Talisman Mining Limited (ASX: TLM, Talisman ) is pleased to advise that it has received assay results from the remaining Reverse Circulation (RC) holes drilled late last year targeting a GAIP geophysical anomaly at the Durnings Prospect , part of its 100%-owned Lachlan Project in central NSW.

Durnings is located approximately 15km south-east of Kingston Resources’ Mineral Hill Operations and 25km north of Condobolin. It lies approximately 35km south-east of the Company’s Rip n Tear discovery and is the fourth area to be tested as part of a 7,200m RC drilling campaign recently completed at four priority prospects within the Lachlan Project area (see Figure 1).

Assays have now been received for RC holes DRRC0006 to DRRC0010, the initial RC holes drilled at Durnings, where a 1,710m broad-spaced 6-hole RC drilling program was completed in late November.

Background

The Durnings Prospect is a lightly explored project defined by strongly anomalous base metal soil geochemistry and contains two large, coherent conductive GAIP anomalies located along strike from and to the east of previous RC drilling results returned from earlier exploration by Talisman Mining (see ASX announcement 15 May 2023).

The prospect is situated within a complex structural setting associated with NNW trending faults interpreted to be part of the Mineral Hill Fault Zone, which provides a pathway for mineralised fluids to move upwards from deeper local granite intrusions.

Historical drilling at the Durnings Project includes Talisman drilling conducted from early 2023 (DRRC0001 to DRRC0005) and previous percussion drilling (KSRC0008 to KSRC0014). See Figure 2 for drill-hole locations.

Results from earlier RC drilling include:

  • DRRC0001 8m at 0.27% Pb, 6.3g/t Ag, 0.36% Zn, 0.77% Cu, 6.3g/t Au from 82m

  • DRRC0002 12m at 7.72g/t Ag from 74m

  • DRRC0003 8m at 15.98g/t Ag and 0.15g/t Au from 98m

  • DRRC0004 14m at 7.14g/t Ag and 0.22g/t Au from 64m

  • DRRC0005 10m at 5.52g/t Ag from 34m

Results

RC drilling totalling six holes for 1,710m was completed in late-November targeted at the western GAIP anomaly. All six RC holes drilled at approximately 200m spacing were designed to target a buried GAIP anomaly modelled to between 50m and 200m below surface.

RC drilling has intersected two broad zones of disseminated galena, silver, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and gold associated with strong sulphide mineralisation in sericite altered volcaniclastic rocks. Initial results for DRRC0006 and DRRC0007 were reported in mid-December (see ASX announcement 14 December 2023). Recent results include:

Southern Anomaly

DRRC0006

  • 24m at 1.5% Pb, 15.6g/t Ag, 0.2% Zn, 0.02% Cu, 0.04g/t Au from 18m to 42m and;

  • § 20m at 3.9% Pb, 45.2g/t Ag, 2.1% Zn, 0.16% Cu and 0.73g/t Au from 260m to 280m

  • § 6m at 10.3% Pb, 126g/t Ag, 3.5% Zn, 0.4% Cu and 1.93g/t Au from 274m to 280m.

DRRC0007

  • 8m at 0.5% Pb, 2.1g/t Ag, 1.3% Zn, 0.02% Cu, 0.11g/t Au from 166m to 198m.

Northern Anomaly

DRRC0008

  • 28m at 0.4% Pb, 7.8g/t Ag, 0.7% Zn, 0.02% Cu, 0.11g/t Au from 4m to 32m including: § 10m at 0.5% Pb, 10.8g/t Ag, 1.8% Zn, 0.03% Cu, 0.15g/t Au from 22m to 32m

  • o 30m at 0.4% Pb, 2.7g/t Ag, 0.8% Zn, 0.01% Cu, 0.07g/t Au from 124m to 154m

DRRC0009

  • 4m at 0.1% Pb, 14.1g/t Ag, 0.1% Zn, 0.77% Cu, 0.42g/t Au from 32m to 36m and;

  • 6m at 0.5% Pb, 5.4g/t Ag, 0.7% Zn, 0.19% Cu, 0.29g/t Au from 74m to 80m :

DRRC0010

  • 10m at 0.9% Pb, 7.1g/t Ag, 2.2% Zn, 0.04% Cu, 0.24g/t Au from 156m to 166m and;

  • 10m at 0.4% Pb, 3.9g/t Ag, 0.7% Zn, 0.01% Cu, 0.39g/t Au from 232m to 242m end of hole.

  • Assays for DRRC0011 were submitted to the laboratory approximately 10 days after holes DRRC0008 to DRRC0010 due to wet weather which hampered access to the drill site. Results for this hole are expected within the next two weeks.

  • Three of the six holes (DRRC0006, DRRC0010 and DRRC0011) were suspended in sulphide mineralisation at their various termination depths due to high water inflows. These holes will be extended with diamond core drilling once the diamond drill rig completes its current program at the nearby Rip n Tear prospect.

Geology and Mineralisation

The Durnings Prospect is located within EL8680 on the eastern edge of the Canbelego-Mineral Hill Rift Zone (Figure 1), adjacent to the large, controlling, basin margin, NW-SE oriented Mineral Hill Rift controlling structure.

Silurian-Devonian age Mineral Hill Volcanics host the prospect. To the east lies the older Ordovicianage Girilambone Group. To the west and northeast Devonian age Talingaboolba Formation sediments overlie or are faulted against the Mineral Hill Volcanics within the Mineral Hill Rift Zone.

5

Zones of disseminated and vein hosted sulphides (pyrite, galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite) are associated with sericite alteration within felsic volcanic and volcaniclastic rock units with porphyritic to fine-grained texture. These sulphide-rich zones correspond with a coherent, conductive GAIP anomaly. See Figure 2 and Figure 4.

Durnings is cut by a series of NE-SW trending faults interpreted to be relatively small transverse faults in a rift setting. One of these faults is interpreted to cut and displace the western GAIP anomaly into two parts, which are the primary targets tested by DRRC0008 to DRRC0010 (in the north) and DRRC0006, DRRC0007 and DRRC0011 (in the south).

Generally, the geology displays two zones of sulphide mineralisation associated with interpreted NW-SE trending, west dipping faults and geological contacts. The orientation of the mineralised zones is unknown at this time and will be tested with further shallower RC drilling. See Figure 3.

==> picture [503 x 346] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3 – Durnings geology cross section containing DRRC0006. Note the position of the two identified zones of mineralisation and the high grade core to the Lower Zone. The 6m section from 274m to 280m shows significant sulphide mineralisation coincident with 10.3% Pb, 3.5% Zn, 126g/t Ag, 0.4% Cu and 1.93g/t Au. Fine sulphide mineralisation is logged throughout the intersection with quartz sulphide breccia logged from 274-280m.

– Durnings Next Steps

The diamond rig is scheduled to mobilise to Durnings to extend DRRC0006, DRRC0010 and DRRC0011 once drilling at Rip n Tear has been completed. Logging of the RC chips and assay results indicates that these holes did not penetrate beyond the altered sulphide-rich zone of interest.

In addition to the current target at Durnings, an extensive additional target located approximately 800m further east of the recent drilling has been identified in the GAIP survey. See Figure 4.

This eastern GAIP anomaly spans approximately 1600m by 250m and is considerably stronger and larger than the western GAIP anomaly that produced the strong recent RC drilling results. The new target will be tested with additional RC drill program to determine the source of the chargeability anomaly. This additional RC drilling program is scheduled to commence in the March quarter 2024.

Additional ground-based GAIP surveys may commence following the testing of the eastern anomaly (subject to encouragement from assay data from DRRC0011 and the additional RC drilling) to investigate if the target horizon extends further south-east beyond the extent of the existing survey area. See Figure 4.

– Rip n Tear Exploration Update

Diamond drilling to extend existing RC holes at Rip n Tear re-commenced on 6 January 2024.

In December 2023, the diamond rig completed extensions in MYRC0002 to 318m (which was terminated in mineralisation due to equipment failure), MYRC0003 to 411m and MYRC0004 to 457m, successfully penetrating the target horizon and underlying unmineralized sediments.

RC drilling was completed at an additional four holes (MYRC0008 to MYRC0011) at Rip n Tear, targeted at the northern MLEM conductor. See Figure 5 for hole locations.

These additional RC holes were aimed at intersecting the target horizon at shallow depths and all were drilled with a northerly azimuth. Diamond drilling to extend these RC holes at Rip n Tear is the priority work for the diamond rig over January and February 2024.

– Carpina North and Noisy Ned Exploration Update

RC drilling at both Carpina North and Noisy Ned was completed in November 2023.

No significant assay results were received from either prospect in the 6-hole/1696m RC program completed at Carpina North or the 5-hole/1,580m program completed at Noisy Ned. Both projects remain active exploration opportunities and have both been re-prioritised in light of the exploration results and ongoing work programs at Durnings and Rip n Tear.

Management Comment

Talisman’s Managing Director, Andrew Munckton, said: “ It is exciting to see more significant assay results from the maiden deep holes at the target generated from ground geophysics at Durnings. The better multi-metal assay results are coincident with zones of sulphide mineralization in several of the RC holes drilled into the western GAIP target.

“The mineralisation at Durnings appears to be located in two parallel, west-dipping zones, separated into a Northern Anomaly and a Southern Anomaly by an apparent north-east trending fault. The mineralization is strongly associated with the logged sulphide and sericite altered volcaniclastic rock.

9

“At the Northern Anomaly, while the intersections to date are generally low grade, better grade narrow intersections are also present in the broad-spaced drilling. Further drilling to determine the extent of these higher-grade zones and holes targeted at shallower positions will be undertaken in due course.

“At the Southern Anomaly, the assays for DRRC0011 are awaited. The initial hole at this target, DRRC0006, identified a sulphide-rich, high-grade 6m intersection from 274m down-hole, which returned a significant assay result of 10.3% Pb, 3.5% Zn 126g/t Ag, 0.4% Cu and 1.93g/t Au . The assay results for DRRC0011, located along strike from this hole, will allow us to confirm the continuity of this high-grade mineralized zone.

“A significant additional target at the Durnings prospect has been identified from the GAIP survey. Having confirmed with the first six deep RC holes that the chargeability anomaly is due to base and precious metal-rich sulphide mineralization, the larger and stronger GAIP target located 800m east will now be assessed with an initial RC drilling in a similar fashion to the Durnings target assessment.

“Our geologists are looking forward to integrating the knowledge derived from the recently completed RC drilling with the full assay dataset and the proposed diamond tail drilling program in the March quarter to gain a more accurate picture of the orientation and style of lead-zinc-silver-copper-gold sulphide mineralisation at Durnings and to fully test this extensive structural corridor and emerging mineralised system.”

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 1000 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.

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 3kg 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.

RC Drilling samples are collected at two metre intervals via
a drill rig mounted cyclone and static cone splitter set to a
12% split to produce a nominal 4-7kg sample which was
collected in a pre-numbered sample bag.

RC samples undergo routine 2 metre composite pXRF
analysis using a Olympus Vanta M-series to aid in logging
and identifying zones of interest.

Diamond core samples, either PQ, HQ3 or NQ2 in size
diameter, were either cut in half longitudinally or a third
longitudinally, using an automated Almnonte core saw
Core was placed in boats, holding core in place. Core
sample intervals varied from 0.3 to 1.3m in length but were
predominantly aligned to 1m intervals or with sample
boundaries which respected geological contacts.

Sampling is controlled by Talisman protocols and QAQC
procedures as per industry standard and a chain of custody
maintained through transfer to ALS Laboratories in
Adelaide, SA.

RC /DD samples were dried, crushed (where required),
split and pulverised (total prep) to produce a master pulp.
From this master pulp, a 0.25g sub sample was taken for
multi-element analysis by four acid digest with an ICP-MS
finish. A 30g sub sample was also taken for fire assay for
gold with ICP-AES finish.
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).

RC drilling cited in this report was undertaken by Strike
Drilling Pty Ltd using a LC36 (KWL 700) truck-mounted
Reverse Circulation drill rig. A truck-mounted booster and
compressor provided high pressure air with an auxiliary
compressor used where ground conditions warranted.

RC drilling was completed with a face sampling hammer of
nominal 140mm size.

Diamond Drilling (cited in this report was undertaken by
DDH1 Drilling Pty LTD ùsing a UDR1200 truck mounted
rig.

The core was orientated using a Reflex Ez-Ori Tool.
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and
chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.
RC Drilling

presence of Talisman personnel at the drill site.

No known relationship exists between recovery and grade
and no known bias exists.
Diamond Drilling

Core recovery data was recorded for each run by
measuring total length of core retrieved against the
downhole interval actually drilled and stored in the
database. TLM representatives continuously monitor core
recovery and core presentation quality as drilling is
conducted and issues or discrepancies are rectified
promptly to maintain industry best standards. Core
recoveries averaged >90%, even when difficult ground
conditions were being encountered.
Logging

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.)

The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
RC Drilling

RC 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.

RC logging is both qualitative and quantitative depending
on the field being logged.

All RC drill-holes are logged in full to end of hole.

All RC chip trays are photographed, and then stored onsite
in the Lachlan Copper-Gold Project.

All information collected is entered directly into laptop
computers or tablets, validated in the field, and then
transferred to the database. The level of logging detail is
considered appropriate for exploration and to support
appropriate mineral resource estimation, mining studies,
and metallurgical studies.
Diamond Drilling

DD logging is carried out on site once geology personnel
retrieve core trays from the drill rig site. Core is collected
from the rig daily.

DD 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.

All DD drill-holes are logged in full to end of hole.

Drillhole collar coordinates, azimuth, dip, depth and
sampling intervals are also recorded. DD logging is to
geological contacts.

DD logging is both qualitative and quantitative depending
on the field being logged. Logging of diamond drilling
includes geotechnical data, RQD and core recoveries.

Drill core is photographed prior to any cutting and/or
sampling, and then stored onsite in the Lachlan Copper-
Gold Project. Photographs are available for every diamond
drillhole completed.

considered appropriate for exploration and to support
appropriate mineral resource estimation, mining studies,
and metallurgical studies.
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.

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.
RC Drilling

RC samples were dried, crushed (where required), split
and pulverised (total prep) to produce a 0.25g sub sample
for base metal analysis or a 30g sub sample for gold
analysis by fire assay.

QAQC protocols for all RC sampling involved the use of
Certified Reference Material (CRM) as assay standards.

All QAQC controls and measures were routinely reviewed.

Sample size is considered appropriate for geochemical
sampling for base-metal and gold mineralisation given the
nature of drilling and anticipated distribution of
mineralisation.

Field duplicates were collected at a 1 in 30 sample rate.
Diamond Drilling

Diamond drill core (NQ3, HQ or PQ) samples collected for
analysis were longitudinally cut in half, and quarters for the
QAQC samples using a using an automated Almnonte core
saw. Core was placed in boats, holding core in place.

Half core or quarter core sample intervals typically varied
from 0.3m to 1.3m in length. 1m sample intervals were
favoured and are the most common method of sampling,
however sample boundaries do principally coincide with
geological contacts. The remaining core was retained in
core trays.

DD samples were dried, crushed (where required), split
and pulverised (total prep) to produce a 0.25g sub sample
for base metal analysis or a 30g sub sample for gold
analysis by fire assay.

QAQC protocols for all DD sampling involved the use of
Certified Reference Material (CRM) as assay standards.

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.

Laboratory checks (repeats) occurred at a frequency of 1 in
25.

Field duplicates returned a reasonable level of precision
with some minor variation in Au attributed to nugget effect
of gold mineralisation.

Each 2m composite RC sample undergoes routine pXRF
analysis using a Olympus Vanta M-series to aid in logging
and identifying zones of interest. All pXRF readings were
taken in Geo-Exploration mode with a 45 second 3 beam
reading.

Standard reference materials were used to calibrate the
pXRF instrument every 30 samples.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure

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
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this should be
assessed and reported if material.

Samples were taken according to observations at the time
in the field. No relationship between drilling orientation and
orientation of key mineralized structures was observed.
Sample
security

The measures taken to ensure sample
security.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

All tenements are in good standing and there are no
existing known impediments to exploration or mining.
Exploration
done by other
parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration
by other parties.

The Lachlan Copper-Gold Project has been subject to
exploration by numerous previous explorers.

Exploration work has included diamond, RC and Air
Core drilling, ground and down-hole EM surveys, soil
sampling, geological interpretation and other
geophysics (magnetics, gravity).
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

The Lachlan Copper-Gold Project lies within the Central
Lachlan Fold belt in NSW.

The Lachlan Copper-Gold Project is considered
prospective for epithermal style base-metal and
precious metal mineralisation, orogenic mineralisation,
and Cobar style base-metal mineralisation.
Drill-hole
Information

A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill-holes:

easting and northing of the drill-hole collar

elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in metres) of the
drill-hole collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and interception depth

hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is justified
on the basis that the information is not
material and this exclusion does not detract
from the understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly explain why
this is the case.

Historical drilling intercepts have been appropriately
referenced to source information.

A reference to historic mining grade has been
referenced to open file source material.
Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of
high grades) and cut-off grades are usually
material and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high grade results and longer
•Significant intersections reported from the Lachlan
Lead-Zinc-Silver-Copper-Gold Project are based on a
nominal 0.25g/t Au, 0.2% Cu, 5g/t Ag, 0.5% Pb or 0.5%
Zn cutoff, no more than 6m of internal dilution and a
minimum composite grade of 0.25g/t Au, 0.2% Cu, 5g/t
Ag, 0.5% Pb or 0.5% Zn.

19

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
lengths of low grade results, the procedure
used for 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.
•Cu and Au grades used for calculating significant
intersections are uncut.
•All RC results reported in this document have been
derived from 2m split samples.
•Length weighted intercepts are reported for mineralised
intersections.
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’).

Drill-holes relating to the Lachlan Copper-Gold Project
are reported as down hole intersections. True widths of
reported mineralisation are not known 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.

All relevant data is reported and provides an appropriate
representation of the results.

The accompanying document is considered to represent
a balanced report.
Other
substantive
exploration
data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but
not limited to): geological observations;
geophysical survey results; geochemical
survey results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test
results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics;
potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.
