Talisker Resources Ltd. (“
Talisker” or the
“
Company”) (TSX: TSK, OTCQX: TSKFF) is pleased to
announce the acquisition of the Golden Hornet Project
(“
Golden Hornet”) post completion of the
previously announced option agreement. In connection with the
acquisition of Golden Hornet, Talisker also negotiated the purchase
of the 2% Net Smelter Royalty granted to Rich River Exploration
Ltd. in connection with the option agreement for total aggregate
consideration of $100,000, with 1% being purchased for cancellation
by Talisker in consideration for the payment of $38,000 in cash and
$12,000 through the issuance of 36,363 shares of Talisker at a
price of $0.33 per share (the “
Royalty Purchase”),
and the other 1% being purchased by Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd
(“
Osisko”) pursuant to a first right of refusal
granted under the royalty purchase agreement entered into between,
among others, the Company and Osisko, in December 2021 (the
“
RPA”) (see news release of December 6, 2021).
In accordance with the terms of the RPA and the
completion of the option agreement, Talisker and Osisko have
entered into a royalty agreement whereby Osisko will now hold a 2%
net smelter returns royalty on all production from Golden Hornet,
the Blue Jay and the Barnato properties.
Terry Harbort, CEO of Talisker stated, “Although
we remain squarely focused on the transition to gold production at
Bralorne, it is good to remind our shareholders of Talisker’s
extensive exploration portfolio in British Columbia and the
excellent results received from Golden Hornet, Talisker’s first
greenfields drill program.”
Golden Hornet is an advanced stage exploration
project where a 2022 drill program intersected high-grade gold in
the first four holes demonstrating the potential for a large,
kilometre scale mineralized system. Highlights of the initial drill
program include:
- Discovery of high-grade
fault-controlled quartz-sulphide breccias and veins, highlighted by
8.88 g/t Au, 0.42% Cu and 14.99 g/t Ag over 5.1 metres within a
broader zone of 2.59 g/t Au over 21.5 metres in GH-DDH-21-004.
- Hole GH-DDH-21-003 intercepted
11.58 g/t Au, 0.37% Cu and 11.1 g/t Ag over 1.05 metres.
- Drilling also intersected broader
zones of mineralization, including 9.99 g/t Au over 0.5 metres
within 0.82 g/t Au over 10.3 metres (GH-DDH-21-003) and 0.96 g/t Au
over 6.67 metres (GH-DDH-21-001).
- A total of 4,853 metres of NQ
drilling was completed in 14 holes to a maximum depth of 431
metres.
- Ten holes drilled in the central
Hornet Zone (3,568 metres) intersected semi-massive sulphide
mineralization in every hole.
- Four holes drilled in the Iron
Canyon Zone (1,015 metres), a 1,000-metre step-out to the
northwest, intersected semi-massive and breccia-hosted sulphide
mineralization in every hole.

Caution Regarding Forward Looking
Statements
Certain statements contained in this press
release constitute forward-looking information. These statements
relate to future events or future performance. The use of any of
the words “could”, “intend”, “expect”, “believe”, “will”,
“projected”, “estimated” and similar expressions and statements
relating to matters that are not historical facts are intended to
identify forward-looking information and are based on Talisker’s
current belief or assumptions as to the outcome and timing of such
future events. Various assumptions or factors are typically applied
in drawing conclusions or making the forecasts or projections set
out in forward-looking information. Those assumptions and factors
are based on information currently available to Talisker. Although
such statements are based on reasonable assumptions of Talisker’s
management, there can be no assurance that any conclusions or
forecasts will prove to be accurate. In particular, the Company
advises that it does not have defined mineral reserves and it has
not based its production decision on a feasibility study of mineral
reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability, and, as a
result, there may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any
particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such
recovery, including increased risks associated with developing a
commercially mineable deposit.
Forward looking information involves known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the
actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Such
factors include risks inherent in the exploration, development and
operation of mineral deposits, including risks relating to changes
in project parameters as plans continue to be redefined, risks
relating to variations in grade or recovery rates, risks relating
to changes in mineral prices and the worldwide demand for and
supply of minerals, risks related to increased competition and
current global financial conditions, access and supply risks,
reliance on key personnel, operational risks regulatory risks,
including risks relating to the acquisition of the necessary
licenses and permits, financing, capitalization and liquidity
risks, title and environmental risks and risks relating to the
failure to receive all requisite shareholder and regulatory
approvals. Furthermore, historically, projects that are in
production without defined mineral reserves have a much higher risk
of economic and technical failure. There is no guarantee that
production will begin as anticipated or at all or that anticipated
production costs will be achieved.
The forward-looking information contained in
this release is made as of the date hereof, and Talisker is not
obligated to update or revise any forward-looking information,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
except as required by applicable securities laws. Because of the
risks, uncertainties and assumptions contained herein, investors
should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. The
foregoing statements expressly qualify any forward-looking
information contained herein.
