Bralorne, Wednesday, 8 January 2025.
Talisker Resources Ltd. has started pre-operation activities at its Bralorne Gold Project, marking a critical advancement in their mining operations, potentially impacting the mining sector.
Project Overview and Timeline
Talisker Resources Ltd. (TSX: TSK) is advancing operations at their 100% owned Bralorne Gold Project in British Columbia [1][2]. The company has completed and reviewed their 2025 Mustang Mine Plan with the British Columbia Ministry of Mines and Critical Minerals inspectors [1]. Following regulatory requirements, the final mine plan will be submitted 10 days before mining operations commence [1].
Technical Preparations and Infrastructure
Critical preparatory work has been ongoing since late 2024, with geotechnical mapping of the Mustang decline and historic 980 level conducted during November and December [1]. The Ground Control Management Plan is expected by January’s end, while the Mustang Ventilation Plan, following a December audit, is scheduled for completion by mid-January 2025 [1]. February 2025 will see substantial pre-construction activities, including workshop expansions, service re-establishment, and safety infrastructure installation [1].
Development Schedule and Production Plans
The project’s development phase is set to commence in March 2025, with initial advancement rates of 6 meters per day at the Mustang 1060 Level [1]. The company plans to double this rate to 12 meters per day by August [1]. Mining operations will focus on three key areas: the Alhambra, BK, and BK9870 veins [1]. The first long-hole stope drilling and blasting operations are scheduled for May 2025 [1].
Strategic Significance
The Bralorne Gold Project represents Talisker’s flagship asset [2]. This high-grade, fully permitted project marks Talisker’s transition into underground production at the Mustang Mine, positioning it as a significant development in British Columbia’s mining sector [2]. The company’s portfolio also includes the Ladner Gold Project and the Spences Bridge Project, where Talisker controls approximately 85% of the emerging Spences Bridge Gold Belt [2].
