[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\nTSX:TLO\n\n\n\nROAD TOWN, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, Dec. 1, 2014 /CNW/ - Talon Metals Corp. (\"Talon\" or the \"Company\") (TSX:TLO) is pleased to provide an exploration update on the Tamarack North Nickel-Copper-PGE project (\"Tamarack North Project\") located in Minnesota, USA. \n\nHIGHLIGHTS\n\n\nDrill hole 14TK0211 intercepted 15.94 meters of massive nickel-copper-PGE sulphide mineralization at 7.14% nickel (\"Ni\"), 2.43% copper (\"Cu\"), 0.81g/t platinum (\"Pt\") and 0.68 g/t palladium (\"Pd\"), which equates to a 8.49% nickel equivalent (\"NiEq\") grade basis.\nThe massive nickel-copper-PGE sulphide mineralization intercepted in hole 14TK0211 is located approximately 41 meters to the east from the current Massive Sulphide Unit Mineral Zone (\"MSU\") (see Figures 3 and 4) that was defined in the Company's independent mineral resource estimate prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 (\"NI 43-101\") dated August 29, 2014.\nThe distance from the previously reported MSU, as well as the width of this exceptionally high grade intercept, is significant and further work is planned for the 2015 winter program.\nNet textured and disseminated mineralization continues to the east of the previously reported Semi Massive Sulphide Unit Mineral Zone (\"SMSU\") with a 47 meter intercept of 0.63% Ni, 0.44% Cu, 0.21 g/t Pt and 0.12 g/t Pd, which equates to a 0.88% NiEq grade basis, within hole 14TK0204. Several massive sulphide veins have been intercepted.\nNet textured and disseminated mineralization continues to the east of the 138 Mineral Zone (\"138 Zone\"), including a 24.5 meter intercept of 0.66% Ni, 0.52% Cu, 0.31 g/t Pt and 0.18 g/t Pd, which equates to a 0.98% NiEq grade basis, within hole 14TK0206. Several massive sulphide veins have been intercepted.\nThe continuation of mineralization, combined with the intercept of massive sulphide veins to the east of both the previously reported SMSU and the 138 Zone, will require follow-up drilling in future resource expansion programs, as these veins are typically proximal to high grade nickel and copper mineralization.\n\"The results from the recent drill program at Tamarack are outstanding\", said Warren Newfield, Executive Chairman of Talon.  \"Tamarack has proven itself to be one of the highest grade nickel-copper sulphide deposits currently being ex...
