Talisker Resources posts Mustang underground face sample results, Bralorne Gold Project, British Columbia
Talisker Resources Ltd. [TSX: TSK; OTCQX: TSKFF] is pleased to report a significant new high-grade gold discovery from underground development on the 1105 Level at the Mustang Mine, Bralorne Gold Project, British Columbia.
Development has exposed a continuous 36-metre strike length of high-grade mineralization along the M1 Vein, comprising a well-defined banded quartz vein averaging 27.88 g/t gold across an average true width of 0.61 metres. Mineralization occurs outside the defined Mineral Resource at time of discovery in a zone where high-grade mineralization had not previously been delineated.
The M series of veins are third order structure that have a different strike and dip orientation to the main second order veins mined by Talisker such as the BK, BK-9870 and Alhambra. Talisker does not specifically target these veins for resource delineation as they are sub-parallel to the drill orientation required to target the larger second order veins, however the veins can be intersected during lateral development.
The M1 Vein is a relatively shallow, north-dipping vein beyond (north of) the BK-9870 vein, and south of the King vein in Mustang. The vein is characterized abundant by crack-seal textures and a sulphide assemblage dominated by pyrite and arsenopyrite, with trace sphalerite. Results highlight the potential for additional high-grade mineralization beyond the current Mineral Resource. The discovery reinforces the strong exploration upside surrounding existing underground infrastructure at the Bralorne Gold Project, British Columbia, Canada.
Highlights: 229.0 g/t over 0.63 metres within 36.6 g/t over 4.60 metres from 1105 M1 Vein, West Face No. 11; 93.1 g/t over 0.63 m within 51.6 g/t over 1.58 m from 1105 M1 Vein, West Face No. 2; 75.2 g/t over 0.94 m within 28.5 g/t over 2.95 m from 1105 M1 Vein, West Face No. 12; 62.4 g/t over 1.19 m within 33.4 g/t over 2.32 m from 1105 M1 Vein, West Face No. 14; 50.4 g/t over 0.61 m within 28.3 g/t over 2.38 m from 1105 M1 Vein, West Face No. 6; 46.2 g/t over 0.52 m within 15.0 g/t over 2.73 m from 1105 M1 Vein, West Face No. 10 and 42.8 g/t over 1.09 m within 30.1 g/t over 1.58 m from 1105 M1 Vein, West Face No. 13.
Terry Harbort, CEO of Talisker commented, “These results continue to demonstrate the exceptional exploration potential at Bralorne. Defining a high-grade shoot of this scale outside the Mineral Resource at time of discovery underscores the opportunity to identify additional mineralization and potentially expand the resource near existing underground infrastructure.”
Talisker’s flagship asset is the high-grade, fully permitted Bralorne Gold Project where the company is producing at the Mustang Mine. Talisker projects also include the Ladner Gold Project, an historic high-grade gold mine near Hope, British Columbia, with significant exploration potential, and the Spences Bridge Project, where the company has a significant landholding in the emerging Spences Bridge Gold Belt, as well as several other early-stage Greenfields projects.
