Talisman Mining Limited (ASX: TLM ) is pleased to advise that it has received assay results for the first diamond exploration drill-hole completed recently at the Delphi North Prospect , located approximately 4km south of the Sinclair nickel mine at its 100%-owned Sinclair Nickel Project in WA ( see Appendix 1 ) ( see Table 2 ).

Delphi North Prospect

The exploration target at Delphi North ( see Figures 1 & 2 ) comprises two refined historical down-hole electromagnetic (DHEM) anomalies, plus a newly identified moving loop electromagnetic (MLEM) anomaly identified from the recent MLEM surface survey conducted by Talisman.

Assay results have been returned from diamond drill hole, SND001 ( see Figures 1 and 2 and Table 2 ) which targeted the interpreted MLEM anomaly. The hole intersected a number of massive, matrix and breccia sulphide horizons in a deformed sequence of host ultramafic and basaltic rock units ( see ASX announcement dated 20[th] October 2015 ).

Figure 1: Delphi Prospect interpretive plan showing a close-up of the Delphi North Prospect & SND001

The assay results confirm that SND001 has intersected a zone a nickel sulphide mineralisation with final assays returning an overall intercept of:

  • 2.2 metres grading 1.9% Ni from 396.9 metres down-hole ( true width not known at this time; top of the intersection is approximately 348 metres below surface )

Narrow zones of massive nickel sulphides within the overall intersection reported above returned assay results including:

  • 0.6m @ 2.19% Ni from 396.9m down-hole ( true width not known at this time) ; and

  • 0.5m at 2.94% Ni from 398.6m down-hole ( true width not known at this time ).

==> picture [67 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [66 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [76 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

The main sulphide intersection within the hole is represented by a total of 1.4 metres of massive, matrix and breccia sulphides within a 2.2 metre interval with narrow zones of strongly foliated basaltic rocks from 396.9m to 399.1m down-hole ( true width not known at this time ). The vertical depth of this intersection is approximately 348 metres below surface.

A second, narrow zone of 0.5 metres of matrix style sulphides reported from 419.5m down-hole did not return any significant nickel assay results. Narrow massive nickel sulphide intersections from historical drilling at the Delphi North prospect include 0.44m at 5.43% Ni and 0.32m at 2.99% Ni.

A second diamond drill hole, SND002, has recently been completed approximately 100 metres south of SND001. This hole intersected a narrow zone of stringer sulphides within a highly deformed, complex sequence of ultramafic, basaltic and sedimentary rock units. While the stringer sulphides intersected by this hole are not interpreted to host significant mineralisation, the hole demonstrates the continuity of the fertile ultramafic horizon at Delphi North.

Nickel sulphide mineralisation has now been identified over a 600 metre strike length at Delphi North, providing significant encouragement for the exploration potential of the prospect.

The prospect area is complexly folded and the mineralised host sequences are faulted. The Company’s geological team will continue to undertake a detailed interpretation and evaluation of the prospect based on these results in order to develop a more complete understanding of Delphi North and its potential to host economic nickel sulphide mineralisation.

Both drill holes completed to date at Delphi North have been cased with PVC to facilitate a downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) survey. DHEM surveys will be conducted following completion of the current exploration drilling program as part of a wider series of DHEM surveys to be undertaken across the various exploration targets.

Next Steps

In light of the current market conditions and depressed nickel prices, Talisman has decided to rationalise the current exploration program at Sinclair by focusing only on the highest priority exploration targets at this time.

While all of the planned drill-holes remain valid exploration targets, drilling will focus on those targets which have been assessed by Talisman’s exploration team as offering the best opportunities to make an economic discovery in the short term.

This is consistent with the Company’s desire to preserve its strong cash position and focus its available resources on projects and opportunities most likely to enhance shareholder value in the current market environment.

The diamond drill rig has now moved to test high priority exploration targets at the Cody Well and Fly Bore Prospects before potentially returning to Delphi.

Appendix 2 – JORC Table 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data (Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry
standard
measurement
tools
appropriate to the minerals under investigation,
such
as
down-hole
gamma
sondes,
or
handheld
XRF
instruments,
etc.).
These
examples should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or
systems used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report. In cases
where ‘industry standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Sampling techniques employed at the Sinclair project include saw cut
Diamond Drill core (DD) samples and Reverse Circulation (RC) rock
chip samples.
Diamond core is NQ2 size and is sampled on geological intervals (0.2
m to 2 m); cut into half (NQ2) to give sample weights under 3kg. RC
drill samples were collected using a riffle splitter for each metre drilled.
Semi-quantitative hand held XRF analysis of RC chips and diamond
core is carried out routinely to assist with geological logging and
identification of samples to submit for quantitative laboratory analysis.
No results from hand held XRF analysis are reported.
Sampling is guided by Talisman Mining Ltd procedures and QAQC as
per industry standard.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter,
triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails,
face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc.).
The current drilling program at Sinclair is being completed using both
Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond Drilling (DD) techniques as
appropriate.
RC drilling techniques are being employed to provide both pre-collars
for diamond drill tails and to directly intersect drill targets dependant on
target depth and drilling conditions. RC drilling is conducted using face
sampling configurations with a nominal hole diameter of 140mm.
The current surface Diamond Drilling (DD) on the Sinclair Project is
being completed with NQ2 diameter holes using conventional wireline
drilling techniques.
All drill core is routinely orientated where possible at nominal 6m
intervals using a Reflex ACT core orientation system.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and
chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery
and ensure representative nature of the
samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias
may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain
of fine/coarse material.
TLM diamond core and RC sample recoveries are logged and recorded
in a Datashed database. Historic core recoveries have been >95%.
TLM Diamond core is reconstructed into continuous runs on an angle
iron cradle for orientation marking. Depths are checked against the
depth given on the core blocks and rod counts are routinely carried out
by the drillers.
For RC drilling the volume of sample material collected is routinely
inspected and recorded on a metre by metre basis, and indicates
approximate sample recovery. Actual sample weights are routinely
recorded at the laboratory and stored in the database.
No known relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and
no sample bias is known.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.)
photography.
The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
TLM logging records lithology, mineralogy, mineralisation, alteration,
structure, weathering, colour and other primary features of the rock
samples and is considered to be representative across the intercepted
geological units.
Logging is both qualitative and quantitative depending on the field being
logged.
All drill holes are logged in full to end of hole.
DD core is routinely photographed digitally.

Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or
dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material collected,
including
for
instance
results
for
field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the
grain size of the material being sampled.
Diamond core is NQ2 size, sampled on geological intervals (0.2 m to 2
m) and sawn in half with an Almonte core saw to give sample weights
under 3kg. Core orientation is completed where possible and
orientation lines guide sawing.
RC drill samples are collected using a riffle splitter for each metre
drilled. Composite samples are taken on occasion via a second
sampling chute or spear sample. The majority of RC samples are dry.
Samples are submitted to ALS Chemex Laboratories for preparation.
The sample preparation follows industry best practice where all drill
samples are dried, crushed and split to 1kg then dried, pulverized and
(>85%) sieved through 75 microns to produce a 1g charge for 4-acid
digest with an ICP-MS or AAS finish.
Field duplicates are routinely taken for both DD core and RC chip
samples. Talisman procedures include a minimum of one duplicate per
33 samples.
Sample size is considered appropriate for nickel mineralisation.
Quality of
assay data and
laboratory tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or
total.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld
XRF instruments, etc., the parameters used in
determining the analysis including instrument
make and model, reading times, calibrations
factors applied and their derivation, etc.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted
(e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and
precision have been established.
Drill samples are submitted to ALS Chemex Laboratories in Perth for
multi-element analysis using a 1g charge with a multi-acid digest and
ICP-MS or AAS finish (OG62). Analytes include Al, Fe, Mg, Mn, S, Ti,
Ag, As, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, V, Zn, Zr.
QAQC protocols for all drill sampling involve the use of Certified
Reference Material (CRM) as assay standards. The insertion ratio of
CRM standards is 1 in 33 with a minimum of two per batch. OREAS
and Geostats standards are selected on their grade range and
mineralogical properties.
All drill assays are required to conform to the procedural QAQC
guidelines as well as routine laboratory QAQC guidelines.
All QAQC controls and measures are routinely reviewed and reported
on a regular basis. Historic results for all standards and duplicates
indicate most performing well within the two standard deviation limit.
Lab checks (repeats) occur at a frequency of 1 in 25. These alternate
between both the pulp and crush stages.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by
either independent or alternative company
personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
Significant intercepts have been reviewed by alternate Talisman
personnel
No twinned holes are being drilled as part of this program.
Logging and sampling data is captured and imported using Maxwell
LogChief software.
All drillhole, sampling and assay data is stored in a SQL server
(Datashed) database. Assay data is reviewed via DataShed, QAQCR
and other customised software and databases. Datashed software has
numerous validation checks which are completed at regular time
intervals.
Primary assay data is always kept and is not replaced by any adjusted
or interpreted data.
Location of
data points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate
drill holes (collar and down- hole surveys),
trenches, mine workings and other locations
used in Mineral Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
Drillholes are located by hand held with an accuracy of +/-5m.
Downhole surveying is completed at regular 30m intervals using an
electronic single shot survey camera.
For the Sinclair Project the Coordinate system used is the Australian
Geodetic Datum (AGD84). Coordinates are in the Australian Map Grid
(AMG84) Zone 51.

Results.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological
and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource
and
Ore
Reserve
estimation
procedure(s) and classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
Exploration drill spacing is currently defined by geological and
geophysical target criteria and as such spacing and distribution is not
sufficient to support Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves.
No sample compositing has been applied to these exploration results.
Orientation of

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and
the extent to which this is known, considering
the deposit type.
If
the
relationship
between
the
drilling

of
key
mineralised structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this should be
assessed and reported if material.
The orientation of drilling is designed to intersect either geophysical
targets or geological targets at high angle in order to best represent
stratigraphy.
No significant orientation based sampling bias is known at this time.
Drill holes may not necessarily be oriented perpendicular to intersected
stratigraphy or mineralisation. All reported intervals are down-hole
intervals, not true widths.
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample security. Samples are stored at the Sinclair Nickel Mine Site prior to submission
under the supervision of senior staff. Samples will be transported to
ALS Perth by an accredited transport service. The assay laboratory
receipts received samples against sample dispatch documents and
reconciles every sample batch.
Audits or

such aggregation should be stated and some
typical examples of such aggregations should
be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly
stated.
 Significant intersections are based on greater than 0.5% Ni and may
include up to 1m of internal dilution, with a minimum composite grade of
1% Ni.
 Ni grades used for calculating significant intersections are uncut.
 A minimum diamond core sample interval of 0.15m and a maximum

Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths
and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important in
the reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill-hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole
lengths are reported, there should be a clear
statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length,
true width not known’).
 All intersections reported represent down-hole width of mineralisation,
not true width.
 The geometry of the mineralisation with respect to drill-holes is
unknown at this time.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales)
and tabulations of intercepts should be included
for any significant discovery being reported
These should include, but not be limited to a
plan view of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.
 Appropriate maps with scale are included within the body of the
accompanying document.
Balanced
reporting
Where
comprehensive
reporting
of
all
Exploration
Results
is
not
practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be practiced to
avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.
 The accompanying document is considered to represent a balanced
report.
Other
substantive
exploration

Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but not
limited
to):
