Wide Zones of Shallow Gold Mineralisation
Intersected in Drilling at Walkers Hill Project, NSW
Next phase of drilling planned for next quarter to further evaluate extensive 4.5km long anomaly
Highlights:
Lachlan Projects, NSW
Walkers Hill Gold Project
• 5-hole, 755m Reverse Circulation drilling program completed at the new Sheepyard Prospect.
• The drilling tested part of the extensive Walkers Hill gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly coincident with a
strong Pole-Dipole Induced Polarisation (PDIP) chargeability feature at depth.
• Four of five holes intersected broad zones of shallow, low-grade gold mineralisation, with assay results
including:
• SYRC0001
o 10m at 0.36g/t Au from 22m; and
o 41m at 0.29g/t Au from162m
• SYRC0002
o 16m at 0.38g/t Au from 124m, including 4m at 0.99 g/t Au
• SYRC0003
o 42m at 0.44g/t Au from 4m, including 8m at 0.85g/t Au
• SYRC0004
o 24m at 0.58g/t Au from 124m, including 14m at 0.86g/t Au
• Drilled gold mineralisation associated with thin quartz veining, alteration and pyrite in a broad northeast trend.
• Gold mineralisation at depth in holes SYRC0001, SYRC0002 and SYRC0004 is associated with pyrite
mineralisation and alteration, coincident with the position of the PDIP chargeability feature.
• Both the shallow and deeper gold mineralisation is anomalous in arsenic, antimony and tungsten,
typical of orogenic-style gold sulphide mineralisation.
• Several other subparallel mineralisation trends have been identified at the Sheepyard Prospect which
warrant follow-up to test the grade of mineralisation in the near-surface environment.
•
Sheepyard is part of the larger, Walkers Hill gold-in-soil anomaly along a major geological contact and
stretching over 4.0km north-west of the recent drilling. Follow-up programs of exploration are currently
being planned.
Talisman Mining (ASX: TLM, ‘Talisman’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to advise that it has received laboratory assay
results from the recently completed program of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling at its Walkers Hill Project, located
approximately 60km north-west of Condobolin in NSW, as indicated in announcements of 17th June and 25th July
2025.

Walkers Hill Project (EL 8571) – RC drilling
The Walkers Hill Project (Figure 1 and 2) contains the extensive Walkers Hill gold-in-soil trend, extending over an
area of approximately 4.5km by 2.0km
Historical exploration results (see TLM ASX announcements 17 th June and 25th July) within the Sheepyard
Prospect (Figures 3 and 4) of the Walkers Hill Project include:
•
•
RC drilling:
o
40m at 0.46g/t Au from 3m (PMV005).
o
12m at 0.38g/t Au from surface (TMY027).
o
All mineralised holes ended in oxide and drilling was limited to 60m below surface.
A Pole Dipole Induced Polarisation (PDIP) geophysical survey on two lines completed in 2023 revealed a
significant chargeability anomaly below the mineralised historical RC drill intercepts (Figure 4).

RC Drill Program Results
During August 2025 Talisman completed a total of five Reverse Circulation (RC) holes for 755m to test both
historical near-surface mineralisation and the PDIP chargeability feature, with holes designed up to 200m depth
(Figures 2 to 5).
The drilling tested part of an extensive gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly above the strong Pole-Dipole Induced
Polarisation (PDIP) chargeability feature.
Four of five holes intersected broad zones of low-grade gold mineralisation, with laboratory assays including:
•
•
SYRC0001
o
10m at 0.36g/t Au from 22m; and
o
41m at 0.29g/t Au from162m
SYRC0002
o
•
SYRC0003
o
•
16m at 0.38g/t Au from 124m including 4m at 0.99g/t Au
42m at 0.44g/t Au from 4m including 8m at 0.85g/t Au
SYRC0004
o
24m at 0.58g/t Au from 124m including 14m at 0.86g/t Au
Surface mapping and geological logging of RC chips show shallow gold mineralisation within the Ordovicianage Girilambone metasediments occurs within thin quartz veining interpreted to be in a broad north-east
trending fault zone (Figure 3). Deeper gold mineralisation encountered in holes SYRC0001, SYRC0002 and
SYRC0004 is associated with thin quartz veining and selvedge disseminated pyrite mineralisation, coincident
with the position of the PDIP conductor.
Shallow and deeper gold mineralisation is anomalous in arsenic, antimony and tungsten, typical of orogenicstyle gold sulphide mineralisation. Several other mineralised trends have been identified within the
Sheepyard gold-in-soil anomaly which warrant follow-up for both the near-surface oxide and deeper
hypogene mineralisation.
Sheepyard is part of a larger, Walkers Hill Project gold-in-soil trend along a major geological contact which
stretches for over 4.0km to the north-west of the recent drilling (Figure 2).

Au with ≤ 6m internal dilution.
Management Comment
Talisman’s Managing Director, Andrew Munckton, said: "We are encouraged by the results received from our
maiden 2025 drilling program at the Walkers Hill Project, with the recent 5-hole RC program at the Sheepyard
Prospect delivering wide zones of shallow, low-grade gold mineralisation in four of the five holes drilled. This
includes intercepts of up to 42m at 0.44g/t Au from 4m in hole SYRC0003.
“In addition, the RC drilling has also confirmed that the PDIP chargeability anomaly at Sheepyard is associated
with elevated pyrite and alteration which accompanies the gold mineralisation. This deeper mineralisation has
been intersected over broad zones of up to 40m down-hole and, while generally low grade, does contain narrower
intervals of higher-grade mineralisation such as 14m at 0.86g/t Au in SYRC0004.
“Importantly, the mineralisation can be detected using geophysics – and we are encouraged to see the potential
for higher gold grades in parts of the mineralisation. "
“This opens the entire 4.5km long zone of mineralisation stretching from Sheepyard to Maroonbah for follow-up
exploration. The team now have a much clearer vector for targeting higher-grade mineralisation associated with
these features and major structural positions.
“Sheepyard remains a small part of the much larger Walkers Hill soil anomaly. The Maroonbah Prospect to the
north-west of Sheepyard appears to be the larger and stronger soil anomaly and we are looking forward to
accessing this for initial exploration work in the December quarter.”

ASX Announcement
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 1040 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. Mabel Creek is surrounded
by similar tenure owned and being actively explored by Australia’s biggest resource companies including BHP,
Rio Tinto and FMG.
Competent Person’s Statement

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 samples are collected at either one metre or two metre
intervals via a drill rig mounted cyclone and static cone
splitter set to a 12% split to produce a nominal 4-7kg
sample which was collected in a pre-numbered sample
bag.
RC samples undergo routine 2 metre composite pXRF
analysis using an Olympus Vanta M-series to aid in logging
and identifying zones of interest.
Sampling is controlled by Talisman protocols and QAQC
procedures as per industry standard and a chain of custody
maintained through transfer to ALS Laboratories in
Adelaide, SA.
RC samples were dried, crushed (where required), split
and pulverised (total prep) to produce a master pulp. From
this master pulp, a 0.25g sub sample was taken for multielement analysis by four acid digest with an ICP-MS finish.
A 50g sub sample was also taken for fire assay for gold
with ICP-AAS finish.
Triako RC drilling, cited in this report, collected samples via
a plastic bag hooked beneath a cyclone mounted on the
side of the drill rig. Approximately 20 kg was collected per 1
metre sample interval. Samples were speared on site and
composited into 4m intervals for assay. Several 1m
speared samples were also collected, with gold assay
results generally within a few percent of the corresponding
1m riffle split intervals. This suggests that gold is relatively
evenly distributed, and the spearing method of sampling is
adequate. Reference: Triako Third Annual Exploration
Report, 2003 (R00048055).
Paradigm Metals. RC drilling cited in this report, provided
no specific information on sampling techniques. However, it
was noted that samples were submitted for assay as
composites over 2m, 3m, 4m, and 6m intervals. Reference:

lack of bias) and precision have been

QAQC protocols for all RC sampling involved the use of
certified reference materials as assay standards, inserted
at a 1 in 25 sampling rate.
Blank samples were inserted inserted immediately after
samples that were duplicated using a Certified Reference
Material (CRM) 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 1m or 2m composite RC sample undergoes routine
pXRF analysis using an 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.
Standard reference materials were periodically analysed
by the pXRF instrument to monitor performance

Triako RC drilling cited in this report was sampled as 4
metre composites and subsequent 1 metre composites
were assayed at ALS in Orange. All samples were
assayed for Au by 50g Fire Assay (method Au-AA26) and
Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, As, Sb, Bi, Mo by ICP (method ME
ICP41). Reference Triako Third Annual Exploration Report
2003 R00048055.
Paradigm Exploration, cited in this report, submitted 2, 3,
and 6 metre composite samples for assay at ALS. Only
gold was analysed, using 50 g Fire Assay (method AuAA26). Reference: Paradigm Exploration, Licence 7697

Walkers Hill Project (Historical Soil Geochemistry)
A comprehensive review of all publicly available soil
geochemistry data within the NSW MinView database, as
of June 2024, was undertaken by Geochem Pacifica
across the Lachlan Project tenements during 2024–2025.
The objective was to optimise the dataset for sub-setting,
data levelling, gridding, and spatial analysis. As part of this
process, each sample was assigned an Assay Class
designation to distinguish assays obtained from strong
laboratory digestions from those generated by weak or
partial digestions. Additional data cleaning steps included
the removal of duplicate entries (both QA/QC duplicates
and double-reported results), correction of misreported
units, particularly for Au, Ag, As, Bi, Cu, Pb, Sb, and Zn
and the correction or recovery of below detection limit
values where possible, including retrieval from original
