Terry Harbort, President and CEO of Talisker Resources (TSX: TSK) (OTCQX:TSKFF), joins me to review the key metrics and takeaways from the 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate, along with a production and exploration update at the Mustang Mine at their 100% owned Bralorne Gold Project in British Columbia. We also discuss the ongoing upsized 105,000 meter drill program, focused on the development towards Bralorne West and over into the Olympus Mine.
Highlights of the Bralorne Gold Project MRE:
Combined Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources are estimated at 0.72 Mt at an average grade of 8.91 g/t gold. The MRE includes Measured Mineral Resources of 21,900 oz of gold at an average grade of 10.04 g/t gold and Indicated Mineral Resources of 184,400 oz of gold at an average grade of 8.80 g/t gold.
Inferred Mineral Resources are estimated at 11.23 Mt for 3,151,000 oz at an average grade of 8.73 g/t gold.
A total of 141 orogenic veins that comprise the Project’s vein systems were included in the MRE. The MRE is exclusive of mined out material.
The Company successfully transitioned over to shipping ore to Ocean Partners in Q1, with over 5,000 tonnes currently being crushed for shipping. To date in 2026 (through May 12, 2026), the Company has sold 2,675 ounces of gold, consisting of 770 ounces of concentrate and 1,905 ounces of Direct Shipping Ore (DSO), derived from 6,990 tonnes of mined material with an average grade of 8.48 g/t. Based on current estimates under the Ore Purchase Agreement, the Company expects estimated net proceeds of approximately $12.7 million, net of applicable deductions and adjustments, including transportation, treatment/refining under the Ore Purchase Agreement, and subject to final settlement.
Terry outlined the areas of ramp-up in production at the Mustang Mine, currently accessing about 6 ore faces at the 1040 and 1030 levels, with the plan to eventually get down to the 1015 and 980 levels later this year. The mining has been coming from the Alhambra Vein, BK Vein, and BK-9870 Vein, with plans to also begin accessing the Brumby Vein in the next couple of months.
Development work is continuing from the main area of the Mustang Mine over towards Bralorne West, with about 150 meters to go to be able to start accessing ore faces over in that part of the deposit.
As operations 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 mining process will be further upgraded 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.
On April 21, 2026, Talisker Resources announced that the Company has increased its diamond drill program from 30,000 metres to 105,000 metres. The program will consist of 83,000 metres of resource conversion drilling at the Mustang, Bralorne West and Olympus areas and 22,000 metres of exploration drilling targeting veins at Congress and Pioneer Deeps. Terry further unpacks the goals of this largest drill program to date at each of these areas and how this will set the company up for its growth initiatives for years to come.
