Talisker Resources (TSK) Mining Forum Americas 2026 summary

Project overview and growth strategy

• Bralorne Gold Project, a historic high-grade producer, is being revitalized with a low CapEx, rapid start-up approach and a long-term DSO agreement to support revenue during ramp-up.

• The company aims to become a multi-asset gold producer, targeting over 200,000 oz annual production by developing a 40 km gold belt, with Mustang Mine already in production and Bralorne West and Olympus Mine in development.

• Production is ramping from 25,000 oz in 2027 to 100,000 oz by 2031, with a transition from DSO to on-site milling and a hub-and-spoke model planned.

• The project benefits from strong infrastructure, proximity to major highways, hydroelectric power, and access to skilled labor from nearby mining centers.

• British Columbia's favorable permitting environment and proactive government have accelerated mine authorizations.

Financials and operational metrics

• Market capitalization is around CAD 300 million, with over 200 million shares outstanding and strong institutional ownership above 50%.

• The latest PEA, based on actual mine economics, shows a base case NPV of over CAD 1 billion, IRR of 31.3%, and average annual production of 110,000 oz at a CAD 3,500 gold price.

• Initial CapEx is CAD 416 million for the first five to six years, with all-in sustaining costs averaging $1,900/oz, dropping to $1,700/oz post-milling.

• Projected annual cash flow is CAD 170 million with a 2.2-year payback; higher gold prices could double NPV and cash flow.

• A long-term DSO agreement with Ocean Partners for 1,500 tpd over seven years provides operational flexibility during the build phase.

Resource development and exploration

• The mineral resource estimate doubled in 2024 to 3.4 million oz, mostly inferred at 8.73 g/t, with ongoing drilling focused on resource conversion.

• Mustang and Bralorne West are the main operational centers, with high-grade veins such as BK and Alhambra yielding up to 60 g/t over significant widths.

• The resource footprint extends 5.5 km along strike and 2 km at depth, with potential to double or triple resources by drilling below current operations.

• District-scale exploration targets include Congress and BRX, with plans to drill 12,000 m at Congress and develop four to five satellite deposits for centralized processing.

• Over 100,000 m of drilling is underway to expand resources and support a multi-year growth strategy.
