(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, confirms the presence of high-grade nickel in the newly discovered \"Raptor Zone\", with grades up to 6.93% nickel intersected. Over the past several months, Talon has been advancing its dual strategy of (i) new exploration along the Tamarack Intrusive Complex, with the primary goal of discovering additional high-grade nickel-copper resources at the Tamarack Nickel Project; and (ii) progressing the requisite drilling, data collection, modelling, and engineering studies and designs to enable Talon to commence the environmental review process that starts the permitting process in the state of Minnesota and completing a feasibility study for the Tamarack Nickel Project. Talon is also progressing planning, design and permitting of its Battery Minerals Processing Facility in Mercer County, North Dakota, which was selected by the US Department of Energy for $114m in grant funding under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in October of 2022.Talon CEO, Henri van Rooyen, commented: \"Today's assay results further demonstrate that the United States has additional high-grade nickel growth potential in its mineral endowment. In 1997, the Department of the Interior and US Geological Survey predicted that there were high-grade nickel mineralization zones in the US that are similar to zones in Canada and Russia. They focused on the US Mid-Continental Rift (MCR), which extends from Kansas up through Michigan. Talon is singularly focused on exploring for additional high-grade nickel in the United States to help meet the goals set by Congress and President Biden for a domestic supply chain for electric vehicles and batteries from mining through to recycling.\" Exploration Update: Confirmed High-Grade Nickel in the New Raptor Zone Talon has received assay results for the newly drilled Raptor Zone, located nearly 2 mile...
