[{"type":"text","content":"Talon Metals Reports New Assay Results Outside of the Tamarack Resource Area: 9.31% Nickel Equivalent in the Raptor ZoneDrilling to date suggests 250 meters of continuous high-grade nickel-copper mineralization in the Raptor ZoneTamarack, Minnesota--(Newsfile Corp. - January 16, 2024) - Talon Metals Corp. (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, provides assay results from various new drill holes within the \"Raptor Zone\". The Raptor Zone lies to the north of the Company's Resource Area and represents a new area with the potential for significant exploration upside at the Tamarack Nickel Project.Figure 1: 2.2m of 9.31% NiEq intersected in drill hole 23TK0483 at a depth of 653 metersTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2443/194308_b0672a6cb4cde8eb_001full.jpgToday's results include a 5.93-meter (19.5 feet) intercept of high-grade massive nickel and copper mineralization assaying 2.92% Ni and 1.73% Cu (4.09% NiEq), which includes a 2.2-meter (7.2 feet) intercept of high-grade massive nickel and copper mineralization assaying at 6.84% Ni and 3.80% Cu (9.31% NiEq). Talon's in-house drilling and geophysics teams continue to grow their understanding of the high-grade mineralization potential in the Raptor Zone, as the exploration and drilling within the area progresses into 2024 using Talon's in-house fleet of drill rigs. Based on drill results to date in the Raptor Zone, drilling suggests a 250-meter strike length of continuous high-grade massive nickel and copper mineralization within the Raptor's Head (see Figure 3 below).SummaryThe new intercept in drill hole 23TK0483 was targeted from an off-hole borehole electromagnetic anomaly (geophysics) from previous drill hole 22TK0430 and represents a 91% increase in thickness of the high-grade nickel and copper mineralization compared to the previously drilled intercept in hole 22TK0430. These results help demonstrate that with more positive drilling results, the potential for a new resource from the Raptor Zone has increased.Of note, the fact that the mineralization appears to be getting thicker is consistent with how the Company made its previous new high-grade nickel-copper discov...
