Talon Metals Corp. (TSX:TLO) announced that via its subsidiary, Talon Nickel (USA) LLC, it has entered into a definitive agreement with Kennecott Exploration Co., a subsidiary of the Rio Tinto Group.

• An original Kennecott discovery, which is currently at an advanced-stage of exploration with more than 72,000 meters having been drilled by Kennecott;
• High grade semi-massive, massive and mixed mineralized zones, which are potentially open in all directions;
• Excellent infrastructure with grid power and a railway line on site;
• Right to acquire a 30% interest in the Tamarack Project, with a potential pathway to owning 100% of the project;
• Low risk, staged farm-in over a 3 year period.
