Metals One (AIM: MET1, OTCQB: MTOPF), a critical and precious metals developer and investor with a key focus on gold and uranium, is pleased to announce it has invested a further £200,000 in Talon Resources PLC (AIM: TAR) ("Talon"), a gold exploration company focused on North America, having originally invested £150,000 in September 2025, as detailed below. As a result, Metals One now owns 5.57% of Talon's enlarged issued share capital following the admission of Talon's enlarged share capital to trading on AIM today.

Talon Resources plc

Talon has been admitted to trading on AIM, transitioning from a Main Market cash shell to a North American gold exploration company. Its flagship asset is the 90%-owned Eagle Lake Gold Project, located in Ontario's Dryden Gold District within the prospective Wabigoon Subprovince, comprising 95 contiguous claims covering 1,986 hectares. Historical exploration at Eagle Lake returned surface sample results of up to 204 g/t Au, while only 26 shallow drill holes have been completed across the project area. Planned exploration, funded from Talon's existing cash resources, includes geophysical and geochemical surveys, together with an initial 2,000m diamond drilling programme.

Through its collaboration with MINML, Talon is applying machine learning-assisted targeting to support exploration at Eagle Lake and generate new opportunities across the Wabigoon Subprovince, supporting its broader North American growth strategy.
