(TSX: TLO) (\"Talon\" or the \"Company\") has successfully drilled 101.71 meters (333 feet) of high-grade nickel-copper mineralization at the Tamarack Nickel Project, grading 1.94% Ni,1.84% Cu, 0.35 g/t Pd, 0.64 g/t Pt and 0.62 g/t Au (1.61 g/t PGEt + Au) (3.04% NiEq) (see Table 1).HighlightsDrill intercept of 101.71 meters grading 1.94% Ni, 1.84% Cu and 0.35 g/t Pd, 0.64 g/t Pt and 0.62 g/t Au (1.61 g/t PGEt + Au) (3.04% NiEq);Drill hole was completed in partnership with a research team from Columbia University that is funded by the Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) Mining Innovations for Negative Emissions Resource Recovery (MINER) program that funds novel approaches to enhanced metal recoveries within the mining industry (see Columbia University | arpa-e.energy.gov).Figure 1: Portion of Drill Hole 23TK0473 that forms part of 101.71 meters (333 feet) of high-grade nickel-copper mineralization, grading 1.94% Ni, 1.84% Cu and 0.35 g/t Pd, 0.64 g/t Pt and 0.62 g/t Au (1.61 g/t PGEt + Au) (3.04% NiEq)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2443/177814_d0bb86e00415aa65_001full.jpgTable 1: Assay Results from Drill Hole 23TK0473 (see Table 3 for further technical details).Drill HoleFromToLengthAssayNiEq (%)(#)(m)(m)(m)Ni (%)Cu (%)Co (%)Pd (g/t)Pt (g/t)Au (g/t)23TK0473332.79434.5101.711.941.840.040.350.640.623.04Including381.02392.8911.872.361.260.060.210.300.153.09Including409.38421.7812.42.983.840.061.382.792.685.76 A team from Columbia University has partnered with Talon to use critical mineral concentrates from the Tamarack Nickel Project to conduct lab studies that will explore potential novel processing technologies that lower the CO2 footprint of mining operations, while increasing the amount of nickel and copper extracted from ore (beyond the high metallurgical recoveries already achievable at the Tamarack Nickel Project). These R&D programs aim to increase US nickel production and lower the overall cost of nickel extraction compared to standard i...
