Talon Metals intercepts new high-grade nickel-copper mineralisation

Brian Goldner, Chief Exploration and Operations Officer of Talon said:

“New drilling shows us that the Tamarack Intrusive Complex can be a district-scale nickel-copper resource right here in the United States. We’ve moved nearly 2 miles outside of the company’s current nickel-copper resource area and successfully intercepted high-grade nickel-copper in a different intrusion (new system) as compared to the current resource area. While still early in the process, these preliminary results provide definitive evidence that the Tamarack Intrusive Complex has district-scale potential, and as a consequence of these exciting initial results, we intend to make further exploration along the Tamarack Intrusive Complex a priority in 2023.”

Goldner continued: “Last year’s discovery of the shallow high-grade nickel mineralisation in the CGO West area started with only a small 1.3 m intercept of high-grade nickel massive sulfide – that mineralization ultimately grew to nearly 14 m thick only 25 m away. I expect this same thickening could occur in the new area called the “Raptor Zone”, especially with the amount of unexplored space we have to work with.”

Todd Malan, Chief External Affairs Officer and Head of Climate Strategy at Talon added:

“The prospect that the United States may host more high-grade nickel mineralisation within its domestic mineral endowment is very timely. In the last year, over US$30 billion in investment has been committed for new nickel battery manufacturing in the US. We have more exploration drilling to undertake with our in-house team to understand if these new areas have a resource that is of the size and quality to represent an economic and mineable resource, but these results show where we need to target our drilling teams. America is currently dependent on foreign sources of battery grade nickel. If we can find more high-grade nickel in the US, we can start to reduce our dependency on China, Russia and Indonesia for nickel and other battery minerals.”
