Core Insights - Talon Metals Corp. has identified the potential for extensive accumulations of massive sulphides extending over 300 meters below the deepest intercept in the Vault Zone at the Tamarack Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project in Minnesota [1][2][11] - The company has successfully transitioned its exploration team from Michigan to Tamarack, enabling a three-rig drilling campaign focused on the Vault Zone [1][5] - Drill hole 25TK0563 has reported the highest nickel-equivalent grade multiplied by length interval in the project's history, with a total of 390.17 meters grading 3.23% NiEq [3][30] Exploration Update - Drilling has revealed a pattern of multiple massive sulphide accumulations within the Vault Zone, with new borehole electromagnetic (BHEM) data suggesting this pattern may repeat for over 300 meters below the deepest intercept [2][11] - The full exploration team has returned to Tamarack, allowing for an expanded drilling program aimed at rapidly delineating resources in the Vault Zone [4][5] - Significant geophysical indicators from BHEM surveys suggest potential lateral continuity of massive sulphides, reinforcing the model of multiple repeating stacks of sulphides along the contact between the intrusion and surrounding sediments [6][10][12] Drill Results - The complete assay results from drill hole 25TK0563 include 89.50 meters grading 1.06% NiEq starting at a depth of 419.5 meters, contributing to a total of 390.17 meters grading 3.23% NiEq [3][30] - The highest occurrences of chalcocite veining and bornite-chalcopyrite assemblages have been identified, indicating significant copper enrichment over approximately 150 meters in the Vault Zone [16][30] Future Plans - The drilling campaign will continue through Fall 2025 and Winter 2026, targeting BHEM plates to refine successive drill targets based on ongoing geological and geophysical insights [19][20] - The exploration team is positioned to follow massive sulphide stacks laterally and test the opposite side of the intrusion for additional high-grade nickel-copper-PGE mineralization [20][19]
