[{"type":"text","content":"More High-Grade Nickel in the USA: Talon Metals Reports 139% Increase in Thickness of Nickel-Copper Mineralization in the Raptor ZoneTamarack, Minnesota--(Newsfile Corp. - September 29, 2023) - Talon Metals Corp. (TSX: TLO) (OTC Pink: TLOFF) (\"Talon\" or the \"Company\"), the majority owner and operator of the Tamarack Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project (\"Tamarack Nickel Project\") in central Minnesota, continues to progress its discovery and delineation of high-grade nickel mineralization in the United States with new drill results from the \"Raptor Zone\". These results include a 2.2 meter (7.2 feet) intercept of high-grade massive nickel and copper mineralization, which represents a 139% increase in the thickness of mineralization compared to the previous drill hole in the area. Talon's in-house drilling and geophysics teams continue to grow their understanding of the high-grade mineralization potential in the Raptor Zone as the exploration and drilling program progresses.Figure 1: High-grade nickel and copper mineralization intersected in drill hole 23TK0483 at a depth of 653 metersTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2443/182289_talonimage1.jpgTalon has continued with its drilling program in the Raptor Zone, with a new drill hole that targeted an off-hole borehole electromagnetic anomaly (geophysics) from previous drill hole 22TK0430. This previous drill hole had resulted in 0.92 meters (3.0 feet) grading 6.93% Ni and 2.73% Cu starting at 672.23 meters (see Figure 2 below).Talon's new drill hole (23TK0483) has successfully resulted in 2.2 meters (7.2 feet) of high-grade massive nickel and copper mineralization (assays pending, see Figure 1), representing a 139% increase in thickness compared to previous drill hole 22TK0430. \"Thickness\" refers to the contiguous length of high-grade material in a core sample from drilling that shows that in comparison to previous core samples, the zone of high-grade mineralization has \"grown\" between the two drill results. These results help to show that with more positive drilling results the potential for a new mineable resource has increased.The fact that the mineralization appears to be getting thicker is consistent with how the Company made its last new high-grade nickel-copper discoveries at the Tamarack Nickel Project (CGO East...
