While Talisker considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently availableto it, they may prove to be incorrect. Forward looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors whichmay cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievementsexpressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Such factors include risks inherent in the exploration and development of mineraldeposits, including risks relating to changes in project parameters as plans continue to be redefined, risks relating to variations in grade orrecovery rates, risks relating to changes in mineral prices and the worldwide demand for and supply of minerals, risks related to increasedcompetition and current global financial conditions, access and supply risks, reliance on key personnel, operational risks regulatory risks,including risks relating to the acquisition of the necessary licenses and permits, financing, capitalization and liquidity risks, title andenvironmental risks and risks relating to the failure to receiveall requisite shareholderand regulatory approvals.

A number of risks and uncertainties could cause the Company’s actual results to differmaterially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including: (1) a downturn in general economic conditions inNorth America and internationally, (2) the inherent uncertainties and speculative nature associated with gold exploration, (3) a decreaseddemand for gold, (4) any number of events or causes which may delay exploration and development of the Company’s property interests,such as environmental liabilities, weather, mechanical failures, safety concerns and labour problems, (5) the risk that the Company does notexecute its business plan, (6) inability to finance operations and growth, (7) inability to obtain all necessary permitting and financing, and (8)other factors beyond the Company’s control.

Additional information about Talisker and these and other assumptions, risks and uncertainties is available on SEDAR under the publicfilings of Talisker available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Any Resources, Reserves or other estimates as to the volume of mineralized rockcontained herein are historical estimates and were completed prior to the implementation of NI 43-101 unless expressly stated. Sufficientwork to classify the historic mineral resource as a current mineral resource has not been completed. Hence, the resource estimate shouldnot be reliedupon.

• Three historic mines owned by separate companies, over 50 years of production
• [email protected]/t for 4.2Moz from 30 veins• Historic mining at Bralorne and
Pioneer averaged 115,000oz per 50m vertical panel (2,300oz/verticalmeter)
• Mining halted in 1971 at the 20 Level (900m depth) on all except the 77 vein (due to US$35/oz gold), mining on 77 vein to 1.9km depth
• 33 other veins identified, evidence for all 63 to be open at depth many along strike
• Existing compliant near surface resource of 663,[email protected]/t for 174,400oz BralorneSample

Character is t i cs o f Go ld Minera l i za t ion
• Historical mining focussed on high-grade quartz veins only.
• Preliminary drilling has intersected lower-grade vein selvage.
• Gold grades in vein selvage range from 0.5 to 1.0 g/t gold
• Combined vein/selvage increases overall vein width with minimal dilution
• Potential upside in any future mine planning scenario
