Talisker Receives Positive Ore Sorting Results for the Bralorne Gold Project

Press Release

TORONTO, Feb. 26, 2025 Talisker Resources Ltd. (“ Talisker ” or the “ Company ”) (TSX: TSK, OTCQX: TSKFF) is pleased to announce promising results from preliminary testing of ore sorting technologies at its Bralorne Gold Project located in British Columbia. A series of samples were collected from multiple zones within the Bralorne Mine Area to evaluate the potential effectiveness of laser sorting.

Key Highlights

  • Results indicate strong associations between gold and quartz, indicating that laser sorting technology could be highly effective in enhancing the efficiency of ore processing.
  • Laser concentration produced an increase from the average feed grade of 14.4 grams per tonne gold to a final sorted product grade of 27.8 grams per tonne gold.
  • Sorting rejected between 35% and 55% of total rock mass and achieved gold recoveries of between 95% and 99%.

Terry Harbort, CEO of Talisker stated, “The excellent results are part of ongoing efforts to further evaluate and optimize ore sorting technology as a key part of the future mining strategy at the Bralorne Gold Project. The potential to increase operational efficiencies and reduce costs through advanced sorting technologies represents a significant step forward for the Company’s resource development plans.”

Brent Hilscher, Vice President of Mineral Processing at ABH Engineering, commented: “Laser sorting is demonstrating the potential for very sharp separation between ore and waste based on quartz association. These results are very promising, and we are encouraged by the efficiency and selectivity of the technology in identifying and isolating high-value material.”

The study focused on five zones within four distinct domains, segmented by host rock lithology. The tested zones included King, Pioneer, Bralorne (Bralorne East, Bralorne West), and Charlotte. Approximately 80 HQ and NQ ½ core samples ranging from 1” to 3” in length were collected from each domain. An even distribution of gold grade ranges was selected from each of the five zones representing dilution gold grades, low gold grades, medium gold grades, and high gold grades.

The samples were shipped to Tomra’s test centre in Wedel, Germany where they underwent ore sorter testing using X-Ray Transmission (XRT) sorting and laser sorting technologies. The Bralorne samples responded well to the laser sorting technology. Upon completion of the ore sorter testing, samples were sent to ALS Laboratories for gold analysis by fire assay and multi-element analysis by four acid digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.
