TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 26, 2020 / Talisker Resources Ltd. ("Talisker" or the "Company") (CSE:TSK)(OTCQB:TSKFF) is pleased to announce that drilling has re-commenced at the Bralorne Gold Project. The Company announced that drilling was suspended April 1st for good practices during the COVID-19 emergency measures. The drill remained on site. With the provincial regulations providing for operations to resume, the Company advises that it has now re-commenced drilling operations with new protocols and practices in place to abide by the regulations and guidelines in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Talisker is undertaking an 11,200m drill program targeting high-grades veins at the project. The Company has re-entered drill hole SB-2020-005A which was suspended at a depth of 737.40m near the Bralorne Mine. Drill hole results disclosed in press releases of April 1st and May 5th from the first two drill holes from the Pioneer Mine area yielded encouraging results with highlights of 27.3 g/t gold over 0.6m, and 32.2 g/t gold over 0.97m. Encouraging gold mineralization was also encountered in the vein halos including 2.19 g/t gold over 1.4m and 2.13 g/t gold over 1.5m shoulder to high-grade vein structures. Additional results are pending and will be announced when available.
"The decision to re-commence drilling was undertaken with consultation with local community representatives. During the drill operations shut down, minimal staff remained at site with strict social distancing rules in effect to maintain operation of the water treatment plant to meet environmental requirements. The 11,200m drill program will continue to target high grade veins at the Bralorne Gold Project," stated Terry Harbort, President & CEO of Talisker who added, "The Company's geological reconnaissance team of 22 geologists is ready to kick off the 2020 field season at the Company's Spences Bridge Gold Project mid-June providing some additional time for local services to be ready. The team is looking forward to getting back to the field and delivering results on our aggressive greenfields exploration plan."

Qualified Person
The technical information contained in this news release has been approved by Leonardo de Souza (BSc, AusIMM (CP) Membership 224827), Talisker's Vice President, Exploration and Resource Development, who is a "qualified person" within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
Sample Preparation and QAQC
Drill core at the Bralorne project is drilled in HQ to NQ size ranges (63.5mm and 47.6mm respectively). Drill core samples are minimum 50 cm and maximum 160 cm long along the core axis. Samples are focused on an interval of interest such as a vein or zone of mineralization. Shoulder samples bracket the interval of interest such that a total sampled core length of 3 m both above and below the interval of interest must be assigned. Sample QAQC measures of unmarked certified reference materials (CRMs), blanks, and duplicates are inserted into the sample sequence.
Sample preparation and analyses is carried out by ALS Global, at their laboratory in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Drill core sample preparation includes drying in an oven at a maximum temperature of 60°C, fine crushing of the sample to at least 70% passing less than 2 mm, sample splitting using a riffle splitter, and pulverizing a 250 g split to at least 85% passing 75 microns (code PREP-31).
Gold and in diamond drill core is analysed by fire assay and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) of a 50g sample (code Au-AA24), while multi-element chemistry is analysed by 4-Acid digestion of a 0.25 g sample split with detection by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) for 48 elements (Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, Ga, Ge, Hf, In, K, La, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Nb, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, Re, S, Sb, Sc, Se, Sn, Sr, Ta, Te, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W, Y, Zn, Zr).
Gold assay technique Au-AA24 has an upper detection limit of 10ppm. Any sample that produces an over-limit gold value via the Au-AA24 technique is sent for gravimetric finish via method Au-GRA22 which has an upper detection limit of 1,000 ppm Au. Samples where visible gold was observed are sent directly to screen metallics analysis and all samples that fire assay above 3 ppm Au are re-analysed with method Au-SCR24 which employs a 1kg pulp screened to 100 microns with assay of the entire oversize fraction and duplicate 50g assays on the undersize fraction. Where possible all samples initially sent to screen metallics processing will also be re-run through the fire assay with gravimetric finish provided there is enough material left for further processing.
