Drill Mobilisation at the Tirzzit Copper Project
Talisman Metals PLC has announced the mobilization of drilling operations at its Tirzzit copper project in Morocco, with approximately 3,000 meters of reverse circulation drilling expected to commence in early September and last for about six weeks. This program aims to establish mineralisation data points along the basal series strike and conduct aggressive step-outs, with assay results anticipated towards the end of the drilling campaign. The Tirzzit Project, acquired from a subsidiary of Aya Silver & Gold Inc., is a sediment-hosted stratiform Cu-Ag system with historical drill intersections reported by the Moroccan Government agency between 1972 and 1976, including 3.16% Cu over 2.5m and 0.60% Cu over 11.4m.

Talisman Metals PLC ("Talisman" or the "Company") announces drill mobilisation at the Tirzzit copper project. Geosond Maroc SARL has been engaged to drill approximately 3,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling on the Tirzzit copper project, and it is expected the drilling programme will commence within the first week of September and last approximately six weeks. The drilling programme is primarily to establish mineralisation data points along the entire basal series strike as identified and described in the Company's press releases from 29 May, 23 July, and 7 August 2026. Additionally, a portion of the drill programme will be dedicated to aggressive step outs along the projected strike horizon. Laboratory assay results are anticipated to be announced towards the end of the drilling campaign and continue on for several weeks thereafter as results become available to the Company after the delivery of drilling samples.
About the Tirzzit Project
The Tirzzit Project is a sediment-hosted stratiform Cu-Ag system, located 225km east of the city of Agadir, Morocco. The acquisition transaction of the Project was announced February 16, 2026 (see press release) from a wholly owned subsidiary of Aya Silver & Gold Inc. (TSX: AYA; OTCQX: AYASF) ("Aya"), the Company's 4.7% shareholder. The Tirzzit Project consists of two mining licenses covering a surface area of 16.5km2. Historic drilling results, as reported by Moroccan Government agency Bureau of Research and Mining Participations (BRPM) between 1972 and 1976 ("BRPM Reports"), include drill intersections of 3.16% Cu over 2.5m and 0.60% Cu over 11.4m. Presently the Company is reviewing the extensive BRPM Reports and past collected geophysical data for exploration planning slated to commence in 3Q2026. Talisman continues to process with Aya the formal transfer of the Tirzzit licences on the back of the sale agreement announced February 16, 2026.
