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.

Appendix 2
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 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. Historic Drilling • Newcrest Diamond Holes MEMD0001 & MEMD0002: Core 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 were not included in historical report. |
| 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 |

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. Historic Drilling • Newcrest Diamond Holes MEMD0001 & MEMD0002: Half core samples were prepared by Newcrest Laboratory Services. DD samples were dried, crushed, split and pulverised to produce 50g subsample for analysis by fire assay (FA50/MS) and multi-element 4-acid digestion (4AMS).

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. |
