(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, is pleased to announce that its drill teams hit a new area of semi-massive nickel sulphide in a part of the Tamarack Intrusive Complex that has never been explored. The new nickel mineralization was encountered at a shallow depth of approximately 296.3 meters in an area between the Raptor's Head Area and the Raptor's Crest Area within the newly named \"Raptor Zone\" (see Figure 2 below).Figure 1: Nickel mineralization encountered between 296.03 and 298.7 meters depth in new drill hole 23TK0482To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2443/173313_1c47840ef4f76864_001full.jpgBoth the Raptor's Head and the Raptor's Crest Areas contain high-grade massive nickel mineralization with grades up to 9.33% Ni1 and 9.95% Ni2, respectively, however, the 1.5 km distance between these zones has never been drilled.

Coarse grained SMSU has never been identified outside of the Tamarack Resource Area. This drill hole represents a 450-meter step-out from the nearest drill hole and provides ample room for exploration.Brian Goldner, Chief Exploration and Operations Officer of Talon said: \"This intersection reminds me of our first discovery in the Tamarack Resource Area in 2008. At that time, we were drilling coarse grained nickel mineralization of similar ...
