Talisman Mining – Exploration and Corporate Update

Update including back-to-back Gold and Copper-Gold drilling programs to Commence in NSW

Key Points:

  • Two drilling programs scheduled to commence for November and December in NSW.

  • 2,500m air-core drilling program to commence in November to further test the Sheepyard gold anomaly, within the Walkers Hill Gold Project.

  • Deep diamond drilling to commence in December targeting conductive features at the Yarindury Porphyry Copper Project in the Macquarie Arc, NSW.

  • Further detail on the current Wonmunna Project.

Talisman Mining Limited (ASX: TLM; ‘Talisman’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to provide the following exploration and corporate update.

Walkers Hill – Sheepyard gold anomaly

During August 2025, Talisman completed a total of five Reverse Circulation (RC) holes for 857m to test the northernmost soil geochemical trend at the Sheepyard Prospect, within the Walkers Hill Project (see Figure 1).

The August RC drilling intersected broad zones of low-grade gold mineralisation including some narrow highgrade zones below strongly anomalous soil geochemistry, as reported on 15 September (ASX announcement 15 September 2025).

The next phase of exploration work consists of a follow-up 2,500m air-core drilling program targeted at the two additional NE-SW trending zones further south-east within the broader Sheepyard anomaly.

The aim of this drilling is to delineate higher-grade zones of gold mineralisation and is scheduled to commence in November.

Yarindury

In July 2025, Talisman completed a combined Induced Polarisation-Magneto Telluric (IP-MT) survey at the Yarindury East Prospect.

The survey, which consisted of three NE-SW lines in a dipole-dipole (DDIP) configuration, was designed to identify conductive, potential sulphide-bearing bodies. See ASX announcement 25 July 2025.

The survey revealed several chargeability features, two of which were considered targets for interpreted porphyry style copper-gold mineralisation (see Figure 2 and Figure 3).

The planned drill program will target these features and will comprise two 400-500m deep Reverse Circulation and diamond drill holes aimed at the chargeability features highlighted in the IP-MT survey. See Figure 3.

Drilling at Yarindury is scheduled to commence in December and is expected to be completed before Christmas.

Wonmunna Iron Ore Royalty

Talisman has a 1% uncapped iron ore royalty stream from the tenements supporting Mineral Resources Limited’s (ASX: MIN) Wonmunna Iron Ore Project in the Pilbara region of WA.

Wonmunna has historically supplied ~50% of the feed to MIN’s Pilbara Hub. The Wonmunna royalty has generated receipts of $32.8 million to date, including $9.0 million in FY25 and $1.55 million for the September 2025 Quarter.

As announced in October 2024, the economic viability of the current Wonmunna Project was limited. When the current project commenced in March 2021 the anticipated mine life was approximately 4 years, scheduled at the time, to be completed in the March quarter of 2025.

Preparations have been made by Mineral Resources to transition its Pilbara Hub production from Wonmunna to Lamb Creek, with first ore production from Lamb Creek forecast to commence in Q4 FY2026. It is expected that production at the current Wonmunna Project will tail off with royalty payments for the current project expected to wind down in Q3 FY2026 consistent with the October 2024 update and toward the end of that expected timeline.

Management Comment

Talisman Mining Managing Director Andrew Munckton said: "We are pleased to see exploration activities ramping up again in NSW, with two exciting drill programs on the immediate horizon.

“Building on the encouraging results received from our maiden 2025 RC drilling program – which delivered wide zones of shallow, low-grade gold mineralisation including intercepts up to 42m at 0.44g/t Au – an important new phase of aircore drilling is imminent at the Sheepyard Prospect at Walkers Hill.

“This new air-core program will target two additional higher-grade trends defined by the soil geochemistry. The shallow AC drilling will determine if higher grade material exists in the near-surface oxide zone which lies above potentially more compelling targets at depth, which may be targeted with subsequent geophysical programs and deeper RC drilling.

“In December, deep diamond drilling will be undertaken to test newly identified conductive features at Yarindury East, part of our exciting Yarindury Project. We believe we have plenty of unfinished business at Yarindury following the initial drilling completed earlier this year. Armed with new targets and a much better understanding of the geological architecture of the region, we are looking forward to seeing what this drilling can deliver.

“The current Wonmunna Project has outperformed its expected mine life and production. Substantial iron ore mineralisation and ongoing exploration work remains at Wonmunna, which speaks to the ongoing attractiveness of the royalty arrangement which remains a great asset for the Company’s future”

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 Gwaler 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.

JORC Tables Section 1 & 2

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.
TLM MDD Process

TLM’s diamond core samples, are HQ3 in diameter and are
cut either in half or one-third longitudinally using an
automated Almonte core saw. Core is held securely in
boats during cutting to maintain sample integrity. Sample
intervals ranged from 0.3 to 1.3m in length, with most
samples aligned to 1m intervals or adjusted to honour
geological contacts.

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

TLM diamond samples are 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 (ME-MS61) and analysis for Rare
Earths (MS61L-REE). A 30g sub sample was also taken for
fire assay for gold with ICP-AAS finish.
Historic Drilling

Newcrest Diamond Holes MEMD0001 & MEMD0002: Half
core samples intervals varied from 0.2 to 2 m in length but
were predominantly aligned to 2m intervals. 3kg was
pulverised to produce a 50g charge for analysis by fire
assay (FA50/MS) and multi-element 4-acid digestion
(4AMS). Samples were prepared by Newcrest Laboratory
Services, Orange and dispatched to Intertek Laboratories,
Perth for analysis.

Golden Cross Resources RC Hole GCYAR001: No
samples collected as basement magnetic target was not
intersected and hole was abandoned within Mesozoic
sediments.

Clancy Exploration RC Hole SCR0001: Samples were
collected as 10m composites, unless encouraging signs
were observed, then samples were 1m composites. A total
of 11 samples were submitted for assay to ALS Orange.
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

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 MR/ Diamond Drilling Core recovery data is 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.

recovery was generally greater than 95%.

Golden Cross Resources RC Hole GCYAR001: RC
recovery details were not included in historical report.

Clancy Exploration RC Hole SCR0001: RC recovery details

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 MR/ DD Process

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

DD/ MR 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 holes are logged in full to end of hole.

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

MR/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 Talisman Core yard in
Condobolin. Photographs are available for every diamond
drillhole completed.

Mud Rotary chips are photographed in trays.

All information collected are entered directly into laptop
computers or tablets, validated in the field, and then
transferred to the database. The level of loggingdetail is

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.
TLM MR/ DD Processes:

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

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

DD samples are 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 involve the use of
Certified Reference Material (CRM) as assay standards.

All QAQC controls and measures are 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 are collected at a 1 in 30 sample rate.

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 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.
• No significant intercepts are reported.
Relationship
between
mineralisatio
n 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 are planned as perpendicular as possible in
plan-view to intersect the geological targets. At this early
stage of exploration, drilling and geological knowledge of
the project accurate true widths are not yet possible as
there is insufficient data.

The orientation of key structures may be locally variable
and the relationship to mineralisation is yet to be identified.
• No significant mineralisation was identified in any of
the historical holes
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.

TLM Ground IP-MT Survey and Airborne Magnetic Inversions

The Yarindury IP–MT survey was completed by Zonge
Engineering and Research Organisation (Zonge) between
July 1 and 18, 2025. The survey consisted of three SW–NE
lines designed to cover several interpreted magnetic
features. The line locations were designed around
infrastructure including homesteads, a gas pipeline, roads,
railways and power lines.

Equipment used included a Zonge GGT–30 Transmitter
(Tx) and the Advanced Geophysical Technology (AGT)
gDas–32 Distributed Acquisition System (Rx). For the IP
receiving electrodes were standard porous pots and
transmitter electrodes were metal stakes (10 stakes at
each station). The MT used the same electric field sensors
and Phoenix magnetic field coils.

The dipole–dipole (DDIP) configuration was used for the IP
survey with 200m receiver dipoles, and 400m transmitter
dipoles. The transmitter electrode locations were offset
100m along the survey line from the receiver electrodes
(i.e. at the midpoint of the receiver dipole). The receiver
dipoles were laid out and active for all transmitter sites
along the line so that readings are taken synchronously on
both sides of the transmitter electrode. The transmit
frequency used was 0.125 Hz.

The MT survey configuration used the same 200m spaced
electric dipoles as the IP survey. This configuration means
only the along line component (Ex) of the electric field is
measured. Magnetic field readings were acquired using
two pairs of magnetometers; both on–line with one pair
used as the cross–reference.

Processing and modelling of the IP data was completed by
Mitre Geophysics using Res2DInv.

Processing and modelling of the MT data from the
Yarindury survey was completed by Zonge using CGG
Geotools modelling software.

Mitre Geophysics completed unconstrained magnetic
inversion on two magnetic circular (Golden Highway Sth
and Mullion Ck) features recognised from the Newcrest
Mendoran (100 m spaced) 2017 airborne magnetic survey,
usingthe software MGInv3D.
Further
work

The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g.
tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions, including the main geological
interpretations and future drilling areas, provided
this information is not commercially sensitive.

Planned future work at the Yarindury Copper-Gold Project
if warranted would include follow up Diamond drilling and
geophysical surveys.
