Announcement PDF 14 March 2024 Latest results extend Rip n Tear discovery to over 1.8km strike and 200m depth Phase 1 diamond drilling complete; RC and diamond drilling now underway at Durnings Highlights: • Assay results received from additional extensional diamond (DD) drill-holes completed at the Rip n Tear Prospect, part of the 100%-owned Lachlan Project in NSW. • The diamond extension to MYRCD0009 was designed to test for depth extensions and continuity of mineralisation from previous broad RC drill intercepts that terminated in mineralisation at the northern MLEM anomaly, providing a diamond drilling tail from the end of the RC hole at 166m down to 272.9m. Results include: MYRCD0009 o DD Tail § o Combined RC + DD tail § • 19m at 1.4% Pb, 12.2g/t Ag, 0.05% Zn from 167m to 186.0m 86m at 0.8% Pb, 6.6g/t Ag, 0.04% Zn from 100m to 186m Diamond hole MYDD0012 was drilled to a depth of 447m to test mineralisation down dip/plunge of discovery hole MYRCDD0002. Results include: MYDD0012 § 87m at 0.5% Pb, 5.3g/t Ag, 0.05% Zn from 261m to 348m • Extensional diamond drilling has also been completed at MYDD0013, located at the eastern extension of the MLEM survey anomaly, approximately 800m east of MYRCD0003. This hole was designed to target further extensions of the prospective mineralised horizon, with assays awaited. • The latest results have confirmed the depth extension and continuity of lead-silver-zinc mineralisation at Rip n Tear over a strike length of more than 1.8km and down-hole widths of up to 200m, highlighting the substantial scale of the mineralised system. • The diamond rig has now commenced extensional drilling on RC holes at the Durning’s discovery. 1 Talisman Mining Limited (ASX: TLM, Talisman) is pleased to advise that it has received further significant assay results from diamond drilling completed in early 2024 at the Rip n Tear Prospect, part of its 100%-owned Lachlan Project in central NSW, targeting depth extensions to the broad zones of lead-silver mineralisation intersected in initial Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling. Rip n Tear is located approximately 35km north of Condobolin on EL8615 and approximately 20km north-west of the Company’s Durnings discovery. Both Rip n Tear and Durnings were discovered as part of a 7,200m RC drilling campaign completed in late 2023 across four priority prospects within the Lachlan Project area (see Figure 1). Assays have now been received for holes MYRCD0009 (a diamond drill-hole extension of a previous RC drill hole) and MYDD0012 (a diamond drill-hole from surface located down dip of discovery hole MYRCD0002), both completed in January 2024. Figure 1 – Lachlan Project location plan highlighting prospect locations along the Canbelego-Mineral Hill Volcanic Belt. 2 Background The Rip N Tear prospect is a large lead-silver-zinc target on EL8615 defined by strongly anomalous base metal soil geochemistry containing two large, coherent conductive MLEM anomalies (ASX: TLM, 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. Historical drilling was limited to three percussion holes (~61m deep, drilled in 1970’s). The initial Talisman program consisted of seven RC holes designed to test two conductive anomalies at depth at approximately 800m to 1,000m drill-hole spacing. Results from the initial RC drilling (Table 2) (ASX: TLM, 20 October and 6 December 2023). included: • MYRC0002 – 192m at 1.32% Pb, 10.1g/t Ag, 0.06% Zn from 40m to 232m end-of-hole; • MYRC0003 – 80m at 1.56% Pb, 14.7g/t Ag, 0.11% Zn from 188m to 268m end-of-hole; • MYRC0004 – 18m at 0.28% Pb, 5.2g/t Ag and 0.01% Zn from 142m to 160m; • MYRC0005 – 6m at 0.81% Pb and 5.6g/t Ag from 44m to 50m; • MYRC0006 – 10m at 0.85% Pb, 3.3g/t Ag and 0.02% Zn from 246m to 256m; and • MYRC0007 – 10m at 0.81% Pb, 12.4g/t Ag and 0.04% Zn from 222m to 232m. RC drilling of a further four holes (MYRC008-MYRC0011) for 688m was completed in early December targeting strike extensions of MYRC0002 and MYRC0003, guided by the extensive MLEM anomaly (see Figure 2). Drilled at approximately 500m spacing, these RC holes were designed to target a buried lead-silver and sulphide-rich sedimentary unit which appears to host the mineralisation. This RC drilling has intersected broad zones of disseminated galena and silver with accessory sphalerite with strong sulphide mineralisation in sericite and ankerite/siderite altered sedimentary rocks in the target position. Diamond drill tails were completed in December 2023 on RC holes MYRC0002 and MYRC0003 in the north and MYRC0004 in the south of the Rip n Tear Prospect area. All holes intersected further significant zones of sulphide mineralisation. Assay results for the recent extensional diamond drilling are summarised in Table 2., Significant results are illustrated in Figure 2: The summary of results received to date is listed and includes: Northern Anomaly MYRCD0009 o Diamond Tail § o 19m at 1.4% Pb, 12.2g/t Ag, from 167m to 186.0m Combining the parent RC hole with the diamond tail results in: 3 § 86m at 0.8% Pb, 6.6/t Ag, 0.04% Zn from 100m to 186m MYDD0012 o Diamond § 87m at 0.5% Pb, 5.3g/t Ag, 0.05% Zn from 261m to 348m, including § 38.4m at 0.6% Pb, 5.8g/t Ag, 0.04% Zn from 309.6m to 348m Figure 2 – Rip n Tear RC and diamond drilling results over MLEM Geophysical survey image. True width in MYRCDD002 and MYCRDD003 is approximately 40% to 50% of downhole intersection. 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. 4 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. The target horizon consists of broad zones of disseminated and blebby sulphides (galena, pyrite and rare sphalerite) associated with sericite and ankerite/siderite alteration hosted in sandstone, siltstone and coarse angular quartz breccia/conglomerate. The mineralised horizon appears extensive and consistent over significant strike length and depth as illustrated in Figure 2 and Figure 3. MYRCDD002 and MYRCDD003 are interpreted as being drilled oblique to the dip of the mineralised zones and therefore true width of these zones are approximately 40% to 50% of downhole widths. MYRCD0009 and MYDD0012 are interpreted as being drilled at a high angle to the mineralised zones. True widths of mineralised zones in these holes are estimated at approximately 80% of downhole widths (Figure 3). MYDD0012 intersected Girilambone sediments close to surface, faulted against mineralised Devonian sediments at depth. See Figure 3. The lead-silver mineralisation is confirmed at surface on this section by the Rip n Tear Workings approximately 250m north of MYRCD0002 (Figure 2 and Figure 3) illustrating the extensive nature of the mineralisation. Rip n Tear – Next Steps The drilling rig has completed a diamond tail on MYRCD0008 (assays pending) and a diamond hole from surface, MYDD0013 (assays pending), to test the mineralised horizon 500m west and 800m east of MYRCDD0003 (Talisman’s easternmost hole to date) to establish if the mineralisation defined to date continues to the east (see Figure 2). The diamond drill rig has now relocated to Durnings to undertake extension drilling of previously drilled RC holes at that location. Following the current Durnings RC program, a further RC drilling program at Rip n Tear is planned to test near-surface mineralisation defined by strongly anomalous surface soil geochemistry, ore grade rock chips and gossanous outcrop located adjacent to the southern MLEM anomaly. 5 Figure 3 – Rip n Tear – Interpreted section of the Rip n Tear northern MLEM anomaly deposit. True width of mineralisation in MYRCDD0002 is approximately 40% to 50% of downhole intersection. True width of mineralisation in MYDD0012 is approximately 80% of downhole intersection. Management Comment Talisman’s Managing Director, Andrew Munckton, said: “These latest results from extensional diamond drilling at Rip n Tear provide further encouragement for the potential of a major new base metals discovery. “These new results demonstrate the continuity of the lead-silver mineralised horizon, hosted in a folded and faulted sequence of sediments, over a strike extent of more than 1.8km and downhole widths up to 200m. This clearly demonstrates the significant scale of the mineralised system. “The initial diamond drilling program has been completed, with results currently awaited for a number of holes aimed at assessing the extent of the mineralisation with diamond tails from RC hole MYRC0008 and surface diamond hole MYDD0013. Confirmation of mineralisation in these holes would further extend the mineralisation at Rip n Tear to a strike length of 2.6km and further enhance the scale of the opportunity. “Importantly, the diamond drilling and multi-element assaying at Rip n Tear provides detailed geological context to the mineralization, which appears to be extensive, consistent and detectable with geophysics. “While it is still very early in the exploration phase, the Rip n Tear Prospect appears to have all the indicators of an extensive mineralised system in a sedimentary basin setting. “The next phase of work at Rip n Tear, commences soon with additional RC drilling program to assess the as-yet-untested near surface mineralisation adjacent to the Southern MLEM anomaly. 6 The near surface area above the large anomaly is clearly prospective indicated by ore-grade rock chips and gossanous outcrop. This next stage of work will be undertaken following the completion of the current RC program at Durnings and will conclude our initial assessment of the exciting Rip n Tear base metals project.” 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 - Rip N Tear Details and coordinates of the RC and Diamond Holes relevant to this release.

About Talisman Mining 9 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.

RC Drilling samples are collected at 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 a Olympus Vanta M-series to aid in logging and identifying zones of interest. Diamond core samples, either PQ, HQ3 or NQ2 in size diameter, were either cut in half longitudinally or a third longitudinally, using an automated Almnonte core saw Core was placed in boats, holding core in place. Core sample intervals varied from 0.3 to 1.3m in length but were predominantly aligned to 1m intervals or with sample boundaries which respected geological contacts. 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 /DD 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 30g sub sample was also taken for fire assay for gold with ICP-AES finish 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. Diamond Drilling cited in this report was undertaken by DDH1 Drilling Pty LTD ùsing an Evolution FH3000 or UDR1200 truck mounted rig. The core was orientated using a Reflex Ez-Ori Tool.
