[{"type":"text","content":"Talon Metals Intersects 2.71 Meters (8.9 Feet) of Shallow Mineralization Grading 5.13% Nickel Outside of the Company's Current Resource AreaRoad Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands--(Newsfile Corp. - December 15, 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. HIGHLIGHTSDrill hole 20TK0271 intersected 2.71 meters (8.9 feet) of massive sulphide mineralization grading 5.13% Ni, included in a wider zone of mineralization of 9.55 meters (31.3 feet) grading 2.12% Ni. The mineralization is shallow, starting at only 242.84 meters, and is located outside of the Company's current resource area.This massive sulphide was successfully identified by running a Borehole Electromagnetic (\"BHEM\") survey down a previous nearby drill hole (drill hole 20TK0266). BHEM continues to be the most successful geophysical tool for identifying new high-grade massive sulphides at the Tamarack Project.Figure 1: 2.71 meters (8.9 feet) of massive sulphide mineralization grading 5.13% nickel starting at 242.84 meters (Drill hole 20TK0271)To view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/2443/70250_22863b09b4850944_001full.jpg\"So far, drilling outside of our resource area is proving to be a success,\" said Brian Goldner, Head of Exploration for the Company (on secondment from Kennecott Exploration). \"The mineralization is being intersected at depths much shallower than within our resource area, at grades that continue to be quite high. Over the course of January through to April we will endeavour to drill this area out aggressively, with the goal of delineating a resource so we can add to our overall tonnage.\" \"These drill results show that we now understand the signature that we are chasing in this zone to the north of our resource area,\" said Talon Geophysicist Brian Bengert. \"Now that we are running this portable low-frequency borehole electromagnetic survey system with our own highly skilled and creative in-house crew, we are well positioned to map the thicker sulphides of this zone and beyond. We are all very excited to turn these tools loose along the 18-kilometer trend o...
