Talisker Initiates 2020 Greenfields Exploration Program
TORONTO, ONTARIO / ACCESSWIRE / June 18, 2020 / Talisker Resources Ltd. ("Talisker" or the "Company") (CSE:TSK) (OTCQB:TSKFF) is pleased to announce that the Company has initiated its 2020 greenfields exploration program at its wholly-owned Spences Bridge and Remington Gold Projects.
A team of 20 geologists will implement the program that will focus on the completion of the regional stream sediment geochemical program initiated in 2019 (Phase 1). In addition, the team will conduct a systematic evaluation of the over 100 new geochemical anomalies generated from the 2019 exploration program. This Phase 2 program will consist of 6,500 soil samples planned to cover three large prospect areas defined by multi-element, multi-basin anomalies. In addition, the Company plans on completing permitting for a planned drill program at the Golden Hornet and Dora Gold Projects late in the 2020 field season. Drilling at the Dora Gold Project will target low sulphidation epithermal veining associated to contact breccias on the margins of hyperbyssal felsic intrusives.
Historical work on the Golden Hornet zone identified of a NW trending sheet vein system with trench sample intercepts of 27 g/t Au over 2 meters; 22.1 g/t Au over 5.2 meters; 4.17 g/t Au over 14 meters; and 1.32 g/t Au over 17 meters, among others. Confirmation grab sampling of the veins returned values of 26.1g/t and 12g/t gold. The Company notes that these selected samples are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the Golden Hornet property and limited drilling has been completed.
Terry Harbort, President & CEO of Talisker commented, "We are very excited to have our team back in the field following the postponement of work due to the Covid-19 crisis. We look to continue the success of our aggressive 2019 program and advancing our extensive pipeline to drill stage."
The Company is also pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive purchase agreement with an arm's length vendor to purchase the SC Property (166.24 hectares) which is contiguous to the Dora Gold Project. Talisker plans to include the SC Property in the Dora Gold drill permit application. The SC Property contains a large gold in soil anomaly directly above a mapped rhyolitic body hosted within the Spences Bridge Volcanics. The historical trenches exposed strongly silicified rhyolite, hosting stockwork banded low-sulphidation veins and anomalous values up to 1.7 g/t Au. The SC property extends the geochemical anomaly present at Dora which includes historical rock samples as high as 7.68 g/t Au and represents an additional target within the Dora project. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Talisker has agreed to pay $30,000 cash and will issue 150,000 shares to the vendor along with a 1% NSR in return for 100% ownership of the SC Property. The NSR can be purchased by Talisker for $500,000. The common shares issued will be subject to a four month hold period pursuant to applicable securities laws.
