Announcement PDF 6 November 2023 Second Wide Lead-Zinc-Silver Intercept Expands Prospective Horizon to +1km at Rip N Tear Hole MYRC0003 hits 84m at 1.5% Pb, 15g/t Ag and 0.1% Zn, 1km along strike from recent intercept of 192m at 1.3% Pb, and 10g/t Ag. Highlights: • Further significant assay results received from recent Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling designed to test MLEM conductors at the Rip N Tear Prospect, part of the Lachlan Project in NSW. • Assays have been returned for hole MYRC0003, which intersected a zone of disseminated galena (lead) (Pb), silver (Ag), sphalerite (zinc) (Zn), minor chalcopyrite (copper) (Cu) and pyrite: o 84m at 1.54% Pb, 14.6g/t Ag and 0.08% Zn from 184m to 268m down-hole (MYRC0003), including: o 42m at 1.95% Pb, 17.0g/t Ag, 0.15% Zn and 0.10% Cu from 226m to 268m, including: o 6m at 2.56% Pb, 14.6g/t Ag and 0.70% Zn from 262m to 268m End-of-Hole (EOH). o The RC hole was suspended at 268m in mineralisation. • Wide zones of lead, silver, zinc and minor copper mineralisation have now been intersected in two holes spaced approximately 1,000m apart targeting the 2.5km long Northern MLEM anomaly. Both holes ended in mineralisation. • Four other RC holes, MYRC0003 to MYRC0007, have been completed at broad spacing to test a second MLEM conductor. These holes intersected similar geology and alteration to those observed in MYRC0002 and MYRC0003 and recorded anomalous Pb, Zn and sulphide mineralisation via pXRF field analysis1. Assays are pending for all holes. • Six of the seven RC holes drilled to date ended in mineralisation, short of the MLEM target depth and will be extended with a series of diamond drill holes. • A diamond drill rig is expected to be mobilised in the next week to commence diamond core tails, commencing with MYRC0002 and MYRC0003. • A further three RC holes are planned to be completed at the Northern Conductor during November to confirm the continuity of mineralisation between MYRC0002 and MYRC0003 and test for extensions of the mineralisation underneath the MLEM anomaly a further 1,000m to the west of MYRC0002. 1 Further to its announcement of 20 October 2023, Talisman Mining Limited (ASX: TLM, Talisman) is pleased to advise that it has received assays confirming that recent wide-spaced Reverse Circulation has intersected a second, wide zone of disseminated lead-silver-zinc mineralisation at the Rip N Tear Prospect, part of its 100%-owned Lachlan Project. Rip N Tear is the first area to be tested as part of a 7,200m Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling campaign currently underway at four priority prospects in the Lachlan Project (see Figure 1). Assays have so far been received for the first three holes drilled at Rip N Tear, where an initial, broad-spaced 1,650m RC drilling program commenced in early September. Figure 1 – Lachlan Project location plan highlighting prospect locations along the Canbelego Mineral-Hill Volcanic Belt. 2 The Rip N Tear prospect is an under-explored target defined by strongly anomalous base metal soil geochemistry containing two large, coherent conductive MLEM anomalies. (ASX announcement 8 May 2023). The prospect is situated within a complex structural setting associated with NNE and NE trending faults which are interpreted to provide a pathway for mineralised fluids from local granite intrusions. Historic drilling has been limited to three percussion holes (~61m deep, drilled in 1970’s). The current program consists of seven RC holes designed to test the two conductive anomalies at depth at approximately 800m to 1,000m drill-hole spacing. Results Northern MLEM anomaly and soil geochemistry (see Figure 2 and Figure 3): • RC drilling has so far intersected two broad zones of disseminated galena, silver, minor sphalerite and pyrite. Results include: o o MYRC0002 – 192m at 1.3% Pb, 10.0g/t Ag and 0.06% Zn from 40m to 232m at Endof-Hole (EOH), including: § 20m at 2.7% Pb, 24.5g/t Ag and 0.01% Zn from 194m to 214m, within: § 68m at 1.7% Pb, 16.1g/t Ag and 0.02% Zn from 164m to 232m EOH. MYRC0003 – 84m at 1.54% Pb, 14.6g/t Ag, 0.08% Zn and 0.05% Cu from 186m to 268m at End-of-Hole (EOH), including: § 42m at 1.95% Pb, 17.0g/t Ag, 0.15% Zn and 0.10% Cu from 226m to 268m, including: § 6m at 2.56% Pb, 14.6g/t Ag and 0.70% Zn from 262m to 268m EOH. • Both MYRC0002 and MYRC0003, which are located approximately 1,000m apart, were suspended in mineralisation due to RC drilling conditions. Diamond drilling tails are planned for these two RC holes to fully test the targeted MLEM conductor. • MYRC0002 results were first reported in late October (see ASX announcement 20 October). Southern MLEM anomaly and soil geochemistry (see Figure 2 and Figure 3): • Five RC holes completed – MYRC0001 and MYRC0004 to MYRC0007. • MYRC0001 was terminated at 194m – 100m from the target due to RC drilling conditions. • Holes MYRC0004 to MYRC0007 intersected a broad zone of disseminated galena, silver, minor sphalerite and pyrite as shown by anomalous pXRF results (see Note 1). Refer to ASX announcement 20 October. • Assay results are expected in November. 3 Figure 2 – Rip N Tear RC drilling over MLEM survey image and underlying structural geology map. Geology and Mineralisation The Rip N Tear prospect is located within EL8615 on the eastern edge of the Canbelego - Mineral Hill Rift Zone (Figure 1), adjacent to a large, controlling, basin margin, NW-SE oriented structure. Devonian age sediments of the Ewolong Formation (sandstone and conglomerate) and Gwando Siltstone host the prospect. To the west lies the older Ordovician age Girilambone Group, which is intruded by the early Devonian-age Yellow Mountain Granite. The granite intrusion(s) are interpreted to be the source of heat, fluid and metal for several other lead-silver-zinc and copper-gold deposits and mineralised prospects along the Mineral Hill Rift. Rip N Tear is cut by two NW-SE trending faults interpreted to be transverse faults in a rift setting. Anomalous lead-in-soil geochemistry results and the coincident MLEM response in Figure 2 and Figure 3 highlight the proximity of the faults to the surface expression of the mineralisation. Broad zones of disseminated sulphides in fresh rock, are associated with sericite alteration in sandstone, siltstone and coarse angular quartz breccia/conglomerate. Sulphides, illustrated in Figure 4, are generally fine-grained and pervade the detrital matrix of the host sandstone and siltstone intersected in MYRC0002 and MYRC0003. 4 Figure 3 – Rip N Tear drilling over MLEM conductivity heat map and underlying geology and structural interpretation. 5 Figure 4 – Rip N Tear RC chip trays containing sulphide-rich mineralised sandstone. MYRC0003 –160m to 268m. The intersection from 184m to 268m EOH, (84m down-hole) averages 1.54% Pb, 14.6g/t Ag and 0.08% Zn including a higher-grade section of 42m at 1.95% Pb, 17.0g/t Ag, 0.15% Zn and 0.10% Cu from 226m to end of hole. Note fine disseminated sulphides filling the matrix of the sandstone host rock. Next Steps Further assays are expected to be received for the remaining four RC holes at Rip N Tear during November. The diamond drill rig will be mobilised to the project and will commence drilling diamond tails from MYRC0002 and MYRC0003 shortly. The RC rig will be returning to Rip n Tear in November to complete further RC drilling (see Figures 2 and 3 for planned RC drill hole locations). These holes will target: • In-fill at approximately 500m hole spacing between MYRC0002 and MYRC0003 to confirm continuity of the mineralisation beneath the Northern MLEM anomaly. • Test the extent of the mineralisation approximately 1,000m west of MYRC0002 at 500m spacing beneath the Northern MLEM anomaly. • Potential additional RC drilling at the Southern MLEM anomaly is subject to assay results from MYRC0004 to MYRC0007 and diamond drilling progress. Additional ground-based MLEM surveys and soil/auger geochemical surveys are expected to be mobilised during the December Quarter to investigate if other large targets exist along the structural corridor north-east of the current drilling. 6 Management Comment Talisman’s Managing Director, Andrew Munckton, said: “The assay results in MYRC0003, coupled with the wide intersections received in late October from MYRC0002, have demonstrated the extensive nature of the mineralized system intersected at Rip n Tear. Both holes targeted the Northern MLEM anomaly. “The zones containing the disseminated galena, silver, sphalerite, minor chalcopyrite and pyrite are strongly sericite altered and hosted in sandstone and siltstone. Towards the bottom-of-hole in both MYRC0002 and MYRC0003, the mineralisation appears to be increasing in grade with 20m of 2.7% Pb and 24.5g/t Ag intersected from 194m down-hole in MYRC0002 and 42m at 1.95% Pb, 17g/t Ag, 0.15% Zn and 0.10% Cu from 226m to end of hole in MYRC0003. “Importantly, the zones of lead, silver, zinc and copper mineralisation intersected at depth in both holes correspond closely to the extensive, modelled MLEM targets and surface Pb-in-soil anomalies – confirming the conductor to be a mineralized base metal sulphide zone. The Northern MLEM target is extensive and spans over 3km in length. “We believe that the RC drilling and the planned diamond tails will define the style, nature and extent of the mineralisation at the two chargeable anomalies. The targets remain open to the north-east and further MLEM surveys are planned to test if the conductive features continue along the interpreted structure within the tenure. “We are looking forward to receiving the assay results for the remaining RC holes at the southern MLEM conductor to confirm the nature, variability and extent of the mineralization at this second exciting prospect. “Our geologists are looking forward to the arrival of the diamond drill rig and to be able to gain a more accurate picture of the orientation and style of lead-silver-zinc-copper sulphide mineralisation and to test this extensive structural corridor and emerging mineralized system with further drilling.” Ends For further information, please contact: Andrew Munckton - Managing Director on +61 4 3563 5598 Nicholas Read (Media inquiries) on +61 4199 29046 This release has been authorised by the Board of Talisman Mining Limited. 7 Table 1: Drill-hole information summary Details and coordinates of the RC Holes relevant to this release.

Cautionary Statement - The references to the presence of anomalism recorded in pXRF are not considered to be a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses. Determination of mineralisation has been based on geological logging, visual observation and confirmation using a pXRF machine. No pXRF results are reported however the tool was used to verify the mineralisation. pXRF readings may not be representative of the average concentrations of the elements of interest in a certain volume of material. As such, pXRF results are used as a logging/sampling verification tool only. Laboratory analysis will be required to determine the level of mineralisation contained in the mineralised zones. Visual estimates of mineral abundance or anomalism recorded on pXRF should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations. 9 About Talisman Mining Talisman Mining Limited (ASX:TLM) is an Australian mineral development and exploration company. The Company’s aim is to maximise shareholder value through exploration, discovery and development of complementary opportunities in base and precious metals. Talisman has secured tenements in the Cobar/Mineral Hill region in Central NSW through the grant of its own Exploration Licenses and through a joint venture agreement. The Cobar/Mineral Hill region is a richly mineralised district that hosts several base and precious metal mines including the CSA, Tritton, and Hera/Nymagee mines. This region contains highly prospective geology that has produced many long-life, high-grade mineral discoveries. Talisman has identified several areas within its Lachlan Cu-Au Project tenements that show evidence of base and precious metals endowment which have had very little modern systematic exploration completed to date. Talisman believes there is significant potential for the discovery of substantial base metals and gold mineralisation within this land package and is undertaking active exploration to test a number of these targets. Talisman also has secured access to over 1000 km2 of highly prospective tenure in South Australia’s Gawler Craton known as the Mabel Creek Project. Mabel Creek is prospective for large scale Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) deposits and intrusion related rare earths and battery metals mineralisation. Mable Creek is surrounded by similar tenure owned and being actively explored by Australia’s biggest resource companies including BHP, Rio Tinto and FMG.

From this master pulp, a 0.25g sub sample was taken for multielement analysis by four acid digest with an ICP-MS finish. A 30g sub sample was also taken for fire assay for gold with ICP-AES finish. Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, openhole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). • RC drilling cited in this report was undertaken by Strike Drilling Pty Ltd using a LC36 (KWL 700) truck-mounted Reverse Circulation drill rig. A truck-mounted booster and compressor provided high pressure air with an auxiliary compressor used where ground conditions warranted. RC drilling was completed with a face sampling hammer of nominal 140mm size. • Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. • • Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. • • • Drilling techniques Drill sample recovery Commentary • • Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down-hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. • • • RC drill sample recovery is generally high with sample recoveries and quality recorded in the database by the logging geologist Sample recoveries were monitored in real-time by the presence of Talisman personnel at the drill site. No known relationship exists between recovery and grade and no known bias exists. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether 11 Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

RC logging is both qualitative and quantitative depending on the field being logged. All RC drill-holes are logged in full to end of hole. RC samples were dried, crushed (where required), split and pulverised (total prep) to produce a 0.25g sub sample for base metal analysis or a 30g sub sample for gold analysis by fire assay QAQC protocols for all RC sampling involved the use of Certified Reference Material (CRM) as assay standards. All QAQC controls and measures were routinely reviewed. Sample size is considered appropriate for geochemical sampling for base-metal and gold mineralisation given the nature of drilling and anticipated distribution of mineralisation. Field duplicates were collected at a 1 in 30 sample rate. QAQC protocols for all RC sampling involved the use of certified reference materials as assay standards, inserted at a 1 in 50 sampling rate. Blank samples were inserted at a 1 in 50 sampling rate using a certified reference material coarse blank. All assays are required to conform to the procedural QAQC guidelines as well as routine laboratory QAQC guidelines. All QAQC controls and measures were routinely reviewed. Laboratory checks (repeats) occurred at a frequency of 1 in 25. Field duplicates returned a reasonable level of precision with some minor variation in Au attributed to nugget effect of gold mineralisation. Each 2m composite RC sample undergoes routine pXRF analysis using a Olympus Vanta M-series to aid in logging and identifying zones of interest. All pXRF readings were taken in Geo-Exploration mode with a 45 second 3 beam reading.
