East Peak Hill
• 4,500m follow-up Aircore drilling program underway at Talisman’s East Peak Hill (EPH) Prospect.
• EPH sits adjacent to the Tomingley Gold Project1
(1.36Moz at 2.2g/t Au) and Peak Hill gold district and
north of the Buryan2
porphyry copper-gold deposit.
• The Phase 2 AC drilling is designed to extend mineralised trends discovered in Phase 1 drilling within
intrusive rocks which lie within the Junee-Narromine Volcanic Belt.
• An initial broad-spaced AC drilling program conducted by Talisman in February 2026 intersected
strongly anomalous pathfinder minerals with a similar geochemical signature to the mineralisation at
the nearby Tomingley Operations.
• Intersections included:
o 9m at 0.22ppm Au, 837ppm As and 50ppm Sb; and
o 9m at 0.67ppm Au, 1,582ppm As and 62ppm Sb, including:
§ 3m at 1.75ppm Au, 3,030ppm As and 107ppm Sb
• Additional holes intersected anomalous near-surface mineralisation prospective for porphyry-style
copper-gold deposits. Significant results included:
o 21m at 460ppm Cu, 507ppm Co and 289ppm Zn; and
o 29m at 400ppm Cu, 360ppm Co and 150ppm Zn, including:
§ 3m at 0.21ppm Au, 0.11ppm Ag, 513ppm As, 400ppm Cu, 679ppm Co and 100ppm Zn.
• Targets include:
o Orogenic-style Au-As-Sb located at the edges of and structurally disrupted internal positions
of the andesitic intrusion and volcaniclastic rock package; and
o Porphyry-style Cu-Au mineralisation within the strongly altered andesitic intrusion corridor.
Talisman Mining (ASX: TLM, ‘Talisman’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to advise that it has commenced a follow -up
4,500m Aircore (AC) drilling program at its East Peak Hill Project, located approximately 70km south-west of

East Peak Hill Project (EL 9395) – Background
The East Peak Hill Project contains an interpreted andesitic intrusion within the Junee-Narromine Volcanic Belt
(Figure1). The Andesitic intrusion is outlined by anomalous magnetic features interpreted from detailed
magnetic imagery, as illustrated in Figure 2.
In February 2026, Talisman commenced its maiden Aircore (AC) drilling program to test for pathfinder elements
to the targeted gold and copper-gold mineralisation. At the nearby Tomingley Project, owned by Alkane
Resources1
, which hosts a resource of 1.36Moz at 2.2g/t gold, pathfinder elements are used extensively in
exploration to highlight prospective locations for gold and copper-gold mineralisation.
Significant intersections from the Phase 1 AC drilling program are listed in Table 1 (refer to the TLM ASX
announcement 28 April for details).
The Phase 1 AC drill holes penetrated to the top of the underlying basement rocks and recorded anomalous
pathfinder minerals – arsenic, antimony, bismuth, copper, zinc and molybdenum on the eastern side of the
interpreted intrusive rocks. Ore grade and anomalous grade gold intersections were recorded on Line 2 (see
Figure 3
In addition, further south on Line 7 (see Figure 3) the drilling intersected a horizontal blanket of elevated copper-
cobalt-zinc mineralisation with sporadic elevated gold-silver-arsenic and antinomy in the weathered rocks
above the andesitic intrusion. This suite of pathfinder minerals and the alteration style encountered across the
drilling program is interpreted to be indicative of porphyry-style copper-gold mineralisation. Large porphyry
copper-gold deposits are encountered at other locations within the Junee-Narromine belt2
.
A number of drill lines completed in the Phase 1 program were unable to test the potentially mineralised target
positions due to temporary access restrictions at the time.
The AC drilling program which has just commenced is designed to
• Extend a number of drill lines to the east across the potentially mineralised target position immediately
north and south of Line 2;
• Extend a number of drill lines to the south from Line 7 to test a large geophysical feature immediately
south of the 350m wide banket of anomalous copper-cobalt-zinc-gold-arsenic-antimony intersected in
EPAC0082 to EPAC0087; and
• Provide an initial test of a distinct geophysical feature within interpreted volcaniclastic rocks east of
Line 3.
AC Program details
The current program consists of up to nine lines of AC drill fences to test the postulated north-south magnetic
features and intersections of the feature with north-northeast trending structures which are seen as key to the
emplacement of gold and copper-gold mineralisation in the district. This work will be completed with Wallis
Drilling’s Mantis100 rig. The program summary specifications are as follows:
- E-W drill grid (orthogonal to stratigraphy & interpreted structure/mineralisation).
- Holes drilled to blade refusal (estimated 60-80m depth).
- Holes inclined at 60 degrees, drilled towards 270o
(grid west).
- Nominal 80m x 400m spaced grid with potential to extend the existing 800m spacing as results and
geology dictate, as shown on Figure 2.
- 3m composite samples with 25g Aqua Regia for gold and a range of pathfinder minerals.

Management Comment
Talisman’s Managing Director, Andrew Munckton, said:
“The new aircore drilling program is designed to follow up the strong results from our Phase 1 AC drilling program
completed in early March. The target is an interpreted andesitic intrusion where drilling intersected gold-arsenic-
antimony mineralisation with anomalous pathfinder minerals at the edges of the interpreted intrusive body,
returning some encouraging ore-grade gold intersections in weathered rocks.
“In addition, a broad zone of anomalous copper-cobalt-zinc plus gold mineralisation was intersected in our most
southerly line of drilling. These intrusions, and their sheared and faulted contacts with the surrounding rocks, host
a number of significant gold deposits at the nearby Tomingley Gold Mine, operated by Alkane Resources1,
and
potential porphyry copper-gold mineralised positions at other locations across the Junee-Narromine Belt2
.
“These broad 400m and 800m spaced lines of AC drilling will provide a regional-scale test of the targets seen to
date. The East Peak Hill Project has not been systematically tested by drilling and success in this AC program,
following on from the promising Phase 1 intersections, would provide a strong indicator of the prospectivity of this
extensive 10km-long target corridor.
“The follow-up drilling program is expected to take 3-5 weeks to complete with assays expected a further 2-4
weeks following the completion of drilling.”

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. 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 also has a significant tenement holding in both the Molong and Junee-Narromine belts within the
Macquarie Arc geological domain. The Macquarie Arc hosts several of Australia’s largest gold and copper-gold
discoveries and operations including, Cadia Valley, North Parkes, Cowal and Tomingley. Talisman believes there
is significant potential for the discovery of substantial copper and gold mineralisation within this land package
and is undertaking active exploration to test a number of these targets.

Appendix 2
JORC Tables Section 1 & 2
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
• 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.
TLM Auger Drilling
• Auger samples are collected as one or two metre interval
from bottom of hole via a drill rig mounted Auger drill to
obtain Top of Basement sample
• The Top of Basement sample is sieved to 2mm to obtain a
nominal 1.0kg sample which was collected in a pre-
numbered sample bag.
• Auger samples undergo routine 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.
• Auger 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 multi-
element 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.
TLM AC Drilling
• AC samples are collected at three 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.
• AC samples undergo routine 3 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.
• AC samples were dried, crushed (where required), split
and pulverised (total prep) to produce a master pulp. From
this master pulp, a 25g sub sample was taken for aqua
regia gold and multi-elements.
TLM MR/DD Drilling
• TLM’s diamond core samples are HQ3 in diameter and are
cut either in half or one-third longitudinally using an
automated Almonte core saw. Core is held securely in
boats during cutting to maintain sample integrity. Sample
intervals ranged from 0.3 to 1.3m in length, with most
samples aligned to 1m intervals or adjusted to honour
geological contacts.
• TLM diamond core sampling is controlled by protocols and
