Episode Details

Terry Harbort, President and CEO of Talisker Resources (TSX: TSK) (OTCQX:TSKFF), joins us for an production and exploration update at the Mustang Mine, to outline the development towards Bralorne West, and to review the work going into the upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) at their 100% owned Bralorne Gold Project in British Columbia.

Terry outlined what the ramp-up in production at the Mustang Mine would look like over the next few years; with a goal to get up to 500 tonnes per day (tpd) this year, and clarified the November 10th news announcing the signing of binding terms for an Ore Purchase Agreement with Ocean Partners UK Ltd for up to 1,500 tpd including a US$25 million revolving credit facility for use developing the Project and secure the pathway to ramp up production.  The Company has confirmed with Ocean Partners that it will begin shipping gold bearing material here in January 2026, and there are already stockpiles building at the port facility.

Initial production at the Mustang mine was sourced mostly from in-vein development from the 1090, 1105 and 1120 levels and but now development and production is progressing into the stopes at the 1060, 1045, and 1035 levels. The mining has been coming from the Alhambra Vein, BK Vein, and BK-9870 Vein, with plans to also begin accessing the Brumbie Vein in the next couple of months.

In 2025, a total of 35 underground diamond drill holes for 7,515 metres were completed from three drill bays in the Mustang Mine, and a total of 15 surface diamond drill holes for 5,367 metres were completed from one drill pad at Bralorne West. This work included drill hole UB-2025-016 which intercepted 99.60 g/t Au over 0.50 m within 26.48 g/t Au over 2.00 m on the BK9870 Vein. The underground resource conversion drill program was focused on infill drilling at the Alhambra, BK, and BK-9870 Veins within the Mustang Mine. All 2025 diamond drilling assays have now been received and are being incorporated into the vein model wireframes, which will feed into the upcoming resource estimate and PEA.

Talisker has engaged SGS Canada Inc. to complete a National Instrument 43-101 compliant Technical Report incorporating a Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Bralorne Gold Project. The MRE will update the estimate in the Company’s current Technical Report (completed in 2023) and incorporate an additional 138 drill holes (representing 31,093m of drill core), as well as the depletion of areas already mined by Talisker at the Mustang Mine in 2025. In addition, Talisker has engaged third-party consultants to complete studies regarding mining, infrastructure, process, capital and operation costs, as well as economic studies. The information from these studies will be provided to SGS for review and incorporation in the PEA. The Technical Report with both the MRE and PEA is expected to be completed during Q2 2026.

We review as things continue ramping up, expanding up to 500 tpd later this year, that the plan is then to keep developing over to increase mining from more areas including from Bralorne West to increase operations to 750-1,000 tpd about 2 years out. Then further out the initiative is to put in a second portal into the historic Pioneer mining area to access the Olympus Mine to the southeast of the Mustang Mine, moving throughput up to the eventual target of 1,500 tpd.

Additionally, we explore how the process will being upgrading the ore on site utilizing ore-sorting technology by Q3 of this year. This ore-sorting will allow for shipping higher-grade material, with less associated waste, making it even more economical to be shipped to Ocean Partners.
