Springfield (TLM 100%)

The Springfield Project comprises a 303km² ground package located approximately 150km north-east of Meekatharra in the northern Murchison Goldfields region of Western Australia and 4km along strike from Sandfire Resource’s DeGrussa VMS Copper-Gold Project (see Figure 1 ).

Figure 1 – Springfield and Halloween tenement locality map

Exploration activities during the Quarter at Springfield have concentrated mainly on in-fill drilling programs, comprising 81 RC holes for 14,432m (SPRC161-241), with a focus on the Homer, Central Corridor and Monty Trends . Drilling to date has returned widespread Cu anomalous sulphides along key horizons, confirming the presence of multiple prospective VMS horizons (the host for potential VMS deposits) across all three trends.

RC drilling (6,000m) is now underway to test key target horizons along strike from better Cu-Au results at Monty, North Homer and the Central Trends. Detailed geological mapping is underway at the Central Corridor and Abraham Trends to identify and define key structures and possible VMS host horizons for additional RC drilling.

First-pass RC drilling was also completed during the Quarter at the Abraham Prospect consisting of 29 holes for 2,964m with the best result from the assays received to date of 2m @ 0.13% Cu. The majority of assay results are still pending. Additionally, two prospective horizons were identified which will form the basis of upcoming drilling programmes.

A 289-hole, 15,022m regional aircore drilling programme was completed over the Southern Volcanics across 400m North-South and 800m East-West traverses. Several zones of +500ppm Cu associated with mafic volcanics and sediments were intersected with approximately 60% of assay results now received to date. Evaluation and interpretation of this drilling programme is now underway with follow up aircore drilling planned in the first Quarter of 2013.

Homer Trend

RC drilling along the Homer Trend has consistently intersected disseminated copper-sulphide mineralisation associated with a well-defined volcani-clastic sedimentary horizon at the contact between sediments of the Karalundi Formation and the overlying Narracoota Mafic Volcanics (see Figure 2, Appendix 2 ).

==> picture [522 x 362] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2 – Homer Trend geological interpretation showing significant copper intercepts and proposed follow up drilling

The next phase of exploration activities along the Homer Trend will be to complete in-fill RC drilling on 200m line spacing targeting discrete structural breaks with coincident magnetic targets along the prospective host horizons. In addition, assessment of the Red Bore Fault Zone is underway to identify drill targets associated with NW transfer structures.

Monty Trend

Previous drilling conducted last year along the Monty Trend intersected several copper sulphide intervals including 0.3m @ 7.6% Cu (SPD020), supporting the prospectivity of the Monty Trend (see Figure 3 ).

A full structural and geological review has been completed for the Monty target horizon as well as re-assaying with low-level analytical techniques to help better define follow-up drill targets and to vector towards a potential mineralized VMS position.

RC drilling and associated DHEM has been completed subsequent to the end of the Quarter on 200m line spacing targeting discrete structural breaks with coincident magnetic targets along the prospective host horizons (see Figure 3, Appendix 2 ).

Central Trend

RC drilling completed earlier this year to test a prospective mafic-sediment contact at the southern margin of the Central Trend confirmed that the prospective VMS horizon represents a stratigraphically equivalent position to the DeGrussa sequence on the southern limb of a major syncline and, therefore, has the potential to host VMSstyle copper-gold mineralisation.

Previous drilling returned elevated copper-sulphide, gold and malachite (secondary copper oxide) development associated with strongly altered and sheared mafic volcanic sediments and basalts, with coincident jasperoidal chert and magnetite development along the prospective horizon (see Figure 4 ).

DHEM surveys at the Central Trend detected two late-time off-hole conductors which appear to be located to the east of the drill traverse along the prospective host horizon (see Figure 4 ).

An updated geological interpretation of the Central Corridor has commenced to identify key litho-structural controls on possible mineralisation in order to further refine drilling targets. The next phase of exploration at the Central Trend will focus on drilling targets generated from the updated geological interpretation along the prospective host horizons and the identified late-time off-hole conductors (see Figure 4 ).

This drilling is planned to commence during the December Quarter.

Abraham Trend

A detailed structural and 3D geological interpretation undertaken at the start of 2012 has led to an enhanced geological understanding of the southern portion of the Springfield Project, particularly the Abraham Trend .

The Abraham volcanics are interpreted to comprise prospective basalts, volcanic sediments and dolerites in close proximity to the Goodin Fault Zone – a major basin boundary structure and possible focus for VMS mineralisation.

Earlier this year, an extensive detailed 100m x 25m soil sampling program of approximately 5,000 samples was completed across much of the western Abraham Trend with the aim of identifying and delineating co-incident areas of anomalous copper and gold soil geochemistry.

This soil sampling programme generated a significant copper-gold anomaly over the central portion of the Abraham Trend with a maximum copper value of 189.4ppm Cu and gold values up to 61.5ppb Au against a very low geochemical background (see Figure 5 ).

An initial reconnaissance 3,000m RC drilling program was completed during the September Quarter as a test of these encouraging new target areas. Drilling intersected strongly altered dolerites, basalts and, importantly, coarse volcanic sediments that may have the potential to host VMS style mineralisation. Most assay results for this programme are currently pending.

An assessment of the Abraham Trend is currently underway and the area will be a focus for follow up exploration and drilling activities in the first Quarter of 2013.

Aircore / RAB Drilling Program – Southern Volcanics

During the Quarter, an extensive reconnaissance geochemical aircore and RAB drilling program was completed over the eastern extension of the Abraham volcanics, which are located under alluvial cover and are not amenable to soil geochemical sampling.

The Aircore drilling programme totalled 289 holes for 15,022m on 400m North-South and 800m East-West traverses by a 160m grid pattern and was designed to test a major cross-cutting NW transfer fault zone that is interpreted to traverse the Springfield Project and link-up with the DeGrussa copper-gold deposit (see Figure 6 ).

Drilling intersected widespread elevated Cu/Au ( up to 1,400ppm Cu ) associated with basalts, dolerites and volcanic sediments, confirming the extension of highly prospective mafic-volcanics along the Goodin Fault Zone to the east of the Abraham area (see Appendix 3 ), which opens up a previously unexplored prospect at Springfield.

To date, only 60% of assay results from the drill program have been received. A detailed evaluation of the results received so far is underway.

In-fill RAB geochemical drilling across these southern mafic volcanics is planned for the first half of 2013 to better define the copper-gold anomalism and to develop targets for follow up RC drill testing.

Halloween Copper-Gold Project (TLM 100%)

The Halloween Project is located 11.5km south-west of the DeGrussa VMS Copper-Gold Mine and 16.5km west of Talisman’s Springfield VMS Copper-Gold Project (see Figure 1 ).

The recently completed in-fill phase of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling has better defined and extended the gold mineralisation and associated VMS target horizon previously identified from RC and diamond drilling.

The drill program, which consisted of 14 RC holes (see Table 1 and Figure 7 ) predominantly along three in-fill traverses, was designed to better define the prospective mineralised volcano-sedimentary zone in preparation for subsequent deeper diamond drilling to be undertaken before the end of the year.

Significant gold assay results were returned in two holes (HRC022 & HRC024) ( see Table 1). The better results, which are shown in Figure 7, included:

  • HRC024: 6m @ 2.67g/t Au from 58m , including:

4m @ 3.68g/t Au from 60m; and

2m @ 0.62g/t Au from 28m

 HRC022: 2m @ 1.42g/t Au from 128m

As with previous encouraging drilling at Halloween, the recent RC drilling intersected a broad, intensely sheared, sulphide-bearing sedimentary package, within a mafic volcanic and associated volcaniclastic sequence.

Figure 7 – Simplified geological plan with all previous drill hole locations showing significant mineralised intercepts and proposed new drill hole locations

The high-grade gold intercept in HRC024 is located 150m directly along strike to the west of a previous intersection of 9m @ 3.8g/t Au (including 1m @ 14.0g/t Au ) in hole HRC002, extending the prospective mineralised zone to the west towards the best previously recorded copper intersection at the Project ( 0.15m @ 2.62% Cu, 5.52g/t Ag and 0.31g/t Au in hole HWD002).

Encouragingly, the high-grade gold intersection in HRC024 is contained within a much broader zone of lower grade mineralisation, as reflected in the intersection of 18m @ 1.07g/t gold from 48m (at a 0.1g/t lower cut-off).

Importantly, both of these recent mineralised RC drill intersections also contain anomalous VMS pathfinder elements (including copper, silver, zinc, selenium, tellurium, molybdenum and bismuth), similar to earlier drill intersections, and continue to confirm the presence of a VMS mineralising environment at Halloween.

This suite of pathfinder elements is also consistent with the geochemical signature of the nearby DeGrussa VMS Copper-Gold Deposit.

3D geological and geochemical modelling of the Halloween drilling data commenced late in the Quarter and was recently completed in order to better visualise the geological controls on mineralisation and to evaluate the distribution of geochemical pathfinders along the target horizon.

This work clearly shows a thickened volcano-sedimentary unit over a strike length of 600m with coincident goldcopper-zinc-manganese and sulphur enrichment. Copper values appear to be increasing towards a crosscutting ENE-trending fault zone that may have acted as a primary conduit for mineralising fluids.

A further RC in-fill drill program of 8 holes is currently in progress at Halloween. Following this program, deeper RC and diamond drilling is scheduled to commence in November to test the down-plunge and western extents of the defined copper-gold mineralised zone within the thickest portion of the host package.

Halloween West JV

Halloween West is located immediately along strike and to the west of the 100%-owned Halloween Project and is interpreted to host the western extension of the Halloween VMS trend (see Figure 8 ).

Talisman has recently completed a detailed 100m x 25m soil geochemical program (totalling 1,455 samples) covering the prospective Halloween West horizon. This work has identified a zone of strong Cu-Au-Zn-Bi-Co anomalism at the western end of the Halloween West horizon and is associated with strongly sheared volcanic sediments with possible gossanous iron oxide development that may reflect sulphide mineralisation at depth.

A traverse of RC drill holes has been planned to test the anomaly, with work scheduled to begin during November.

A ground fixed-loop EM survey was also completed over the prospective corridor during the quarter. This work has defined two conductive zones associated with areas of structural complexity which will also be drill tested as part of the upcoming RC drill programme.

Murchison Gold Projects

Livingstone Gold Project (TLM 80%)

The Livingstone Gold Project is located approximately 130km to the north-west of Meekatharra ( Appendix 1 ) and consists of three Exploration Licences covering an area of 208 km².

The Project straddles the western extension of the highly prospective Bryah Basin at the northern margin of the Yilgarn Craton and a major shear zone traverses the entire project with widespread gold intercepts returned by historic percussion drilling programs over a strike length of more than 31km.

As part of Talisman’s ongoing strategy to develop a series of regionally significant, large-scale stand-alone gold projects, a systematic review of the data is underway with a view to evaluating potential targeted drill programmes in 2013.

Muddawerrie Gold Project (TLM 80%)

The Muddawerrie Project is located approximately 100km north-west of Meekatharra in the Murchison Region of Western Australia ( Appendix 1 ). The granted Exploration Licence covers an area of approximately 52 km² and comprises over 16km of prospective Archaean greenstone belt with significant potential to host high-grade, banded iron formation (BIF) and mafic-hosted shear zone gold deposits, similar to those at Mt Magnet and Meekatharra.

The Muddawerrie Project comprises two mineralised trends, Mt Maitland and Muddawerrie, which extend for 6km along the western and eastern sides of the project area respectively. Both trends are characterised by highly anomalous gold geochemistry associated with highly sheared mafic/ultramafic volcanic rocks and BIF coincident with a number of old gold workings along each trend.

No ground-based exploration activities were undertaken during the Quarter, however a systematic review of existing data is underway with the view to evaluating potential drill programmes in 2013.

Shelby Project (TLM 100%)

The 1,816 km² Shelby Project is located along the northern margin of the Bryah Basin approximately 30km north of the Horseshoe Lights Copper-Gold Mine ( Appendix 1 ).

On the basis of its geological setting, the Shelby Project has been identified by Talisman as having the potential to host large Iron Oxide-Copper-Gold (IOCG) deposits (e.g. Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill) and/or a Voisey’s Bay-style mafic-ultramafic intrusive hosted nickel-copper-PGE sulphide deposit.

Previous drilling at the Shelby Project by Talisman has identified strong IOCG-style magnetite alteration (and minor chalcopyrite) associated with ultra-mafic intrusions beneath younger cover. Detailed magnetic data collected by Talisman was reviewed during the Quarter and several magnetic anomalies have been identified along a major regional structure that may be associated with similar intrusive bodies.

These anomalies were subsequently modelled to determine their attitude, depth and significance with respect to hosting possible IOCG-style mineralisation. Assessment of these anomalies is ongoing and will potentially be followed up with detailed gravity surveys to identify denser hematite-copper sulphide mineralisation worthy of further drill testing.

CORPORATE

At the end of the September Quarter, Talisman held $24.8M in cash.
