Extends Mineralisation At Tamarack Project
Talon Metals Corp. (TSX: TLO) has intersected high-grade massive sulphide mineralisation at the Tamarack Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project in Minnesota, USA. The Tamarack Project comprises the Tamarack North Project and the Tamarack South Project.
Highlights:
- Drill hole 20TK0273 intersected 8.39m of high-grade massive sulphide mineralisation starting at 414.73m
- Drill hole 20TK0273 was targeting a geophysical (BHEM) anomaly that was refined during the recent resurveying of historic drill hole 15TK0219.
Head of Exploration, Brian Goldner, said the results indicate an extension of mineralisation to the north of historic intercepts of thick mineralisation.
“We are excited by the results from this latest drill hole,” Mr Goldner said.
“The recent geophysical programme that focused on running Borehole Electro-Magnetic surveys down existing boreholes has helped to refine off-hole anomalies into exciting new targets.
“The eastern limb of the high-grade Massive Sulphide Unit at the Tamarack Project has thick massive sulphide intercepts at both the north and south ends of the limb, but the middle had previously only produced thinner intercepts in historical drilling.
“With our high resolution BHEM we are able to show that the historic holes with thin intercepts in this zone have off-hole BHEM anomalies like the one drilled in 20TK0273, suggesting that there may be additional thick intercepts.”
Talon has continued its ongoing drill programme at the Tamarack Project with three recent drill holes focusing on expanding the high-grade massive sulphide mineralisation from the current resource area,
The recent geophysical programme focused on running high resolution BHEM surveys with Talon’s internal geophysical crew. Hole 15TK0219 was one of these holes that was resurveyed and produced an off-hole anomaly approximately 25m west of hole 15TK0219.
Drill hole 20TK0273 was targeting the plate identified from the BHEM survey on 15TK0219 and intersected 8.39m of high-grade massive sulphide mineralisation, starting at 414.73m (assays pending).
The BHEM programme has identified off-hole BHEM anomalies along the 140m zone of massive sulphide mineralisation within the company’s resource area that could potentially result in finding additional mineralisation.
Drill hole 20TK0272 was also located along the eastern limb targeting a BHEM plate identified from drill hole 15TK0220A and intersected 22.12m of weak to moderate sulphide mineralisation, starting at 385m, including 1.35m of mixed massive sulphides (assays pending). A BHEM survey down this hold has identiafied an off-hole BHEM anomaly for potential follow-up.
Drill hole 20TK0270 was testing a potential 150m extension from the current resource area on the western limb of the Massive Sulphide Unit (MSU) and intersected a thin zone of mixed massive sulphides at the base of the intrusion.
Overall, results suggest the possibility of extending wide, massive mineralisation to the north of drill hole 14TK0211.
