Talisker Resources Ltd. (“
Talisker” or the
“
Company”) (TSX:TSK | OTCQX:TSKFF) is pleased to
announce the signing of a non-binding Letter of Intent
(
“LOI”) to form a joint venture with Regeneration
Enterprises Inc. (
“Regeneration”) to process the
Ladner Gold Project (
“Ladner”) Tailings Resource
(the
“Proposed JV”) owned by New Carolin Gold
Corp. (“New Carolin”), a 100% owned subsidiary of Talisker.
Ladner contains a National Instrument 43-101
compliant tailings indicated resource of 445,000 tonnes grading at
1.64 g/t for 24,000 oz of gold and an inferred resource of 93,000
tonnes grading at 1.64 g/t for 5,000 oz of gold, representing an
estimated 60% of the tailings material. The remaining 40% remains
undrilled. A 2011 study by the Engineering Department at University
of British Columbia consisting of material regrind to P80 of 93µm
returned average concentrate leach recoveries of 81.6% for the
tailings material.
The Proposed JV is planned to be undertaken in
five phases. Regeneration will secure funding for each phase,
unless otherwise agreed in the Definitive Agreement:
- Phase 1 Sampling - characterization, technology evaluation and
engineering design, and environmental assessment and restoration
planning – completion by December 31, 2024
- Phase 2 Design - costing, environmental and risk assessment,
and permitting – completion by December 31, 2025
- Phase 3 - Construction – completion by December 31, 2026
- Phase 4 - Production – throughout 2027, 2028, 2029
- Phase 5 - Site Rehabilitation – completion by December 31,
2030
The above dates and timelines are indicative and
may change by mutual agreement. Talisker and Regeneration have
agreed to share the net profit of the Proposed JV. There is a
provision for Talisker to secure the transfer of certain, useful
infrastructure and equipment on termination of the Proposed JV.
Regeneration is a public benefit corporation
incorporated in Delaware, USA. As a privately held social
enterprise, Regeneration identifies and transforms legacy mining
sites into ecological assets while producing needed minerals.
Regeneration’s mission is to foster biodiversity, community, and
climate positive minerals for the energy transition, green tech,
and sustainable brands through remining, reprocessing, and
restoration. Regeneration’s full value mining strategy utilizes new
technologies and methods to safely remine and reprocess tailings,
waste rock, and water to extract minerals and metals. RESOLVE, a
Washington DC non-governmental organization that launched
Regeneration, is the majority shareholder. Investors and partners
can be found here (https://www.regeneration.enterprises/).
Regeneration has identified a short list of potential remining and
restoration sites, including Ladner.
Terry Harbort, Talisker’s President and CEO
commented, “We are excited to be part of Regeneration's exciting
vision to transform legacy sites for the benefit of all
stakeholders. The business allows for the recovery of significant
ounces of gold and complete rehabilitation of the historic tailings
facility at Ladner. Having the Proposed JV funded and managed by
Regeneration allows Talisker to advance a secondary business while
remaining focused on our flagship Bralorne asset, currently
transitioning into production.”
Stephen D'Esposito President and CEO of
Regeneration commented, “We see significant, potential value in
recovering gold from waste while supporting restoration of the
site. This formula, treating legacy sites as remining and
restoration opportunities, has value across British Columbia and
the rest of Canada. With this important first step we now have work
to do with First Nations, technology innovators, and the
province.”
