[{"type":"text","content":"Talon Metals Identifies a Highly Conductive Anomaly Extending East of the Current Massive Sulphide Unit with New Downhole Magneto-Metric Resistivity (MMR) SurveyRoad Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands--(Newsfile Corp. - June 3, 2019) - 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.In the ongoing process of prioritizing multiple exploration targets, the Company identified a new conductor using Magneto-Metric Resistivity (\"MMR\"). This conductor could represent an extension of the Massive Sulphide Unit (\"MSU\"). In the 2017-2018 winter drill season, an MMR survey was completed with transmitting electrodes placed in drill holes 08TK0074 to the north and 16TK0233A to the south as shown in Figure 1. These electrodes energized the SMSU and MSU units and the resulting EM field was logged by receivers in drill holes 12TK0163 to the west and 14TK0210 to the east. The recorded vectors in drill hole 12TK0163 point towards the known mineralization as the source of the field while the recorded vectors in hole 14TK0210 point towards an area beyond the extent of the known MSU mineralization in the 138 zone. The newly modeled conductor is at the same elevation as the MSU (below the 138 Zone) indicating a potential extension to the east. \"MMR should increase the effectiveness of our exploration by allowing us to detect this style of massive sulphide mineralization from much greater distances than what is currently possible using conventional Downhole Electromagnetic (DHEM) methods. We will, however, continue to use conventional DHEM methods as they compliment the MMR. In our ongoing exploration, MMR will be used to detect the sulphides, while DHEM will be used to help refine and delineate the geometry of the mineralization,\" said Talon Geophysicist and Consultant, Brian Bengert.\"Extending the Massive Sulphide Unit at the Tamarack Zone, below the 138 Zone and beyond the 138 Zone is one of our key objectives. A combination of MMR and DHEM techniques could increase the likelihood of detection while at the same time reducing the cost of discovery and delineation,\" said Henri van Rooyen, CEO of Talon.Figure 1: Obli...
