Talisker Increases Bralorne Gold Project Diamond Drill Program to 105,000 Metres
TORONTO, April 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Talisker Resources Ltd. (“Talisker” or the “Company”) (TSX: TSK, OTCQB: TSKFF) is pleased to announce that the Company has increased its diamond drill program from 30,000 metres to 105,000 metres. The program will consist of 83,000 metres of resource conversion drilling at the Mustang, Bralorne West and Olympus areas and 22,000 metres of exploration drilling targeting veins at Congress and Pioneer Deeps.
Drilling at Mustang (33,000 metres) will focus on extending stopes of the Alhambra, BK and BK9870 veins from the 1030 to the 980 levels, directly below where Talisker is actively mining and developing, as well as along strike to the west. An additional 25,000 metres will be drilled at Bralorne West targeting veins scheduled for mining late 2026, 2027 and 2028. A further 25,000 metres of drilling will be conducted at the Olympus area to support resource conversion for the upcoming mine plan.
Talisker will also be initiating drilling at the Congress area, located approximately 15 kilometres to the north of Mustang. A total of 12,000 metres of surface drilling is planned, targeting extensions of known veins along strike and down dip. A further 10,000 metres of exploratory drilling will also be conducted at Pioneer Deeps with a view to delineate a new series of ore bodies first discovered by Talisker drilling in 2021. Drilling will test ore body extensions along strike of the original drilling that reported 1.17 g/t Au over 106.75m (see news release of June 22, 2021).
Terry Harbort, CEO of Talisker stated, “Drilling and development are the life blood of any mine, defining a clear path for future production and providing operational certainty and contingency. The extensive resource conversion drilling at Mustang and Bralorne West increases the confidence of our medium term mine plan while the drilling at Olympus will confirm the operational pathway at our planned second mine. Drilling at Congress, 15 kilometres to the north of the main Bralorne camp, will be the first to be conducted by Talisker and will test extensions to the historic resource.”
