Talon Metals Extends High-Grade Vault Zone with Step-Out Drilling in Multiple Sulphide Stacks
Newsfile· 2025-12-11 12:30
Core Viewpoint - Talon Metals Corp. has successfully extended the high-grade Vault Zone at the Tamarack Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project through multiple step-out drill holes, confirming significant copper enrichment and lateral extension of massive sulphide mineralization predicted by borehole electromagnetic surveys [2][10][11]. Group 1: Drill Results - Drill hole 25TK0563B intercepted 7.56 meters of Mixed Massive Sulphide (MMS) and Massive Sulphide Unit (MSU) within the same stratigraphic horizon as previous discoveries, indicating a lateral extension of 16 meters from drill hole 25TK0563 [4][12]. - Drill hole 25TK0566 intercepted 5.16 meters of MSU/MMS approximately 16 meters south of drill hole 16TK0250, confirming the lateral continuity of massive sulphides in that direction [16][27]. - Assays from drill hole 25TK0565 showed significant grades, including 19.11 meters grading 2.38% Ni and 4.72% Cu, indicating strong copper enrichment across the Vault Zone [19][24]. Group 2: Geological Insights - Borehole electromagnetic (BHEM) surveys indicated potential lateral continuity of massive sulphides, which has now been confirmed by new drill results [10][11]. - Chalcopyrite veinlets intercepted at approximately 880 meters in drill hole 25TK0566 provide evidence supporting the potential for more stacked zones below the discovery [9][17]. - The Cu:Ni ratio in drill hole 25TK0565 is 1.98, significantly higher than the typical range of 0.41-0.77 in the Tamarack Resource Area, further supporting the indication of strong copper enrichment [23]. Group 3: Future Plans - The company plans to continue its exploration program during Winter 2026, utilizing three drill rigs to target BHEM plates and refine successive drill targets based on ongoing geological and geophysical insights [25][28]. - Talon aims to expand its exploration efforts in Michigan alongside the ongoing work at the Tamarack Nickel-Copper Project, positioning itself for a highly active exploration year [28].
