Appendix 1: Competent Persons’ and Cautionary Statements
Exploration Results and Exploration Targets
Information in this presentation that relates to Exploration Results an Exploration Targets is based on, and fairly represents information and supporting
documentation complied by Mr Tim Sharp, who is a member of the Australasian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Sharp is a full-time employee of Talisman
Mining Ltd and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and types of deposits under consideration and to the activities
undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources
and Ore Reserves”. Mr Sharp has reviewed the contents of this presentation and consents to the inclusion in this presentation of all technical statements
based on his information in the form and context in which they appear.
No new information that is considered material is included in this document. All information relating to exploration results has been previously released to
the market and is appropriately referenced in this document. JORC tables are not considered necessary to accompany this document.
Note 1. Cautionary Statement
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.
