Lachlan Project

A comprehensive geological, geochemical and geophysical review across all TLM Mineral Hill-Canbelego Volcanic Belt (MHCVB) tenure has just been completed (Figure 1).

The review identified two high priority targets in the Walkers Hill gold geochemical trend scheduled for initial Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling to begin in late June.

The review also identified multiple untested areas of soil/regolith within prospective parts of the MHCVB that require geochemical infill sampling (Geochemical Gaps) (Figure 2). A 1,600-hole auger program is scheduled to commence in late June 2025 targeting these areas.

Walkers Hill

The Walkers Hill geochemical trend, the largest in the district, comprises an extensive gold-in soil anomaly, of approximately 10km by 2.5km of which 5km is within Talisman tenement EL 8571 (see Figure 2 and Figure 3).

Several stages of exploration have been undertaken since 2000 by Triako Exploration, Paradigm Resources and Talisman Mining to advance the understanding of this high-priority geochemical trend.

Historical exploration results within the Walkers Hill trend include: (See Table 3)

  • 1,250 soils taken at the Sheepyard and Maroonbah Targets between 2003 and 2008. These results show distinct coherent soil anomalies for Au (>20ppb) and As (>150ppm). See Figure 3.

  • RC drilling

  • 40m at 0.46 g/t Au from 3m (PMV005) and 12m at 0.38g/t Au (TMY027) from surface at Sheepyard (Table 3).

  • 20m at 0.48 g/t Au from 16m (TBC015) and 5m @ 0.54 g/t Au from 14m (TBC016) at Maroonbah (TBC015) (Table 3).

  • All mineralised holes ended in oxide and drilling was limited to 60m below surface.

  • Pole Diploe Induced Polarisation (PDIP) geophysical survey completed by Talisman in 2023 revealed a chargeability anomaly below mineralised RC drill intercepts at the Sheepyard target (Figure 4).

Talisman will shortly commence RC drilling at the Sheepyard Target.

Planned RC drilling will consist of four RC holes up to 200m deep testing the large PDIP anomaly situated below historical anomalous drill intercepts (see Figure 4) including 40m at 0.46g/t Au within the oxide zone of hole PMV005.

At completion of the Sheepyard Target drilling, ground geophysical surveying at Maroonbah Target and further reconnaissance of the Walkers Hill geochemical trend will commence with the objective of undertaking further drilling in the September 2025 Quarter.

Talisman’s initial RC drilling program will test the IP anomaly at depths up to 200m below surface. (For planned drill hole location see Figure 3).

Macquarie Arc Projects, NSW

Yarindury (EL 9679) – Geophysical survey

Yarindury is located 30km north-east of Dubbo within the Molong Volcanic Belt, which forms part of the Macquarie Volcanic Arc in central-western NSW. The tenement lies along the same prospective corridor as Alkane Resources’ (ASX: ALK) Boda–Kaiser Project, 20km to the south-east, and Newmont’s (NYSE: NEM) worldclass Cadia copper-gold mine, located 100km along strike to the south (Figure 5).

Talisman’s planned exploration program over the second half of CY2025 includes a three-line, 13km long, IP (Induced Polarisation) and MT (Magnetotelluric) ground geophysical survey which will commence in July. The survey is targeting prominent magnetic anomalies in the south-eastern portion of the tenement, where historical drilling indicates basement depths of approximately 200m. Drill testing of targets generated from this survey is planned for the September 2025 Quarter (Figure 6).

East Peak Hill (EL 9395) – Auger Drilling

EL 9395 is located in central western NSW zone on the Junee–Narromine Volcanic Belt (JNVB) of the Macquarie Volcanic Arc. The JNVB extends over 200km north–south and its northern portion hosts Alkane Resources’ (ASX: ALK) Tomingley Gold Mine (shear hosted vein deposits) and the Peak Hill high-sulphidation-epithermal gold deposit. The EL is situated immediately south-east of the Tomingley gold mine

Talisman interprets East Peak Hill to be highly prospective for orogenic shear-hosted vein style gold mineralisation, high sulphidation vein style gold and porphyry style copper-gold mineralisation.

East Peak Hill Project contains interpreted andesitic volcanic units striking north–south along the length of the tenement.

An initial scout 150-hole auger survey commenced in May 2025, targeting areas of shallow to moderate cover. Any material copper or gold anomalies identified by the survey will be followed up RC drilling in the SeptemberOctober 2025 period (Figure 8).

Gawler Craton – South Australia

Mabel Creek – June half drilling results

Talisman acquired 100% ownership of the Mabel Creek IOCG Project in June 2023, securing a 1,048km² landholding approximately 30km west of Coober Pedy. The project is located over the post mineral covered parts of the Northern Gawler Craton, spanning the Nawa Domain and Mount Woods - Coober Pedy Ridge Complex. These geological domains are separated by a major east–west trending structural corridor known as the Karari Shear and Horse Camp Fault (Figure 9).

The Gawler Craton is highly prospective for large-scale Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) systems and hosts worldclass deposits such as Olympic Dam, Carrapateena, and Prominent Hill, as well as recent discoveries including Oak Dam and Emmie Bluff.

==> picture [407 x 287] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 9: Simplified regional geology of the northern Gawler Craton showing Mabel Creek project area, major structural geological features and mineral deposits.

Following a detailed ground gravity survey completed in 2024[1] , Talisman conducted an initial diamond drilling program in March–April 2025[2] . Three holes (MCMRD001–MCMRD003), totalling 1,367m were completed which tested near-coincident magnetic and gravity anomalies under post mineral cover, in the Nawa Domain north of the Horse Camp Fault (Figure 10 and Figure 11).

Basement rocks were intersected at expected depths of between 205m to 305m. Diamond drilling intersected a suite of metamorphic lithologies including granite gneiss, pegmatitic granite, amphibolite and calc-silicate rocks, with variable levels of hydrothermal alteration observed in most holes.

Result in hole MCMRD002, which tested anomaly P2 adjacent to the Horse Camp Fault were encouraging . This hole intersected a broad hydrothermal alteration zone with elevated molybdenum (Mo) and rare earth elements

(REE) (Table 2). The significance of this zone as a potential vector toward IOCG mineralisation is being assessed further via detailed geochemical, petrological and geochronological studies.

The tenure remains prospective for IOCG-style mineralisation.

Following a review of the data, the area south of the Horse Camp Fault with likely shallow post mineral cover, has been identified as an exploration priority where several near-coincident magnetic and gravity anomalies are located within the Mt Woods -Coober Pedy Ridge Complex. A second phase of exploration drilling is planned. Ongoing geophysical modelling, incorporating insights from the initial drilling is underway to refine target drill hole locations .

Mount Walton JV – Peel Mining

The Mount Walton JV (MWJV) was formed with Peel Mining over EL8414 in 2017, with Talisman sole funding exploration. EL8414 is located within the Company’s Lachlan Project tenure in NSW, sitting between the Carpina North and Noisy Ned prospects (see Figure 1). EL8414 contains several exploration prospects including the Cumbine Prospect.

Talisman has been increasing its interest in the project for some time with Peel Mining diluting its ownership. Recently, Peel elected not to contribute funding to the December 2025 half program and has therefore diluted below the 10% ownership threshold. Peel’s interest now reverts to a 1.5% NSR royalty in accordance with the agreement, with Talisman’s ownership increasing to 100%.

Management Comment

Talisman’s Managing Director, Andrew Munckton, said: "We are excited to be gearing up for a new exploration drilling campaign at the Lachlan Project in NSW to test some newly identified gold targets which represent compelling opportunities for the Company at a very buoyant time in the gold market.

These targets were identified by some solid geological work by the team, stemming from a detailed review of geological, geochemical, and geophysical data across the Canbelego Mineral Hill Volcanic Belt. The targets are characterised by a combination of strong geophysics, significant historical drilling results and a lack of modern exploration. The Walkers Hill project contains a large gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly above a significant geophysical IP anomaly. Limited shallow RC drilling at the Sheepyard and Maroonbah prospects shows broad zones of near-surface gold mineralisation up to 40m at 0.46g/t Au in the oxide zone within the gold-in-soil anomaly and above the IP survey anomaly. These features combined, indicate a potentially extensive mineralised system within the Walkers Hill area and represents a stand-out exploration opportunity for the Company.

“In addition to testing these gold targets, exploration in NSW is ramping up on other fronts, with the planned auger program across both the Lachlan and Macquarie Arc districts designed to in-fill key geochemical targets within both belts. This will be used to refine and prioritise future RC drilling across emerging target areas.

"Meanwhile, the recently completed three-hole diamond drilling program at Mabel Creek intersected zones of alteration associated with granitic intrusions along the interpreted Horse Camp Fault. Hole MCMRD002 returned a broad zone of alteration with anomalous molybdenum (Mo) and rare earth elements (REE). The significance of this anomalism, and its relationship to IOCG-style mineralisation associated with Hiltaba-aged granite intrusions across the Gawler Craton, is currently being investigated through detailed geochemical, geochronological and petrological studies.

“Insights from the work to date have led our geological team to focus the IOCG search area to the south of the Horse Camp Fault where several high-priority targets were identified in the 2024 gravity survey. We look forward to progressing this opportunity for the Company in the weeks and months ahead.”

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. The Macquarie Arc Tenements at Yarindury and East Peak Hill include Ordovician Volcanics that regionally host the World Class, Goonumbla, Lake Cowal and Cadia Valley porphyry related Cu-Au deposits.

Talisman also has secured access to over 1040 km[2] of highly prospective tenure in South Australia’s Gawler Craton at 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. Mabel Creek is surrounded by similar tenure owned and being actively explored by Australia’s biggest resource companies including BHP, Rio Tinto and FMG.

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.

Talisman Mining’s Mabel Creek diamond core samples,
cited in this report, were HQ3 in diameter and were cut
either in half or one-third longitudinally using an automated
Almonte core saw. Core was held securely in boats during
cutting to maintain sample integrity. Sample intervals
ranged from 0.3 to 1.3 metres in length, with most samples
aligned to 1 metre intervals or adjusted to honour
geological contacts. Samples for Rare Earths were
collected as one every 5m throughout hole MCMRD001,
and every 1m interval throughout hole MCMRD002 and
MCMRD003.

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 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 (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

Triako RC drilling, cited in this report, collected samples via
a plastic bag hooked beneath a cyclone mounted on the
side of the drill rig. Approximately 20 kg was collected per 1
metre sample interval. Samples were speared on site and
composited into 4m intervals for assay. Several 1m
speared samples were also collected, with gold assay
results generally within a few percent of the corresponding
1m riffle split intervals. This suggests that gold is relatively
evenly distributed, and the spearing method of sampling is
adequate.Reference: Triako Third Annual Exploration
Report, 2003 (R00048055).

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 Mabel Creek MR/ Diamond Drilling Core Process
•DD and MR logging was 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 were logged in full to end of hole.
•Drillhole collar coordinates, azimuth, dip, depth and
sampling intervals were recorded. DD logging is to
geological contacts.
•MR/DD logging was both qualitative and quantitative
depending on the field being logged. Logging of diamond
drilling includes geotechnical data, RQD and core
recoveries.
•Drill core was 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 was photographed in trays.
•All information collected was 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.

Triako RC drilling, cited in this report, involved geological
logging of each sample, with representative samples
retained in plastic chip trays and stored at the core yard at
their Mineral Hill facility. Lithological codes, sample
intervals, and collar survey data were entered into Excel
spreadsheets at the Mineral Hill site.Reference: Triako

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.

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.

Mabel Creek MR/ DD Processes:
•Diamond drill core (HQ) samples collected for analysis
were 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 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.
•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.

Triako RC drilling, cited in this report, involved collecting
samples in plastic bags hooked beneath a cyclone
mounted on the side of the RC drill rig. Approximately 20
Kg of material was recovered per 1m sample interval.
Samples were speared on site and composited into 4
metre intervals for assay. Several individual 1m speared
samples were also collected, with assay results generally
within a few percent of the corresponding 1 metre riffle split
intervals. This suggests that gold distribution is relatively
uniform and that the spearing method was adequate for
sampling purposes.Reference: Triako Third Annual
Exploration Report, 2003 (R00048055).

Paradigm Exploration RC samples, cited in this report,
were collected as 2, 3, 4, and 6 m composites using a

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.

Significant intercepts are calculated using length weighted
average grade calculations for all elements reported. Core
loss and intervals not sampled within significant intercepts
are excluded from length weighted calculations.

Mabel Creek anomalous drill intercepts using a cut off Mo ≥
20ppm with ≤ 6m internal dilution (Holes MCMRD001-
MCMRD003). TREO has been calculated using: CeO2 +
La2O3 + Pr6O11 + Nd2O3 + Sm2O3 + Eu2O3 + Gd2O3 +
Tb4O7 + Dy2O3 + Ho2O3 + Er2O3 + Tm2O3 + Lu2O3 +
Yb2O3 + Y2O3 (IOGAS: Sugden Geoscience 2023).

Significant intercepts for Triako’s RC drilling at the
Sheepyard Target, cited in this report, were recalculated
using a 0.2 g/t Au cut-off, allowing for up to 6 metres of
internal dilution.
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 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.

Drill-holes intersections are reported as down hole widths.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales)
and tabulations of intercepts should be
included for any significant discovery being
