Drill Results from Talon’s Tamarack North Project Point to Potential

Talon Metals Corp. (TSX:TLO) announced an update on drilling at its Tamarack North nickel-copper-PGM project, located in Minnesota.

One highlight is drill hole 14TK0211, which intercepted 15.94 meters of massive nickel-copper-PGM sulfide mineralization at 7.14 percent nickel, 2.43 percent copper, 0.81 grams per tonne (g/t) platinum and 0.68 g/t palladium. That equates to a nickel equivalent grade basis of 8.49 percent.

The press release also states:

• The massive nickel-copper-PGE sulphide mineralization intercepted in hole 14TK0211 is located approximately 41 meters to the east from the current Massive Sulphide Unit Mineral Zone (‘MSU’) (see Figures 3 and 4 below) that was defined in the Company’s independent mineral resource estimate prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 (‘NI 43-101′) dated August 29, 2014.
• The distance from the previously reported MSU, as well as the width of this exceptionally high grade intercept, is significant and further work is planned for the 2015 winter program.
• Net textured and disseminated mineralization continues to the east of the previously reported Semi Massive Sulphide Unit Mineral Zone (‘SMSU’) with a 47 meter intercept of 0.63% Ni, 0.44% Cu, 0.21 g/t Pt and 0.12 g/t Pd, which equates to a 0.88% NiEq grade basis, within hole 14TK0204. Several massive sulphide veins have been intercepted.
• Net textured and disseminated mineralization continues to the east of the 138 Mineral Zone (‘138 Zone’), including a 24.5 meter intercept of 0.66% Ni, 0.52% Cu, 0.31 g/t Pt and 0.18 g/t Pd, which equates to a 0.98% NiEq grade basis, within hole 14TK0206. Several massive sulphide veins have been intercepted.

Warren Newfield, executive chairman at Talon, commented:

The results from the recent drill program at Tamarack are outstanding. Tamarack has proven itself to be one of the highest grade nickel-copper sulphide deposits currently being explored globally, and has the potential to significantly increase in size. The recent drill program has clearly demonstrated this potential.
