TORONTO, Sept. 14, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Talisker Resources Ltd. has provided an operational update on its Bralorne Gold Project in British Columbia, highlighting significant progress in various areas of the mine. The company produced approximately 4,884 ounces of gold from 19,014 tonnes of ore mined at an average grade of 7.99 g/t Au up to August 31, 2026. Additionally, 770 ounces were sold as gold concentrate, bringing the total gold sales to 5,558 ounces.
The current inventory stands at approximately 8,100 tonnes, ensuring continued marine shipment schedules through the remainder of 2026. Underground development has seen 2,265 metres completed year-to-date, comprising 1,041 metres of operating development and 1,224 metres of capital development.
At the Mustang Mine, the Alhambra vein stopes in the upper Mustang Zone have been successfully mined, and new stopes have been added to the mine plan following positive drilling results. Production long-hole drilling is underway on the BK-9870 vein system, with stope extraction scheduled to begin by late Q3 2026. The Lower Mustang Decline has advanced by 329 metres, opening access to the 1045, 1030, and 1015 levels, supporting the development of 13 new mineralized headings, with five currently producing and multiple additional headings planned.
Bralorne West Development has seen 108 metres of capital development on the Bralorne West Decline in 2025 and an additional 296 metres in 2026, totalling 404 metres. The company has constructed a resource definition drill bay at the bottom of the ramp and commenced Phase 3 lateral development on September 3, 2026, to advance towards the centre of the Bralorne West Zone.
Key underground infrastructure improvements include the installation and commissioning of a 20-person refuge station, the completion of the 1045L-to-1030L ventilation raise, and the progress in constructing a secondary underground explosives magazine. Surface infrastructure expansion has included major earthworks and site preparation at the Mustang Mine to support future growth, including infrastructure for the crushing and sorting facility, electrical upgrades, maintenance facilities, and waste rock storage expansion.
Power upgrades are underway, with the installation of a new 1.2 MW power plant with 100% redundancy. Infrastructure is in place to expand capacity to 2.4 MW in the future. Ventilation upgrades are also progressing, with the procurement of two 100-hp primary ventilation fans and the completion of associated engineering. These projects are expected to deliver approximately 55,000 cubic feet per minute (cfm) of additional airflow to the mine, enabling higher development and production rates.
Camp expansion efforts have seen the commissioning of a new 32-bed accommodation facility and the commencement of the removal and replacement of legacy camp infrastructure for a new 42-bed dormitory, mine dry, and recreation facilities. Resource conversion drilling has been completed, with 26,730 metres of drilling as of August 31, 2026, including 14,933 metres at the Mustang Mine and 11,797 metres at the Bralorne West Mine. Three drill rigs remain active, and plans are in place to add a fourth drill in Q1, 2027.
The company is also advancing the permitting process, with the submission of a 750 tonnes per day (tpd) permit amendment in July, currently under review by governing agencies. The company has initiated work on a major joint permitting amendment for production beyond 750 tpd and construction of an on-site mill. Baseline studies commenced in August 2026.
The crushing and sorting facility is progressing with detailed engineering, and major long lead time equipment, including the jaw crusher, vibrating screen plant, and cone crusher, have started to arrive. Site earthworks preparation is underway, and construction activities are scheduled to accelerate through Q4 2026.
Terry Harbort, CEO of Talisker, commented, "The Talisker team has successfully executed on a busy year at Bralorne, building the platform for growth. Key advancements in surface infrastructure, ventilation, power, accommodation, permitting, resource conversion, and most importantly, development, have been made. With the upcoming release of our PEA, we look forward to the continued delivery of our objectives."
The company will host a webinar on September 17, 2026, at 2:00 pm ET, during which management will review the results outlined in this news release and provide an update on ongoing activities at the Bralorne Gold Project.
