[{"type":"text","content":"Talon Drilling Update: Talon Intercepts Massive and Disseminated Sulphides at Shallow Depths More than 300 Meters (985 Feet) Away from Its Current Resource AreaRoad Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands--(Newsfile Corp. - September 16, 2020) - Talon Metals Corp. (TSX: TLO) (\"Talon\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide an update on the Tamarack Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project (\"Tamarack Project\"), located in Minnesota, USA. The Tamarack Project comprises the Tamarack North Project and the Tamarack South Project.Talon is presently drilling the first of 6 high priority exploration targets with the objective of significantly expanding the Company's present resource (for further detail regarding the targets, please see https://talonmetals.com/near-resource-upside/). The first area being drilled is referred to as the \"CGO East\" area (see Figure 1 below).Rationale for drilling the CGO East area: Geophysics, including borehole electromagnetic (\"BHEM\") and surface electromagnetic (\"EM\"), and historical drilling suggest that shallow, wide sheets of massive, high-grade mineralization may stretch over an area of 500 meters (east-west) by 900 meters (north-south). This massive sheet-like sulphide mineralization, which is overlain by a thick sequence of disseminated sulphide mineralization, is expected to be much wider than the long, tube-like Massive Sulphide Unit (\"MSU\") found within the Company's current resource area. Drilling is presently focussed on a trend of approximately 675 meters that parallels the Coarse-Grained Orthocumulate (\"CGO\") mineralization, which extends to the north-east beyond the Company's current resource area. This trend has been defined by new BHEM, surface EM and the following historical drill holes (please refer to Figure 1 below for an approximate location of these historical drill holes): In the North of the CGO East Area:Drill hole 16TK238: Intersected massive and mixed massive sulphides of 2.2 meters at 1.75% Ni, 0.89% Cu, 0.06% Co, 0.31 g/t PGE's + 0.12g/t Au, starting at 117.72 meters (2.26% NiEq[1] or 6.02% CuEq[2]). These massive and mixed massive sulphides are below a sequence of disseminated sulphides.Drill hole 13TK187: Intersected massive and mixed massive sulphides of 2.83 meters at 3.82% Ni, 1.62% Cu, 0.12% Co, 0.63g/t PGE's + 0.36 g/t Au, starting at 138.94 meters (4.80% NiEq or 12.8...
