Drilling set to commence at highly prospective Cumbine Gold Prospect, NSW

Approval received to test extensive gold-in-soil anomaly with 12-hole RC program

Further to its ASX announcement of 19 April 2021, Talisman Mining Ltd (ASX: TLM, Talisman ) is pleased to advise that it will shortly commence a reverse circulation ( RC ) drilling program to test the Cumbine gold prospect ( Cumbine ), part of its Lachlan Copper-Gold Project ( Lachlan Project ) in central NSW.

Talisman has received the required approval from the NSW Department of Planning, Industry & Environment ( DPIE ) for the program and drilling is scheduled to commence in the coming days.

The program will test a coherent and extensive gold-in-soil anomaly identified earlier this year which has a total strike extent of more than 650 metres .

Talisman’s >2,500km[2] Lachlan Project comprises a dominant position across the Northern Cobar Basin in NSW (refer Appendix 1 ) and includes numerous prospects located along the CanbelegoMineral Hill Volcanic Belt, which hosts the high-grade Mt Boppy gold deposit and the Mineral Hill gold and base metal deposit.

Cumbine Gold Prospect (EL8414 – TLM 80%)

The 650-metre-long soil anomaly was delineated from assay results received from a soil sampling program completed at Cumbine in early March 2021. Cumbine is located within the central portion of the Lachlan Project and forms part of Talisman’s joint venture with Peel Mining Limited (ASX: PEX, Peel ) (refer Appendix 1 ).

The main or central anomaly has not been drilled to date and a drilling approval application for a total of 12 RC percussion holes, comprising ~2,160m of drilling (see Figure 1), has now been approved by DPIE.

Site preparation is underway and the drilling contractor is currently mobilising to site.

Mapping completed over the prospect area identified a folded sequence of Devonian volcanic and sedimentary lithologies. The folded sequence has a shallow plunge to the NNW and has an upright axial planar cleave, also trending in an NNW orientation.

The mapping also identified several iron and manganese rich rock units or gossanous outcrops which have a strong spatial correlation to the gold anomalism identified from the soil sampling.

The gold-in-soil anomaly and potential gold mineralisation are interpreted to be hosted within the felsic volcanic units and close to the contact between the volcanic and sedimentary units. The strong linear NNW orientation of the anomaly is interpreted to be a result of structural control.

The controlling structure is interpreted to extend further south below the Bullock Creek drainage system and requires further exploration in the form of shallow regolith drilling.

About Talisman Mining

Talisman Mining Limited (ASX:TLM) is an Australian mineral development and exploration company. The Company’s aim is to maximise shareholder value through exploration, discovery and development of complementary opportunities in base and precious metals.

Talisman has secured tenements in the Cobar/Mineral Hill region in Central NSW through the grant of its own Exploration Licenses and through a joint venture agreement. The Cobar/Mineral Hill region is a richly mineralised district that hosts several base and precious metal mines including the CSA, Tritton, and Hera/ Nymagee mines. This region contains highly prospective geology that has produced many long-life, high-grade mineral discoveries. Talisman has identified a number of areas within its Lachlan Cu-Au Project tenements that show evidence of base and precious metals endowment which have had very little modern systematic exploration completed to date. Talisman believes there is significant potential for the discovery of substantial base metals and gold mineralisation within this land package and is undertaking active exploration to test a number of these targets.

Talisman also has a majority participating interest in a joint venture with privately-owned Lucknow Gold Limited in relation to the Lucknow Gold Project (EL6455) in New South Wales. The Lucknow Goldfield was discovered in 1851 and was one of the earliest goldfields to be mined commercially in Australia. Historic production records at the Project are incomplete, however in excess of 400,000 ounces of gold has reportedly been produced at grades of 100 to 200 g/t gold[3] .Very little modern exploration has been completed outside of the existing mine workings and Talisman intends to undertake a program of geochemical surface sampling and mapping at the Project ahead of a drilling program to test for potential down plunge extensions of the high-grade gold ore shoots and repeat structures throughout the Project area.
