Terry Harbort, President and CEO of Talisker Resources (TSX: TSK) (OTCQX:TSKFF), joins me to review the October 9th news announcing the second gold sale from September production from the Mustang Mine, at their 100% owned Bralorne Gold Project in British Columbia. The Company has been consistently trucking over the first development ore from the Mustang Mine to Nicola Mining’s Craigmont Mill located in Merritt, British Columbia, and is now starting to truck over the higher-grade vein material as well as ramping up the tonnes per day to the mill.

In September, Talisker produced 862 ounces of gold from the Mustang Mine following on from the 707 ounces of gold sold in August for a total of 1,569 for the quarter ended September 30th. Production was sourced mostly from in-vein development from the 1090, 1105 and 1120 levels and production stoping from the stopes between the 1060 and 1075 levels. Planned production in the fourth quarter 2025 will be sourced from stopes between the 1075 and 1090 and the 1090 and 1020 levels.

Terry reviews their operations team’s accelerated development of the Lower Mustang decline which will allow access to the 1045 and 1030 levels below currently accessible areas. To date, 115 metres of development has been completed with 95 metres remaining to reach the 1045 level along the Alhambra and BK veins, increasing future mine output, gold production, and revenues.

In addition to having increased the amount of ore mined from 250-300 tpd, there is a current initiative to expand that up to 500 tpd and look to beginning upgrading the ore on site using ore-sorting technology.  This ore-sorting would all for shipping higher-grade material, with less associated waste, and would make it even more economical to be shipped to Nicola Mining’s Craigmont mill, which is currently at capacity processing Talisker’s ore.  Then further out the plan is to increase mining from more areas including from the Olympus Mine to the southeast of the Mustang Mine, and increase operations to 750-1,000 tpd, also utilizing other nearby processing centers with spare capacity. An economic study is slated for later this year that will explore some of these concepts in more detail. Wrapping up we discuss the key milestones and news on tap for the balance of this year.
