Talisman concludes sampling work at Fougnar Copper-Silver Project

Talisman Metals has completed a watercourse sediment sampling run astatine its Fougnar Copper-Silver Project successful Morocco.

The institution is besides nearing the extremity of its crushed transient electromagnetics (TEM) survey grid, with 76% already completed.

Two trenches person been dug, revealing disposable copper mineralisation, specifically malachite, wrong the transmission samples.

Talisman is besides undertaking a constricted reverse circulation (RC) scout drilling programme, which involves 2 drill-holes connected each of the project's 2 licences.

A high-resolution TEM survey, conducted implicit a 250m × 100m grid connected the project’s bluish licence and featuring 416 electromagnetic (EM) stations, is present complete.

Preliminary information indicates a portion of beardown conductivity, suggesting partially continuous structures perchance controlling a horst and graben system.

Inversion utilizing industry-standard 1D Cole-Cole and 2D interpolation volition further specify these structures to representation imaginable mineralisation up to depths of 500m.

On the confederate permit, a little solution survey connected a 250m × 250m grid has begun, completing 18 retired of the planned 153 EM stations.

Based connected caller TEM findings, four-pole dipole-dipole induced polarisation surveys volition beryllium conducted crossed precedence targets successful the bluish licence country to analyse mineralised horizons and chargeable sulphide-rich layers up to 300m deep.

The determination aboveground geochemistry programme concluded watercourse sediment sampling to grow geochemical sum and place anomalies crossed occidental catchments of the task area.

A full of 154 samples were collected, including prime power measures specified arsenic certified notation materials and blanks.

To analyse known aboveground mineralisation astatine extent and on strike, 2 trenches person been completed connected the bluish permit.

Systematic transmission sampling is nether mode to measure the continuity of mineralisation and amended knowing earlier conducting much elaborate drilling.

The ongoing programme aims to analyse some onslaught and extent continuity of copper-silver zones and measure broader imaginable crossed the task site.

Future updates volition beryllium provided arsenic much information from trenching, geophysics and geochemical sampling are analysed to refine drill targets.

Talisman CEO Tim McCutcheon said: “We are adjacent to the completion of archetypal tract enactment astatine Fougnar. We present determination to having samples analysed and geophysical information processed successful bid to find precedence targets for further survey and wide task evaluation.

“Each measurement of the exploration programme dramatically increases our knowing of Fougnar, and we look guardant to reporting further advancement successful the coming weeks and months.”
