The early-stage AC drilling at Sheepyard intersected a broad zone of shallow gold mineralisation containing several intersections of higher-grade gold.

Highlights included 15m at 1.10 grams per tonne gold from surface including 6.0m at 1.95 g/t and 9.0 at1.05 g/t from 30m.

The Walkers Hill Project contains the extensive Walkers Hill gold-in-soil trend, extending over an area of approximately 4.5km by 2.0km.

Historical and earlier Talisman exploration results from shallow depths indicate the presence of broad zones of gold mineralisation with narrower zones of higher-grade gold at Sheepyard

Sheepyard lies at the south-eastern end of the Walkers Hill trend and displays gold-in-soil anomalism over an area of 1.5km by 1.0km.

Additional mapping and soil geochemical sampling programs are planned at Maroonbah three km north-west of Sheepyard.

A follow-up program of two additional lines of AC drilling further west of the western line will also be undertaken once access to Maroombah and additional soil geochemical programs will be completed later in 2026 to test the extent of the higher-grade mineralisation intersected to date.

TLM is down 1.05% to 9.4¢. Mkt cap $16.94M.
