Talisman acquires the Yarindury Porphyry Cu-Au Project in NSW

Maiden drilling program to commence in the September quarter to test large geophysical anomalies

Highlights:

• Talisman has been granted Exploration Licence (EL9679) – the “Yarindury Project” – which represents a large porphyry-style copper-gold target, located 30km east of Dubbo in the highly prospective Macquarie Volcanic Arc of NSW.

• Previous owner Alice Queen in JV with Newcrest, drilled two diamond holes which confirmed the prospective geology and returned anomalous copper mineralisation.

• Large km scale magnetic geophysical anomalies remain untested.

• Land access agreement has been signed and an exploration work approval submitted this week to NSW Resources.

• Initial diamond drilling program comprising up to five holes planned to test large anomalies, with drilling scheduled to commence in August.

Talisman Mining Limited (ASX: TLM, Talisman) is pleased to be granted a new tenement, EL 9679, named the “Yarindury Project”, located 30km east of Dubbo in the Macquarie Volcanic Arc of central-western NSW. Yarindury contains a number of porphyry-style magnetic targets with confirmed prospective geology and copper-gold anomalism.

The Yarindury Project lies in the same highly prospective geological and mineralised belt as Alkane Resources’ (ASX: ALK) Boda-Kaiser Project (located 20km to the south-east), which currently contains a Mineral Resource of 8.3Moz of contained gold and 1.5Mt of contained copper[1,3] . In addition, Yarindury displays rock units and geophysical anomalies similar to Newmont’s (NYSE: NEM) Cadia deposit (located 100km to the south), one of Australia’s largest gold and copper mining operations with Ore Reserves of 17Moz of gold and 3.6Mt of copper[2,3] .

The existence of, size and grade of the Mineral Resource Estimates at Boda/Kaiser and Ore Reserve estimate at Cadia does not guarantee that such deposits are discoverable at the Yarindury project and TLM has not done sufficient work yet in order to be able to classify its own MRE at the project.

The Yarindury Project was previously held by Alice Queen Limited, who completed two diamond drill holes (MEMD0001 and MEMD0002) in JV with Newcrest in 2018. MEMD0001 intersected favourable rock units with weakly anomalous copper and gold. However, no drilling has been completed over the largest and strongest amplitude magnetic anomaly on the western boundary of the Molong Volcanic Belt. Yarindury EL 9679 is illustrated in Figure 1 and Figure 2.

Geology and Mineralisation

The Yarindury project is located along the northernmost extension of the Molong Volcanic Belt where it contacts and underlies Surat Basin Mesozoic sediments.

The highly prospective Molong Volcanic Belt comprises a number of distinctive, interleaved, magnetic and nonmagnetic geophysical strips that can be traced for more than 200km to the south. Talisman’s objective at Yarindury is to explore the buried Molong Volcanic basement elements for large-scale porphyry or other intrusion related copper and/or gold deposits.

The Molong Volcanic Belt comprises:

• i) the Ordovician age volcanic rock package which contains a number of high-level intrusions marked by high-amplitude magnetic geophysical responses; and

• ii) the adjacent, lesser magnetic Silurian-Devonian age sediments intruded locally by discrete, elliptical-shaped, younger and less prospective magnetic granite batholiths.

Regionally, the Molong Volcanic Belt hosts the world-class Cadia porphyry Cu-Au system (17Moz Au and 3.6Mt Cu[2,3] ), located 100km to the south; the 8.5Moz Au and 1.5Mt Cu[1,3] , Boda-Kaiser discovery of Alkane Resources, located 20km south-east; and a number of other significant porphyry-style prospects including Cargo and Copper Hill. These major porphyry deposits all occur within or around the margins of complex, high-amplitude, sub-volcanic intrusion bearing, magnetic nodes that occur along the belt.

In the south-west corner of the Yarindury licence, on the rim of the Molong Volcanic Belt magnetic complex, lies a large ~2km diameter, high-amplitude, complex, annular magnetic anomaly (Figure 2). This anomaly represents the primary exploration target within the Yarindury Project area. Annular magnetic anomalies are classically associated with Cu-Au stock-work mineralised aureoles developed around less magnetic and/or altered, vertical, porphyry pipe intrusions.

With its highly prospective regional setting, this anomaly is viewed as a high-quality buried porphyry Cu-Au target with very large tonnage potential.

In addition to this primary target, a number of secondary magnetic anomalies are also present within the licence (Figure 2).

Project Background

Previous explorers include Newcrest Mining in JV with Alice Queen Limited and Golden Cross Resources.

Figures 2 and 3 shows where Newcrest/Alice Queen drilled two vertical diamond holes MEMD0001 (total depth 414.2m, depth to basement 215m) and MEMD0002 (total depth 363.4m, depth to basement 250m) in 2017 targeting porphyry intrusion style mineralisation associated with anomalous magnetic features. The holes intersected altered volcanic rocks of likely Ordovician age with weakly anomalous copper mineralisation. Newcrest/Alice Queen planned but did not drill the prominent geophysical feature at Yarindury located on the western side of the Molong Volcanic Belt.

In 2008, Golden Cross, using lower resolution survey data, targeted the main geophysical feature with a single drill hole (GCYAR001) located off the western edge of the anomaly. The hole did not intersect basement rocks, encountering 252m of barren Mesozoic sediments. See Figure 3.

Yarindury – Work Plan and Drill Testing

Talisman Mining has recently signed a landholder access agreement and will submit its exploration application to the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development early this week.

The proposed maiden exploration program consists of five diamond drill holes targeted at the basement rocks at the large geophysical feature. Additional diamond drilling may be undertaken if initial geological prospectivity and presence of mineralisation is confirmed.

Subject to NSW government approval drilling is scheduled to commence in the September quarter.

Management Comment

Talisman’s Managing Director, Andrew Munckton, said: “The acquisition of the Yarindury Project offers an exciting new addition to our exploration portfolio.

“At a time of strengthening copper and gold prices around the world, this new project offers exploration exposure to the Tier 1 Molong Volcanic Belt, which hosts several major porphyry style copper-gold deposits. Yarindury’s location within the Molong Volcanic Belt and its side-by-side comparison with the world-class Cadia Ridgeway deposits clearly demonstrates the significant scale of the opportunity.

“An initial diamond drilling program is scheduled to commence once NSW government approvals have been secured. Importantly, this initial phase of drilling will provide us with detailed geological context as to the potential style and scale of copper-gold mineralisation associated with the large geophysical anomaly.

“We’re greatly looking forward to drilling this target and will update the market once drilling has commenced.”

“The Yarindury project is complementary to the advanced exploration at our Durnings Project. The recent exciting exploration results at Durnings will be followed up as quickly as possible once access to the project is re-established following recent heavy rainfall in late June.”

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 several 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 secured access to over 1040 km2 of highly prospective tenure in South Australia’s Gawler Craton known as the Mabel Creek Project. Mabel Creek is prospective for large scale Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) deposits and intrusion related rare earths and battery metals mineralisation. Mable Creek is surrounded by similar tenure owned and being actively explored by Australia’s biggest resource companies including BHP, Rio Tinto and FMG.
