host structures. As
a fully permitted high grade project in a Tier 1 jurisdiction, we
look forward to the completion of our drill program and finalizing
our maiden resource."
Multiple other veins have been intersected during the drill
program however the Company has not yet confirmed if these veins
will have a sufficient number of pierce points or sufficient pierce
point spacing to be included in the upcoming maiden resource
statement. The Company notes that the weighted average grades may
not reflect the final resource grade and are included as a guide to
shareholders only. Vein widths are drill hole intercept widths and
are estimated to represent 80 to 90% of the true vein width.
Talisker is providing an opportunity for shareholders and other
interested parties to participate in a Webinar to be held at
2 pm ET on Monday, May
9th. To register, please click on the following link

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 299,789 hectares over 484 claims, three leases and 197
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 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.
