Talon Metals (TSX:TLO) provided an exploration update regarding work at its Tamarack North nickel-copper-PGE project in Minnesota.
As quoted in the press release:
As reported in the Company’s press release on May 11, 2015, the main goal of the 2015 winter exploration program was to explore areas along the Tamarack Igneous Complex (“TIC”) that are significant step-outs from the current Massive Sulphide Unit Mineral Zone (“MSU”), Semi Massive Sulphide Unit Mineral Zone (“SMSU”) and the 138 Zone (collectively referred to as the “Tamarack Zone”).
In regards to the 2015 winter exploration program, on May 28, 2015 the Company reported a new discovery of massive sulphides located approximately 1.6 km northeast of the Tamarack Zone (drill hole 15TK0221), in an area within the Tamarack North Project known as the 480 Zone (see Annexes A – C). Following the drilling of this hole, a downhole electromagnetic (“DHEM”) survey showed an off-hole anomaly located approximately 80 to 100 meters to the northwest of the hole at a depth of 700 to 800 meters below surface. A follow-up drill program is currently underway at site.
The primary purpose of this news release is to announce the results from the remaining holes drilled and assayed during the 2015 winter exploration program. For a map with collar locations of these drill holes please see Annexes A and C. The assay results are attached at Annex B.
Talon CEO, Henri van Rooyen, said:
We are pleased with the results of the 2015 winter exploration program at Tamarack. Previously, we announced a new discovery 1.6 km northeast of the Company’s resource area (the Tamarack Zone), and now we have identified mineralization trending as far as 4 km south of the Company’s resource area. Kennecott has already re-commenced drilling at Tamarack, with an initial focus on the high priority target area discussed in the Company’s previous press release on May 28, 2015. We look forward to updating our shareholders soon.
