TORONTO, June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Talisker Resources Ltd. ("Talisker" or the "Company") (TSX:TSK | OTCQB:TSKFF) is pleased to announce results from an additional 20 drill holes from the 2026 Bralorne Gold Project resource conversion program, following the previously reported first 25 drill holes, predominantly targeting dip and strike extensions in the major ore veins at its currently producing Mustang Mine.
Highlights from the additional 20 drill holes include:

- SB-2026-013 - 18.40 g/t Au over 0.60 m within 5.18 g/t Au over 2.15 m on the 55HW Vein
- SB-2026-016 - 72.60 g/t Au over 0.50 m within 19.68 g/t Au over 2.05 m on the 55 Vein
- UB-2026-020 - 18.00 g/t Au over 0.65 m within 5.87 g/t Au over 2.00 m on the BK-9870 Vein
- UB-2026-021A - 8.60 g/t Au over 0.70 m within 5.75 g/t Au over 2.35 m on the Untargeted Vein
- UB-2026-021A - 44.80 g/t Au over 0.70 m within 15.46 g/t Au over 2.05 m on the Alhambra Vein
- UB-2026-021A - 25.20 g/t Au over 0.60 m within 7.72 g/t Au over 2.40 m on the BK Vein
- UB-2026-022 - 7.68 g/t Au over 0.60 m within 5.38 g/t Au over 2.60 m on the BK Vein
- UB-2026-024 - 85.00 g/t Au over 0.50 m within 18.76 g/t Au over 2.30 m on the Alhambra Vein
In 2026, a total of 25 underground diamond drill holes for 4,461 metres were completed from two drill bays in the Mustang underground, and a total of 20 surface diamond drill holes for 7,802 metres were completed from three drill pads at the Bralorne West zone. The underground resource conversion drill program is focused on infill drilling of the Alhambra, BK and BK-9870 veins while the surface drilling is focused on infill drilling Bralorne West's 101, 55 HW, 276, and 55 veins, all within the Mustang Mine. A video of the Mustang and Bralorne West development is available at this link.
Underground mine development is underway in the Bralorne West zone, where the first underground diamond drill bay is now complete. This new access will enable more efficient and precise subsurface drilling from the underground. An additional underground drill is now active and the fleet is now composed of two underground and one surface diamond drills.
Kyle Orr, Talisker's Vice President Exploration commented, "Infill drilling of the Bralorne West Zone veins from underground gives us better access and will save substantial drill metres. We now have three drills on the project and are excited with the progress so far."
All drill holes in this release are located in the Mustang Mine and hosted in diorite and/or intermediate to felsic dyke. Major vein structures intersected are orogenic quartz-carbonate veins with banded sulfide septae. Crack-seal septae host fine-grained arsenopyrite and pyrite mineralization. Alteration halos consist of strong silica - sericite ± mariposite alteration with disseminated sulfides.

About Talisker Resources Ltd.
Talisker (taliskerresources.com) is a junior resource company involved in the exploration and development of gold projects in British Columbia, Canada. Talisker's flagship asset is the high-grade, fully permitted Bralorne Gold Project where the Company is producing at the Mustang Mine. Talisker projects also include the Ladner Gold Project, an advanced stage project with significant exploration potential from an historical high-grade producing gold mine and the Spences Bridge Project where the Company has a significant landholding in the emerging Spences Bridge Gold Belt, and several other early-stage Greenfields projects.
Sample Preparation and QAQC
Drill core in this new release from the Bralorne Gold Project was drilled in NQ size (47.6mm) or HQ size (63.5mm). Drill core samples are a minimum of 50 cm and a maximum of 150 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 not less than 3m 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 and makeup 10% of the samples submitted to the lab for holes reported in this release. Actlabs performs sample preparation and analyses in Kamloops, British Columbia. Drill core sample preparation includes drying in an oven, crushing of the sample up to 80% passing 2 mm, sample splitting using a riffle splitter, and pulverizing a 1,000 g split to 95% passing 105 microns (ACT code RX1+1000). Gold in diamond drill core is analyzed by fire assay and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) of a 50g sample (ACT code 1A2-50-ORE). Gold assay technique 1A2-50-ORE has an upper detection limit of 100 ppm. Any sample that produces an over-limit gold value via the gold assay technique is sent for gravimetric finish (ACT method 1A3-50) which has an upper detection limit of 10,000 ppm Au. Where asymmetrically distributed native gold mineralization is observed by the core logging geologist, a "cut-line" may be drawn along the length of the core to guide the core cutter to evenly bisect that mineralization thereby helping to ensure a representative sample. Where no sample cut line is drawn by the geologist the standard procedure is to preserve the oriented core "backside line" or "bottom of hole" mark in the core box. Duplicates were sampled by taking a ¼ core primary sample and a ¼ core as the duplicate sample, thereby leaving a ½ core representative sample in the box. A photo archive exists for all core from before sampling.
